SotW, Official Tournament & Difficulty Update~
So a few things to talk about once again. Song of the Week, some official tournament stuff and lastly a bit of a pointer regarding some of the confusion regarding the new difficulty system!
So without any delay, here are this weeks songs.
EDIT: Crowdpleaser v2 is fixed!!! Scores now recording as normal~
[Jun 23 Released Songs]

To unlock Crowdpleaser v2, simply pass Crowdpleaser with double digit goods, double digit averages, double digit misses AND double digit boos. (sound like a mouthful?) We’re also proud to welcome Tidus810 to our ever-growing family of FFR Step Artists, hopefully we’ll see more charts from him in the future.
The Veteran’s song from last week is now publicly available.
Nix-Tek by Fighter X (kommisar) – Master 70[16] / 2:14 / Arcade / Chiptronica
Let us know what you think about this release and any problems in the SotW thread~
So, on to the 7th Official Tournament!! We have over 700 players signed up this year already!!
Sign-ups are still open till 11:59:59PM on Saturday, 30th June. So get in fast!
There is also an Official Thread to ask questions in, and also contains the details of the start dates and massive prizepool including 9 million+ credits!! (click the image above to register~)
And before I leave you to your arrow-smashing for the coming week, there is an issue I’d like to address.
It seems that a lot of users are complaining about the way the 1-99 difficulties look in the engine, so I’d like to point out that there is a way to toggle between views.
- First open up your engine and click on settings
- Then check the ‘On’ next to “Use low difficulties”.
Note: Sometimes this won’t jump into effect until you’ve played a song, but next time you look in your song list/genres, they will be displayed in the 1-20 scale!
//takes a deep breath
Okay! So now that we have all of those things cleared up, enjoy the release this week and get practicing for the tournament!!

So put some words down with your opinions on this weeks release in this weeks thread.
On a side-note, you may notice we’ve started using the new terms/difficulty system on the front page. If you aren’t sure how this all works, take a look at the new difficulties sticky in the difficulty subforum. Also keep your eyes peeled for the 7th Official Tournament registrations~
~nois-or-e and the FFR Staff
Hang in there~
Apologies for the delay on SotW, rest assured we have the songs ready and waiting in-game. Tournament Registrations will open for the 7th Official tournament within the next 24hrs. Just waiting on a few little details on each to make the full announcements.
Thanks for your patience guys!
(and before it is mentioned, yes this update is going to touch on last weeks release that was missed due to difficulty system changes/work)
New Difficulty System Update~
Sup guys, just giving you the heads-up. I’ll be messing with the difficulties over the next day or so, so if you start to see some random errors or songs with horribly odd difficulty numbers, just try to ignore it for the meantime. There are some engine changes being made, and almost every file in-game is going to be re-ordered within its genre in the engine, as well as having a new difficulty assigned to it. This is a massive task with there being approx. 1300~ songs on FFR. So I am asking you all to be patient, and wait to see how it all turns out in a few days.
Thanks in advance everyone!!

New Difficulty System Name Suggestions.
Hi there~
As some people may be aware, there has been a new difficulty system developing in the background and it should (hopefully) be in place as early as mid next week! One of the less important challenges has been creating titles for each difficulty while maintaining unique acronyms for each.
What I would like to do is take suggestions from players regarding the final names of these difficulties. So head on over to the thread and let me know what you’d like to see changed/kept, thoughts both ways are important. Be sure to read the first post, as I will be disregarding suggestions that do not follow suit.
You can locate the thread here in the difficulty subforum. Thanks for your time, and keep banging those keys!!
Songs of the Week (May 18, 2012)
Hello again arrow smashers!! Another new week, and another new handful of new songs for your rhythm gaming needs~
Straight out of the gates we have a low Challenging chart from Veteran step-artist bmah in the form of New Windy Paradise by BELUGA. This short New Age track with its flowing steps and funky melodies is a pleasant addition to bmahs 60+ charts already in game.
Video Out B is our second song for this week and also a brand new skill token. To unlock who_cares973 rendition of this Vospi track from his ‘Video Out __’ series, simply pass its namesake Video Out A with a ‘B’ Grade. One can only speculate when someone will come along and step Video out C & D 
Doormouse is third up with a crazy mash-up of multi-’core’ goodness from his 2002 album Freaked out mess. The song is Face in the Gutter and is stepped by one of our pro keymashers AlexDest. This will see Doormouse’s 2nd song and Alex’s 4th chart on FFR, hopefully with many more to come from both parties.
Another contender for a skill token this week was this V2 stepped by trumaestro. Trisection V2 is a much needed re-stepping of the classic easy FFR chart that has graced many peoples AAA counts since 2007, but be warned: this is no walk in the park. This classic Rock song is going to test many players with its constant jump jacks and fast paced guitar solos. This isn’t a Skill Token, but it will cost you 3250 credits to purchase at the FFR Shop.
Wrapping up this weeks releases is our Veteran song Banned Forever, a mini marathon stepped by kjwkjw. This fun filled Renard track clocks in at just under 4 minutes and most definitely takes you on a journey with just over 2000 notes of keyboard smacking fun. Like all veteran songs, this song will be publicly available in one week for non Veterans to play.
[May 18th Released Songs]
New Windy Paradise by BELUGA (bmah) – Dance (New Age Acoustic) / Challenging / 2:18
Video Out B by Vospi (who_cares973) –Skill Token (Acid Drum’n Bass) / Challenging / 1:42
Face in the Gutter by Doormouse (AlexDest) – Dance 2 (Noizecore) / For Masters Only / 2:40
Trisection V2 by Glome & Hiroshi Sakimoto (trumaestro) – Purchased [3,250 credits] (Hard Rock) / For Masters Only / 2:29
Banned Forever by Renard (kjwkjw) – Misc (Breakcore) / For Masters Only / 3:36
Last weeks Veteran song is now public:
Faint Breath by TC_Halogen (TC_Halogen) – Dance 2 (Trance) / For Masters Only / 2:50
Drop in to the thread to let everyone know what you think. On that note, enjoy your week and I shall bring forth more details of the upcoming Difficulty system changes and Official Tournament registrations later on in the week.
