Re: FFR What about it?

Community is meh, Game is meh, but the songs are awesome. I much prefer playing SM or Thirdstyle over FFR.

Yup but more fun that i expected since it was the only online rhythm site i knew.

Super fun, i loved it, I've been into DDR/ITG/PIU for years, so translating on fingers wasn't too tough, just took adjusting.

I'm pretty sure my first song play (Sonic Boss Machine) was an FC.

Excite Bike AAA took me a couple month cuz it was a little offbeat.

I learned to mash through level 12s within my first month.

5.37 years. First Account = Mapleleaf2102 I start offf playing 5-7s

well , i could try remembering :

1.
na actually not , FFR was just a place to download simfiles i wanted to play , that was all, a few months later i decided to create an account and suddenly a totally new world opened its doors for me (back that time 2 years ago i was a real noob), and well, it was totally awesome ( although i guess that during my joining time , there have been a bunch of hacks etc. going around.

2.
i was kinda impressed how fluently the game went, although the style was pretty crappy.

3.
the first game i played was a FC , i guess it was "20031023" ( since its at the top of the list). back then i did pretty bad i guess ~100-~10-0-~10 xD
(good memories xDD)

4.
not long i just started to play lvl 1 songs, although excite Bike was my very first AAA

5.
err.. dunno passing wasnt a real problem , but FC'ing a FGO took me about 1 year, still with bad mashing scores.

6.
as i said i randomly played everything, but i prefered 9- 10 songs , although i did bad xD, and now i can SDG FMO's .. its pretty funny , since back then i thought such scores like AAA Ing FMO / VC's or even higher files, wouldnt be possible without cheats xD

1. A replacement for Stepmania because I never managed to fix lag on it and no need to download simfiles.

2. Nah, it was even better because there was a cool community too and getting involved was a lot more fun than going on SMO and being stuck with either Dance pad players or godlike people that I can't compete with due to lag issues and them being way better than average player.

3. My first game was on Trip to the Moon and I had major lag issues and it was unplayable so, I kept playing for fun but didn't consider doing anything competitive because AAAing was simply impossible even on the easiest songs.

4. My first FC was on some 1 footer and only took a couple of tries due to adapting to that huge amount of space between arrows which you're not very likely to see on harder files. All this space somehow made me very uncomfortable, to the point that I was doing almost better on 5-6 footers than 3-4 ones, especially the Synthlight files rofl..

5. My first AAA was Trip to the Moon after fixing most of the lag but not completely. This game has never run smoothly until recently with all those new engines.

6. The same day I learned how to play I could already mash pass 12s. If you mean getting full combo on 12s without mashing @ doing a 12 normally. I was one handed 1.5 years, learned spread after and had trouble to adapt etc. I estimate that I only have a chance to get to this level after 4 years, but this shouldn't happen to you if you start now and learn spread.

7. 1 footer, I only played pad files on stepmania back in the day and I was even having trouble with them during a couple of months. FFR is pretty much 75%+ of all my games from not even knowing what's a rhythm game to what I am today.

Re: FFR What about it?

What are your thoughts on it?
I like the game and community a lot. There's always room for improvement though, for both the game aspects and community aspects. I don't feel there's a need to compare FFR to other rhythm gaming sites.

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it?
I didn't have any expectations when I found this game through addictinggames.com. I was aware of DDR back then, but never played it either at that point.

What did you think of your first game?
I thought it was pretty fun. Just "another flash game" to try out, and this one was interesting.

How long till your first FC?
Don't remember.

How long till your first AAA?
Don't remember, but obviously a longer time period than the above answer. Also, AAAing on the oldest engine was near impossible, so it definitely didn't happen until later updates on the game.

How long till you could pass a lvl12?
lvl 12 difficulties didn't exist for several years after I started, so I can't really answer the question based on my progression of skill. Nevertheless, I can't remember my first 12 anyways.

What difficulty did you start at when playing?
The first difficulty. Started with Super Mario Eighties song, and I failed it several times at first.

Re: FFR What about it?

What are your thoughts on it?
My first thoughts were that it was a fun game, good to use to pass a few hours. More recently when I started taking it seriously, I realised I could be competitive and that made it even more fun (and challenging)

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it?
Yes.

What did you think of your first game?
'Wow, I'm really bad at this'

How long till your first FC?
Got my first FC on my second play. It was a 1 difficulty song though lol.

How long till your first AAA?
Probably like my 5th play (on the song I first FC'd).

How long till you could pass a lvl12?
When I learnt to mash for ages. Actually managed to FC a 12 by doing that. Nearest I've got since is FCing (not by mashing mind - I don't mash anymore) Novo Mundo, one of the easier FMOs.

What difficulty did you start at when playing?
1. Never played any rhythm games before so wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting myself in for.

Re: FFR What about it?

Attempt (nearly 5 years ago)

What are your thoughts on it?
First thoughts was that it was fun, and my mom was downloadphobic so I couldn't get Stepmania.

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it?
Yes :P

What did you think of your first game?
"WTF is up with all the jumps?" (Etude To A Dragon)

How long till your first FC?
IIRC, it was either CIA Rave or dot death (stealth remix). Hooray for index :P

How long till your first AAA?
3 years in (Spontaneous Hydroxide)

How long till you could pass a lvl12?
A couple days in, I could pass Revo on index. Although it's no longer a 12, I could pass Caprice earlier on.

What difficulty did you start at when playing?
9 (fail). 9 or 10 (pass). I had been playing DDR 4 or 5 years since then (Started this site underage lol)

[rushyrulz]

Re: FFR What about it?

I'mma attempt to answer these lol


What are your thoughts on it?
Thought it would be a good way to help improve my reading on DDR.

