Default How come when you are playing at 1.25x or 1.5x of speed , you play better?

i used 1.25x and I just FC'd July, if I were to play at 1.00x, I can't even manage to get 200 combos!

How can you play faster and be better??? there's gotta be a cache!!!!

I suppose it's because any speed faster than 1.0X spreads the notes out for you, so you can see rhythms more clearly.

And you have to react faster...so you'll hit them more accurately.

That's not true at all. Some people have naturally faster reaction times than others. Just because you can read 2.5 doesn't mean you are any better than someone who plays 1.5 or 1.75

the notes are spread out further with a higher speedmod so players can see the notes better.

The main thing is that there are less notes on the screen so your brain is processing less information at a time which makes it easier to focus on the important arrows.

Yes, but if I recall correctly, Laggy plays on 2.0 speed, and I know he's better than you.

Well, imagine if there was a 0.25x mod and you could play like that. All the arrows would be so smushed together it'd look like a wall of colour, you'd have no idea when everything is coming. Remember that judgments are based on the time, not the space, that you hit them at; the slower things are, the narrower the 'space' window you can hit perfects in is so the harder it is to read and hit things by sight. The more you space it out the more leniency you're getting, effectively

I can't read well on anything higher than 1.75. Unless it's like 120- BPM then it's a faster mod.

not really

changing the speedmod does not change the chart, at all. you'll still have to hit the same number of notes in the same amount of patterns. it just changes how the chart is presented to you

rofl, I played 1.50 when I started, then 1.75 for about more than a year, then I switched to 2.0x during the summer and improved tremendously.

I switched from 1.5 to 1.75 before the 4th official tournament, ended up doing really well, and I've played 1.75 since. I've been thinking about transitioning to 2.0 to see if that will get me past the slump I've been in lately.

i looked at some of your replays, but it seems you dont play on 2.5 Oo

---

well, all people are different, some are better with speed mods, and some are better without speed mods. just test it out, try the speedmods, and if you think youre getting better, try the next faster speedmod.

i play currently at 2.25x .. i tryd 2.5 but its at the moment a lil bit too fast for me ^^

And you should know just as well as I do that generally speaking, the best players do not use anything higher than 2x on FFR, because that's like C1000. Even top tier players don't play that fast, because frankly, there is no point.

I play 1.75, which is supposed to be C525, but because of the vertical dimension being so small, it's like C600 (my preferred speed). I know for a fact I am better than you, and I assure you I probably play less than you do.

Higher speedmod =/= skill. Think of it like this:



Your skill will deteriorate after a point.
