Songs of the Week (June 1st/11th, 2012)
A lot has been happening in the last few weeks, but first a big SORRY for the late news post about the latest song release. I’m still waiting on something behind the scenes to happen so I can open up registrations for the 7th Official Tournament, but I am confident that will be resolved a.s.a.p. so please hang in there guys >_<
So, this is gonna be short and to the point, but here goes…

Car Sax is available to non-Veteran users this week, and a big congrats to Sticklydude & T-Force for getting their first (of hopefully many) charts into the game!! So put some words down with your opinions on this weeks release in this weeks thread.
On a side-note, you may notice we’ve started using the new terms/difficulty system on the front page. If you aren’t sure how this all works, take a look at the new difficulties sticky in the difficulty subforum. Also keep your eyes peeled for the 7th Official Tournament registrations~
~nois-or-e and the FFR Staff
Hang in there~
Apologies for the delay on SotW, rest assured we have the songs ready and waiting in-game. Tournament Registrations will open for the 7th Official tournament within the next 24hrs. Just waiting on a few little details on each to make the full announcements.
Thanks for your patience guys!
(and before it is mentioned, yes this update is going to touch on last weeks release that was missed due to difficulty system changes/work)
New Difficulty System Update~
Sup guys, just giving you the heads-up. I’ll be messing with the difficulties over the next day or so, so if you start to see some random errors or songs with horribly odd difficulty numbers, just try to ignore it for the meantime. There are some engine changes being made, and almost every file in-game is going to be re-ordered within its genre in the engine, as well as having a new difficulty assigned to it. This is a massive task with there being approx. 1300~ songs on FFR. So I am asking you all to be patient, and wait to see how it all turns out in a few days.
Thanks in advance everyone!!
Songs of the Week (May 26th, 2012)
We have 5 new songs this week as usual, 4 regular songs and 1 secret & veteran’s song.
Daybreak is a relatively high-speed trance song by a new song artist -RYO-, stepped by Silvuh. Kirlian Changes is The Flashbulb‘s soothing song, stepped by Choofers. Phalanx is a short noisy touch 8-bit song created by Sabrepulse, relatively touch steps are by ninjaKIWI. Old FFR members may remember, Super Signal Force was used as background music in the result screen of FFR R2. This song is by ZeroFuser, steps are by DossarLX ODI. Pitch Black (FFR Edit) is a solid DnB song by championanwar, a hard chart with 1337 notes is by hi19hi19. It’s released as a veteran’s song of this week, also requires 17,000 credits to play.

New Difficulty System Name Suggestions.
Hi there~
As some people may be aware, there has been a new difficulty system developing in the background and it should (hopefully) be in place as early as mid next week! One of the less important challenges has been creating titles for each difficulty while maintaining unique acronyms for each.
What I would like to do is take suggestions from players regarding the final names of these difficulties. So head on over to the thread and let me know what you’d like to see changed/kept, thoughts both ways are important. Be sure to read the first post, as I will be disregarding suggestions that do not follow suit.
You can locate the thread here in the difficulty subforum. Thanks for your time, and keep banging those keys!!
Songs of the Week (May 18, 2012)
Hello again arrow smashers!! Another new week, and another new handful of new songs for your rhythm gaming needs~
Straight out of the gates we have a low Challenging chart from Veteran step-artist bmah in the form of New Windy Paradise by BELUGA. This short New Age track with its flowing steps and funky melodies is a pleasant addition to bmahs 60+ charts already in game.
Video Out B is our second song for this week and also a brand new skill token. To unlock who_cares973 rendition of this Vospi track from his ‘Video Out __’ series, simply pass its namesake Video Out A with a ‘B’ Grade. One can only speculate when someone will come along and step Video out C & D 
Doormouse is third up with a crazy mash-up of multi-’core’ goodness from his 2002 album Freaked out mess. The song is Face in the Gutter and is stepped by one of our pro keymashers AlexDest. This will see Doormouse’s 2nd song and Alex’s 4th chart on FFR, hopefully with many more to come from both parties.
Another contender for a skill token this week was this V2 stepped by trumaestro. Trisection V2 is a much needed re-stepping of the classic easy FFR chart that has graced many peoples AAA counts since 2007, but be warned: this is no walk in the park. This classic Rock song is going to test many players with its constant jump jacks and fast paced guitar solos. This isn’t a Skill Token, but it will cost you 3250 credits to purchase at the FFR Shop.
Wrapping up this weeks releases is our Veteran song Banned Forever, a mini marathon stepped by kjwkjw. This fun filled Renard track clocks in at just under 4 minutes and most definitely takes you on a journey with just over 2000 notes of keyboard smacking fun. Like all veteran songs, this song will be publicly available in one week for non Veterans to play.
[May 18th Released Songs]
New Windy Paradise by BELUGA (bmah) – Dance (New Age Acoustic) / Challenging / 2:18
Video Out B by Vospi (who_cares973) –Skill Token (Acid Drum’n Bass) / Challenging / 1:42

Trisection V2 by Glome & Hiroshi Sakimoto (trumaestro) – Purchased [3,250 credits] (Hard Rock) / For Masters Only / 2:29
Banned Forever by Renard (kjwkjw) – Misc (Breakcore) / For Masters Only / 3:36
Last weeks Veteran song is now public:
Faint Breath by TC_Halogen (TC_Halogen) – Dance 2 (Trance) / For Masters Only / 2:50
Drop in to the thread to let everyone know what you think. On that note, enjoy your week and I shall bring forth more details of the upcoming Difficulty system changes and Official Tournament registrations later on in the week.

