The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Yeah thats what I like to call Gaunlet V4 lumph.

Right now I plan on AAAing up to Difficult then ill go onto AAAing SOME very difficults and SDGing the challenging songs.
After that Ill work on AAAing Very Difficult and Challenging and SDGing all the Very Challengings I can.

V1
Doing all easy-difficult

V2
Doing Very Difficult and Challenging

V3
Very Challenging and Master Songs + Whoring Gurus to get high ranks.



Also, ive noticed that doing a long spree of easy AAA's helps so increase accuracy... Probably because it helps your read the arrows better... not only following the beat.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

I still haven't played half of the songs in the game, at least that's what my profile says. I really don't care about my avg rank.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Hey, I have been doing this the past couple days. It's good to do it by difficulty, I think. I have finished everything 5 and below; with a few more token songs, it will be 6 and below.

Best advice I can give is not to sit and play too long; you will get sick of it. Take even 5 or 10 minute breaks between songs. I do it and it seems to work.

Dude, seriously...you aren't at the "Whore the easy songs for AAAs" stage until you at -least- have all your songs up under rank 6,000 or so.

Bad logic. Plenty of people have skill and just haven't played the songs yet; average rank is not 100% indicative of skill.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Yeah also, going from easy songs to very difficult songs is screwing me up. My PA is like 30
goods on very difficults after AAAing tricky songs, WTF.


I think im going to have to do it backwards because it seems doing a mix of easy songs and harder songs is screwing up my accuracy badly.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

maybe you need to concentrate harder or something... when im on the phone or talking to people i'll get like 30 goods on very challenging stuff that i can consistantly get less than 5 on when i try

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

well... when the beta level reader came out, i went back and re-AAAd many of the songs that weren't showing up in there because i had done the AAA pre-recording of scores.

still haven't done them all, because stuff like 136.6 and terror from beyond are BEYOND annoying to re-AAA... but for many of them, i just set autofail to 1 and played them. if you're good enough, most can be done in 1 try. i can AAA most songs up to a 7 in 1 shot, maybe 2.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

I sure would hate to have to Re-AAA Funk in G, but other than that, the offbeat files weren't too hard for me, for some reason.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Yeah... I can do most in one try but when I play easy songs that get to songs that are even at levels like Difficult; my PA gets worse and I hit a wall.


I really need to write down on notepad all songs I need to do in each genre.
Seeing that last year, at the FFR Con (As ill call it..) I couldnt even FC Frozen,
as most of you rudely pointed out..

I think from April, ive made a decent improvement.











I wish I didnt play songs I couldnt do back then, because it really left an annoying mark on my av. rank.

Im sure anyone who read this post can see the mark of my horrific curse.

Its call the "If you SDG it I will make you miss at really stupid fking marks."
Of course I will then FC it with worse PA.

This sometimes happen with easier songs as well.

That's not bad logic at all. He stated in the OP that his purpose was to improve his average rank. I was simply stating that if your goal is average rank improvement, step 1 should be to log a reasonable score for every song, and -then- start to AAA easy songs to up it further.

As in: You'll improve your rank faster logging an SDG from a song you have no score for, than you will AAAing a song you're already rank 500 on.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

If you're trying to increase your average rank, try doing these:

- Play all of the songs so you can get all the ranks to at least 2,000-ish (may vary; it depends on your skill). Any score is better than 0 points.

- When trying to improve, try going from the bottom of the list, because 2,544 -> 722 will do you more good than 877 -> 1. The songs near the bottom should be the easiest for you to improve in most cases. Don't go for AAA's quite yet, because at this point, you can probably do more by just improving a score.

- Once you really don't think that you can increase the lowest level ranks you have, now it's time to go back and AAA the easier songs. Start from the easiest and work your way up. And it's probably good to not do them in a single day, because it will get boring if you have a lot of them to do.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Some of those songs you listed don't even exist anymore.. gratz.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Really? I literally just copied them from my levelrank page when I made that post.

Or was that not addressed to me?

That makes sense. Sorry I targetted you, thought you were saying that until he had "gotten good enough" to lower his ranks to a certain point, trying to AAA wasn't a good idea.

I may be a bit cranky right now.

Re: The FFR 'Gauntlet'

Well see Devonin that isn't really the best bet.

If you look at alot of those song, most of those songs are easy - tricky songs.

Alot of easy-tricky songs, if you don't AAA it, even getting like 2 goods could make my rank on those songs over 1000.

If im going to go through 60 songs, why go through it twice? Its a waste of time.

Like Tass sad, if you are good enough, you can do them in one try, and I can. But there are a few songs that are so slow and boring that I just get a random good; One random good on an easy song could still be rank 2000 said easy song. Its stupid to pass up all of the very easy songs I accidently get 1 good on and come back to it later, because then ill have to take all of that time to go hunt the songs on level statistics, go throughout the genres, and redo them all over again.

Im capable of obtaining it, so its pointless to waste more time

2,840 1 SuperMario 8bit Eighties Remix 269,425* You don't say *grin*

But that's actually the point I was making. You can improve your levelrank much more efficiently by playing 10 songs you have a 0 on, than you can by playing a BF'd easy song 10 times to get your AAA. If the motivation is -primarily- to improve your average rank, to me the "best" time to actually spend the time whoring the boring easy songs is when you've already done the things that will substantially improve levelrank.
