What's your FFR Style?

[Xenorosth]

This is just as the title says. Just curious overall.

In short, what is your strongest play point of play, how did you get there, and any advice on. Stream, jump stream, jacks, burst. Anything. I'd have attached a poll to this, but in short, I forgot.

For me, it's bursty files, such as The Games we played 1, Tell me a Story, and Autumn Insomnia session.

Honestly, the best way that I can say improve on this is simply getting into it by sound. Generally, it's something that I've always been a non-pattern based player. Awkward timings really don't bother me as long as it's on beat.

i feel like the more you improve the less you have strengths and weaknesses
like, your jumpstreaming won't be at a ridiculous level compared to your burst ability and stuff
two possible exceptions are wristjacking and vibrating, but even wristjacking sort of improves to be on a similar plane to other skills and vibrating is more SM/FFRMania so i know less about it

you have it entirely backwards, the better players get the larger the differential between their strongest skillset and their weakest

the endless debate over difficulty stems from the fact that people hyper-specialize as they cross into and beyond d7

it just doesnt seem this way on ffr because ffr challenges like less than half a skillset

[MinaciousGrace]

and by that i mean it challenges you to find a browser and/or flash player that can play 60 fps properly

I only run my browser FFR at 60 FPS.

[icontrolyourworld]

My strongest point of play is jumpstream
90% of what i play is jumpstream
i use stepmania to get better at jumpstream
jumpstepmania

JS/Bursts

A.K.A Serious Shit & Staple on Smile

My speed is getting noticeably faster and I have incredible jump control with jacks (just jumps, alternating quads/hands/jumps gets problematic for me).

[rushyrulz]

I'm ok at jacks I guess.

in b4 yoshl posts and completely embarrasses me with his better jacking skillset

[YoshL]

I'm ok at jacks I guess.

[MinaciousGrace]

i forgot to mention i'm amazingly good at everything it's rather silly

except the getting ffr to run properly part

im bad at that

[rushyrulz]

I am completely and utterly embarrassed.

JS and minijacks

[Walrusizer]

im good at short 500 bpm streams and short sections of dense 300 bpm js but thats it
you get good at it by playing files with short 500 bpm streams and short sections of dense 300 bpm js

Bursty patterns that I can memorize and somehow do well on. That's how I AAA'd songs in the low-80s range that not many others at my skill level could do, on my other account.

(Examples: Coactive, Mephisto Waltz, Einstein-Rosen Bridge, Tenimuhou, etc.)

[Azpb Djbread]

I Have a completely weird playing style, but i like it. (i like to think) I can get streams, jump streams, jacks, bursts, with the style i play. i think im the only one to do this though.


Left index finger on {Tilde}

Right index finger on {K}

Right Middle finger on {O}

Right Ring finger on {P}

[rushyrulz]

that's not that weird, actually. You're not the first I've seen with that kind of setup.

I believe gold stinger at one point or even currently uses(ed) a 3-finger setup

He got some pretty good scores with it too

[Walrusizer]

how the fuck do you guys come up with that key setup lmao
