Any tips for that? I tried shrinking my screen and stuff but it doesn't help. I been practicing the same song for like 10 days now and have only managed to get passed the certain hard bit like 5 times. It just confuses me to a point where i just give up

just remember not to play songs that are too hard for you
but if you want to...don't button mash, if need be when the arrows are going really fast and your hand(s) can't move fast enough, just concentrate on certain rows...like just the left and down arrows, yea you could miss a lot, but it can be better than a big combination of boos and misses, you won't mash, and it can help you get used to the rest...idno if you understand that

Only hit one out of every two arrows. So on 16th streams, just hit red and blue arrows, treat the yellow arrows like the mines in stepmania.

EDIT: This is what I used to do, and it made me feel like I was cheating. So try not to use this all the time.

Well, that works for passing, but in the end its better to get practice hitting all of the arrows.

For some reason, they are the easiest in my opinion. I couldnt play up arrows worth a s**t, so I switch to down arrows and it was way easier

GL Enjoy =D

I just came back to ffr today and i can get nearly a perfect score on super mario bos. remix lol. I tried an easy level, i lost XD. I've been on for about 4 hours just playing the sonic final stage song over and over (i like the arcade songs, they remind me of the old generation games). any help would be appreciated.

how do you do that screen shrinking thing?

[Doug31]

You unmaximize the window, then shrink it so you can't see anything below around the middle of the screen you play on.

[Blue_eyed_jessica]

does that work for AOL users? still doesnt make much sense...

[link583]

I believe this is what they mean by screen shrinking (perhaps shrinking it even more than I did):

[Blue_eyed_jessica]

wow really I dont see how that would help play, looks like it would even make it harder but ppl r saying it helps a lot

[link583]

Yeah, making it harder's the whole point That's how you get better just a little bit faster. Helps with reflexes, I imagine. Never played that way, I use speed mods in StepMania for that.
