Hello FFR Community

Cristlegurl · 12-6-2008, 06:56 AM

Hello. I'm new here, and I like what I've seen so far. As you can see by my stats, I kind of suck, but I'm willing to accept help from anyone. No, I have not played SM. I am a one-hander. What difficulty of songs should I play?

Welcome to FFR. As it's quite early in the morning you probably won't get many more replies for a few hours.

sounds about right

i suggest playing easier songs for now since you're just starting out

dance 1 is a great place to practice since the majority of the genre has songs that you'd be capable of doing without much mashing

oh and

Play as far up as you can comfortably read (look in the lower right corner at the number of curly brackets, 1 easiest 12 hardest). You can use a speedmod in the options to space out the arrows; set that as high as you can comfortably read as well.

Cristlegurl · 12-6-2008, 07:46 AM

It seems that I can read to about 8 or 9. I can pass 12, but I can't read it very good. I've been using 1.0 speed for the songs so far, but I'll try the speedmods and see what I get.

**Patashu** · 12-6-2008, 07:51 AM

Passing 12s one-handed? If you're basically just mashing at a consistent pace throughout them yeah don't do that yet.

edit: note that ffr is reaalllly forgiving (a single perfect recovers as much life as a boo or miss takes away) so you can pass things that are well above your skill level, it's getting a good score that counts

**TwilightPrincess** · 12-6-2008, 09:04 AM

Welcome to the community, Cristlegurl. We appreciate having you here... And we also look forward to seeing you around.

Hello!

Welcome!

Cristlegurl · 12-6-2008, 06:35 PM

for the 12's i mash when there are a lot of notes and play normally if the difficulty falls below the challenging mark. Who named the difficulties anyway? They are noobs...

What qualifies as a "good score"?

**EAGAMES** · 12-6-2008, 06:39 PM

Welcome to FFR. Read the stickies, like this one that's extremely important one. *click*

A good score varies. For example, I qualify a good score to be a ~AAA, or PFC (Perfect Full Combo) on a FMOs (For Masters Only = 11 in difficulty), while others think that's ridiculous. A good score depends on the viewer.

the difficulties were named ages ago and haven't been changed since

for most songs: no misses, few or no boos/averages

it's all relative though

**Tasselfoot** · 12-6-2008, 10:05 PM

noob? *cry* even though I didn't name them. Synth did, back in early 2003. They aren't THAT bad... oh well.

**MikeShinoda12345** · 12-6-2008, 10:37 PM

Lol, tass. The "Difficult" for the difficulty 7 songs are a little stretched, anyway.

Tater Tot · 12-7-2008, 12:07 AM

You should really try and avoid mashing, and work your way up the skill ladder. Welcome to the rest of your life by the way.

Welcome to FFRs, you.

Cristlegurl · 12-7-2008, 07:41 AM

I still don't know if I should try challenging... THe name seems a bit scary for a newcomer. Here is a replay of mine. I have FC'ed one challenging sightread, but that is because the song (wild sky) should be a vd anyway.

Thanks for just shooting down my one challenging AAA.

Cristlegurl · 12-8-2008, 01:47 AM

Hmmm, maybe I should post this instead.

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...legurl/replay/

All the games I play are on mp. I've only played one singleplayer game.

Edit: Please just say the difficulty I should play, and not if I suck. I know I do. So please, just stick to the useful things. I might switch to two handed sometime, but one hand is comfortable to me for right now. However, I switched the spped. I don't play on 1.0 anymore, I play on 1.5.

**Patashu** · 12-8-2008, 03:12 AM

just looking at one replay (infinity 301) you seem to be hitting a little early most of the time

edit: yeah I see you getting early goods in really slow stuff. Drop down a few difficulty levels, hammer out your timing to the point where you can AAA easy songs then feel free to move back up

Cristlegurl · 12-8-2008, 04:53 AM

Would it work if I just changed the speed up again to 1.75? I dislike the TOO easy songs...
