2 Otaku’s and 3 Rings – #47, #48, #49
So, you guys are in for a treat. Sort of. You get the chance to unlock THREE songs tonight (no, there will not be 1 tomorrow. there will still be 2 every day for the rest of the month.) The catch, you ask? 2 of the 3 are REALLY REALLY hard to unlock. Including one so hard that it is the 1st requirement that I am unable to unlock myself.
Otaku Speedvibe is a crazy Hardcore Gabba song by DJ Sharpnel alias Neon Genesis Gabbangelion. The story behind this dual release, and file, is that hi19hi19 stepped a crazy ass version of this and submitted it to Shash and me for consideration. We said it was way overstepped, and he needed to tone it down. So he did, and we accepted it. But, he still kept his crazy version in the dwi for us to have. Then, Shash comes to me and says, “Tass, we need at least 1 retardedly hard skill token. Just 1.” So, I’m like…. ok, sure. Why not? Anyway, we decided to use hi19′s Otaku file for it. Only… I go to test it today, and it’s mad easy. And I’m like, “Crap. We can’t have this easy song as the unlockable for the crazy retardedly hard skill token…. LETS RELEASE THIS WITH AN EASIER REQ, AND USE THE UBER OVERSTEPPED VERSION FOR THE CRAZY REQ!” So, that is what I did. Both versions, Otaku Speedvibe [Heavy] and Otaku Speedvibe [Oni] are fairly identical files, just that Oni has a bunch of 212bpm 32nd rolls and 212bpm 16th jumpstream, while Heavy does not. Which is why I classified them as Heavy and Oni, as opposed to v1 and v2. Heavy has about 140 4-framers, and is a fairly challenging 10/12. Oni has 2 3-framers and around 220 4-framers… the 32nd rolls are by far the hardest part of the file. So much so that I’ve rated the Oni version 12/12, For Guru’s Only.
The unlocks for both are quite challenging. I refer you to this thread on FFR Difficulties, for your reference. To unlock Heavy, you must AAA one of the files listed as a “65″, aka… one of: Seven, the Brain of the Moon, Famouz, The Games We Played Part 4, Video Out A, Evil Approaches, Ruins, Amefuri Koneko, or Tribal Transcendency. For those who are observant, you’ll notice that Exciting Hyper Highspeed Star v2 is not on that list, despite being a 65. I decided to not include Tokens or Skill Tokens for the unlock req. So, you have 9 songs to choose from, and you have to AAA 1 of them.
The unlock for Oni is even harder. You have to AAA one of the For Masters Only songs. Silence, Vertex BETA, Sympathizer, k8107, Balloon Fever, Turkish March, HELLBEAT, Rottel-da-Station, Lawn Wake IV, Flight of the Bumblebee, Strangeprogram, AIM Anthem, BB Evolution, or Exciting Hyper Highspeed Star. And so you know… only 13 people have ever done it: Shashakiro (9: silence, vertex, sympathizer, k8107, balloon fever, hellbeat, lawn wake iv, fotbb, ehhs), darkshark (5: silence, vertex, k8107, balloon fever, fotbb), smartdude1212 (3: vertex, hellbeat, fotbb), danceguy117 (3: vertex, balloon fever, hellbeat), jimerax (2: silence, k8107), dynam0 (2: silence, balloon fever), skeleton-gotw (2: vertex, hellbeat), xxxsmittyxxx (2: vertex, sympathizer), cetaka (2: k8107, ehhs), bill_clinton (2: k8107, balloon fever), bahamut-x (2: balloon fever, ehhs), scottish (1: fotbb), and ledwix (1: k8107) AND, 5 of the 14 songs have never been AAAd (Turkish, Rottel, SP, AIM, and Evo)
MY NOTE TO THOSE CAPABLE OF GETTING THIS TOKEN…. PLEASE DO NOT SEND OUT CHALLENGES ON IT! YOU EARNED IT, NOT THE RANDOM PERSON YOU SEND A CHALLENGE TO ON IT! Also, any clearly fake AAA score who gets the token will get their account banned, have their scores wiped, and have their stats set to negative numbers.
And then to counter the 2 really really hard tokens, I give you a really really easy token. Three Ring Nightfall is a remix of the Casino Night Zone from the game Sonic 3 & Knuckles. This remix comes from Haydn, and is part of Project Chaos, a group working to put out a remix cd of music all from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Stepfile is by Neonatrias. I rated it a 6 for its 5 note trills at 120bpm, which is the hardest part of the file. It is a bit long, at a shade over 3 minutes. I hope you enjoy this circus-esque mix based off of my favorite Sonic level music. To unlock Three Ring Nightfall…. pass Sonic 1 Final Zone, found in arcade.
Enjoy, and start with the complaining.

