It’s time for FFR’s weekly update! He'll touch your tra-la-la...
Two weeks’ worth of new files will be covered in this post- I didn’t write anything for last week because ~~I forgot~~ I wanted to make sure the tournament post got as much exposure as possible!

One important note: this is the end of weekly additions for a while, as each round of the soon-to-begin FFR Sixth Official Tournament will bring totally new, unplayed files for the contestants to enjoy… You did sign up, right?

As always, the song highlighted in all blue is a veteran’s song, available to the public in after two weeks. There was no veteran’s song released November 10th, as a skill token was released instead. More on that below:

[November 3 Released Songs]
Dr. Mario. Pt. 1 by Action Adventure World (woker-X) – Hip-Hop (Nerdcore) / Difficult / 0:41
Louder than Thunder by The Devil Wears Prada (qqwref) – Rock (Downtempo Pop) / Easy / 2:38
Tutti Frutti Summer Love by Günther & The Sunshine Girls (bmah) – Dance 2 (Tropical Eurodance) / Challenging / 2:39
Bogey at your Six by Virt (kommisar) – Secret [33,000 credits] (8-bit) / For Masters Only / 3:29

[November 10 Released Songs]
Ding Dong Song [Light] by Günther & The Sunshine Girls (DossarLX_ODI) – Secret [100 credits] (Eurodance) / Standard / 2:05
Another Day by Modulation Spin (bmah) – Dance (Handz Up) / Standard / 2:33
Luna Ascension by flashygoodness (Reshiram) – Arcade (Melodic Chiptune) / Very Difficult / 0:48
Immigraniada by Gogol Bordello (t-rogdor & Detrimentalist) – Rock (Gypsy Punkstep) / Challenging / 2:22

The Veterans songs from two weeks ago are now publicly available:
No Purpose Flour by SessileNomad (iironiic) – Dance 2 (Drum’n Bass) / For Masters Only / 2:50
Prism by DJ Kuhu (Xayphon) – Classical (Piano Solo) / Very Challenging / 1:29

In addition to all of these new songs, there’s also been a skill token added!
(this is a a temporary token graphic, will be updated.)

Compared to many of FFR’s skill tokens this one is not particularly hard to unlock, and the reward is excellent:

[November 10 Released Skill Token]
Ding Dong Song [Standard] by Günther & The Sunshine Girls (bmah) – Skill Token (Eurodance) / Very Difficult / 2:05
Requirement: Pass Ding Dong Song [Light] with 10 or less misses and 10 or less boos.

The Standard version adds some tricky trills, jumps, hands, and a nasty surprise roll at the end for those looking for a definite step up in difficulty from the Light chart. At the moment this skill token image is a bit ordinary, but perhaps an enterprising FFRtist will contribute a nicer looking image… maybe that person is you?

If you are looking to give us some feedback on these new additions, you can find the thread for the November 3rd additions here and the thread for the November 10th additions here.

As a final bit of news, the chart for the old standby song Burnout has been moved to the Legacy genre.

In addition to all of these song additions, there’s some other fantastic news to share!
The sign-ups for the Official Tournament have reach over 500. And to go with all that competition, some exciting new prizes have been added to the prize pool:
Longtime FFR user zajac, from Low Pass Records, has decided to donate free downloads of the LPR001 LP to the top 5 in each division! You can check out the specifics of this awesome deal in this post.
If you’d like to give a big thank you for this prize donation, go and like them on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/LowPassRecords

And, in case you missed it, the tournament has received a sexy facelift in the form of a new animated banner from Darkshark!
Here it is again- and clicking it will link you to the official thread, just in case you STILL haven’t signed up… you know you want to!

A note about this post itself: your suggestions have not gone unnoticed! I added links to each artist and simfile author, and learned how to add some pictures too. It’s starting to just look like a mess of hyperlinks at this point, but I guess that’s what people wanted.
In the interest of keeping this double update slightly shorter I chose not to write about each of the new songs/files individually, but I may do that in the future. Though this post took me over three hours to write even without any of that, so no promises.
Overall this is quite a big newspost, because there’s lots of news! So many things happening here at FFR these days.

That’s it for this update. Enjoy your arrow smashing!
