The Final Four – Beginner Skill Token Month Ends
Awesome! My Internet has managed to stay active long enough to post this before it is officially September for us Eastern Standard Time folks. Perhaps my threats of punches and suggested possible dropkicks to the forehead worked. Not only does September mean Professor K’s birthday is a week away, but it also sadly means Beginner Skill Token Month has come to an end – but not without going out with a bang of four additional skill tokens aside from the two I just mentioned. Now, sure, you wiseguys and wisegals have already checked out our handy, dandy skill token list, but just bare with me for the sake of fanfare:
Stepping up to bat first is RaustBlackDragon who hits a double with two skill token songs. Soul Shift on page one of dance holds the key to unlocking Ride of the Black Rider – pass Soul Shift with a combined total of 170 perfects and goods and this majestic song will be yours. The step file for Ride of the Black Rider comes at you courtesy of SulferDragon, who dishes out a difficulty of 4, which will be the highest-rated song out of these four. A second RaustBlackDragon song can be yours by passing the rock song For Who I Am with less than 40 misses. Doing so unlocks Strategem, an onimous and powerful tune stepped by CoolBoyRulez0 for a difficulty level of 2.
If you have a hot whip and you want to drive, then tackling this token shouldn’t be too hard, and with success comes the ambient/chill tune Sine Reality II by Sanxion7. Sanxion7 provides more material for FFR, with a difficulty level 3 file created by blahblahblahblahblahblah (I really, really hope that is the correct number of blahs). Unlocking Sine Reality II requires you, the player, to pass the hip-hop song Freak Out with at least 143 perfects. And last but not least comes the high energy song We Interrupt This Program (AG Flash) by Aerogroove. Mr. Zombie has pieced together a level 2 difficulty, which can be yours just by passing the dance genre song Falling Into You with less than 60 boos (shipping and handling free, no C.O.D.s).
Now you just have to wonder … What “x” month will September be? Will it be Cheesecake Token Month? Wallaby Tossing Month? I do believe September is National Chicken Month. Will there be an FFR Chicken Month? Only time will tell …
New Songs of the Week, New Skill Tokens
Greetings everyone, it’s Professor K stepping in to provide you with news of brand new songs for you to enjoy in Flash Flash Revolution.
First off, if you are a subscriber, None Would Escape by Norsac is now being delivered to your front door. The step file provided to us by Brilliant Dynamite Neon adds a beefy new 10-difficulty chart to the game. With driving bass and drum work the song, which clocks in at just short of 2:30, is as intense as the stepfile. As always, subscriber songs are featured in the funk section, but only if you are a subscriber. It wouldn’t be a much of a subscriber song of the week if it weren’t that way, huh? None Would Escape is featured on page two of the genre.
On the other hand, if you aren’t a subscriber, all is not lost as you can still rejoice to a brand, spanking new song of the week. You can look forward to seeing Never Look Back (ha ha ha!) in the funk section. The public song of the week is brought to us by DJ SBX with a step file fresh off of the presses from MeaCulpa. The song runs 2:37 and is rated a 7 in difficulty and has some great build and breakbeats with steps that match the tune very well.
Now I’m going to clue you in on two more songs added today for your enjoyment. To round up August, a good chunk of beginner skill tokens have been implemented. The first two skill tokens feature very uplifting tunes to get you pumped up for a weekend away from school (we all know you’ll be staying up late tonight). Both of these step files come to us from user BEN.(SPEIRS) 7.5 and require good performances on a couple of classic 2nd Style song additions. First up, to unlock Crying Soul by BOUNCE, check out the song This Beat is for the Streets on the first page of the hip-hop section and pass it with a combined total of less than 100 goods and averages. Crying Soul is a 3 difficulty song that features a mix of ambiance, piano work and anthem trance and features some good bouts of 1/8th notes. Boot up the song Computer Dreams in the dance genre and pass it to unlock One More Night (Synthwulf Remix) by none other than Synthwulf. The steps rank in at a difficulty of 4 and feature some yellow note work to accompany the upbeat drumline and vocals.
