6th Official FFR Tournament: Round 4!
6th Official FFR Tournament: Round 4!
Isn’t it amazing? It was not that long ago when thoughts of a new official tournament were just wishful thoughts on our naive little minds. But here we are, closing in on the halfway point of the tournament. Here’s the more amazing fact – in a little over a month, we’ll have decided our winners. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. There’s work to be done.
First off: I’m going to make a formal and public apology for those of you in D4 who got eliminated last round. I didn’t expect that comment in the third round post to get as much attention as it did. It wasn’t ever intended to be rude, it was just there to make the article a bit more readable and fun for those who were still in the tournament. 
With that said, on with the tournament. Cue music.
REMEMBER: All scores for this tournament are recorded automatically. See the tournament dashboard to see how you’re doing in comparison to your opponents!
Division 1: Jumper
For round 4, the Beginner division will be playing Jumper, a really peppy and happy song created by Newgrounds artist, Waterflame. Credit for this new Difficult level chart goes to one of FFR’s simfile judges, Niala. As of right now, the song has a Difficult rating, but some of you might find this to be comparable in difficulty to the last round, if not a bit easier. It’s a swing-heavy chart, featuring lots of staggered and delayed runs.
Musician: Waterflame
Stepartist: Niala
Difficulty: 7
Genre: Happy Tune
Song Length: 1:38
Division 2: Sunless Daybreak [Heavy]
What? Another chart for this? Yeah, that’s right. Sunless Daybreak [Heavy] brings in-house FFR artist megamo–…I mean DJ WongT–…I mean MSXOm—WHAT ARE YOU NAMED? Seriously though, check out this song on megamon88′s newgrounds page, there’s no need to hide your skill as a musician. Division 2 gets slammed this round with a decent difficulty increase, with this harder, more beefed up version of Sunless Daybreak being at the top of the Very Difficult rated songs. Just like the previous chart, this one too, is stepped by our host of this tournament, psychoangel691. Happy keysmashing!
Musician: DJ WongTong
Stepartist: psychoangel691
Difficulty: 8
Genre: Techno
Song Length: 2:21
Division 3: wiinter dream
I do too know how to spell, you shut your mouth.
ANYWAY…
Our Advanced division gets wiinter dream by Yamajet for this round, a Very Challenging rated file charted by bmah. And guess what? I hope you like difficulty spikes again! At least this one isn’t nearly as detrimental to your score as the already infamous jump-jack into triple pattern that elegante has (which I happen to like, thank you very much). However, you will be sharing the same fate as D1 with the introduction of swing-heavy patterns, using staggered streaming and occasional 24th note runs. For those of you in D3 asking for a bit more of a challenge, this is our response to you. Have fun!
Musician: Yamajet
Stepartist: bmah
Difficulty: 10
Genre: Disco
Song Length: 1:52
Division 4: SAMBISTA
Hohohoho, oh boy. For those of you guys who struggled on Finder’s bursts and survived to the next round, SAMBISTA is going to try even harder to push you into the tournament coffin and nail it shut. SAMBISTA, by DOT96 is a higher-end Very Challenging rated file that will really push the comboing skills of D4 to the limit, charted by bmah. Thought that 32nds were the worst thing ever to exist? How about fighting off 48th note bursts, hm? Yeah, you’re doing that here, as well as fighting some other bursts that go into and out of other patterns. Confused? Play the song and you’ll see what I mean – SAMBISTA is nothing short of a technical nightmare. Good luck Expert division, you’re going to need it.
Musician: DOT96
Stepartist: bmah
Difficulty: 10
Genre: Hard Dance
Song Length: 1:43
Division 5: Halcyon [Xi]
Hello there Master division. How does a kick in the face sound?
Oh, you’re not approving of it. Well, I’m sorry to tell you this: deal with it! To make up for the huge AAA count of last round, we’re going to kick it up a big notch. Halcyon [Xi] is a high For Masters Only difficulty file that takes some of your jumpstreaming difficulty of the past round, a little bit of the bursting difficulty two rounds ago, and makes an awesome sounding song that likes to throw anything it possibly can to stop you from getting what you want. A song this great needs an awesome simfile to boot, and who better than bmah, who now has three files this round. Go bmah!
Musician: Xi
Stepartist: bmah
Difficulty: 11
Genre: Hard Renaissance
Song Length: 2:38
Division 6: Mourning the Lost
The competition has finally begun in the Guru division. Why is it notable now? We’re hitting the For Gurus Only difficulty from here on out. Things are getting serious now. Mourning the Lost, by 3 Mile Scream is a file that is oriented to all of the speed players of D6, featuring some dense jumpstreams and constant streaming with somewhat awkward and difficult patterns. To add to the difficulty, Mourning the Lost is a very dynamic rock song, which many different sync changes to keep you on your toes. Credit to the first For Gurus Only difficulty file of the tournament goes to DossarLX ODI.
Musician: 3 Mile Scream
Stepartist: DossarLX ODI
Difficulty: 12
Genre: Speed Screamo
Song Length: 2:55
The divisional battles are slowly shaping up. Rivals are forming. The brawls have just begun.

RIP D6. I’ll be mourning your loss.
Posted at 8:39am on December 7th, 2011
If there’s a token here, I really can’t see it. Greatpost, AJ, and great charts, bmah.
Posted at 9:01am on December 7th, 2011
Edit: those spikes are impossible to pull off that fast with my key setup. DAMN YOU, BMAH!!

i got it this time
AAA in this song for the tourney. i am majorly proud of myself. D1 all day, man!
Posted at 8:35pm on December 8th, 2011
I’m getting legitimately annoyed with how D1 is getting files that, at least to me, are all blending together. Similar bpm and some even stepped the same way in some sections. I already have mindblocks on round 4′s song for no good reason. D:
Posted at 11:12pm on December 8th, 2011

Posted at 2:23am on December 9th, 2011
Welp, I’ll keep practicing, but it’s highly unlikely I’ll be getting fewer than ten goods on Jumper. It’s been fun, tourney.
Posted at 11:26am on December 9th, 2011
d3 is super eeezay =3

*Stares Blankly at post* Grrraaahhhhhhhhh! Must figure it out…..
Posted at 7:51pm on December 11th, 2011
i think d5′s song is absolutely terrible. i’d have more hope whoring d6′s song
Posted at 8:27pm on December 11th, 2011
Well good. If you’re struggling, then it means that the tourney is pushing you to do your best.
Posted at 9:26pm on December 11th, 2011
gg’s d6, i knew i never had a chance at winning but I got to round 4 xD
Posted at 2:45am on December 12th, 2011
Eh, Halcyon is definitely an FGO.
Posted at 9:21am on December 12th, 2011
I agree. In fact, I think after the tourney, its rating will be changed if I recall correctly.
Posted at 12:47am on December 13th, 2011
Sweet. Well, I’m officially calling it quits. Not only am I ranked last (got 18 goods with 1 miss), but my computer is experiencing severe lag, and I have finals to study for. It’s been fun! Good luck to the remaining twelve participants.
