THIS…. IS….. F. F. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – 300th FFR Song
With good reason too. Halt the presses, because this is a special public release! A break from the challenges of skill token month. To give you…. the GREATEST song of all time (well, 2nd. Next to TMWT.)
Created way back before I was even a member of this site…. sitting away in the back of NestleKwik’s hard drive, gathering dust…. was the song that made FFR famous. Immortalized for history, by the one… the only… Excluded. The song is so powerful, it’s only name is FFR.
For such a glorious song, we needed to have a glorious way to unveil it. We considered waiting all the way until November, for the site’s 5 year anniversary. BUT THAT WAS TOO LONG! We had to give the people what they wanted. So, after weeks of torturous thinking, it finally dawned on me. We would release this masterpiece as Flash Flash Revolution’s 300th song. At 3:00pm Central. On July THIRD. An alignment of the threes, possibly unlocking the triforce or the triumvirate. I only hope that we know what we’re doing.
My words can not give this song or file justice, so I will let all of you judge for yourselves. It can be found in the upper left hand corner of Misc. The file is by jimerax, and is the greatest chart ever released upon the public. I have heard rumors of better files by the great masters themselves…. but they were so powerful, they knew they could not be placed upon the simfile database, for fear of what might happen.
Without further ado…. go play!

SOTW News Update (First week of June) – Music by Cranky and Banzai
Friday’s song is J219 (Ura-Rokkou Mix), a cool sounding eurobeat/rave song by Cranky. Cyanite stepped this file, and he stepped it with the correct difficulty and everything. It’s a 4/6 in difficulty (Very Difficult) It has some jumpstream, some 24th bursts, 24th gallops and a lot of other stuff. The music won’t keep you bored when playing this, and the simfile shouldn’t either.
Today’s song is another well known song from the game “In The Groove”. It’s Zodiac, one of two songs made by Banzai that appear on the first In The Groove game. It’s another nice simfile created by dore. It’s easy for the most part. Slow 16th gallops and stream. The only hard part of the file is a small 32nd stream in the middle. That’s why we rate it a 3/6 (Tricky)
Enjoy these two songs
SOTW – 4th Week of May
Friday’s song is one stepped by Jimerax and is entitled Expedite. The artist is xTrance, I don’t know anything else about that. The simfile is rated Tricky (3/6), so it’s fairly easy to score well on. The first ~220 arrows of the simfile shouldn’t be a problem at all but once you pass 220 combo you’ll run into the real difficulty of the file. It’s got a lot of 16th action near the end but it’s not that fast of a bpm.
Today’s song is another one of my simfiles, but this one is different than all of my others. This one is actually easy!!! MY GOD REBIRTH MADE AN EASY SIMFILE! I realize I’ve made a TON of simfiles rated Very Difficult and higher, and absolutely zero that are easier than Difficult. It’s time to change that, I’ll start making some easy simfiles along with my more difficult ones. I’ll start with Lesson. It’s an easy and gentle piano song made by Kil. A good fraction of the file is just a bunch of 4th jumps that are spread throughout the file, but it has quite a few little 12th note streams to make it more fun. This one is rated Standard (2.5)
Over the last few weeks we’ve mainly been adding harder songs to the game. Giving the experts more fun but leaving the newbies to sit crying and waiting for easier simfiles to play. Well, starting now we’ll be releasing some easier simfiles for a couple weeks to make up for this. So don’t expect a huge challenge out of the SOTWs for the next couple weeks.
Have fun,
SotW (4th week of April), Cash Cow and Divinity

We have 2 songs this time, and 1 skill token song related one of those songs.
SotW #1 of this week is Fig Leaf Rag.
This song is composed by Scott Joplin, performed by Benjamin Robert Tubb.
1st song by S. Joplin / B. R. Tubb on FFR was Maple Leaf Rag, and this is the 2nd song.
Steps are by pokelda. It has slow 16th short streams with jumps as well as Maple Leaf Rag,
but has some more tricky patterns so it’s harder to keep combo.
Difficulty rating is 4.5/6 (Challenging), I think it’s still 4/6 though.
You can currently find this song in Funk section.
SotW #2 is Dazzling Soul, speedy song.
It’s the first Oster Project’s song publically released on FFR. Oster has so many cool variety
of songs on muzie page and we have blanket, Check it out. Steps are by hi19hi19.
BPM(165) is semi-fast, has many doubles and some 24ths.. so it’s a quite challenging song.
Difficulty rating is high 4.5/6 (Challenging), let’s try to FC(full combo) this and prove your skill!
This song is currently in Funk section.
And.. another skill token song is Dazzling Destiny, arranged version of Dazzling Soul.
Sub-title of this song is “Advanced Soul”, so it’s a kind of.. advanced version.
Song is of course by Oster Project, Steps are by Kit-.
BPM(170) is a bit faster, and has more bursts so in my opinion it’s harder than Dazzling Soul,
especially harder to hit bursts accurately. Difficulty Rating is 5/6 (Very Challenging).
You need to FC Dazzling Soul to play this song.
