These are opinions from one sightread playthrough, and I reserve the right to change these opinions at any time.
Rainbow Road: Loved the song. Feels like a great, happy way to start out D1, even if the file had a few tough patterns for round one.
Polargeist: Pretty easy file but fairly relaxing to just listen to. Not as drum 'n bass as I was expecting.
Session: The file was alright, the song was kinda boring. I had moderate success on the file, so I can't complain too much.
Fill Me Up: I'm a sucker for smooth jazz and this hit the spot. Great file that I had success on and as enjoyable if not more than Yellow Leaves for me.
Truth: Now is when it's out of my do alright zone. The file was dubstepped, and captured that pretty well. The song was fine, nothing too crazy.
Lexus: I don't remember this one, but it was hard. I think there was a string of notes where I felt I was doing well, so that tends to indicate a well-made file in my opinion. The music I guess wasn't too memorable since I can't recall even a small section. :/
Pandemonium: It's a Xi song. Nice piano once it picks up, so enjoyable to listen to. The file was tough and had some rough bursts, so I did quite poorly. I don't think it's a bad way to start off D7.

Best strat: enjoy the game, play what you feel like when you feel like it. Don't think about what you are doing or why, enjoy the gameplay, the artistry behind the stepfile, and enjoy the music.
When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

Yeah, FFR is addicting...I don't think I'll get bored with this game unless I somehow become the best at it, which won't happen.
I have terrible offset issues with Polargeist for some reason. Played the D1 and D3 picks and they seem just fine on the same offset. Anyone got any tips for fixing this?
On the subject of songs though,
D1: It's a good, fun chart, but rather lengthy imo.
D2: I played Geometry Dash, so I really dig the music from that game. I'm having major issues on the chart, but other than that it's ok.
D3: Really like this one.
but D1 feels like pretty high up for where D1 is usually round 1
Yeah. Last official started with a 13 and this one is a 15. So definitely a jump up, but not too bad. Currently trying to whittle down my 18 goods. In the middle of the pack for now, so I should be fine.
10th Official Tournament – D1 – 18th (eliminated in round 4)
11th Official Tournament – D2 – 21st (eliminated in round 4)
13th Official Tournament – D2 – 36th (eliminated in round 1)
Revenge of the Drowned – D1 – 6th (eliminated in round 6)
15th Official Tournament – D2 – 13th (eliminated in round 4)
D1: Rainbow Road - Feels like a harder file than usual for round 1 for D1. Was stepped really nicely though for an easy chart.
D5: Truth (xKore Remix) - I've been wondering when FFR was going to get another xKore song in haha. Thought it was fun to play since the patterns were smooth.
D6: Lexus Cyanixs - Definetly the hardest round 1 D6 song I've seen imo (Previous Round 1 songs I remember are The Rapids, Spoils, Pussy Pump, and Guile of the Rime King). I personally enjoyed the song and the file. I don't really understand what's going on in the chart though as my fingers just do the work for me mostly but the patterns aren't awkward to me at all and feel great hitting. Definetly my favorite this round.
D7: Pandemonium - This reminds me of Halcyon stepped by bmah where I enjoy playing most of the file and then there's those one or two sections that are just aids awkward and ruin the file for me :/
Jokes aside, I see where you're coming from. I do think one needs to be of a certain inclination to enjoy a song like Sesh, glad to see that some people did. It's certainly not the most exciting song, so it's unfortunate if you didn't enjoy it, but rest assured whatever I have left in the tournament is much more dynamic than long, slow burn streamz.
p.s. Middie: There are no hands because I didn't feel as if any sound was particularly distinctive or domineering. What are currently the 192nd jumps are probably the best candidates for this, but since they're just time-stretched and distorted samples of the main beat, they weren't really enough for me.
As for the rest of the files maybe I just have really odd tastes but I didn't like D4's song (the file itself was pretty impeccable though). D6 was my favourite file of the round, really nice stuff. D7's was pretty cool too even though I can't play it competently; Halogen's files were on point as well (nice catch on the repeating C during the keyboard melody bits; I've listened to the song many times before but I never caught that...)

Session was pretty much nostalgia to me because I used to love that song back in middle school. Oh man, the Linkin Park days :'D Now they're shit D:
Anyways, Truth was a lot of fun. Not really sure if the pink arrows were necessary, but it gave an interesting touch to the file. Im actually surprised that I AAAd it because of that O.o
