8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread

[anubis2003]

This was so incredibly frustrating. My keyboard occasionally fails to register. Gah!

I've started allowing myself 1g in the intro. Otherwise my replay count would already be over 400 (maybe over 500). I don't know why, but I cannot do that intro consistently at all.

I got a 2g score once, I can do it again. I hope. As long as those mindblocks don't get me (that 64th run in the middle is tripping me up way too often).

[HalfStep]

Very nice man Keep up the good work!

[anubis2003]

congrats sayuncle990. That has to feel great. I am extremely jealous. I can AAA every single part on its own, but I can't get a perfect run together in over 300 restarts

That was happening to me for the longest time, until I started getting the rhythms down in the middle part. Then I would AAA everything up until the ending, but always screw up the in the last 400 notes. Then for my last run I put on 1 good auto fail and got it. Guess the fear kept me in line...

Funny thing is that I feel like I have the rhythms down in the middle now but I mess up in other ways. I almost always get a good in the intro - it can take me 20+ retries to make it through the intro without getting a good. That is such ragebait for me and keeps me from playing at my best I feel. For my first 100 plays I would basically never get a good in the jumpstreams between the intro and those 32nd rolls, but since then I get them randomly in there most of the time too it seems. I've gotten really good at those 32nd rolls and all the rhythmic stuff following it, except for that 64th roll which my fingers are freaking out at lately. Then there's all the ending jumpstreams which I feel like I should have no problem with but my fingers not cooperating and nerves generally keep me from getting through them.

I know I can AAA or BF this song, but I don't know if it'll happen during this week or not. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and if I have to play this song 1000 times, so be it.

If those fixes Silvuh mentioned do get incorporated, I may stand a much better chance at this. I'm tired of restarting that intro.

Where is the intro giving you trouble, just overall? The rhythms are actually pretty simple if you can hear it a few times. I can try making a video if you want to hear keytaps. Those ending jumpstreams are definitely due to nerves I think.

Xiz. All I can say to you is be this:

[.Rarity]

Come on, Xiz, step your game up! :O

[anubis2003]

Yeah just overall. After my first 2 attempts at the song I got the rhythms down pat and was making it through the intro consistently, but that just didn't last long. A mental block or something makes me hit it strangely. Switching back and forth between mirror or changing my playing angle helps, but only so much. It generally happens in the first 28 notes so it's not horrible as I don't have to replay through much, but if I'm going to AAA this song I need to do better than I am at that beginning.

[Xiz]

My biggest difficulty is just mastering the 48th note parts. And the times I get those, I hit random goods during the last 1/3 of the song on those jumps.

[Garquillex]

Just knocked a few of you down a notch. Will knock some more down later

[anubis2003]

NOO! please don't!

[Xiz]

You know whats great? Finally getting 3 goods on this song, then on the LAST JUMP of the song, getting 2 goods.
