Tips & Tricks to Tackling[]
This section may contain some terminology for discussion patterns. Try visiting the FFR Terminology page for help on reading this section.
Story of Snowman and Sunshine Girl is one of the most off-beat song in the entire game. Patterns that were made to be quite simple for its time and era turned so terrible, that it warranted a 2nd release of the song 5 years later as a skill token. The key to winning this song over is nerves of steel and a ton of patience.
By far the hardest part of the song to overcome is the incredibly out of sync long jacks area of the song, that requires to hit one button really fast, at an inconsistent rate. The inconsistency does not match up to the music, and there are 2 sections like this. One near the beginning, and one at the end.
Another issue prevalent in the song is the use of grace notes from early conversions, since people were not allowed to put 2 notes under the same timing. This can lead to some tricky one handed trills that were not meant to be.
As for the 2nd version that was released some time later, it does contain more notes and a couple of faster sections throughout the song, but many widely consider it easier than its counterpart due to it not being ridiculously off-sync. The most you will find is some 8th melodies with jumps, and some fast 16th bursts.
