Song of the Week 2: Summer -Speedy Mix-

Posted in Flash Flash Revolution on January 15th, 2007

Well, it’s time to release our second Song of the Week…today’s song is a song many of you will know from its inclusion in “In the Groove 2″: Summer -Speedy Mix- by Smiley, one of many aliases of Kyle Ward. Steps are by everyone’s favorite FFR file artist and new MP mod Rebirth0, and are a great complement to the song, which is incredibly upbeat and happy-sounding. Difficulty is 4.5, song is 186 BPM and has quite a few 16ths, although it’s not quite as 8th-jack-intensive as Be Princess.

However…there’s a catch. See, a few days ago we reset all of the credit totals to match grandtotals, so we decided that it would be perfectly evil to release another song into the Secret section today. So yes, you’ll need…let’s see…25,000 credits on hand to play Summer.

Have fun with the new song if you’ve managed to accumulate that many credits…and play more if you haven’t ;) Remember, we’re eventually going to have Secret songs up to 100,000 credits, so keep on playing if you want to have everything unlocked.

Happy FFR’ing,

Shash

  18. D:
    That sucks.
    Gives me more reasons to play FFR! WHOOO!!

  19. DAMN.
    Um…
    No summer for me, I guess.
    *emotear*

  20. looks like I need another 15000 credits. I’d best get to work on that…

  21. Great. Now instead of needing ~4000 credits to reach the last secret song, I need ~9000 instead. At the rate I gain credits, I won’t be seeing this new song any time soon. :(

  22. this verison sucks

  23. Shash, how many credits do you have?

  24. –;;;;

    Crap.

    Seriously I have 24999, itll take forever to unlock this song :)

  28. omg 25,000!?!? only 18000 to go =(

  29. i thnk slash has beecome a hadend bastard from all these retards who want to cheat for thier credits, if people acutllay were honest about thier playing like al of us, we wouldent ahve to work our asses off to play the new song grrrrr…. >:(

  30. r u effin kiddin me?

  31. how are we suppose to get that many credits?
    I play FFR every day, and i only have 8500
    credits. Is there an easier way of getting
    credits other than playing FFR 24/7?

  32. LOL

    I got 24,193 credits…so close..

    I’m gonna whore Pants tonight and get like 3 mil everytime and get lotsa credits since we have a new max credit count…I should have 25k credits in no time!

    I can’t wait to play it, Rebirth0 is the best stepfile artist I know, should be REAL good!!

    Thanks Sash…but plz wait a month or so before releasing another secret song..I wanna get 30k before another one is released XP

  33. damn it…I can’t play my favorite simfile on ffr.

  34. darn, that means third page. that means needing the actual 25k. :(

  35. That’s sad. Now I need… 16k credits.

  36. awsome. howd you guys pull off summer?

  37. I talked to Kyle Ward myself, and got permission for every single one of his songs.

    Guys, Shash isn’t being an ass by making more secret songs. We’ve been planning this for a long time. We’re planning on adding at least another 11 secret songs, requiring 30,000 – 100,000 credits to play.

  38. WOW 25000 credits, i only have one thousand… this is totally insane…

  39. My credits weren’t effected, what happened?

  40. wow u guys suck… makin us have dat many credits 4 a song ..get a life
    we’re not gona be playin this game all day every day its gona take me like a year 2 get dat many ..losers..

  41. Everyone’s favorite stepfile artist? ….rebirth’s my second least favorite, only hyrogashi’s worse.

    Having said that, this stepfile was actually pretty good. I enjoyed the play (even though I didn’t finish the level).

  42. cool i have 15 000 credit so i still need 10k lolll for a song mouhahahha crazy

  43. Guys chill, there’s PLENTY of other songs to play, and having all these secret songs is a nice way to reward those who take their time to play the game. It’s really not that hard to get 25k credits. Plus, unless a glitch is fixed, that’s all the credit’s that you’ll need to play all the songs on that page!

  44. omg, i just gave away 3000 credits yesterday, now im down either 4000, or 5000 from this song, omg omg omg omg, suicide

  45. what i don’t get is why make such an easy song for 25 thousand credits. by the time people have 25000 you would think they had to be more skilled. i was hoping it would be way harder. but its not a bad file its good just i was hoping for a wee bit more difficult.

  46. ….dude no fair i had 35k credits and now im down to 15k…

  47. The news item itself admits that this action was “perfectly evil”, so I’m pretty sure this was done intentionally to annoy people, especially those who lost credits in the adjustment.

