9th Official FFR Tournament RT
Posted on: October 25, 2013, at 10:47:40am

Hooray for copy-and-pasting from my 8th Official Tourney RT \:3/

Predict my placement for credits! Simply post what you think will be my final placement in D6 (ghosting; ties at the cutoff will count as passing scores unless there is actually a tiebreaker) and in D7. For each place you are off by for D6, you get a +1. For each place you are off by for D7, you get +2. The guesser with the lowest score wins 10,000 credits. 5,000 for second, 3,000 for third. In case of a tie (or ties), the earlier guesser takes the higher prize.
Guessing over. Let's see how I do.

D6 final placement: 3rd
D7 final placement: 12th

List of guesses:
[+00] T-Force - D6: 3rd | D7: 12th - 20,000 credits (10,000 x2 bonus)
[+04] PaperclipGames - D6: 5th | D7: 13th - 5,000 credits
[+06] danceflashrevo - D6: 1st | D7: 10th - 3,000 credits
[+11] FontSize72LOL - D6: 6th | D7: 16th
[+11] dAnceguy117 - 2nd | D7: 17th
[+18] LongGone - D6: 0th | D7: 4.5th
[+19] Elite Ninja - D6: 2nd | D7: 21st
[+22] EzExZeRo7497 - D6: 5th | D7: 22nd

Prologue: This makes my sixth time participating in an official tourney. Going against some ridiculously good players in D7 this year... Never thought I would ever be placed this high—though even at my peak, I was low D7 at best. Since then I've lost a good chunk of my skill from not having played much over the last few weeks, but I'll give it my all!

Round 1: Mirage Garden (Long Version) (AAA) | Cutoff: (blackflag) | 2 attempts
Haha, got the AAA in the first 7 minutes of the round and two people had already beaten me to it. Good start.

Round 2: Ah Shwe Bah (AAA) | Cutoff: (blackflag) | 12 attempts
First full playthrough: 5-1-1-4.
Interesting song choice. There were some tricky patterns, so I'm glad I nailed the AAA somewhat quickly.

Round 3: Wraith (AAA) | Cutoff: (AAA or die) | 2 attempts
Speedy, but manageable. AAA'd on my first full playthrough (2 attempts because I got a boo the first time). I'm starting to think that they should've just went with that hybrid (cumulative + elimination) tournament style for D7.

Round 4: Dishevel (AAA) | Cutoff: (AAA or die) | 11 attempts
First full playthrough: 11-1-2-3.
A more control-based file this time. Overall I thought both the chart and the song were fine, albeit nothing too noteworthy. Really didn't expect to AAA this so quickly, and I'm happy I did because there were probably a bunch of mindblockable patterns.

Round 5: Extratone Pirates (7-0-1-1) | Cutoff: (booflag) | 213 attempts
First full playthrough: 24-2-4-6.
I'm out, see you guys next year.
11/23: Played more because people were telling me to keep trying (lol why?)
Improved quite a bit, but even that didn't bump me up a single place so yeah. Peace.

Epilogue: 12th place. Honestly much better than I expected (though I'm sure at least a third of D7 didn't even try this year), and I don't have big regrets since EP booflag is way out of my current skill level contrary to what some of you silly people think. That, and I'm finally getting vrofl, so whoop. The journey to actually place top 8 in my own division continues...

Round 6: Epidermis v2 (8-1-3-3) | Cutoff: (blackflag) | 9 attempts
First full playthrough: 31-4-6-6.
That colored cluster nonsense alone probably accounts for like 8 difficulty points...

Round 7: All your base are belong to ME (4-0-2-3) | Cutoff: (AAA or die) | 13 attempts
First full playthrough: 17-4-3-3.
Great file. Reizoko Cj permission is awesome.
12/6: Gave it a random run on mirror and got a surprising improvement. Most of the non-perfects were from the first quarter or so of the file, haha.

Final Round: Heterochromia Iridis (39-4-9-10)
Hahahahahahahahaha no.

   For Division 5, Round 3, I believe megamon88 got (6-0-0-4) as the cutoff as opposed to (6).
