Re: How to get better at FFR
What helps for me is to just pick a song that you like and that you can get really in to. If you can get in to the song then you're more likely to do better.
Also to pick out a few songs in advance and listen to them a few times before you actually play them. That helps, too. |

Re: How to get better at FFR
I found I got better by trying to fc all the level 1 songs, then the level 2's then 3's and so on. The songs get harder, and they have different step combinations and speeds which help when you reach the harder songs.
I also find it easier to read the song when the arrows run down, not up. |

Re: How to get better at FFR
Get Stepmania and turn on Marvelous :P It helps with accuracy a lot, since the standards are a bit higher, so when you move back to FFR your PA will be even better.

Re: How to get better at FFR
Turn up the justice you mean? Like go in the machine options in the settings and turn up the justice level, right?

Re: How to get better at FFR
Nah, you don't even need to turn up the judge level. There's a setting somewhere in Stepmania to turn on Marvelous timing for all songs; Marvelous has half the timing window of Perfect, so you get a better sense for how close you're really hitting the notes. (In DDR, Marvelous timing was typically only used when you played on Challenge difficulty, and Stepmania emulates that unless you tell it not to.) People who are much better at Stepmania than I am have told me that the best way to improve PA is to improve MA (Marvelous Attack), so having that extra level of scoring will definitely help you get more accurate overall (since what constitutes a Perfect in FFR is actually a rather wide range). If I remember correctly, Stepmania's Perfect window is a little bit narrower than FFR's too, so if you can AAA a song on Stepmania you should have a slightly easier time AAAing a similar song on FFR.
Of course, if this isn't enough, turning up the judge to 7 (halving the timing window of everything) or installing Ridiculous timing (Ridiculous has half the timing window of Marvelous) can be useful for Stepmania players, but this level of accuracy won't really affect your FFR scores since FFR is all about PA.

Re: How to get better at FFR
I tried cutting my screen before I read this, but it doesn't work for me, I think it just works for most people, I'd say, & my friend told me it's really helpful for people who play x1, when I play 1.75x

Re: How to get better at FFR
you can change the keys, you can go on godnick's training thingy, you can practice, you can do a really hard but passible song (in your opinion) and just keep doing it until you pass it with ease, work your way up through songs. but in the end all this has to do with playing right?. heh so just paly and have fun aka...practice and have fun
ANYWAYS! Have a nice day Master TAnK Evans |

Re: How to get better at FFR
Personally, I think that using two hands is easier. I used to play with one hand when I started playing FFR, but I started to use two hands when the songs got faster because my hand would always get tired haha.
But that's just my preference. Use what ever feels right to you. Last edited by tangomango; 06-11-2008 at 09:36 PM.. |

Re: How to get better at FFR
I totally agree with the 2 handed thing. I find it much, much easier. I also played with one hand when I started. I switched because I just couldn't keep a combo, even on FBO songs. But yeah, keymap and see what personally feels right to you.

Re: How to get better at FFR
at first i played 1 handed and i had fun switching hands and i did really well...but when songs started hitting standard i notice that my one hand could not keep up very well lol and my hand started to get rather sore from all that moving around so i switched 2 hands and I'm telling ya i am doing much better heh....i have a hard time picturing one hand doing a guru only song lol its kinda funny picturing a hand moving that fast in my head though...TWO HANDS!
You will like it i hope ^_^ Master TAnK Evans Have a great day |

Re: How to get better at FFR
depends, if your 1 hand you will obv. be better than everyone else
because of how hard it is to stay a 1 hand. and when you master the songs you'll be guru in no time while 2 hands have trouble with some songs if your spread your gonna have trouble with up down and left right combos like on Max Forever, and if your index your gonna have trouble on repeating arrows sometime. and 1 hand shouldn't have trouble with it since they will be exp. enough |