Songs of the Week (May 11, 2012)
Five new simfiles for you this week:
First on the line is a v2 for one of FFR’s oldest files. Though Arch0wl‘s original chart for Flight of the Bumblebee has been in the game since 2003, the file has started to… show its age. Thankfully, today experienced stepper Silvuh brings us a much more musically accurate (and noticeably easier) new chart to this iconic song that can be yours for just 1,100 credits.
Next up is the amusingly named UMAD? by xKore, stepped by MarioNintendo. The song’s wide variety of rhythms give lots of possibilities for stepping, and the entire package adds up to be a short but Challenging file indeed.
Our third offering is another short song, joining our first two releases at just a touch over a minute. This song comes from songstowearpantsto, a site that features musician Andrew Huang creating short tunes based on user-submitted requests. The song “Coffin” showcased in today’s release was spawned from the prompt, “Your hip-hop skills are crazy!! Make a crazy beat that shows everyone how sick you are!!!” and well, you have to play the file to see just how that turned out! Credits to YOSHl for this Very Challenging chart, and congratulations to him for his first file in FFR.
Next up is a file that bucks the previous trend of short files soundly- clocking in at 4:29 long, Plasmatextor by Virt has been stepped by someone who is no stranger to chiptunes. With well-known files like Staring at my Spaceship and Mathsma Attack to his name, anyone who can take the heat of a For Masters Only file will definitely want to check out Kommisar‘s latest chart.
Finally, we have Faint Breath by TC_Halogen, with steps by… TC_Halogen. Though this is Halogen’s 11th file in the game, this marks the first time one of his songs has been added. Be sure to give a hand to our new FFR Music Producer, and if you are a Veteran, check out his For Masters Only-rated file while you’re at it! Those who are not Veterans will have to wait one week for this file to be public.
[May 11 Released Songs]
Flight of the Bumblebee v2 by Rimsky Korsakov (Silvuh) – Purchased [1,100 Credits] (Classical Orchestral) / Difficult / 1:13
UMAD? by xKore (MarioNintendo) – Dance 2 (Drum’n Bass) / Challenging / 1:17
Coffin by Girl (YOSHl) – Misc (Experimental) / Very Challenging / 1:14
Plasmatextor by Virt (Kommisar) – Arcade (Chiptune) / For Masters Only / 4:29
Faint Breath by TC_Halogen (TC_Halogen) – Dance 2 (Trance) / For Masters Only / 2:50
Additionally, last week’s Veteran release is now public:
Pokamen Party by Azrael Vs Renard (megamon88) – Secret [24,000 credits] (Breakcore) / For Masters Only / 2:09
If you have an opinion on these releases, drop a post in this thread to let the forums know.
That’s it for this update. Enjoy your arrow smashing!

Songs of the Week (May 4th, 2012)
Apologies for the late front page article on this weeks song release.
Our other article writer was going to be a day late and my first two detailed write-ups were ruined by untimely string of laptop derp that successfully
killed my progress twice in a row, so I’ll keep this short.
But enough about that, let’s get to this weeks songs!
Once again, 4 new releases and a Vet song. A veritable mixed bag of genres starting with a timid dance track from Caine1989 stepped by Elite Ninja & a short but challenging Yust song from a new member of FFRs ever-growing team of step-artists rushyrulz. Then we have 2 of our more seasoned steppers, who_cares973 brings us an endurance draining An Endless Sporadic Instrumental Rock chart, and & hi19hi19 a trill-tastic classical string piece executed by Ngwang Samphel (a.k.a. Winterwind-NS). This leaves us with none other than megamon88 and his Azrael Vs Renard Breakcore battle to wrap things up for the week.
[May 4th Released Songs]
Electric Obsession by Caine1989 (Elite Ninja) – Dance (Techno Pop) / Tricky / 1:52
{Evolution} Out Stage by Yust (rushyrulz) –Arcade (Techno) / Challenging / 1:32
Impulse by An Endless Sporadic (who_cares973) – Rock (Instrumental Rock) / Very Challenging / 4:12
Caprice for Violin in B minor Theme and Variations by Ngwang Samphel (hi19hi19) – Classical (Violin Solo) / For Masters Only / 3:37
Pokamen Party by Azrael Vs Renard (megamon88) – Secret [24,000 credits] (Breakcore) / For Masters Only / 2:09
Last weeks Veteran song is now public:
Chaosmaid by Paraoka feat. Iku Acme (Kommisar) – Purchased [2250 credits] (Speedy Electro) / For Masters Only / 1:53
If you want to comment on these files, leave a post in this thread. We’re always itching to hear what you’ve got to say on them.
Once again, apologies for the late front page post, but stay tuned for a special announcement over the weekend regarding an upcoming event!!
