Yeah, I've been using 3/1 personally because my speakers introduce slight delay. Looks like changing it to -1/1 fixed it for that song, thanks. Funny though, I did worse this run than on my original offsync sightread lol >.>

Anyway, that was a fun song once you play it in sync, I like it :P

Sightread 4g, this song is awesome. It shouldn't be that hard to get to round 3, and I am NOT getting one place off again.

Too late for me. I'm done. I gave up. That cut off is too crazy. I'll just have to pray that I'm in d2 again next time. But still, if it gets to this point, then that means most likely either there are too many people who'd fit better in d4 than d3, or people who should be in d2. Now, considering the fact that I'd probably AAA the d2 song given enough tries, I could see me being put in d3. A 5-0-0-1 is a D3 score for a 45 I'd imagine. Yet at the same time, if D3 is going to turn what is practically a AAA or gtfo round right off, then something's up.

Now, the reason I believe that there were so many AAAs right off the bat is because it's a rather short song. The longer the song, the more chances to screw up. Look at the arrow count.

Overall, for this tournament, I just felt 'out of my league' as some would say. But hell, I realize I'm not an easy candidate to place. Even with my decreased ability from switching to spread a while back, I'm now a rather formidable contender. Another reason I'm rather confused is that... well... I was put in d2 with practically the same scores I have now last tournament. Ruins, ect were all there. The only one that was a 'new' d3 score was Brightone AAA and Calling Mars AAA. I just don't get my placement. I thought I did well, but I suppose it takes more than what I did for d3.

Overall, I'm just flat out disappointed that I couldn't even make it past round 1. This was supposed to be the 'easy' round.

I'm so damn frustrated on this round already... I dunno how people are AAAing D2's song so fast. Whatever, 3 clean is enough to go on.

D1 for this round was more troublesome than I expected to AAA. I kept getting off beat because the beat isn't all that strong.
D2 was a pretty easy AAA I thought. A nice short song with the only tricky bit being the last 8 notes or so.
D3's song was great for me except for that bit around combo 450...until that ending jumpstream. Wow, every time so far, I have ~9 goods going into that and 30-50 coming out. I'm going to keep trying at that song, but if I was in D3 I don't think I'd make it out of this round!

This D2 song was much easier than round 1 for me. Although I have been practicing AAAing 30s for the past week

8-0-0-0
3-1-0-0
0-0-0-0

3 tries

This is also a raw scoring tournament not a combo scoring like last time. I really hate when people say how they didn't make it past the "easy" round when a huge chunk of people go out first round. It's not as though there aren't others that struggle as well. I had to play over 120 times to survive and I barely did where as others in my division AAA'd immediately. It's like that in every single division, it's not as though you're the only one out there that faces a big challenge.

True enough. Still, being outmatched like that sucks on any division.

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

Nailed the AAA after ~20 tries. (after numerous 2g's, a couple 1-0-0-x's, and three blackflag, including one where I split the last jump in the song >.>)

See you in Round 3, D2!

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

It feels good to finally get the AAA, as I won't have internet for the foreseeable future in this new apartment I have to move into. I figure I've got 13 days to figure it out. Thank God for week long rounds.

See you soon D3.

Anyone else feel D1 song is offsync a tiny bit? I was playing it normal and it didn't seem right... put the offset on -1 which seemed a little better, maybe even -2 would work. But it just.. Doesn't seem on beat for me on regular

[arcnmx]

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

Yeah, it seemed to be one frame or so off when I tried it.

[Sweet Angel]

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

Yeah seems that way still
