SPECIAL BATCH [May]: Hard Song Special Batch

[TC_Halogen]

Hard Song Special Batch [May]

On account of the 10th official FFR Tournament being in the works, a batch catered to higher-level submissions will be opened to help fill appropriate slots.

PLEASE READ ANYTHING IN RED, AS IT IS IMPORTANT.

Submissions are open for this batch NOW, and will remain open until May 31st. Unlike previous hard song batches, this batch is SAP dependent -- therefore, your cap will be applied. This will allow our more prominent simfile artists to submit more content for potential inclusion.

All submissions need to be sent as a .zip/.rar file to specialsubmissions@gmail.com.

I will not check the other batch e-mails; if your file is present in the other e-mail, it will not be retrieved for this batch. Any brand new files submitted to FFR in the month of May ending up in the regular submission e-mail MUST BE LABELED AS [Mar/Apr] if they are being sent due to the extension. Files sent to the regular e-mail May 15th or later will be ignored. (Fixes can still be sent to the appropriate e-mail as labeled on the queue/batch discussion thread.)

Submission rules for this batch:
- Files need to be at least 72 in difficulty (in the middle of the For Masters Only difficulty) [1-99 scale], preferably higher up the scale. If I feel like this file has no potential to reach that difficulty scale, it will be removed prior to being sent to judges.

- This hard song batch only encompasses half of a batch period; files sent in June will NOT be part of the hard song batch, but they will reduce your SAP for the May/June period! Quoted from the Queue/Batch discussion thread:

Maximum number of files you can submit in a period (2 months):
(1)Jan-Feb, (2)Mar-Apr, (3)May-Jun, (4)Jul-Aug, (5)Sep-Oct, (6)Nov-Dec

- Acceptance cutoff for this batch will be 6.7, with the same rating adjustments applied as normal.

- There is no resubmission system for songs that are used for this batch.

- THERE IS A BOUNTY FOR SONGS USED ON THE MONSTERCAT LABEL. REFER TO THE FRONT PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Judges
(to be determined)

What's the point?

If you have a hard file in the other batch, I would assume then it would have the same type of judges so.........

Pretty much this.

Being that the other batch will stay open for extra time, I will allow it. However, you must clearly tell me exactly what files are being switched in/out for what. If you simply tell me that you're moving x file to a hard batch without telling me that y file is being moved to the regular batch, I will not do it, and you MUST tell me in the other thread as well.

Charu: the reason why people might want this to happen is likely because a person has easier files ineligible for the hard song batch that can be switched out for files sent to the regular batch that ARE of difficulty for the hard song batch.

[Charu]

Well that's one way, but I was directing my question towards rCaliber, haha, sorry about that!

I'd just assume this is for people who have hard stuff stowed away and don't want to send them in the regular batch.

[L.B.D.D]

so like if my cap is 4 and if i send 2 to regular batch

i can only send 2 here ?

[Wayward Vagabond]

So are sap points done based on each individual batch submission or is it joined?

Like if I submit 5 files to the regular batch am I still able to submit another 5 files to the hard batch and monster batch?

[VisD]

This hard batch is the Monster batch but otherwise yeah from what I understood

PS Monster batch is a great name. Can we get a rename on this please and tyvm

[NeonSM]

Im going to repost
Venetian Snares- Bebikukorica Nigiri
should be able to finish by the end of May.

[TC_Halogen]

Made a change to the OP:

Any brand new files submitted to FFR in the month of May ending up in the regular submission e-mail MUST BE LABELED AS [Mar/Apr] if they are being sent due to the extension. Files sent to the regular e-mail May 15th or later will be ignored.

I sent Firstaidvision to regularffrsubmissions on April 13th and that file is more suited for the hard songs batch. Should I resend to specialsubmissions?

Lettuce Regulation is for the regular March/April period which is extended, but that email was sent before the labeling notice. It's not labeled as Mar/Apr

That's no problem; I can label it myself. Thanks for asking me, that was a pretty dumb oversight on my part.

YES



pls

Honestly, looking through all my files, the irony for me is that this hard songs batch is likely to have easier files than I've submitted in the past few batches.
All my Reizoko Cj files as well as You Time and some others have been 90+ files, up to 97 or so. So I might focus more on the FMO/low FGO range for the hard songs batch.
That's just how it goes.

Also, if I wind up having time after finals I might try to finish up some old collabs that I've been neglecting (Intrusion, Robotomy) we'll see. I might have a job starting the day after my last final which would sorta kill all my time to collab >_<

If you have any files that are ineligible in difficulty for this batch that can be switched out with eligible files in the other batch, feel free to switch them, just be sure you clearly let me know what's being switched in and out.

Also, your You Time is 90+? I was stepping that too but goddamn I didn't think it would even be feasible to just chart the 32nd note chips, haha.

I might take that liberty with /a/ which I submitted for the Mar-April batch. The other four files are fine as they are. I'll let you know extremely specifically once I finish working on my hard song batch files (probably in a few weeks)

Might be pushing it with 90+, I'm not that great at telling difficulties at the high end. Maybe 88-89, I guess I can confidently say 85+. And the Reizoko Cj files are 90+ for sure lol
I can get an A on it, the bursts aren't that hard to read, but I imagine they are pretty brutal to PA... I went pretty hard with the 32nds. I can send you the file, I think you'll like it.

[I like it]
