Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread

I'm honored to be placed so highly, but man this song is a dumb block. I can't seem to get any higher than 3.0.0.1, and usually I get between 13-26 goods.

Use Orbular as well. hhgngnng

Hey, cool idea. I won't get to playing my song for a little while, we'll see how I do. Still not sure I belong in D3. I also don't get anything out of playing a song a bunch of times, which is inconvenient.

We meet again Bogogoobo, glad to see your in my division!

Look, I'm a let you all finish but D3 IS THE BEST DIVISION OF ALL TIME.

But really though. I thought Fire was hard. The patterns were tough for me. The songs I find difficult are typically the opposite of the songs people at or around my skill level find difficult.

The D2 song is really easy for me, got a sightread blackflag. I'm feeling more confident that I'm ready for D3.

The D2 song was hard too. Haha. Piano stuff can be a huge pain in the gonads.

I can completely understand that. I think it took me more tries to AAA the D2 song than the D3. Piano songs tend to have grace notes that I don't hear in the music which throws me off a bit (though I don't tend to use earphones). I like the look of colorful files though. Colors of the Wind was really nice.

That's part of these competitions. I had to play a song nearly 1000 times in the 5th official in order to move on.



I'll be doing the same this year if I want any chance in moving on past first round.

There's a lot of ways to kill blocks. Ask someone such as Halogen for a replay to frame comparison to study what the chart looks like.

Put some effort into it.

Also, realistically you get something out of playing it numerous times. You get GTS and credits. Who knows maybe you'll randomly have an epiphany and AAA it.

TLDR: You sound like you expect to be able to cake walk through and are annoyed that's not how it works. This is how the Official works, EVERY division should have to put in a lot of plays. If you didn't you were placed to low.

/ end rant

Sorry for intruding on your guy's thread. It's nice to see the D1-D3 people being active though. Good luck to all of you.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread

I'm not annoyed, I'm just saying I don't think that's how I work. I've tried before, and very rarely can I even get a better score by playing a song over and over. I just have to get warmed up and give it my best, and that's that. Apparently that's weird, but it's just what happens, I think.

In other news, I'll just keep a "tourney log" thing by posting.
D1: easy AAA, luckily I stayed focused. D2: first try blackflag, will need to mirror so the rolls are easier, and I got a good on the orange note so being on the left will be easier. (Edit: done first try, hooray.) D3: 4-0-0-2 sightread, can improve that. A AAA _might_ be possible, my hand is kinda cold right now... Edit: might as well include D4 for fun, first try 12-1-1-7. I have to mash the double 1234 rolls, that's all that kept me from FC, though the minijacks are dangerous for me too.
Edit: Fire improved to 3 clean, now that I was expecting the first couple oranges. I like these patterns, they're surprisingly hittable.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread

I have difficulty doing well on a song I play over and over as well. What I usually try to do is play files in higher difficulty ranges then drop back down to that file. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not. Worth a shot though right?

[Bobogoobo]

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread

Yeah, that's what I try to do, but even then there's usually not much change over the course of the day. That said, third try on Fire got it to a blackflag ^.^ And I still have the rest of the week to work on it. I just need to make sure I practice at least a little every day so I don't get worse.

Yeah I do that too. I usually go to Blue Noah and Blue Army as a warm up after warming up on some 50s. Blue Army is just super invigorating for me to listen and play to.

I used to play Blue Army like crazy when I was a D2 player haha. Now I get too frustrated because I know I can AAA but always screw up somewhere due to the length of it.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread

Just played Blue Army, invigorating indeed. It was fun, good practice for streaming (I AAAd all the jumps as always :P). I got close to your score except I got a miss between two big combos. I'll see if I can catch up sometime :P thanks for the suggestion.
