Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament

lol. (rain) is a skype emote huehue. but yeah, I get mindblocks easily nonmirrored :/

:P I didn't know that. ^.^ I'm sorry if you get mindblocks on songs that have patterns you're not used to, but that's part of the tournament: it tests your skill to overcomes difficult songs.

*edit* There will be either three to four cycles (I haven't decided which yet.) In each cycle, there will be one round for *each* member of a team (all teams will have the same amount of people.) Three cycles would mean each person within a team plays three different songs total, and four cycles would mean each person within a team plays four different songs total. When a specific member from each team is participating in a round for the current cycle, the other members of each team will not be participating because it is not their round to play any songs yet.

Its kind of odd to knock out mirror, someone could technically downscroll/upscroll and flip their monitor image and get the same effect. It would probably just be better to allow it in the first place because its something equal opportunity that most if not all people use.

Just my 2c

I guess I'll join, I just hope i don't forget about this lol.

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament

I'll join, and just to throw this out there I think mirror should really be allowed, I rarely use it myself but it really doesn't count as a mod and it's used as a different way to play like downscroll or different noteskins (for the record I actually use downscroll and beatmania skin)

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament

is there a specific reason you don't want mirror
i don't want to be a big meanie and pressure you but it would be nice 2 know

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament

Thank you for the advice, but in my opinion, I think using mirror is going against what the original stepartist intended. I really don't like the idea of inverting the entire stepchart to make the song easier or to avoid mindblocks. The stepartist stepped the file that way for a reason.

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament

Let me put my thoughts in this, dohoho.

I understand why you don't want mirror and agreeably it does make some charts easier when you flip the entire song, HOWEVER it's not changing how the step artist intended it to flow.

This is why mirror records and why other mods in R^3, like scramble and random, do not. It's because those mods change the entire flow and breaks both what the step artist saw AND the flow that the step artist made.

However, this is your tournament and don't mind the lock on the mirror mod, it would make some charts trickier to nail (depending on what hand you're strong in). Just know this is why mirror records.

The original FFR only allowed you to use arrow keys, so i can make the argument that anyone who uses anything other than arrow keys is going against the spirit of FFR. While i respect the fact that you're hosting the tournament and you're taking the time out to organize things, In order for something like this to be successful, its going to have to be fun for everyone.

When you restrict something as basic and widely used as mirror, you're going to turn people off on joining your tournament. It is your opinion that mirror is bad, ok thats fine, but I guarantee that you're in the minority here that think that way. You probably should compromise on this, there isn't any reason not to.

Like i said in a previous post, there is nothing stopping me from changing my scroll direction, flipping my monitor image and remapping my keys. Its not that hard to do, and in doing so i have achieved ghetto mirror and there is absolutely no way for you to tell that i did this besides requiring a video.

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament

Thank you for the advice Charu, and I understand where you're coming from, but I still believe that it wouldn't be that much of a difference to not use mirror. For instance, I'm left-handed, and I assume most stepartists are right-handed and made the majority of their files for right-handed people (whether consciously or unconsciously). However, I still overcome songs with heavy right-handed patterns with practice, which eventually makes those patterns easier.

*edit* Although I don't agree with people using mirror, I'll be willing to change my decision if five people or more (who join this tournament) vote against me restricting mirror.

I was planning an argument for being able to use mirror, then I thought of this. Makes my argument not worth forming.

Edit: Judgement on the Dark mod? Just noticed R^3 plasters it on the score screen under mods and thought I'd check.

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament

@axith, I didn't think anyone would like to use the dark modification, but if it makes it easier for anyone, then you're free to use it.

That helps me too since i use dark as well. Thanks for being willing to compromise on the mirror thing. Sorry if i came off as a bit harsh, I have a habit of being blunt when it comes to things i don't agree with.

It's okay, and thank you for being honest with me.
