Sunlight comes a month early, in Making April – #56 and special

Posted in Flash Flash Revolution, Tokens on July 22nd, 2007

{Sunlight} is today’s 1st skill token release. A light mix by cornandbeans, I’m pretty sure it is from some pop/rock song that I’ve heard, but I can’t place which. Stepfile is MeaCulpa‘s first, and I like it. Mixes 8ths with 12ths with 16ths and a few 24th bursts. Good job at keeping an almost 4 minute long song interesting and not repetitive. The unlock for this is something that a LOT of people have brought up to me as a good token req (and one I’ve had in mind since before skill tokens existed). You may say this is an anti-skill token, but I beg to differ. This is not a skill or an anti-skill token. It is a straight MASH token. It is a skill-less token. Get 1200+ boos on Silence while still passing to unlock. I recommend the quadmash, although the alternating double mash works best if your keyboard can’t register more than 2 keys at a time. Shouldn’t be that hard to get 1400+, IMO. I’ve done it a few times myself.

In other news, I’m sure you ALL have checked out Making April’s new snazzy custom Embedded FFR Player on their myspace. And I know you guys have been anxious to play these files on FFR as well. Well, starting today, you can. There are a total of 6 files of Making April’s that will be released over the next 3 days (3 versions of Driveway, 2 of Roses and Butterflies, and 1 of Jump In). Today we’ll release the Standard version of Driveway, stepfile by SulferDragon and later today we’ll release the Heavy version of Roses and Butterflies, stepfile by Neonatrias. All 6 will be found in Rock.

Check back later today for the 2nd of today’s releases. And consider the Making April releases as my apology for not getting Planetz and Love Cheat! out yesterday.

EDIT: I’d like to make it known that while I feel that {Sunlight} does in fact sound similar to some song that I can’t place, I have been informed by cornandbeans that it is quite original and not a mix of anything.

  1. yay

  2. haha a masher, this should be fun

  3. That anti-skill token sounds do-able for me. Silence is my worst rank’d song afterall.

  4. 4th, ^_^

  5. Awe darn, 26 boos short my first try.

  6. quadramash!!

  7. im like a mash master seriously O_O

  8. COOL

  9. Rofl, I love this token requirement.

  10. whoops. forgot to make the 2 making april songs public. fixing.

  11. Omg, I keep getting about 40 short… This is ridiculous.

  12. same lol 1185 >_

  13. 1183 boos:( so close, lol i got a 1202 combo.

  14. Omg.. 1,190.. -dies- lol

  15. 1201 boos=]

  16. OMFG i accidently booed out of it 5 seconds from the end with more then enough boos to actually do it grrr

  17. 1188 >_

  18. it cut off my msg …

  19. i think its the face
    1188 this is hard actually

  20. lemme try something >_

  21. yep
    you dont see what else i typed LOL

  22. This is lumpho’s token.

  23. Dang, 4 of my scores…

    Boos – 1181, 1193, 1189, 1193

    So hard to get those last ten boos. >_

  24. woo got it! basically gotta fc to get it lol

  25. ranked 3rd on sunlight

    pretty easy file i got 15 goods
    im sure i can get SDG but pretty good for my first run

  26. Feels so cheap though.. Silence is no longer my worst ranked song because of this skill token, that aint right.

  27. Got it with 1222 boos, pretty easy actually. Took me a few tries, got so close almost every time. :P

  28. 1179 boos. :(

  29. Dang!!!! I was doing so good on Sunlight and my cat walked on my laptop, now I can’t even get all the arrows. :(

  30. Honostly, this req is the worst one yet. it takes no “skill” what so ever to get boos, therefore this shouldnt be called a “skill token”. Id much rather this be AAA silence, something id never be able to do, over getting boos because AAA silence takes “skill”. Boos dont, IMO

  31. sunlight was an easy requirement IMO so im not complaining =]

  32. Got it! 1219!

  33. I geuss I musnt be much of a masher at heart. I try to be skilled, no anti skilled.

  34. MrMagic5239, it does take skill. You have to get enough perfects to not lose while mashing to receiving boos while playing the song.