    As for the ease of getting credits, that depends on how good you are. If I focus on my higher scoring songs, I can probably get 10-15 credits on an average game. So I need about 800 games or so in order to reach 25k credits. That’s not what I would call “really not that hard”. Anyone who has an easy time getting credits is free to send their unneeded extra credits my way. :P

  48. Ha ha … all I can say is that your logic sucks Dronak.

  49. No, it works. I was trying to keep the post short by omitting some details/steps. Right now, I have about 17000 credits now. To reach 25000, I need 25000-17000 = 8000 more. If I get 10 credits/game, 8000 credits / 10 credits/game = 800 games. The actual result may be a bit lower (higher) if I average a bit more (less), but as an estimate, 800 games should be about right. As for the final sentence, that emoticon was supposed to be sticking out its tongue; it looks like it’s smiling though.

  50. I can get about 40 credits per game, but I’ll still never have enough time to get 25k credits (stupid college)… I love this song, too! No fair! >O

  51. Lol, 40 Credits per game. The max is 25….

  52. The max was raised to 40.

  53. Um … lol. Dronak, I was talking about what you said. “The news item itself admits that this action was “perfectly evil”, so I’m pretty sure this was done intentionally to annoy people, especially those who lost credits in the adjustment.”

    It just sounds like you’re pissed because you don’t have near the amount of credits it takes so you’re ragging on the staff.

  54. how the hell does anybody expect us to accumulate 100,000 credits? even when we had the credit jack, secret songs weren’t that much.
    is that a cheap bid for us to play more? how unmotivating when you think about it..

  55. need 4120 more =)

  56. I’m a little confused. I’m #1206, which puts me in the top .12% of the community, and I bought all the songs, leaving only

  57. 6996 credits. Does that mean that this song is only for the top .05% of all FFRers? Or did I not get credits for grand-total adjustment for songs played before credits were introduced, or back in the days when everything was in circles?
    Still, love the site, keep adding new songs

  58. I was originally responding to Rebirth0 who said in #37 that “Shash isn’t being an ass”. I quoted the original post about this action being “perfectly evil” to show that the this was done intentionally, knowing it would piss people off. Therefore, I believe Rebirth0′s statement is incorrect.

    Yes, I am a bit upset at losing credits that were given to me. I think it’s reasonable to be upset when something’s taken away from you against your will. And in this case, someone else’s generosity is being punished, which doesn’t seem right to me. However, I was not “ragging on the staff”. I was simply providing a counterpoint to Rebirth0′s post.

  59. lolllll I got 10k credits in like 2 weeks.

  60. ugghh. i can only get about 1200 credits a day. that means only 11000 credits to go and about 9/10 days to go.
    this song better be ausome.

  61. Ok, think of it this way. If you can’t get the credits for these songs, wait for 3rd Style. When 3rd style comes, most likely EVERYBODY’s credits will be completely wiped. That means something will have to be done to the secret songs, and they’ll probably make those able to be played by everyone just like the songs in all of the other genres (excluding Purchased).

    If that’s what’s going to happen, the people that didn’t get to play these songs now, will have more brand new songs to play for themselves when 3rd style comes out.

  62. Also, I knew that this song was going up and would require 25,000 credits to play BEFORE all of the credits were removed from everyone. I had no idea that would happen. Maybe Shash did, but I didn’t.

  63. Wow … try to read a little better Dronak, and don’t take things so literally.

    He’s saying “perfectly evil” in a playful way, not to piss people off.

    The fact that it DID piss people off has nothing to do with Shash supposedly trying to be an a**.

    And yeah, now that I think about it … probably the top .05% or less are the only ones who can play this song … my bro’s about 1000 rank, and he only has somewhat over 5000 credits … haha.

  64. this seems to be turning into the attack dronak post. i think you over thought your reply dronak, just relax, play the game. no whining, no math. and if you can only get 10 credits a song your not really good enough to play this song anyways so just chill out. lets leave the replies now to be talking about the song and not dronaks reply eh. im sure to get criticism on this.

  65. why does the credit count always go up by 5 thousand in the newer songs. why not more/less?

  66. One day, ONE DAY, there will be a blog post with no whining in it, and it will be glorious, as for the song of the week, if you dont have it yet, pretend it didnt come out yet.

  67. Yeah, you’re going to get criticism TK Breed. Thank you. =)

    And blindreper, it goes up by 5 thousand because that’s a nice even number. If they made it less, like 2500, then the pros who actually get a lot of points would get bored of the Secret songs way too fast.

    Also, yeah … if you can only get 10 points a game, then you might as well disregard this announcement as you’re not going to get 25,000 anytime soon. I average 15 per game, and sometimes I average 20-25 points, and there’s those super long songs that I get 30-40 points. Even with so many points, it’s still nowhere near enough … hah.

