Hell yea! DF is still here just waiting for another clan to come around. I'd love to have that back again that was so much fun.

Used to be competetive but quit due to various reasons in 2008/2009.
Now I occasionally play the newest song.

**Breakdown16** · 08-1-2011, 12:47 PM

In the past, when I had a little bit of skill (i.e. could AAA 10s on a fairly regular basis), I was definitely competitive.

Now, I'm playing to improve (which unfortunately isn't happening), so that makes me still competitive I guess..? Still not close to my old skill though.

(Okay I probably need to stop complaining so much and just find a way to improve fast already, ha ha.)

If getting a score you were aiming for is called competitive then I don't get it right.

Getting a score you were aiming for is like a drug. You get a satisfying and happy feeling and you'll be aiming for more and more scores. And if there's a community behind this game giving credit for each good score you achieved, it is no wonder that you keep playing with this given motivation. Additionally, if you see someone AAAing an FMO or FGO and he is given lots and lots of credits, it's obvious you're going to be (at least a bit) jealous of that person and want to be as high skilled as him/her and you keep playing and keep playing and keep playing...

As negative as this sounds, this is what keeps us playing. If we were only playing for fun, this game would get boring in no time. Without this community, this game wouldn't have the high playcount it has at the moment. And god ****ing damn without this community this game wouldn't be fun at all.

tl;dr fun IS competition :'3

I play pretty competitive. I play tournies, I host them and I try to stay at a good rank.

I tried to quit once and it didn't work obviously.

**Breakdown16** · 08-1-2011, 12:56 PM

I'm pretty sure most of the forum regulars here have been dedicated to some music rhythm game at one time or another, whether it be FFR, Stepmania, ITG, BMS, etc. The vast majority of people who regularly visit the forum probably have had enough interest in FFR to be enticed to participate in the forums.

So basically, almost anyone who sees this and is an FFR member was or is competitive.

**samurai7694** · 08-1-2011, 12:57 PM

I'm competitive. You beat my score, you die (unless you're cool)

**psychoangel691** · 08-1-2011, 01:13 PM

I mean I'm sure there are a few people around that really do play just to play but the majority that actually participate in the community typically seem to have a driving factor as to why they play.

**hi19hi19** · 08-1-2011, 03:12 PM

Not competitive, never was.
I don't mind watching others compete though, that's mildly interesting to me.

**lumphoboextreme** · 08-1-2011, 03:30 PM

Competitive. Too much so when I have too much free time. (when I was rank 1 and leading up to it)

100% yes.

**Kibblre** · 08-1-2011, 04:05 PM

I play non-competitively, but I still try to do the best I can on the songs I play. But, I could care less about my ranks or entering tournaments, so I put down non.

LJRoX · 08-1-2011, 05:07 PM

Conpetitive in every game I play.

TBH, I am probably one of the most competitive ppl in this site

Does that mean you rage a lot?

**Elite Ninja** · 08-1-2011, 05:17 PM

I fall under the competitive category and have been for over 3 years but right now I am losing the want to compete since I havent improved at all over the past month or 2 making me think I have reached my max potential, which is sad.

As of right now if I want to be competitive then I play on FFR.
If I want to play for fun then I go onto the DF engine and play songs I like there

!

XxMidigamixX · 08-1-2011, 06:53 PM

I've always been a competitive person. For me personally, I get competitive when its about FCing/AAAing songs in the game, even trying to 100% the games that I have. And yes, I had some cases where I become so damn competitive in playing Scrabble, Monopoly, Chess, anything that you think of. In which that has contributed to making me competitive for FCs and AAAs in this game and SM. I have to admit though, aside with competing with friends that I personally know and the people online, I always hated losing (but I don't go KBC whenever I lose hehehe...besides, doesn't that spoil the fun as well? I may be extremely competitive but I'm always a good sport whenever something goes against me hehehe). But I just think that competition (which I do think that setting a personal goal is an indirect way of competition) is what strives the gaming communities in general. I mean, I'm not saying that everyne is competitive but I'm just saying it in my perspective since my friends were competitive in other games as well.

I play the game because it makes me moist. So does that mean for fun?

^this
with the exception of Herogashix. My true goal is to be better than him and rub his nose in it.

**Sweagen** · 08-7-2011, 10:14 AM

I don't think I'll ever be good enough to be competitive... also I have a certain degree of incurable lag that makes me think getting a lot of 10 AAA's or an FMO AAA might be impossible unless I get a new computer or something. I do like to improve my ranks, though.

**PrawnSkunk** · 08-7-2011, 10:16 AM

I play for leisure, though I do find is satisfying to see my FC and AAA bars higher.
