Re: what happend to the good old days

what he's saying is that speedmods take away the challenge of trying to find your own screencut. FFR seems to have been designed to test the art of screenshrinking. i took a lot of time mastering the screenshrink, and now it seems to have disappeared, so that new players have the luxury of forgetting about it.

Then you can still screenshrink, if it makes you better than if you'd have used speedmods. Does it really matter about the method of getting a score (that's legit)? A score is a score.

Many of us didn't just start with FFR, and are already used to speedmods, making screencutting seem retarded.

This whole "speed mods suck screenshrinking rules" argument is about as redundant as "using the bar is cheating" is in DDR/ITG (especially ITG).

Seriously. Use whatever the hell makes you do better, and don't complain about what everyone else uses.

nobody ever said speedmods are cheating.

That's not what I was pointing out, I was referring to people (that usually play DDR) constantly harassing people that play hard ITG edits and bar. "DUDE YOU PLAY BAR YOU ****** YOU COULDN'T DO THAT WITHOUT THE BAR".

Basically, both of these arguments are pointless and go in circles. A score is still a score.

Re: what happend to the good old days

The good ole' days when FFR wasn't invaded by endless songs already found on Stepmania? (i.e. Sharpnel, Shiki, onoken)

Yep

Re: what happend to the good old days

It's not like there were any more amazing songs prior.

If anything, most of the older songs suck. And remember, as pointed out, some people here don't play SM, so it doesn't matter to them if it's old to you or not.

Re: what happend to the good old days

Re: what happend to the good old days

Heh, how is FFR like a portable SM at ALL? It's not even close, even with the introduction of speedmods.

Now, if avmissing were to be fixed, the frame system changed, the lifebar modified, the timing windows tightened and lots of other changes made THEN it'd be a portable SM. But really, it's very different as it is.

Re: what happend to the good old days

Btw, FFR wasn't made for screencutting.
The speed mods have always been in the options.. they just haven't been available. So its still pretty much the same just they actually got it working and added it into FFR.
Screencutting in the other hand is actually smart. Since there was no speed mods back then it works the same as a speed mod. You see less arrows at one time which gives you the upper hand in focusing on the arrows you do see. So either way its the same I find, I still play both ways equally.
But I think using speed mods is better when you make videos, so some of the people who aren't so good and can understand more whats going on.
And finally... about FFR turning into SM. Well it kinda is and isn't, all the songs in FFR are made by public, and since a lot of people like most of the new music that is getting added into FFR and like submitting there files in, it will continue happening, most of the old songs on FFR were originals I understand and it was good because you could only find half the songs on FFR. But still, time to move on? Everything changes sooner or later, for better or for worse.

ahahahahahahahaha this kid doesnt know what hes talking about

speed mods were NEVER in ffr before now...NEVER...they were just in the options to look nice or something idk but they were NEVER in ffr until now

vids? people know youre hitting a bunch of arrows, if they can follow along then they can follow along, if not then so be it. it still looks cool either way i guess

i remember when i could get an fc on silence and i would be top 100 (about 2 months ago). now, i have to get an fc with about 30 goods or less on it to even get close to top 100.

ffr is basically a smaller version of sm with a better community and jack syndrome. damn you, jack syndrome >_>

And you my friend, have selective reading.

The speed mods have always been in the options.. they just haven't been available.

Which was in response to ledwix saying FFR was built for screencutting. Basically he's trying to prove that speedmods were meant to be implemented in the first place, but they didn't get around to it until recently.

AHAHAHAHA THIS KID DOESN'T KNOW WUT HE READIN LOLSOF /headdesk

3rd style ftw

and I remember 1st style, when the timing window was really strict and there were no boos (when you mash it was treated as misses, combobreakerz).