  68. fuk this,i dont hav enough cas of the gay ass new thing,and y the hell would they raise it up to 100k for a fukin secret song,even when i had 8 mil it wasnt that much

  69. Rebirth, sorry friend, but don’t even bother mentioning 3rd style to us. We’ve been waiting even BEFORE last summer for it. It’s not even worth bugging about anymore, so try providing us with a little extra advice than “wait for R3,” okay? and we’ve been told to stop bugging about 3rd style anyway.

    cheers water_ice! we agree! and mrclean, like usual, is being a little suck up. whooooooo!

  70. Like I’ve said before. The whole idea of “working” for something should NOT be implied for ffr. I don’t like it in ddr at all. I’d rather have cheat codes and get all the songs right away so I can play everything and actually have fun. I don’t want to have to work for my songs. Ridiculous.

    Ffr is not about work. If it is, then why don’t we make it so that it takes 500 hours to get one song, hm? Oh, and make all the songs boring stepfiles and EVERY SONG is a secret song except one song which is super easy and boring. Perfect way to make everything a work-a-holic game.

  71. neverland shut up, you’ve done nothing but bitch about ffr.

  72. lets see… 185+ songs in FFR… about 15 of them require even 1000 credits to play. that leaves 170 songs that require 1000 or less to play (minus purchased, so 158). STILL, that is ~160 songs you can access with ONLY 1000 credits. you can get that easily with 10 credits per song in 100 songs. figure 2 minutes per song… 200 minutes. which is 3 1/3 hours.

    THREE AND 1/3 HOURS AND YOU CAN ACCESS 160/185 SONGS. Heaven forbid you actually get rewarded for playing the game by having those other 25 songs take TIME and EFFORT to access.

    So you know… only 300 people have 25k credits. As of now, only 21 have 100k credits.

    We purposely released this song right after we took away the credits.
    1. we wanted to get to the 3rd page of secret
    2. we wanted to REWARD those 300 people who legit have 25k+ credits
    3. we wanted to punish those who HAD 25k+ credits but no longer do because either they cheated to get them or were given them by people who cheated

    I hope that makes sense.

  73. Thanks Tass.

    I didn’t know the song statistics, so I couldn’t bring that argument up convincingly. You can play so many songs for free, without even having to register, and still people complain.

  74. exactly, your punishing us all becasue there are dumb cheaters out there, now i have been playing ffr for 6 months i have bought every song and i think i have played every secret song. if it added up all my credits id prolly ahve around 15000?? i just find it very frustrating when they want to segregate the community into the normal people and the people who play alot.

  75. The FFR Staff isn’t punishing anyone.

    They’re rewarding those who have shown that they have the capabilities of being dedicated.

    If you’re going to complain about a reward for those who are dedicated, then you might as well complain about people who get attention because they’re good at any number of things. You might as well complain about the Olympics. “Omg, I can’t believe they’re on TV and I’m not. I mean, just because they’re so much better than I am and they’ve trained more than I have doesn’t mean they should be on TV while I’m not.”

  76. Only 300 users have 25K? Wow, that seems like a low number, even with the credit strip. Maybe I should actually finish the song, I’d probably be like rank 14 instantly. ^_^

  77. fuck, forget t i cant even play mp anymore cuz my comp being homo

  78. yes i agree. but the ffr staff is taunting us to play more by seting the bar very high, i think. you spend thousands of hours doing a sport, you get to go to the olympics and be on tv, good for you. you spend thousands of hours accumilating credits, you get to play secret songs. now that comaprison sounds to me like that person should be spending thier time doing something more productive than trying to get a secret song on ffr. my point is, im an average player, id like to play all the songs without wasting my life away.

  79. If you don’t want to “waste” your life away, then don’t pay attention to the announcements that pertain to Secret songs.

    Like you said, if you’re an average player, you’re not going to get enough points to have 25k, so just don’t worry about it. It’s ONE song. Calm down, and go play the other 150+ songs out there.

  80. Glad some people are being reasonable.

  81. Well… i have 1000 credits now… ugh i am never going to play some of them songs :(

  82. This is just one song guys. 90% of the songs that go into FFR go into the other genres anyway.

  83. i have 189715 creds. so much for not having any use for creds if its going to stop at 100000 :(

  84. I bet just about all the secret songs you can find in the simfile db…I found this new one in there I know that…All it takes is some skill to make stepfiles and a place to get the song and you can just make the song on stepmania and play it there…

    Guess I don’t need to play ffr for hours on end to play secret songs.

