10th Official FFR Tournament

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

After all, since when in the official tournament has a player not AAA'ed a song until round 5 or later? I don't have data to support this claim, but I like to think it never happened.

Pretty sure Xonica won D1 last year without any AAAs

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

But, recently, ever since I've returned to FFR, I came back with a new mindset in just being casual, and try to the very best of my ability, to have fun. That's what I'm doing.

I figured I would add in my two cents and say that the effort you've put into that has really shown. You seem to be much calmer than you were in the past.

Also you'll jump up 5 spots even if you only shave off 2 goods.
Another thing that may help is to just take a break from the file. Try not to worry about the official at all this weekend and try it again on Monday or something. The great thing about the official tournaments is that the rounds are long enough that you can clear your head if the song begins to frustrate you and/or you start developing bad habits.

It pretty much comes down to what FG said: you have a solid score already and you can def improve it.
Though don't feel bad if you can't improve. You'll know you put up an honest effort and that's all anyone can ever ask.

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

I know exactly what krunky means too, thats the sad part. I cannot for the life of me figure out these trills no matter how much i try them. I'm bad at trills, period. No matter how much i practice them i just dont get the concept of broken trills. I can aaa the rest of the file semi-consistently but im honestly about to give up as well as i dont see mysrelf improving. Imo, i did give it my best as being shitty at trills i still managed 3-1-1-1 which is FAR better than i expected to get. I'm not completely done, but pretty close.

You know, this really made my day, Tosh Thank you. I'm glad my efforts and different mindset have shown. Definitely in comparison to who I was before

Also, that's what I'm doing (in reference to taking a break from the file). It's insane that I've AAA'd the entire first half of the song so many times it's like a breeze for me, it's just that last half that really gets to me lol

As well, below are screenshots of the parts that give me my goods. It's ridiculous but it seems as if random goods are fluent throughout these parts it makes me wanna cry Like legit get upset lol I could be really "feeling" the chart, and then hit one of these parts, get a good, cringe ... facepalm:












These parts are death .... and I don't know why

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament


This spot is actually something that would block me pretty bad :/
Patterns like that on the left hand are probably my biggest weakness

The rest look like patterns you try to jump and split goods on them or something

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys

don't think of a trill as a trill
hear a beat
hit a key
think of it like that
you'll survive

also @krunky idk mirror have you tried that you probably have
oh yeah break is good break is good

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

I have tried mirror, but doing the trills 1 3 with my left hand sucks royally

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

Just pretend they're multiple small patterns instead of one, don't look too much into it.

Also:



As for the trills, hit the 32nd notes really fast and emphasis them, then act as if the other notes after are another pattern. Thinking of it as a slowdown is just not consistent enough.

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

Had an easier time with the trills once i stopped hitting them as slowng down, and trying to hit them as gallops. Trill starts normally and when you see the gaps between start to increase, switch to a sort of gallop. My last couple improvements have only had goods outside the trills because i isolated the file at 500 to get used to hitting it like that.

File also fast enough that what sorie said about jumps instead of graces works perfectly

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

I can only play the song on mirror or i literally get 20+ goods on the trills. but gonna read and look at what you guys wrote and hopefully i can get over the trills and aaa haha

Edit: LOL yeah some of those spots are tricky as hell, Krunky. the second roll burst near the end kill my run 50% of the time and i get X-1-1-1 on it haha.

Edit 2: Thanks Sorie, i might try that monday when i try it again, hitting the 32nds really hard then thinking of the rest of the trill as something else. but the transition from the up down to right left trill is a killer for me :/ But yeah i hit the graces as jumps, works 99% of the time for me.

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

At the end of the day, just try your best. I know what pressure can be like in competitions like these, and the worst decision you can make is to give up.

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

Yay, i improved by a stinking boo, 7-0-0-1 beats my 3-1-1-1 :P Baller. hehe
Good at the very very end on the last trill, though, sigh

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

I had a 5-0-0-1 run and got 4 goods in the last like, 10 notes lmfao..I'm mindblocked in so many spots now..

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

I certainly intended for this to be an option on this file.

[choof]

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

but it's so much more satisfying to hit them as not jumps
