    Talent Show

    I'm curious to know what people's answers to this question would be:

    Q: If you were to play FFR in a talent show and only had time for one song (on any engine), what would it be and why?

    My answer: Twister on DF engine because it's a really fun file and a neat song.

    Final Fantasy Last Battle Festival.

    Mainly because it's so long and relatively fast that the audience could appreciate both the stamina and skill required to do it.

      Probably The Rapids; fun song, not too long or too short, over 1,000 combo (apparently that's a big deal)

      ^FFP_D0pey btw

        Re: Talent Show

        While I didn't play in something as big as a talent show, I had to give a presentation to a class with 50 or so other students. Since it was more or less informative I didn't have a whole lot of time to play a super long song (6min presentation time limit - song included) but I played HELLBEAT v2, mainly because it was under 1min, and for someone who's never played FFR it looks somewhat impressive.

        Scored a 2G run when I showed the class.
        yo, I wouldn't do it.


        THIS IS YOUR WARNING

        LEAVE WHILE YOU CAN

        SRSLY, GTFO

        LAST CHANCE MAN

        You kinda deserve it, now



        THE GAME

        You lose.

          Re: Talent Show

          I've long pondered this question. For literally like two years cause I was thinking about doing exactly what you mentioned, rushy.

          I have yet to decide lol

            Re: Talent Show

            My engine: Possibly Spin Me Right Round, Tornado Song, or All The Small Things. I think it's cool to have some visual effects factored in, not just straight easier steps

            And if I really wanted to troll, I'd do Happy Birthday - but of course my score would be messy as hell so that wouldn't really look "good" in a talent show haha.

              Re: Talent Show

              Play Stepmania. Play a song and be like "This shit's too slow so I'll play it at 1.2x" and people will be like "Wow you're hardcore"

              EDIT: Whenever I play to impress, I play one cool as **** file (like Eyes of June) and one speed file, TOMLhand or something usually does it. Or Destiny gamma standard.

              "That just will not do." was keywii's response as she lunged for the scissors, pulled the blades apart, and clamped them down on the base of foil's shaft. Blood start gushing out of the wound where his penis used to be.
              "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Foil in horror.
              "Don't worry. I'm a wizard" uttered Keywii. And with that, Foil's penis grew back.

                Re: Talent Show

                ninjaKIWI, that would be a cool experiment. Be like "ok let's play quasar" and get some mediocre MA AAA, but then get a low SDG FC on 2.0 rate or something haha. I actually remember doing that in Anime Boston, also doing TEH BOSS SONG 2 and the people watching me were like HOLY SHIT

                Also a guy saw in person me playing Death Piano on SM getting an AA on oni and he was like "wow dude you beat Thaor" haha.

                      Reality because grindcore death metal is appropriate for a high school audience and would be praised by the administrators.

                        Also play on J1, just saying. hue~ Perfect way ensure success. The last thing you'd want while playing at a talent show is to **** up rofl.

                          Re: Talent Show

                          I played Stepmania at a school talent show a few years back.
                          over 400 students where watching me play on a huge projector.
                          My song choice was cats over the frail dream 1.2 Dont remember
                          How I scored, though I know I only missed a few. And yes, the crowd
                          Went wild.

                          DF song choices would include:
                          1.Almagest
                          2.Contain
                          3.St.Scarhand
                          4.Lawn wake II
                          5.Obscene Amount of Steam
                          6.Emotions

                            Lol, Kiwi. (It's funny because it's true, but then epic fix war ensues as you're trying to beat your J1 score.)

                            To me, the keys to impressing a lay audience are three things: Familiar/good song, fast stream (avoid JS unless you're Icy) and clean run, preferably FC. I actually got videotaped playing Gradeus in the undergrad library at Wayne State once.

                            These days, I'd probably do Hats, Gloves and Overalls from VGMP1. Everyone loves Mario, lots of kids like rock, and I can hit the 208bpm streams more often than not. For FFR, I'd probably do one of the streamier FMOs that I could reliably FC. Going On Spring Wind, for example.

                              I always play 300 because it starts slow and steadily increases so people start out like wtf, and then wtf!, and then by the end they're like WTF! O_O ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