Edit: Also congrats to our 2 newest members of the “I can AAA a FMO song”, Reach and Xiaounlimited.
Dance To Moroder & Angel Stays On This Ground – #31 and #32
Dance To Moroder is our 2nd song in game by Joy Electric. It’s a bit down tempo, yet still conveys energy that really does make you want to get up and Dance all the way to Moroder. Except that every time I try and go to Moroder, I wind up in Mordor. I think it is that stupid eye that keeps staring at me. Regardless. File is by jimerax, my main man always willing to do what is asked of him. He’s also the expert on file difficulties, and rated his own file a 4…. but I feel that it is a 5. So we can start the debate now on that subject. If you’d like to play the file to weigh in your input, just pass From Mount Chorus with 15 or less averages. FMC is in Misc.
Angel Stays On This Ground is another non-Vertex song by Silvia to be in game, also by Silver_Brian. The song has a very euro dance feel to it. No offense to Joy Electric, but ASOTG makes me want to Dance to Moroder even more than Dance to Moroder does. I rated the file a 7, but I could see it being a 6 also…. so, more debate. Also, the file kind of ends abruptly, about 2 seconds before the music does. Not really sure why, but that’s that. To unlock ASOTG, play Water Like Pudding. Get EXACTLY 243 perfects on it. 0 goods, 0 averages, 0 misses, 0 boos. I’ll let you guys figure out how to do that.
Enjoy

Chardish edit: Quit your hatin’, Tass, you know you love Joy Electric. How could you not?
Dawn of the Giggles Color. #29 & #30
Sorry for the lateness of the tokens…. but it’s still only 9:30 here on the West Coast. Anyway…
Dawn is another Trance song by Kyle Ward alias KaW. File is by Triplex72, and has the distinction of being in the queue longer than any other song. EVER! (Except July, but that doesn’t count, since I specifically held off on releasing it for a reason. Dawn was just random that it was never released earlier, mostly). So big thanks to Triplex on being so patient on getting his first file in the game. Difficulty is set at an 8, mostly for length. The song is 3:30, bunch of gallops. Unlock req: Get a FC on The Pylons Are TRAP BALLS with at least 546 perfects.
Color of Giggles is a real fun song by sleeplessdragn, one of our in-house music extraordinaires. The song is 200bpm, full of upbeatness. Rated a 10 for its 4-framers, but overall it doesn’t have any long streams; just many long bursts and 8th chains. File is by dAnceguy117, his 2nd. The unlock req is interesting on this one…. Shash came up with it. Your combo must be 5 times greater than your combined total of goods, averages, misses, and boos on Vertex BETA (along with passing it). Aka, a Full Combo (1755) with 200 goods, 100 averages, 0 misses, and 60 boos would NOT unlock it (200+100+60 * 5 = 1800). BUT, a combo of 500 with 20 goods, 20 averages, 20 misses, and 20 boos WOULD unlock it (20+20+20+20 * 5 = 400).
Enjoy! And check back again tomorrow for 2 more Skill Tokens, hopefully earlier in the day.