  35. We need one like this on EHHS. lol

  36. i cant wait to get my music on ffr

  37. w00t! … mashing skill! \m/

  38. Damn…got 1161 boos twice in a row…I’ll try again. V_V

  39. Im done trying on this, its worse then Starman, and we all know what a disaster that was. I cant beleave I spent 4 hours getting starman for an easy FC/SDG

  40. man i made 1195 boos twice with 800 combos lol

  41. I Give up. This is a Waste of time.

  42. I suck at getting boos. This is impossible…

  43. haha 1201 for me finally

  44. I just wasted my time getting this, I feel awful

  45. man i keep getting between 1160-1180 boo’s -_-” in other NEWS! who knew i was good in B SMASH!! w00t w00t.. NO COMMENT>……….. VOTE FOR ME!(^_^),v,,

  46. *arms falls off* D: I can’t get it..-_- I can’t mash for life.

  47. …I can’t do this. My arm hurts halfway through the song. Can we have a token that doesn’t require immunity to RSI…?

  48. Oh, and that screaching “IIII AM FREEEEE” drives me insane as my arm is about to fall off…I swear I want to punch the computer out…gaahh…

  49. DAM!@!@!@!@ 1116 BOOS

  50. Making April is going to flood and ruin the rock genre.

    What the fu**.

  51. Damn…got the 1200 boos but the score didn’t record. =( Oh well…it was fun getting it. XD

  52. EnR,

    Thats exactly what I’ve been getting. lol.

  53. My hands arms like heck!

  54. Oops… I meant, my arms hurt like heck.

  55. 1171 boos. Urgh…

  56. Yes! 1223 boos.

  57. Double setup quad mash arrow keys and num pad.

  58. I’ve tried quad mashing with num pad, all that ends up happening is the health bar goes down and down and down until I either stop and hit some arrows or just die. Doing it while hitting some arrows, hovering my health around the middle, I get about 60 boos off of the target 1200.

  59. excellent release the two new songs are really very enjoyable!! i think i can AAA the cornandbeans one thats something new for me

  60. expect the boo req lowered later… i didn’t realize that averages do NOT increase your lifebar anymore. not sure when that happened, but it’s now the case. so, that makes this much harder than i wanted it to be. In the old days, you could get 1400+ easily. Now, that’s impossible. I got 1214 1st try though.

    Will be lowered to 1100 later.

  61. i got 1155 EXACTLY 3 TIMES IN A ROW
    WTF?

  62. Oh, phew, thanks. *gives tass cookie* :)

  63. why so many different versions of one making april song, thats a lot.

  64. holy mashing masharoony
    that was hard o.0

    i got 1201 boos ^.^

  65. i got 1258 boos and sunlight was very fun 12 goods and a miss for some reason on first run, also great token for it

  66. My wrists hurt, I’ve been off by 30-50 5 times now :\

  67. 851 boos >_> wtf, mashing is retarded..L2play.

  68. haha but i got 1201

    i thought it was a perfect requirement, i know two other people that got 1201 hahaha

    double key mashing is the way to go

  69. 940 boos… first try.

  70. every time i load the song ”silence” the screen freezes so i cant play the song at all(well for the time being)well guess i have to wait a while to play this 1

  71. tass not trying to be rude but thats bullshit i got 1116 boos when i needed 1200 now you lower it and i cant even get 1000 ….and im guessin u cant just give it to me since i rightfully got the 1100 …what ever ill get it sum other time but this is still bull

  72. Yeah Now i can’t even pass the F**king song. I’m really pissed off again. Time to take a break.

  73. My best is 1084.

    -Sighs-

    I can’t do it.

    Maybe if it was lowered to 1000?

    /wishful thinking

  74. What is with these strange portmanteaus of song titles?

  75. I can attempt to get it like once..then my arms are dead and I gotta play easier songs for a while until my arms are fine again..lol

    My keyboard doesn’t allow quadmashing eithe, which is strange cause I got a sweet Eclipse 2 3 color changing keyboard >_>

  76. Why did you lower it? I got it before. :(

  77. all i whould do at the end hold down 2 keys

  78. easy with req change. now the second one todays gonna be impossible.

  79. ROFLMFAO!!! HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAH XD I MASHED IT AND GOT A FC WITH 1192 BOOS ROFLMFAO!! OMG HAHHAHA

  80. It’s an original song tass >>: |

  81. oh. then my apologies C&B. i wasn’t sure… sounded so familiar. :)

  82. so fucking gay i mashed it and got the token but my score didnt record so i didnt get the token

  83. Sounds a lot like Speed of Sound by Coldplay.

  84. Dang, I managed to get 1120 boos or so when the requirement was 1200, now I can’t get higher than 1100 :(

  85. FINALLY.

    1135 boos.

    ^-^

  86. Is it still 1200+ req? cause i got the token with 1105 boos, if it’s a glitch feel free to take away my token =P.. but i tried hard so scratch that thought

  87. I gots token :)

  88. Where is our Other token…

  89. 1100+ boos now?

