Um, wow.... I cant believe this happened....

[25thhour]

Last year In Grade 7 I was in the computer lab playing Caprice and there was a crowd around me

[jpcduran]

Yeah I play at work all day and people passing by always are like "HOLY SH*T YOU'RE AMAZING!" Not really though.

[25thhour]

Yeah, I sucked last year, but everyone was like WOW!

[EnR]

I always play at school and sometimes during class, and ppl ALWAYS say you have no life and ........WTF..yah your just pressing anything or u completly memorized the notes. But i still might go in the talent show at my school, dont no if i should, cuz like half of my school will say HOLY SHI-AMAZING, other half will be like........=.= no life...

loools

[25thhour]

I don't care about what people say. I usually get a good reaction when I play FFR from the students standpoint. But the teachers HATE it!

[insomniac_platypus]

... if i win first place, i get 200$ cash. wouldnt that be awesome if i got 22$ for playing ffr?? lol

A year or two ago when I used to mash and I thought I was super good, I would do something like FOTBB and get like hundreds of even 1K boo's and people thought I was god. However now I'm FC'ing Uber Rave (Mc'gravel's one for SM) and playing Fury of the Storm and I gather crowds at school during spare. I'm now known as DDR kid then i always reply "DDR sucks, ITGs where it's at" and people have no idea wtf I'm talking about.

Anyway good job...I wish my school had a talent show but I would be way to embarrassed to do it. Also for best results just do something really with easy streams and if you want it to look really hard do what I do...move your whole body and use weird hand gestures to make it look MUCH harder. Also ask who ever is in charge of this stuff if they can have a camera also on your hands.

@EnR: Couldn't agree more.

[Artic_counter]

people like it when it's a fast stream, it's almost the most easiest thing to do when you play spread and it's the most impressive

[SeraphinEveles]

rofl. my GF started playing FFR/SM and her parents saw her playing one day (mind you she was playing light/easy) i decided to show them my AC:OWA heavy steps. jaws dropped. greatest things ever XD

[agashka]

yeah well, u guys are lucky, i was playing Vertex Beta with 10 miss, and my friend was behind me and said 'nah, Justin is better then ya'. Justin is my friend, he can do BB Evo, but cant unlock the token. He gets over 100miss/boo for sure

Oh well :/ i guess popularity > skills

[All_That_Chaz]

In college after freshman year I was the only one that even played anymore, and my friends saw it as just kind of sad that i spent so much time playing it, except they liked the yoshi bonus round when they were drunk =/

And ffr is actually the running gag at the cafeteria lunch table where i work lol. The only time there was all that much awe involved was when i fc'd a few difficult songs while stoned at a friends place. My favorite quote of that night was a friend going, "I can't even put into words what is going on before me."

[rsr2]

I wish I could do FFR for a talent show, but everyone says I have no life and go out do something and s*** which annoys me.....

[Chromer]

Oh boy, for my talent show in 7th grade, I sang some Michael Jackson. >_>

[Callipygian]

Everything that has to do with rythm or music impresses people easily. I'm a very mediocre pianist, but just playing some easy Chopin waltzes or a few Joplin ragtime songs usually stuns whole crowds of amazed people, wondering at the speed of my fingers and the fact I can play a few minutes of perfectly logical and harmonicly not very challenging music by heart.

Still, sometimes it feels like being a circus artist when people are in awe like that. While the attention might feel good once in a while, I found out most people are quickly bored and generally don't care about you personally, but just like to watch your performance, passing by, enjoying it like they would enjoy a freak show. Sometimes it can actually start a nice conversation, but mostly it seems to create a personal distance to other people, who, from a strange mix of awe and pity, seem extra reserved towards you.

As for FFR in specific, certainly in the Netherlands where we don't have many arcade halls and most people have never heard of DDR, SM, FFR, ITG, O2Jam or whatever, many people are amazed by it when I show it to them, but apart from DDR, these games are generally regarded as geeky lol. People are like: "oh wow, fantastic, but that guy must have no life at all, spending so much time abusing his keyboard"

[Nyokou]

That's scary, Chromer. :/

[hayatewillown]

HAHA!
I was going to use ffr in a talent show, I went in the library, Full combo'd Delirium, and my librarian put me up for it.

I hate you rofl. What song did you do?

I should do it for a talent show and play Summer -Speedy Mix- or something.

EDIT: Just remembered that my teacher is gonna let me play with a projecter behind me and wireless keyboard(either that or the laptop but more than likely the better one =D) in 2nd period when we have free time.

EDIT 2(11/19) : Today I played Euro Freak in the computer lab, got 20 goods and missed because the bell rang. But people just surrounded me. And I remember one of my friends(TheRose) came up to me and yelled to everyone: "THIS GUY IS THE FFR KING HERE!"

And lol, I'm the best in my town(hell i think my whole county XD)

[lkayn]

This is what makes me wish I wasn't homeschooled. D=

That would be so freaking awesome. And I think I would awe alot of people. I'm not nearly as good as some of the freaking amazing people on here, but, I can play streams pretty darned well, and songs filled with streams are what I play most often anyway. I find them more fun.

Now I wish I still went to school. Just simply because of a situation such as this.
