But Retarded Fingers(RF, or FRS) is when you are playing a song and could be going through hard parts and your fingers randomly stop working and you end up missing 1+ arrows. Now it doesnt happen all the time just randomly. Has it ever happened to you?

I'm not sure, but this might've happened to me a few times. On my left hand, the finger to the right of my pinky finger has experienced a few problems. It feels a little "numb" sometimes and tends to sometimes be slow.

I don't know if it's like it's stopping completely or what though. I'm probably not playing songs as difficult as most of the people here.

firefox01 · 08-21-2009, 01:07 AM

well.. what happens to me is when i get to the end of a hard song and i'm about to AAA it, all of the sudden my wrists will move back and fourth spazzingly. I think i need to go see a doctor >_<

Prime8 · 08-21-2009, 01:30 AM

This happens when I'm about to do a pattern or in the middle of a pattern that I normally have trouble with (such as left-handed jacks, right-handed trills, or 13/24/13/24 jumps). It's quite the nuisance.

Trema · 08-21-2009, 03:47 AM

Yeah this happens to me alot like in jumpstreams, I do fine in them but then I hit arrow but miss the other

**qqwref** · 08-21-2009, 03:04 PM

Ugh, yeah, sometimes my fingers are just randomly dumb and I get averages or misses on a pattern I should be able to easily AAA. Once in a while when I'm near the end of a long song with a AAA my fingers start shaking and randomly get a good on a really easy pattern, like a lone 8th note or something... but I don't know if that's me doing it or my fingers just being dumb.

Xx{Midnight}xX · 08-21-2009, 03:43 PM

All the time. Usually happens on Seven and frozen. But you might wanna add missing they key completely into that.

**Darkslave** · 08-21-2009, 04:17 PM

I very rarely have that my finger will just not tap for a note (like once every 100,000 arrows), a single note, and then continue going on as normal, not sure if that's what you mean though. As with most things, it will probably stop happing often when you improve.

ffr is dead

mhss1992 · 08-22-2009, 07:35 AM

Yes. Happens a lot in mental blocks.

**TheSaxRunner05** · 08-22-2009, 09:50 PM

I think it is something physical. I used to get a "spasm" in my legs after about the third straight hour of DDR on heavy. It's like I would tell my legs to move, and they said no. I sometimes get the same feeling in my fingers if I play several hard songs in a row.

c117 · 08-22-2009, 11:44 PM

Not spasms but sometimes when there's a lot of arrows I can't read them at all and I just hope my fingers are subconsciously reacting the right way. It works most of the time but sometimes they go all wonky and I miss everything.

**TC_Pr0** · 08-22-2009, 11:53 PM

I can't read the first seven notes in LW 1. It's so aggravating.

Closest thing to what I was thinking.

**Ghakimx** · 08-23-2009, 04:20 PM

Yes. I easily go "F*** this" with any 16th note stream above 200 bpm. And also, my fingers hate jacks, especially the left arrow ones.

kirjautunut · 08-23-2009, 04:28 PM

random yes

**bubblechamber** · 08-23-2009, 05:04 PM

It happens a lot if I don't get enough sleep.