This Beat is for the Streets and Computer Dreams will throw some 1/8th notes and double key presses at you, but don’t be detoured and you’ll nab the tokens with little effort. Don’t forget – after obtaining a token, you will have to refresh the page for the tokens to appear in the skill token genre.
Stay tuned to Flash Flash Revolution for even more news and content tonight. On a side note, is it possible to punch an Internet Service Provider in the face?
New Multiplayer mods, what?!
Yes. It’s true. Throughout the last few days Windscarredfaith, Tass, Rebirth, Kit- and I have all been monitoring people in MP, and keeping members in mind that would suit the two new MP positions that are now available. After some harsh deciding, we all have come do a unanimous decision on both.
The first Mod that we chose is no one else but the infamous Darkshark. Darkshark has been with the community for awhile now, and we think he suits the position perfectly, despite his gender confusion issues.
Our second new MP Mod is Kat-. Not to be confused with Windscarredfaith (whose name is Kat) or Kit-, Kat- has also been with the community for a long time and is often found chatting it up in multiplayer.
I would like you guys to congratulate them, and treat them with plenty of respect. Great job!
Toodles,
Scottish.
Not to sneak in on Scott’s parade, but I’d also like to congratulate Scottish on being added as an MP Admin for his behind the scenes work in MP modding. And as a reminder, if you see anyone in MP doing something they shouldn’t be doing, please contact one of us via IM, PM, or a message on our profiles. IM is definitely the fastest way though. Just because one of us is not in MP 24/7 does not mean that we aren’t around and can’t take care of a spammer or two.

Keep Your Passwords to Yourself
Lately there have been a few people going around offer to help give you normal and skill tokens if you give them your… password. I cannot stress to you the importance of keeping your password private. All passwords on the server are completely encrypted, not even we know what your password is. This is in place for your safety so that you cannot be messed with by anyone. Do not be tempted by promises of credits and tokens. If you give your password out, you will be burned.
All accounts that have had their password passed around will be closed down and will have all their stats removed.
Use common sense.
Cheers,
Synthlight
3rd Official Tournament!!! Sign-ups NOW OPEN!
Hey Guys! Everyone has been dying to know what the story is with the 3rd tournament. Well, it is now officially starting. Signups will run from right now until Sunday evening, September 2nd, at Midnight EST. If you want to sign up, post in this thread. To note… you MUST have at least 150 games played to be able to sign up, otherwise we won’t be able to properly judge which division you belong in. You also can not sign up with a multi-account.
If you are not familiar with your tournaments, there are 4 divisions: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. You do NOT signup for a specific division. Just post in the thread saying that you want to sign up and we’ll do the work to properly place you in the division. It’s THAT simple. Sprite- will be running the day to day aspects of this tournament, taking over for Shashakiro. Any larger disputes will come to me for final decisions. Each round of the tournament will last 1 week, and each round will be Free For All. No more worrying about having to play the #1 seed in your division in the 1st week… if you’re good enough to advance compared to the masses, you will!
Prizes have yet to be set in stone, but I can guarantee cash prizes to the top finishers in each division (most likely top 2 or 3) as well as subscriptions to the top 3 or 4 finishers in each division. Beyond that, the top8 in each of the 4 divisions WILL get access to the coveted Token 18, vROFL. And, I will likely be able to get some CDs as prizes as well from some of our new band partnerships. T-shirts are also possible prizes. I’ll have the full list set in stone within the next week or two… but as you can see, there are some great prizes!
Any other questions, please ask them here or in the thread and Sprite or myself will answer them. There are also more detailed explanations on how the tournament will run and the rules in the thread.

SGX Widget Live
If you don’t know who SGX is by now, you probably have been sleeping somewhere in a closet for the past 5 years. Besides being an incredibly talented musician, he was one of the first to allow the use of his music on FFR along with ForGreatJustice, Antinomie, Chuk & Gek and a handful of others back in 2002. As a matter of fact, you should take a listen to the menu music in FFR sometime. You might find something you recognize.
So as you have guessed, we have built up quite a collection of SGX levels over the past 5 years. You can find them all in one nice neat little package right here:
or here:
Make sure you write him a little note thanking him for the years of enjoyment. 
Cheers,
Synthlight