  85. soooo many whining babies its funny…cant wait to see the reactions for songs that take 75+ thousand credits. maybe skip to like 40 thousand for the next song and then we can read all these “wah wah wah. i wanna play every song every made and dont want to have skill to do it wah wah wah..” replies. =)

  86. well thats kinda unfair to those people that have a life? getting 100k credits at 25 credits max a song… 4000 songs if i’m correct… averaging 6 min for the song, thats 400 hours… thats a little over 2 weeks of straight playing with no sleep, no eating, no moving. idk 100k credits is a little high.

  87. wah wah wah it continues

  88. ok ill stop poking fun of people.

  89. Severely tempted to release nothing but high-credit req secret songs in response to all the dumb whining.

    WAY too many of you are spoiled as all hell. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO PLAY EVERY SONG WE RELEASE. SECRET SONGS ARE A REWARD FOR THOSE WHO SPEND A HELL OF A LOT OF A TIME ON FFR. YOU HAVE OTHER SONGS TO PLAY.

    If you don’t like it, send us a message and we’ll refund you every cent you spent on this game.

    p.s. NO amount of whining is going to change anything in a way that benifits the whiners.

  90. truthfully i agree with the MOD’s and staff on this stop bitching i have played for about 5 months i have almost 20k with A JOB AND SCHOOL so stop giving them sh*t about cause not only am i tired of reading about it and i bet they’re tired of listening to you complain and Shash can you do me a favor if my cred count is correct

  91. yeah, i can’t believe people actually complain about not being able to do one song out of the 150+ others.
    i still have thousands to go. i don’t complain. now i have something to do besides just playing every now and then. unlike some people, this is fun and exciting. having a song i can’t play makes me want to play more. and i think that’s what they are aiming for. i dont know, just guessing.

  92. I don’t mind having to work hard to get some of these songs, only if they were worth it. What is so special about Summer that is worth 25k? I doubt that the 300 that have the credits (me included) won’t have much of a hard time at least FCing this soon. Shouldn’t these songs be a little more challenging to FC and for the elites AAA, like Strangeprogram and Rottel? Whatever that 100k song turns out to be, if it’s a Mario level song (Beginners only) I’m gonna have to kill someone. XP

  93. in responce to blindreper “having a song i can’t play makes me want to play more”

    i have played every song within my limits, i cant find a song i cant do, and im not into fc for aaa songs i dont have the skill, so when a new song somes along id like to play it becasue it “makes me want to play more” and they taunt me with it saying i need to play hundreds of songs i have alredy played, wouldent you want to complain? it looks like all the complaining has done is pissed people off, not even prooving a point.

  94. Tk breed, if anything youre not poking ENOUGH fun at whiners.

  95. so much for this song of the week. ahaha. before the credits were wiped, i woulda been able to play. Now im gonna have to work to get up to that many credits.
    =]

  96. wow i have only 2479 credits so i have a VERY LONG way to go… i can get about 200-300 credits in a 1 hour session of ffr.

  97. I think secret songs aren’t needed to be annouced here.

    It’s like, telling children that you’ll give them candies, and putting them out of reach of them.

  98. yep jim your absolutley correct, if i would have never known about this new secret song i would have never started bitching in the first place

  99. a normal day of a ffr addict.

    ring ring ri-”hello?”
    “dude, you gotta get enuff credits for (Insert song here)IT RAWKS!”

    “ok”

    a week goes by, each day getting more and more credits…

    ring ring ri- “hello?”

    “dood, theres-”

    “I GOT ENOUGH CREDITS FOR THE NEW SONG! YAY!”

    “ya… too bad there’s a new song already. it costs twice as much credits.”

    “GOD F*CKING DAMMIT!” SLAM.

    Ninja_justin

  100. Great… I need WAY more credits as thought…

  101. rofl jimerax

  102. haha, i’m only 95,000 off of 100k.

  103. i want.

  104. Hmm..lot’s of whiners..my FFR scores wouldn’t even record for about 2 or 3 months..my ranked dropped 50 places down to 90 something..I’m 68k credits or so from 100k..and….I’m NOT complaining?! OMG the irony!

  105. jimerax is totally right! it’s making everybody so..crestfallen :C and plus, surprises are always fun…

    i guess this wouldn’t be a surprise, though, to tell mrclean to stop being such a suck up yet again, since it’s never going to get him anywhere except in a one-on-one bitchfest. whoooo. lets see him contribute something to ffr rather than boring stepfiles on resonance and being the ffr vacuum. whee!

  106. Ouch to that …

    But I just went from 3500 credits to 4500 from the time that this announcement was posted … it’s not that hard to get credits guys. Just keep working at it, and you’ll realize how much more worth it it is.

