I have difficulty doing well on a song I play over and over as well. What I usually try to do is play files in higher difficulty ranges then drop back down to that file. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not. Worth a shot though right?

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Yeah, that's what I try to do, but even then there's usually not much change over the course of the day. That said, third try on Fire got it to a blackflag ^.^ And I still have the rest of the week to work on it. I just need to make sure I practice at least a little every day so I don't get worse.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Yeah I do that too. I usually go to Blue Noah and Blue Army as a warm up after warming up on some 50s. Blue Army is just super invigorating for me to listen and play to.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

I used to play Blue Army like crazy when I was a D2 player haha. Now I get too frustrated because I know I can AAA but always screw up somewhere due to the length of it.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Just played Blue Army, invigorating indeed. It was fun, good practice for streaming (I AAAd all the jumps as always :P). I got close to your score except I got a miss between two big combos. I'll see if I can catch up sometime :P thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah same here, I was playing songs mainly in there 40's-50's but not so much anything higher. When it comes to level 60+ songs I do really bad most of the time, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. Tarrik has me playing them now though and its frustrating as hell, I actually got angry and swore at the game for the first time lol But I am noticing little improvements already so that's always a good thing .-. The worst is playing high level songs and having them as your weaknesses (for me jump stream/jacks/trills) But practice makes perfect so I'll put up with it :|

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Yeah, I tried Fire several times today, mirror and non-mirror, consecutively and with breaks, and it just kept getting worse. Getting a BF again on the first or second try of the day was fairly easy, and I can AAA it if I get enough chances to play.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Thats what gets me every time. Every. Time.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Well Im certainly glad I put in that 4-0-0-0 early on cause it's looking like thats what Im banking on to make it to round 2 :/

Just getting more and more goods as time goes by.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Well I set my autofail to 5 G's and got another clean 4. A step in the right direction perhaps?

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

First try on Fire today was a blackflag yet again, this time on the little orange trill somehow. Bleh. I'll get it eventually.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Didn't take too long to AAA D2 song, sightread blackflag D1 and AAA on 2nd play. Just hoping I can make it to round 4 again in D2 *gulp*

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

I cannot believe I just did this. Finally skillboosting? :D

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Nice :D

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Here's our D1-D3 songs for Round 2

D2 and D3 look pretty darn fun to me

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

Interesting how D1 has hands already in round 2.... D1 will be fun to watch

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

I kept dumping around 10 or so random goods on d2 song until I started fiddling with offset, feels very poorly stepped to me for some reason. Apparently only in my head ^.^

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

I think it was stepped great, but the sync is off. But im glad Im not the only one who thinks this. It's off by only like 2 frames or something, but its enough right?

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

I mainly mean the off-sync feel I get, yeah, but playing 30 or so games with totally random goods at any time made me sort of hate the entire file. :P

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Divisions 1, 2, & 3 Discussion Thread
 

AJ checked the sync on all the files, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. Plus Silvuh himself is like a sync master.

Edit: Just gave it a play and it plays fine on my end, but this is why we have offsets now. Seems sync can be different for people.
