Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

Happy Friday everyone.

FFRMania Challenge Songs Are Underway!

What are these challenge songs?
Challenge Songs are charts from FFRMania with Skill Token like challenges attached to them. You will get a credit reward for completing the challenges. Each challenge will have a particular one-time credit payout. Anyone on the D4/D5 Rivalry spreadsheet can complete these challenges.

Umm, what's FFRmania?
FFRMania is a non-official engine with hundreds of Stepmania files (without the holds, mines and whatnot), such as the FFR Community and Seasonal Packs, Nuclear Blast Jumpstream Packs, and ODI Packs. The engine also includes a load of dump packs such as the Rebound, Mina, and Midare dump packs for a challenge unlike anything the official engine has to offer. Refer to the FFR Standalone guide for the details on loading the engine.

How long are the rewards for completing challenges available?
Challenges are permanent for as long as I'm managing this thread. I'll be adding challenges every week along with the normal weekly songs. They will be posted in-thread as well as on a separate page off the main spreadsheet.

How do I submit the scores on the Challenge Songs?
Screenshots are the best way. Just post them in the rivalry thread, and I will reward the player with credits in a timely manner.

So what are the charts the first group of challenges?

Challenge 1: It's Time To Party!
AAA It's Time To Party! from Rebound Dump Collection Megapack 1. Reward: 500 credits.

Challenge 2: Enigma
Score better than 39250 on Enigma from the Red Faction Pack. Reward: 650 credits.

Challenge 3: It's In Your Melody
FC It's In Your Melody from Rebound Dump Collection Megapack 2. Reward: 1200 credits


Due to FFRMania's size, it takes me some time to sift though the songs to find charts I think others will enjoy and have reasonable reward requirements for this rivalry's skill level. If you have ideas for songs to add to the challenges, please PM me about them. I'd be happy to discuss ideas anyone has.

I'll update the spreadsheet with the challenges this evening.

Here are the songs for Week 9 (5/9-5/16)

D5:
Return to Fire (80)
Rotary Slicers (78)
Beware the Purple Water (74)
Cinnamon Roll (72)

D4:
Arsonist (68)
Epidermis (66)
ORIENTAL SEA!! (64)
Mortal Kombat Metal Menu (61)

Congrats to all the people who have posted great scores on non-rivalry songs!

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

Nice to see Epidermis this week, and overall good song selection even though I hate Mortal Kombat Metal Menu chart.

As a suggestion for next week, Pokemon BW - Elite Four Battle.

By the way, aren't those challenges too easy for D5 players? I feel like most of them will get those without much effort.

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

I used to be good at MKMM, let's see how this goes haha
Yay VSnares even though this is one of my "weaker" ones

Nice runs Yulanik

You wanna know how the 66-78 range was established? Originally there was a list of specific songs that gave it, and that was the difficulty range of them. From Rottel-da-station to Piano Etude Gymnastics.

And Scarhand was originally given for only Reality, now it's any 79-84 AAA. Good luck guys!

Edit: Yeah, I'm with Autotelic. With the possible exception of that AAA, the D5 crowd will make mincemeat out of these challenges. Let's see the D4 folks try it and see the reaction first.

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

Case in point:


I also have 4g on It's Time To Party! and 2 misses on It's In Your Melody, they are ok for D4 challenges, but definitely too easy for D5.

[Yulanik]

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

Ugh damnit, yeah I can AAA, this was my 2nd full run of it


pffhhah I barely beat the challenge, sightread run


I tried the rebound file, think I'm gonna have to be a bit more warmed up to FC it cuz jacks > >

But yeah this should be some easy creds for the D5 gang

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

These are my meh preliminary scores (I'm mad it ghosted an arrow on Cinnamon Roll ruining my clean 5-0-0-0):

Also, why couldn't you have posted this sooner? I got 5-0-0-1 on Beware the Purple Water last night, lol

EDIT: Got my 2nd FGO SDG on The Bird's Poisoned Bathwater 8-0-0-1 (my first being Sleep).

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

I don't have enough credits for return to fire 79000/85000. Could someone kindly donate please?

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

By the way, aren't those challenges too easy for D5 players? I feel like most of them will get those without much effort.

When the D5 players finish the 'challenges' they will get the credits for it. When D4 players finish the 'challenges' they will also get credits for the same thing.

I anticipate most people will succeed in the Enigma challenge. Some people will have trouble with It's Time To Party, and Melody can be pretty darn tricky. Do the challenges if you want something extra to do. They give extra credits. The difficulties will vary in the future. There will be more difficult challenges than Melody. The Enigma challenge is probably the easiest these will get.

I'm getting started on updating the spreadsheet now. Points and credits for week 8 will be distributed Monday as that's my day off.

Edit: Challenges highlighted in green on the spreadsheet have had credits sent.

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

Ty axith for letting me borrow credits and jumpstream files. This is basically sightread, had to restart because anti virus popped up randomly. Lmao.

Rotary slicer is not sightread but the rest are. I will improve the rest probably after mother's day. Cheers.

Sleep is a 76, so not quite. Bathwater is either a 79 or 80, though, so good job on that...dick.

76-82 is FGO.... I have the difficulties written down because I didn't like how R3 doesn't show them.... that was uncalled for......

I already have some improvement

I'm not sure what I should aim for being new to D5 though so someone besides omega post something please, lol

EDIT: also that's a crazy good score on Return to Fire omega >.>

Re: ~D4/D5 Rivalry~

76-82 is FGO

FGO is 79-92*
