The man knows what he's talking about.

But honestly... there aren't any files that magically increase PA.

Yes trust me, this will solve your problem completely.

Options > Machine Options > Judge > 7

Practice for about a week, come back to FFR, get re-adjusted, and you will be fantastic.

Though judge 7 can take some time getting used to, but once you do it's just a nice boost.

I'm aware of that. I'm just looking for some tips, because I want to get my AAA bar up. :P

I think I'll give that a try.

@ earlier posters: Wow, masturbating really increased my speed! I just FC'd two FMOs in a row. xD

We told you.

Back when I was trying to FC Molto (June 2007?) I used to masturbate before I played. It helped, and I managed to get a missflag. Would have supped shark if I could just do the minijacks after the long 66666666 jack. >.>

Do you know any good FFR/SM songs that would help me get better at PA/MAing songs?

Sorry for taking such a long time to reply to this. There are many different SM songs to help out your PA, but because FFR timing window is so much different compared to SM you may just want to stick to FFR. Most songs in FFR that you would need to work on for AAA's have different focus areas. There's songs like Gradeus that work on runs and such. There's songs like Club and AIM Anthem that work on some very rapid key pressing skills. There's songs like Jelly Role Blues with some pretty fast running men (left, right, left, right; or any two button combination that's played over and over). Then there's those songs that you can even read in terms of what arrows you need to play and when (mainly those guru songs but theres a couple of masters songs with a couple parts like that), and a good song to practice for this is that new song in Funk called The Adventures of Lolo. Again, I am no expert at AAA's so I could be totally wrong by all this.

...

What do girls do then? I'm sure it doesn't quite have the same effect. =/

For me, my perfect attack increased by just relaxing and falling with the beat. (At least for DDR and ITG...)

Oh yeah, what's Judge 7?

Emerald Sword and Ageha are both in the Keyboard Megapack. Most stuff in there should be good to practice MA. Judge 7 is how strict the timing windows are. The better your MA gets on Judge 7, the more godly you get at Judge 4 (Judge 4 is the default Stepmania judge setting).

Uhhh, I have a hard time believing justice is harder than J7 just for the fact that my MA is better than J4 on justice, and I can't pass FOTS on J7

I've been recently switching from sm to ffr repeatedly with the same speeds for each (1.75 for ffr and c625 for stepmania) and it has been improving my pa at a ridiculous rate.

I know Im awfull new around here, havent played anywhere near as many games as you guys, but well, I didnt see it mentioned and I like to share so . .

What I did was I found my comfort zone, in terms of mods and speeds. I play at 1.75x speed and reverse mod on. This is what I feel good at, any speed over this and or turning the directional to go up not down, throw me off and make it very hard for me to play . . . . .

so thats just what I do.

Yup. When Im having aittle more trouble with a song within my comfort zone, I simply go beyond that and try to play it.

Example : If you play with 1.75 speed and normal mod, try thorwing it into 2x speed at first, maybe even go back a few lvls and try playing one in reverse mod. Play the same song your already having problems on, but make iT HARDER. Do this 2 or 3 times and then go back to your normal settings and try it, and by gosh if it doesnt feel like the song became a whole lot easier.

I may just be blowing smoke, Im sorry if I am, but this has worked for me.

Hope this helps.

Shay.
