Who inspired you in FFR?

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

One of my friends introduced me to the site. He was better than me for a while (which by today's standards isn't very good anymore). I then started hanging out in MP and watched and versed people like Shash and Bill Clinton (watching him FC Pants back in 2006 was ridiculous). I'd have to say those two were the first to cause me to want to strive to be better.

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

so many people... AOD Element got me into SM, and ive always been blown away by samtorx, leonid, Dossar ect. ect.

Edit: I was introduced to FFR by my brothers friend Adam, cause he was playing ff7 battle with screen cut and 1x and then delirium I was like what... also archowls vid was crazy as hell back when (quasar 1.5) next to bluemystics disregard video... btw I could go on all day x)

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

I'd actually have to say that Shashakiro was also badass and in a way encouraged me. To me he was like, a guardian on FFR back in 2006/2007 haha.

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

Oh and Sprite-. I remember watching a replay of one of his scores and I nearly pooped my pants. Back when I was 12 and thought every good person was cheating

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

1. Jellygod. Like oh my god did this man push me.
2. TC_Halogen. Always been one of the people on this site to look to.
3. Shashikaro / Dossar. Both GREAT players who can do a lot of things.
4. T-Force. The man knows how to annoy me with supping me.
5. Reuben / Zak. Pretty much these guys are the first batches of rivals who haven't sky rocketed past me yet.

Just to name a few.

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

I watched Vegarddd's dragonforce vids first in 2007, then I watched StepmaniaFreak's videos a lot and he linked a lot of the files he played to the ffr simfile database. I saw FFRTheGame and played for a couple of months and then later on when I found out how to work SM, I saw IzzySM's quads, and I started playing a bit after that. I was about to stop playing because I didn't have any packs at all. All of my simfiles came from the db here, and then Mariocamposo (a really cool guy on youtube who doesn't play anymore) linked me to a huge list of packs and I was like omg this is going to be awesome! He also showed me stepmaniaonline and so I played on stepmaniaonline all the time since. Then in summer of 2008 I saw thaor AAA st.scarhand, and I was mindblown and set a personal goal to AAA st.scarhand myself and be better than thaor overall, and I played for quite a few years trying to get better and better. Stargroup and a ton of other solo players started up a site called keybeatonline and that was my home while ffr was down and I dabbled around in solo for a while. I also saw nekogon's mendes AAA video and wanted to be better than him eventually but didn't have as much drive to be better than thaor, so I never really got good at solo. I then came back to ffr on my own in summer 2011, because I played nearly every pack that matters at least 10 times over and wanted new files to play. So I played every FFR file going for fc's, and then someone told me FFR is more about AAA's and linked me to standalone and velocity's engine.swf and so I AAA'ed as much as I can. Now I'm getting back into solo again because of ben's solo tourney and unreal playing solo.
I think that's everyone that has had a large influence on me xD

damn that's long
tl;dr: Vegarddd, StepmaniaFreak, IzzySM, Mariocamposo, Thaor, Stargroup and other solo players/keybeatonline, nekogon, ben's solo tourney and unreal.

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

The whole "hanging out with Shash every lunchbreak at school" thing probably had a bit of influence maybe

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

-An unregistered lady who went by the name of Kari introduced me to the game.
-Spinal_Compression also happened to play in my school and I surpassed skill before either of us graduated.
-Bynary Fission when that one handed thread was active.
-Sakiish for Stepmania
-TC_Halogen when I was in my prime, we had a rivalry going on in the Stepmania Tournament. Remember this mate? That may have been the last time I was ahead of you in skill. D:
-I love you for SMO.

and others.

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

Frans813 inspired me to play FFR.
First i tried SM (i played pretty well the first time) and he said you should register at FFR that's better, because there is competition.

And now in the community the persons who inspire me are:
ShadowAmesia: He is a nice person and plays well with spread (i'm to get so good as him while playing one handed)
BynaryFission: Frans told me about him and inspired him. I saw his profile and got inspired too.

Re: Who inspired you in FFR?

>silentoath (went by an older nick) for introducing FFR to me when I was 13.
>Xiao for being the dude I grew up with as rhythm game buddies and looked up to 'cause he was 29837983 times better than I was before I surpassed him.
>WTFBrandon for getting me to start stepping keyboard SM files.
>Kommisar for being the first major SM dude to acknowledge my existence in the SM charting world. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here today and I wouldn't be nearly as popular since I practically leeched off his shadow even up until today.
>#kbo. All of you are bros.

Other influences in terms of skill boosting
>Arch0wl's 1.5x Quasar vid
>IzzySM's index quads

>Laggy