2 Skill Tokens & An Artist URL Update!
I’ve been busy today… in addition to the 2 skill tokens, I’ve spent most of my morning updating our list of URLs for all of FFRs artists. After all, exposure IS the reason why these bands/artists give us permission. Still missing some, mostly ones from 3+ years ago or japanese artists… so I’m going to rely on you guys to help me out. If you know of a URL for an artist that is currently missing a URL, please PM me the link. You can view all of this information in THREE different places…. The FFR Song List (does not include Secret, Token, or Skill songs), The Genre List (does not include Secret), or you can view the information from each level’s individual levelstats page.
Again… if you know a working URL for one of the bands or artists that I am missing, please PM me the information. As you guys are unable to view the Secret genre songs except individually via their levelstats, the artists from that genre that I’m missing are: Kil, Sampling Masters CHANG, DJ Destruction, DJ Lain, Jordan Neff, DJ RageVI, and DJ Bladerunner. As you can see, I had trouble with people who had DJ in their name.
As for the 2 skill tokens! Heavy Danger is from a popular newsground artist named Manmademusic. Pretty cool sounding song, if you ask me. Little rock-ish, little techno-ish. File is medium difficulty; I listed it as a 7. Made by SulferDragon. All you have to do to unlock it is AAA Free Space, which is found in Dance.
What-ever is our first non-VertexBETA song by Silvia. I’m certainly no expert on music genres (as I’m sure you all know by now), but it has a bit of an epic trance sound to me, at least in the beginning. Anyway, before I continue to show off my lack of musical knowledge, I’ll digress. File is by Silver_Brian and is again of medium difficulty; again rated a 7 by yours truly. To unlock this fun little piece, pass Delirium with a 400+ combo. Delirium is in Dance2.
I think that is about it for now… subscribers can expect a song later tonight. Assuming Kit- is finished sending me updates on it. I think she’s given me about 12 so far. Everyone else can expect a subscriber song to go public some time on Sunday.
-Tass & LD & something that we’ll let you come up with yourself.
EDIT: Thank you to the multiple quick responses… I now have DJ Destruction (who I found, but thought it was the wrong person), Jordan Neff, and DJ RageVI. I have a URL for DJ Lain, but I think it is the wrong person. Also, in case you are lazy… I’m also missing: DJ Kankaoh (kwik, any ideas?), Analog Boy, Chuk & Gek, Good Job Company, Prophecy, Dj GULIT (kwik?), DJ Ascent, The Red Rebel, WipEOut, Braille & J5, Richee, Just Will, F.T.S., D.I. – LVC Producitons, Leroy Watkins Jr, KgZ, Wlokos, AKHT (I know of their 1 page non-english website, but I want something that is actually useful), Excluded (is it the offbeat’s site?), DJ Plaeskool, Sektone, Hiro, Dissonance, DJ Naphouse, beatMARIO, Dan & Jea, Kajmaster Kajet, and Paraoka. That is the FULL list of artist’s I’m missing, minus the ones that clearly don’t have them.
EDIT2: Again, big thanks… still missing: DJ Kankaoh, Analog Boy, Chuk & Gek, Prophecy, Dj GULIT, DJ Ascent, WipEOut, Braille & J5, Richee, D.I. – LVC Productions, Wlokos, AKHT, Excluded, Sektone, Hiro, Dissonance, DJ Naphouse (found out this is our very own FishFishRevolution), and beatMARIO. And I’m sure once Rebirth0 and hi19hi19 see this, half of these will be taken care of.
Say, it’s only a Liquid Moon! #15 of 62
The first person to get this reference in the title and post it in this news story will get 2,000 credits from LD 
I’m back again with your next token! I gotta be quick today, since in about 4 hours there’s gonna be tons of freshmen running around my campus for Orientation!
Today’s song is Liquid Moon, it’s unlocked by Tension, and all you have to do is get 300 or more misses (But keep it under ten boos)! Seems easy enough… I would think
And don’t forget about our new feature, Regional Leaderboards! Check the news story below for more details… oh and token 22 is out somewhere.
Look out for JasonKey later today for your second token, and keep lookin’ for that token!

New Feature: Regional Leaderboards
Even though it was suggested mere days ago, tonight we bring to public release our Regional Leaderboards.
What is it exactly? Well… it’s a list of the top players based on average rank, in several regions based in the USA and around the world. To get on the list, you need to do a few things, in this order…
1. Edit your profile info to select which region fits you best. If you live in the US, we have a map linked from that page that should help you choose which you belong to, if you aren’t in the US, you should be able to figure out from the other regions listed where you belong.
2. Once that’s saved, head on over to your level ranking page, by hitting this page, your stats will automatically be added to your regions leaderboard.
That’s it! If you’re in the top ten, you’ll be able to see your name listed next to your peers… if you’re not in the top ten, you’ll at least get to see your rank added to your “region mates” in terms of the regions average rank.
We’ll be adding a top 50/100 for each individual region in the very near future, once we see how we handle the mass influx of users to the new leaderboards. Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to make it to the top of your region.
If you have any ideas for these leaderboards, post them in this news story.
Thanks!

Just an Average Crow… Song! #14/62
Aren’t I so clever today LD back atcha once again for your second skill token of the day.
For this skill token, being average isn’t so bad! In fact, it’s essential to unlocking Crow Song. In order to do so, you’ll need to get at least 20 more averages than goods and at least 150 more perfects than goods on Noir Remixed. Simple enough, yes?
Be on the lookout for some more goodies later this week, including a few subscriber features going public, and maybe a few more surprises!
Stay tuned, and keep tappin’
