FFR Spring 2023 Tournament
Posted on: March 25, 2023, at 01:13:16am

So FFR decided to do something that was kinda out of left field in my opinion and do an officially sanctioned Spring tournament that I guess acts as a prelude to the 16th Official Tournament that's gonna come later in Summer. This tourney basically forced me to get back into FFR and get accustomed to the game again. I've improved a ton since I last was into FFR as I'm currently 27/28 MSD in Etterna. So apperantly because of this, the FFR event organizers (mainly Layla) decided to place me into Divison 7 because of my etterna scores (that I never expected them to actually be following lol). I am happy to technically *be* in D7 but I still dont really have that much faith in myself to be honest. There's potentially a lot of eyes on me from the community so my only goal is to not to fail the tournament horribly like last time. enough with the long intro though, Stay focused, stay alive boys.



Round 1: Black Lotus [91] (1-0-0-2):

I was getting around 5 goods consistently due to the middle of the file, Then I turned on mirror then settled for this score after 3 tries. The funny part about this is that I have a similar score to Syd07, a D6 player who also got put into D7, but with 1 extra good lol.



Round 2: Deadman DJ [92] (2-0-0-1):

At first, this file seemed intimidating due to the shitty beginning, but actually playing it and getting past the beginning made me realize that the file isnt even that bad. Its just a somewhat generic Venetian Snares breakcore file. It took me 8 tries to get a FC score. Next round.



Round 3: Delirium V2 [95] (8-1-1-8):

This file is a bit special in that it's one of the first files from the dump batch actually to be released onto FFR. Nevertheless, during my first attempts, I thought this file was just a total mess that I couldn't even describe. On my second day of trying, I still hated the file, but I realized that I would've liked the file if I wasn't playing it on FFR or for a tourney for that matter. I would probably enjoy the file for what it is, but playing it on FFR didn't feel good at all. My last attempt was a PB until I fucked it up then did this.

Onto round 4.



Round 4: Labyrinth -Labyrinth Lilith- [96] (11-0-1-1):

dont you just love it when you get your best score on FFR on a tourney file but it doesn't count because you were outside of the short ass 4 day timer to set scores on a file so your bad, damn near unfinished score is the one that gets set. yeah i love that.

fun file though



Round 5: Extratone Pirates (Drunk Optimus Remix) [98] (6-1-2-2):

did this after a skill boosting session on Etterna. Next round.



Round 6: This Is The End of Everything [100] (68-19-19-66)

This file isnt really hard until the ending part 1900 notes in.

I cant write, next round.



Round 7: Finding Her Not [101] (DNF)

I would've finished this round's file if there wasn't this annoying part near the end. I eventually gave up not only because I just couldn't do that part, but life stuff got in the way.



Round 8: Critical.Error [103] (72-2-21-17)

similar situation to Finding Her Not where I was gansta and holding a SDG until the ending part where it got really annoying to try to read and hit, this time though, i actually powered through.



Conclusion:

Division 7 was just a group suffering session lmao

   I kind of felt the same about delirium v2. I didnt really enjoy grinding it. I think it would have been fun in a non tournament setting where grinding it wasnt necessary lol
