Hey, guess what bLasTamos just did?

That is AWESOME. But...the receptors aren't in the right order (for those who play arrows, not like I do anyway ).

No matter. The fact that it works is pretty sweet.

Re: 6 Key FFR

I'd totally agree with that, and I'm surprised that people are interested by solo mode (6 keys).

I started solo when I was playing o2jam, but I lost interest because no one would play that mode. Now that you bring this idea to us, AND on ffr, I won't brown my pants, but I'd definatly spend a lot of time on it.

Re: 6 Key FFR

Lol, I tried solo for the first time earlier, it was easy until the stream came, then it was like WTF!?

Re: 6 Key FFR

anyone who opposes the idea because they should just play stepmania are absolutely retarded.


6 key ffr would deliver something fresh and challenging for people who have been playing ivkas (4 key auto scratch) for ages.

yea guys ffr is gay as **** and a horrible idea just play sm instead.

Re: 6 Key FFR

Solo for FFR is seriously something that needs to be done.. seriously. Seriously. Did I say seriously?
The site is in shambles. Been in shambles. Not saying that adding solo will fix anything, but it will definitely, definitely, be a source of keeping people interested in playing on the site, for the users who do actually do that. Obviously this will not happen in the near time future due to the current status on things, the long list of priorities and whatever else is in the way, but it seriously needs to be implemented. Did I say seriously
Aside from being a whole new experience to users, we're really lacking on a mixture of games, which I believe Synth was actually trying to bring in at one point in time, except, this really is not a mixture. Bringing solo really institutes a whole new level to stepping, which in fact, people are growing old of. Using the same four keys for layering becomes utterly boring. Adding two keys creates a whole new level of layering and PR. Adding two keys makes more complex streams. Adding two keys makes my wang tingle, a bit.
I've never been into solo at all but adding it would definitely catch my interest and will obviously catch others as well. I'm not even going to go in depth into how much of a different experience and liking it will generate.. a lot should realize this already.
Obviously we already would have a giant queue of songs that needs to be stepped, which would allow a total mix up of song difficulties and so on. Of course with this we would also really need to look into a whole panel of judges for judging songs, which we need to look into anyway.
As for a newer crowd actually "starting off" with solo, isn't anything different than what we have now. Obviously there would be an option for the two, so no worries there.
I like.

Re: 6 Key FFR

ur my hero



solo just feels more fun. you have 6 arrows to work with, and quadruple the pattern possibilities from singles. people have been making solo files on odi since 2006 which made keyboard stepmania solo somewhat popular (by popular i mean 10 people on odi who played solo at the time). with the evolution of solo it became apparent that this would be a game that people would look forward to when tired of singles or looking for a challenge, or simply something new and refreshing.

just like ffr, solo too can have batches and judges and permissions etc (assuming we can just use the permissions we have for 4 key ffr anyway?) and would leave plenty of room for more subscriber content which would put their money to use. imo this idea should be higher up on the priority list, assuming the community supports the idea fully (which so far it has nearly 100%)

Re: 6 Key FFR

Do you think you'll keep the Combo meter in one position or will you have it move around like in Keyboardmania?

Re: 6 Key FFR

I know something nobody has thought of....what about the one-handers!!?? LOL

I find that game to be incredibly difficult....I am still trying to figure out a key setup if I am playing my style of one hand 3 fingers.
