Tier point help, please?--RL

[Ratchetlombax]

It's just a question, not some pathetic n00b-like manner of asking for the req to be lowered.

Any of the 30 people that have reached it, please help me: I can't reach TP 7 for DP, and I've already racked up my MAX combo to above 1870. Around how high do I need to have it...or should I just make my PA better?

Both may take weeks to obtain, but I'm willing to take the time, so any help is greatly welcomed.

~~RL over and out.

The 7/9 basically makes you FC until the final trill, if I remember correctly.

[Ratchetlombax]

OK, thanks a lot...
Now if I've got this correct, FC till end of first burst is 664c, FC till end of second is 1393, right? Wow, my scores are pathetic...anyway, thanks again.

You need to get at least like 1,800 combo to get 7pts on DP.

[Ratchetlombax]

I did, refer to my first post.

[jimerax]

I said at least, might be more if your PA is bad.

ps - (7) 3,000,000 or higher
just get a score higher than this.

TALK ABOUT A NEWSFLASH.
I've been trying, playing day and night, or, when I have school, the latter exclusively. I've optimized my FFR-playing conditions; my room is hermetically sealed and the heater is on full-blast (useful for full-combo'ing ~160 BPM Triplet Jacks). I use a slim keyboard which rests on top of a wooden board, which in turn rests on top of my lap. I've set my chair (which can move up and down) so that my lap is parallel to the floor. What am I doing wrong?

Whenever I play, my hands get all sweaty and I can't FC the long sequences of jacks in the middle of the first burst (yet can somehow FC those at the end... ???). I FC'd the second burst. I FC'd the easy part. I came THIS CLOSE to FC'ing the final burst. By THIS CLOSE (Just realized hand gestures don't work online) I mean up to two seconds after the final trill. Once more: What am I doing wrong?!

In a nutshell: How do I make it somewhat easier to FC the start?

well k, looked at your score.

1363 perf
668 good
393 ave
29 miss
1301 boo
1879 combo
2,798,955 score

looks like you're just mashing almost all things for combo, so it would be hard for you to improve PA with high combo.
at this PA, you will need nearly 2,100 combo to reach 3 mil.
comboing from beginning is the easiest way, obviously (ending is way harder).

Correct, I mashed. The easy part: I didn't mash. The part in the final burst that looked like a subway sub: didn't mash. The very short easy part following the triplet quad jacks: no mashey. You gotta come at the problem slowly.

Sure, bird droppings look like the kind of thing my PA would love to ask out, but I'll improve it over time. Towards the end, there are a couple of places where left+down jumps and up+right jumps alternate, and I'm thinking of PA'ing there.

Still, 2,100 combo isn't that tough, considering the song only has 2,453 steps. That places the end of my combo right at the Impossible Trill (ok, it ain't impossible, it's just what I call it). That is, if I start at the very beginning (a very good place to start).

TY for your advice, work on my combo now.

Edit: I'm having trouble at the easy part, and no matter how many times I take a screenshot and practice the finger motions I always fail right about 1550 combo! Any advice?
