Song of the Week Continues: TGWP Part 3
Continuing with our broken-up release of The Games We Played, Part 3 of it has been released tonight. It’s the longest of all five sections, at nearly four minutes in length. Hope you enjoy part 3 of this colorful series!
Happy FFR’ing,
Song of the Week .. Again: The Games We Played, Part 2
I thought it best that we make this news item its own post so everyone sees it clearly. Especially since its not just a matter of it being the usual 1 Song of the Week.
Thus far we have The Games We Played Part 1 and The Games We Played Part 2. – JasonKey
PART 2 NOW AVAILABLE IN ARCADE AS WELL. Expect parts 3, 4, and 5 later this week. We felt that since all 5 parts were 1 song, they should all be released as part of the same Song of the Week. So enjoy this week…
Cheers,
Tass & 5x the fun.
The Best of the Best: The Active Top FFR Players
Howdy there! Scottish’ here, to present to you something different tonight.
You all have probably seen the thread entitled “Updated FFR Top Players list” in FFR General Talk, which is a thread that allowed people to be ranked depending on skill, not just overall score.
After realizing that the thread was obsolete and disorganized, Jimerax and I, along with others, came up with a new system that is more reliable and will allow us to rank users according to an entirely new system. The process of going through the old thread, looking over all of the ranked players, and re-ranking them according to this system will be long and tedious, so please be patient as we are trying our best to get it done.
The thread can be found here. It is currently being revised and added on to, so expect it to be a little disorganized for now. After everything is put together, you can expect it to be another “Official” ranking system. Onto another issue, the thread is there for you, the users. If you feel like you meet the requirements to make the list, post in the thread asking to be added, dont be shy 
. We want to make the top players known, not hidden. Other than that, I think I covered almost all of it. Feel free to make comments or suggestions in that thread, they are always appreciated.
Toodles,
The Turkey God’s Secret: Kick Your A
As Tass hinted at this past Monday, the Turkey God has unveiled a special secret today–specifically, a new song in the Secret section of FFR, stepped by yours truly. Those of you who have 15,000 credits can now play Kick Your A, an SGX remix of the DDR song “A”. SGX has been graciously letting us use his awesome music from the start, and to him we are thankful–he has more songs on FFR than any other artist. Check out his music at his site here.
Also, note that this isn’t a Song of the Week, and there will still be one out next Monday–don’t worry.
Happy turkey consuming,
Server Upgrade This Afternoon
Site and Server Stable – Still Waiting for an upgraded license that runs a component of FFR Multi-Player
*EDIT SYNTHLIGHT* – We are back from the datacenter with a new raid installed to alleviate some of the pain during our record breaking week. We had almost 1700 people online at the same time earlier today. The new drives have brought our system load down considerably but we are still waiting for that license so that we can update our multiplayer. This may take awhile so please be patient. Until then you can play normal single player and it should work just fine.
Cheers,
Synthlight
FFR Tournament is over!
After eight long weeks of tournament play, the Official 2006 FFR R1 Tournament is finally over. After many tough matches, the winners from each division are:
Expert ($100):
Bahamut-X
Advanced ($80):
Akorn
Beginner ($70):
HansSky
Congratulations to all three of you for victory–PM me with your PayPal address to get your prize money.
Expect another tournament at some point in the coming months…and next time, I promise that signups will last for more than 12 hours.
NOTE:
Also, you might have noticed some minor changes to a few songs in the game recently — some maintenance is being done on some of the songs to improve their sync, and fix noteskin glitches. Nothing fundamental about the songs will change though, don’t worry.
Happy FFR’ing,
Song of the Week: Sensorium
Well, it’s Monday, which means it’s time for another Song of the Week! This week we give you Sensorium, by MerKa. Stepped by Jimerax, it’s a relatively slow song (under 140 BPM), but makes up for this with plenty of 16th stream and jumpstream, so it’s still a challenge. Sensorium can be found on the first page of Dance.
Happy FFR’ing,
In Remembrance of Captain Jack
The song has now been removed from the game.
One year ago today, the Bemani community lost one of its great artists. On October 22nd, 2005, Francisco Gutierrez, better known as Captain Jack, passed away at the age of 43.
There’s no denying that Captain Jack was a very influential part of the DDR music genre, and here at FFR we want to honor that. One year ago, we released his self-titled theme song in the game for a week. In commemoration of all that Captain Jack did for the music world, we will be releasing the song once again, for a few days.
You can find the song in the first slot of the Dance genre, have fun, and remember the great man that Francisco was.
Tak tak tak, never looking back
Come and fight for Captain Jack
Say it slow, but say it loud
Join the peace camp and you will be proud
Cheers,
lightdarkness, and the Flash Flash Revolution staff
Straight to Round 4
EDIT: If you’re using Internet Explorer and having some trouble getting into multiplayer or getting scores recorded–it’s being worked on, please be patient 
Straight to Video, the MSI song that was accounced to be on FFR, has finally arrived! The steps are by Psychozerosk8er, it’s fairly long (3:44), and has a moderate difficulty level. Straight to Video can be found in the Rock section of FFR, and more information on MSI can be found in this news post.
Also (nice how these keep coinciding, eh), the fourth round of the FFR tournament has started–check this thread for details. The fourth round concludes the winners’ bracket for the Expert division, and will produce one finalist who will play the winner of the losers’ bracket.
Happy FFR’ing,
