I don't get it.
 

I've been playing a ton of stepmania lately, and i'm doing pretty good for me.
I have Hayden's Epidermis, and i can get 98xx on it, but whenever i try it on ffr, it seems like i can't even keep a combo of 100. I know framers and whatnot, but is it just ffr in general?

Re: I don't get it.
 

heres the difference...all of sm is off beat ffr is not

Re: I don't get it.
 

you got it mixed up there bud.

Re: I don't get it.
 

Cloud0005, StepMania is more on-beat than FFR (unless your computer is absolute crap) because FFR is a browser-based flash game, flash lags easily.
I don't know why for some people (including myself) the skill level gap between SM and FFR is so large. For example, I'm actually pretty decent at FFR... kinda (lol), but I absolutely suck wild at SM.

Edit: Hey look. 699 posts. I need to go spam something. XD

xD
it's the opposite for me man.
i feel like i'm really good at sm, like not godly like a lot of people that go here, but i'm only decent at ffr.

Re: I don't get it.
 

I'm about 50/50 with FFR/SM.
You probably just have to get used to FFR more?
I do feel better at SM though, so my calculations may be wrong.

Re: I don't get it.
 

SM is very different. On a song like Epidermis that has quite a few framers if you get use to hitting later in the timing window for perfects you can average miss alot easier

Re: I don't get it.
 

yeah, in the original post i stated this, but even where there are not framers, i manage to randomly lose my combo.

and it's not lag.

Re: I don't get it.
 

Probley because you play SM a lot more than FFR.
I barley play SM at ALL anymore.
I just played today for the first time in about a month and I can barley get a 300+ combo on files that would be VCish yet I can get about a 600 combo to a FC on most VC songs on FFR.
Play FFR more and I'm sure you will do better.

:/
it'll be frustrating to get good at it though.
does anybody know when the no-framer update is going to be put into action?

Re: I don't get it.
 

become a suscriber cuz it is already active for suscribers

or wait a month or two

Re: I don't get it.
 

My combo and PA is better on SM... That's why I prefer SM.

Re: I don't get it.
 

I play SM more often, and I notice that my overall ffr skills have declined
though if i am having a good try at a song, i tend to not screw up.

Re: I don't get it.
 

If you only play SM and don't practice at all at FFR you might not do as good. Also, ironic as it may seem, depending on what your Judge is on SM, FFR can be almost too easy for you, thus, making you screw up.

Re: I don't get it.
 

Care to give us some proof? and plus not ALL SM songs are offbeat there are some that are absolutely wonderful.

Re: I don't get it.
 

FFR has 800+ songs, most which are in sync, I see no reason to play SM. :D

Re: I don't get it.
 

I'm good............................. at both I suppose. :/

Re: I don't get it.
 

Phynx, seriously, is there ANYTHING you aren't just an absolute god at?

Re: I don't get it.
 

FFR is choppy because of flash. End of story.

Re: I don't get it.
 

Please stop posting in general. Most of your posts/threads are senseless trash.