  90. u_u; … stupid smileys, they chopped my message… wel anyway, as I said, now any amateur masher will be able to get this token x( … and btw, where’s the other skill token?! >_>

  91. 1111 boos! Yay I got it :)

  92. Why’d you take it down to 1100 boos? It was way funner at 1200… :(

  93. FFR could give a FUCK about its players in the north east… the excuse “its only 9 here” is really fuckin old man

  94. Got just over 1000 boos.

    My fingers arent moving fast enough. Although I am getting rediculous combos with quadramash :D

  95. AAAARRRGH I keep failing out now >:(

  96. man sk1mNskat3, they have a life outside of ffr. their life doesnt revolve around releasing tokens…

  97. actually, the 2nd token was coded about 3 hours ago. but something is wrong with it. and LD was running out the door as he did it. so he hasn’t been back.

    i love how people are complaining and whatnot. seriously. not to mention, i only moved to PST 2 months ago…. before that, i was EST for 23 years.

  98. 1053, shit. I hate mashing.

  99. Well. I’m tired. Today sucked, Time to go sleep.

  100. Damn boos. I got 1043. :(

  101. can’t seem to get this one. and tass, that is an original song. I’ve been listning to cornandbeans’ stuff for a while, seeing as he is such a NOTEABLE ARTIST.

  102. lolololol

  103. I had to get the 1200 one.

    I don’t think we should of changed it.
    1200 requires more skill.

  104. 1067, I’m getting there.

  105. Fuck yeah, 1157. I got {Sunlight}. I’m going to go play my prize.

  106. I love how people are complaining too. Seriously guys how DARE you complain that people arent doing their jobs.

  107. The requirement is not that easy. I agree with 107, at least tass lowered the requirement for you to get it. If you want to complain about it, get a life or stop saying to change the requirement etc. This token isn’t that hard. Tass said it’s a mashing token so then mash to get it. Newbs will have a hard time gtting this token but who cares.

    Stop complaining, if you don’t like the requirement or want Tass to change it, move on and forget about this skill token and never play it again if you have a problem with it. There are no errors in it so no one should complain.

    Wow, 107′s comment made me type all this shit.

  108. *cough*

  109. got this1 soo soo easy 1st tried i died thoughxD(mashed too fash)second try 1140boos=D

  110. i got it when the requirement was 1200

    just thought id let people know

  111. I’m sad can’t get any of these

  112. 1236 boos first try.

    Hint: This token is very easy if you use AutoHotKey.

    Whats the requirement now?

  114. Ok..*gasp*…just got it…and it feels like my fingers are melting lol

  115. meaculpa: technically, that’s cheating.

  116. tass … how is that cheating … all hot key is doing is taking place of the arrows with other keys … ??

  117. I only got 1103 boos, phew that was close…

  118. Yeah…I don’t see how autohotkey will do much to help cheat. It can help change the arrows to a more comfortable key setting (we should actually have a set of options to change the arrow key buttons in ffr settings…)

  119. double setup -_-;

  120. whats going on with the tokens?

  121. It’s not only double set-up that may be considered cheating, but anyone who has had a little experience using auto-hotkey may know how to use it to cheat. I think remapping your letter keys to spread format is ok, but trust me, there are other methods that is considered cheating which I can not or will not release.

  122. i actually was playing with quad mash trying to see how many boos i could get on other songs before this was posted XD

    i’m glad other people were thinking of it too ^_^

  123. Now that you mention it, using AHK for double-steup would make it a whole lot easier, but that wasn’t what I had in mind. I was thinking the same as pikadill, and I changed my settings to whatever keys were the easiest to mash with.

  124. First off, I’m posting this comment quite some time after the req. was lowered to 1100. I played Silence very recently, within a few hours. Here is a screenshot.

    I obviously got over 1100, but….no Skill Token. =O?

  125. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa60/tidus810/FFRSilence.jpg

    Okay, that should work. Sorry about spam. x_x

  126. arm falling off like hell… OMG I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MASH THAT HIGH OF A COMBO WHEN I CAN’T GET THAT NORMALLY!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

    … 1183 boos… :-( so unfair

  127. If you got over 1100, it’s supposed to give it to you… They lowered the req. from 1200+.

  128. Hm. 1201 Boos. I (very) narrowly passed the old requirement, but passed the new one by quite a bit. Interesting how that works.

    And only after I’d say… 30 consecutive attempts? Gosh, my wrist hurts now.

  129. test