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it?
No cuz there weren't any speedmods and half the songs were blue note.

What did you think of your first game?
Why are all the notes blue?

How long till your first FC?
Day one, everything was pretty easy chartwise back then.

How long till your first AAA?
idk, month or two. Trip to the Moon

How long till you could pass a lvl12?
Probably around the time I switched to spread about a year after joining.

What difficulty did you start at when playing?
2-4?

Re: FFR What about it?

What are your thoughts on it?

Amazing game, community is great for the most part except for a few bad kids xD

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it?

Nooooo not at all. I expected a format similar to DDR, Stepmania, such.

What did you think of your first game?

Hyper. xD Under request from a friend, my first game was "Hyper Hyper Definitive Version" . I passed, lolderp of a PA though, go figure its an 8 for a first game.

How long till your first FC?

Within the first five minutes (:

How long till your first AAA?

Withink the first hour and a half (: iirc, it was on a level 4 or 5.

How long till you could pass a lvl12?

The very next day, i passed Frictional Nevada, Hardkore Atomic, and some others (: happy happy

What difficulty did you start at when playing?

I kinda scrambled around difficulties. i think the majority of my plays were levels 7 to 9 and some VC's.

Re: FFR What about it?

I will try to remember as much as I can.

1. What are your thoughts on it?
Community isn't as great as it could be but im still glad there are a some people in the community that I can enjoy talking with.

2. Was it what you expected it to be when you found it?
FFR was the first time I ever joined an online community so no it was all new to me. I hardly knew anything about the internet back then.

3. What did you think of your first game?
First song I played was fotbb. I wanted to get better at it since I saw someone else play it first and I wanted to be better than him. He wasn't that good at it lol.

4. How long till your first FC?
Well I dont remember when I got my first FC but I am sure that I FCed lots of the easier songs when I first started playing.


5. How long till your first AAA?
I didnt get my first AAA until I entered into my first tournament that was run by Izzy haha. It was the first round song and the song was Three Ring Nightfall. I never cared about AAAs until I competed in the first tournament. That tournament was the start of my FFR competitivenous haha.

6. How long till you could pass a lvl12?
I could pass it instantly when I started the game but thats because passing songs on FFR isnt too hard since you can mash your way to it.

7. What difficulty did you start at when playing?
I played all of the difficulties haha.

[flipsta_lombax]

Re: FFR What about it?

What are your thoughts on it?
It used to be a busy, inviting and interactive place when I first got here. After the 10-month hiatus with FFR, people came back, but not all. I guess the ones I made great friends with here are either have moved on or aren't as active like I am.
It's just adequate of an online rhythm game, a time-killer. It has it's fun moments, and great, dedicated people. But the ones who just want to grow e-peen here grows in number and it no longer has that inviting, interactive feel. It's deterring.

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it?
The very first time I found this site, I loved it to death.

What did you think of your first game?
It was weird, abut got addicting very fast. It annoyed me since the only keys I could use were the arrow keys and it felt cluttered. But I knew I'd be playing this game forever.

How long till your first FC?
Probably a month after I first signed in. I'm pretty sure it was the Super Mario 8-Bit mix.

How long till your first AAA?
Pretty sure it was 6-8 months after first signing in. I raped Alpha Helix for quite a while... I'm pretty sure that was my first AAA. Or something easier... it HAS been a while lol.

How long till you could pass a lvl12?
It was a mash-fest 'til just last year when I got a lot better at 12's, but if I'm not mistaken, RunnyMorning was considered a 12 back in the day. I passed it around year 1.

What difficulty did you start at when playing?
Honestly, Standard. I tried the game on Very Easy, but to this day it's too boring for me, so I never play Very Easy too much...

Re: FFR What about it?

What are your thoughts on it? - I like it! I think it's one of the better and more fun browser based games available, although my love for all rhythm games makes me biased.

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it? - No. Infact, I thought it was pretty lame at first, but this was over 7 years ago. No speed mods, shitty charts for players who played index as a result of years of DDR, and lots of song with notes that just didn't go to the music. Yet I remember I would log on once in a while and play just because I was bored at school, and they blocked ogame

What did you think of your first game? - It would have been something like "Wow, how cool that this exists in browser. Shame it's not as nice as Stepmania and the charts are shit."

How long till your first FC? - I can't remember that, but if it wasn't on the first day or even the first song I'd be very surprised

How long till your first AAA? - Not sure. I came back to the site a month or so ago after a LONG absence, and I had a AAA on Excite Bike. Could have been anytime XD

How long till you could pass a lvl12? - I'm not sure what was considered a 12 back then, but if there were any 12s that were passable on index, I probably passed it. Not that it's an achievement as anyone can pass one with mashing.

What difficulty did you start at when playing? - I remember lolling at Uber Raves chart (Ub3r R4v3!), and loving CIA Rave, so probably about 7-9 level.

[iironiic]

Re: FFR What about it?

What are your thoughts on it? Probably something to the extent of, "Interesting game. Let's check this out."

Was it what you expected it to be when you found it? I found myself getting more and more addicted to the game as I play more, so probably more than I expected.

What did you think of your first game? Probably something like, "Why the hell are the arrows scrolling up?" haha

How long till your first FC? I don't remember. I remember getting an FC relatively quickly than I expected though.

How long till your first AAA? I'm not sure, but I think I AAA'd Excite Bike first. I remember I had the hardest time hitting the arrows perfectly with that file.

How long till you could pass a lvl12? I didn't really play through the 12s back in the days. I was more focused on 7-8's when I first started. Probably a few weeks.

What difficulty did you start at when playing? First song was either Twilight Techno or bbblow. I remember playing that file over and over again because it was a good song to me xD
