The way I practice is playing the song over and over until you get it right

wt? first off, i dont understand your reasoning for saying this, and second, isnt it the same as turning hyperspeed on?
You are suppose to un-maximize your browser window, and the drag the bottom part of the screen up until you can only see half of the FFR game window. Therefore, you can work on getting better reflexes, and you're eyes won't get screwed up by watching a page-full of arrows, instead focusing on the arrows that you are about to hit. If you are going to do this, I'd suggest playing with a 1.0x speed mod or 1.25x at the most, because combining the two can get pretty hard. Starting out slow, and building up you're reaction time is the way to go

try playing on 1.25 or 1.50x speed, when you play on 1x speed you see lots of arrows and start panicking, but on 1.25 - 1.50x you only see less and therefore play better

my advice is to start out on stepmania, due to the unlimited variety of songs and difficulty, then work your way up, and when you get better come back to flash flash, its a much more difficult game.
oh, and always push your limits, if you fail at a song, try and try again, when you pass work onto other songs, don't memorize, just play and go with the flow

steriod injections in your fingers. You'll AAA Pants.

Seriously, just play some songs that are 1 above your difficulty lvl.

Need help determining my way of lvl?
If you can full combo "very easy" songs = easy/standard
If you can full combo "easy" songs = give Standard/Tricky a shot
If you can full combo "standard" songs = try Tricky/Difficult
If you can full combo "tricky" songs = Difficult/Very Difficult(from Dance 1)
If you can full combo "difficult" songs = Very Difficult(dance 2)
If you can full combo "Very Difficult" songs = go for Challenging
If you can Full combo "Challenging" songs = Very Challenging/For Masters Only
If you can Full combo "Very Challenging" songs = then I don't know what you should do xD

Alternatively, You could set goals for yourself, Me, I'm trying to get 100 tier points(it will be a while xD)
But yeah, practice practice practice. I can not stress this enough. A good friend of mine has played for 2 years and still can't beat me(sad xD)

I assume somewhere, in some forum I never go to, you can actually post without finding some way to brag about some score you got

Ye I tried cuttig the screen in half... it helps, but... I prefer to do it my way:

RAISE THE SPEED TO 1.5x!!!

OMFG no joke, once I did that, I was FCing ALL SORTS of songs!!! The first time I did it I was just looking for a challenge. But it because EASIER!!! Hell, I can't even play on 1.0x anymore because I'm so used to 1.5x. lol

But I don't think this trick will be nice on new players. I was doing Difficult songs with ease, and after I tried putting the speed on 1.5x, I'm doing Very Challenging (except the Jump Stream ones lol).

Anyways, if you haven't tried this, have a go at it.

BTW I don't think this trick works with cutting the screen in half. xD

Not being an arse or anything but putting the speed up to 1.5x isn't a trick... its a mod. But yer, a lot of people play using 1.5x and a lot of the old school players use 1x screencut, i occasionally use 1.5x screencut.

I like the arrows coming down, so screen cut doesn't work. But my positioning of fingers is a good one ^.^

Speeds helped for me. Don't do too much speed for levels you haven't done yet; you may not be expecting a real easy level. 1.50-1.75 is a good speed to practice on and the faster you play at it, the better you'll be at hand-eye coordination anndddddd reflexes
