@Tass, did you keep track of your progress with one of those MSPaint thingys that had every song listed and categorized and you filled it in with either FC'd, AAA'd, Almost, or Never or something like that, because I have been looking for that thing lol

i know the image you're talking about... scottish or jimerax or linus or someone made it back when there was around 80 songs in-game... but, no. i did my stuff all by hand. in a notebook.

Re: Post your FFR/Stepmania resume

2006:
Already half-decent at O2Jam at that time, friend introduced FFR when I went to his house, didn't know about the game though and both of us went straight to the simfile database and downloaded a random file called Buckethead - Jordan(rofl) and played it on SM at 1x speed upscroll. Got somewhat interested and downloaded Magnatrick's FOTS(and a bunch of other songs); I actually thought that was the hardest SM file ever made haha

Did not register.

Lost interest after a few weeks and went on to play O2Jam actively for two years............

yeah i wouldnt call this a resume this is pretty much my gaming life story lmao ANYWAYS

Mid-2008(July):
-O2Jam closed down oops
-My pal LongGone, also an elite O2Jammer, introduced me to FFR the Game.
-First game unregistered was Eclipse..... did terrible. Got interested and registered
-Started my career in FFR; got Oni within the first or second month, also made a thread about it

August 2008(Or was it September?):
-Started playing SM seriously; first thing I did was play solo, MA was decent from the start because I did not start my !!career!! with FFR
-Went on to download more packs for singles as well

December 2008:
-Top 20 FFR players by ranking(average rank, Tier points etc.)
-Improved SM skills ALOT
-Became a solord(?)

2009:
-First AAA on shind bad standard(bad MA tho); truly a wondrous moment
-Switched to my bro's computer to play FFR; apparently my own computer has been holding me back in terms of FFR skills due to lag and 1.75x makes it difficult to read
-Switched to 2.0x on bro's com; no lag(!), started wrecking stuff
-AAA'd Ketsarku Mozgalom and Frictional Nevada; first and second FGO AAAs
-Now top 10 FFR Players in terms of average rank and Tier Points

Re: Post your FFR/Stepmania resume

I found FFR in early April 2008 while in a C++ Programming class. Thought it was fun and would play when I had a chance. I started by playing songs like Sonic I Final Zone. Once I graduated High School in June I spent a lot of time with friends and put FFR in the back of my mind. In July I really got into it and learned about SM by playing people in MP. At Christmas I got a new laptop and decided to put SM on it so I didnt need the internet to play anymore. I was browsing the FFR forum one day and saw NekoGon playing Solo and I decided I wanted to learn to do that. Currently I am descent at FFR and suck at Solo.

Re: Post your FFR/Stepmania resume

2004 start of my music game interest: I got the game frequency for my birthday. After I beat it I got ddr and got addicted to it. I played every day for a few months.

2005-2006: I got ITG and liked it more, played everyday.

2007 October: one of my bowling friends told me I might like this online game called ffr. He said it is tremendously popular at his school and I'm like "wtf? I've never even heard of it." He shows me it and I instantly fall in love with it. I quickly figured out to use spread after a few days of one handed playing. Got 2.5 billion points in 2 months which was a lot of playing cause I sucked.

December 2007-March 2008: didn't play ffr, was pissed that the av-miss fix wasn't public and went away.

april-may: the fix went public and I played moderately to about 4 billion points, I was able to AAA VD's.

didn't play in june

July-mid october: went from 4 billion to 8 billion points. Played like a madman and AAA'd my first vc's.

October-pres: playing speratically. I sometimes go a week or two without playing and sometimes play 100mill a day for a week. AAA'd my first FMO (midnight dragon). Currently at 10.4 billion GT. Member for 1.37 years.

I have never played stepmania and don't intend to play it anytime soon.