    Think about it like this. I don’t care if you’re an average player or below. If you do anything, it’s nice to be the elite in doing that, right? Well, either be satisfied with being an average player with average credit count, or work hard to become an elite and be able to play the songs that get released. It’s not much of an elite group if it’s easy to get there, right?

  107. I revoke my statement and am sincerely sorry for my last comment. I don’t wish to sink myself to that juvenile level. My apologies.

  108. hey if you didnt like my stepfiles, why dont you post about them in the comment area on the stepfile’s page. And WHY have you taken so much interest in me anyway? I should be allowed to express my opinion too, even if it doesnt coincide with yours.

  109. go to 1 mil needed for a song. :P

  110. So the 70k that my friend loaned me is gone? Oh, goody. Especially since Summer -Speedy Mix- is my FAVORITE SONG EVER. This kind of sucks =/

  111. isnt this board all about people whining about thier credit counts? when did it turn into bashing stepfiles?

  112. sweet, thanks fo that post

  113. 114. YES

  114. xception704, i love you

  115. Only thing is, I believe Stepmania uses a way different engine than FFR does, of course. You’ll have to be careful if you want to get Perfects/Marvelous … the “feel” is different.

  116. Lol I don’t know you mrclean, but sure, I love you too.

    O_o

  117. how much you wanna bet there will still be people whining even after xception’s post? i bet lots. but then since its been brought to my attention that im actually not making fun of whiners enough im gonna do it so more. take that whining babies! lololol. i feel like a child. in regards to something other then credits i think the file is cool. its got a hoppy feeling to it i would say. reminds me of the be princess steps only a little easier. good job rebirth0.

  118. Yeah its easier to get perfects on flashflashrevolution than to get marvelouses on stepmania, however, you can change that in options, just go to judging difficulty. Dont do this if you’re playing stepmania online though, its against the rules.

  119. Oh cool … I haven’t played SM in a while, but I didn’t know that. Thanks mrclean … even though it’s probably better for it to judge harder … it’d probably make my timing better.

  120. Are u serious? 25,000 credits? That means I’ll have to play and FC Victims And Martyrs…….. 471.428571428571428571428571428571428571428571 times! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  121. Glad to be of help, and does Moches “noooooo” kind of screw up the webpage on anyone elses’ comp?

  122. Better start working.

  123. it screws up mine as well.
    and while not crying about things. i raised
    4thousand credits in two days. almost there.

  124. …Summer? SUMMER?! ;__; I heard this song enough trying to pass it on expert in ITG, why must I be tortured here too? D:

  125. I’m gay.

  126. I revoke my last statement as due to my wireless card is acting up redirecting my post on different forums to this place.

  127. Max Forever is a song thats not hard at all and has a lot of steps = easier to get more credits each play. This might help the whiners, in secrets as well.

  128. Admins, this is where having dial up kicks you in the arse. :(

  129. in the future the secret song releases will be in ADDITION TO, as opposed to in place of, one of the SotW choices.

    aka, the next time we release a secret song:

    a. it won’t be announced on the main page
    b. there will still be 2 songs that are free to play
    c. 3 songs will be released that week
    d. so if you have over 30k credits, make sure to check page 3 of secret every week… never know when that next secret song will randomly appear.

  130. even though i liked the secret songs being shown.
    it’s a pretty good idea.
    thanks for the once in a while/every week secret song.
    much appreciated even though i can’t play them yet.

  131. The idea of having the secret song “secret” to the public doesn’t seem very fun at all. I liked the fact that you posted up the name of it, since we can actually expect what it really might be (this one came from ITG, so it’s familiar). I don’t see why this is necessary to completely keep things so private when everyone is getting a kick of knowing it. There are plenty of complainers out there, yet how many actually voiced out? 131 minus some. Okay, there’s like what, 1,000,000 registered members? Leave everything alone, because people should know better than to complain when they should actually be grateful about having 150+ songs already available. Even knowing the secret song’s name is enough to be grateful about; the simfiles are bound to have it in there.
    The thing about knowing what the song is and when it comes out, is the motivation it brings to continue playing FFR. How come there are SO many devoted members still here playing as we speak? Part of the reason is the secret songs. Something in our lives that we have clinged to FFR says, “Hey, don’t you wanna play anymore?” All of the players who get this message get it because they aren’t satisfied with playing FFR; there’s something missing.
    I’ve said plenty. I’m pretty sure no one will read it except the few who are kinda late in this. But, there is a voice out there, saying, “don’t do that, Tass!” I still have 2700 creds after three years. I’m slow. I guess I need some motivation myself.
