How do you get rid of mindblocks on songs?

**One Winged Angel** · 06-29-2008, 07:45 PM

Any help would be greatly appreciated

porn.

**s0ulst0n3** · 06-29-2008, 07:53 PM

Mirror mode. Helps A LOT!

**One Winged Angel** · 06-29-2008, 07:54 PM

I tried that, soul.

The stupid combo number gets in the way of my arrows :/

Try using random with a range of difficulty that include the song you got a mental block on and don't use sound.

2nd option is that you need a distraction to not completely panic at the mental block spot (lol p0rn).

I also suggest playing a lot on a very high speedmod and going down after so it gives the illusion that the game is slower.

Also, it obviously depends of what song you got a mental block on..

But thanks Haku, I'm gonna try some of that riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight now

When I first joined I used to play on upscroll, but eventually tired of this, so I downscroll now. Wouldn't know how it effects mirroring though.

I suggest the opposite. If you are using a speed mod like x1.75 or x2.0, try playing at least 20 games of x1.0 screencut (even if you can't screencut worth crap). After that, jump right back into the speed mod you are using and it will be like a whole new mod.

Lastly, don't whore the song! No joke. Don't. Play other stuff. When you see the pattern after not looking at it for a while, it will be fresh in your mind. Also, I'm sure you need help on Pure in Asia, but I don't mind helping you at all. You have potential to go far in D4, so I hope you do well.

Man, villie....I used to be able to get through the roll section at around 430 with 0-2 goods before it gets back into the jumpstream, but now I can't even COMBO that section, and if I do, I'll get 7+ goods

I'm trying not to whore anymore like you said, but I feel retarded knowing everyone else managed to aaa this thing perfectly fine...I've probably played the song more than 300 times

Eh, I hope the block goes away by Thursday :/

**Tasselfoot** · 06-29-2008, 08:15 PM

punch them in the face.

**EnR** · 06-29-2008, 08:18 PM

And that's why Tass needed a new monitor, don't lisin to his advice.

Stop playing the song for 2-3 days.

**Xiaounlimited** · 06-29-2008, 08:23 PM

Seriously. I whored FFLBF at least 30 times, didn't get a SDG.

Come back the next day, AAA it in one shot. Just don't whore things. :P

LLaMaSaUceYup · 06-29-2008, 08:26 PM

Awww I'm sorry, I hate mental blocks, especially during TOURNAMENTS, gah.

I hope you can get the AAA.

This is why I do not whore songs so much.
Good luck, hopefully you can get rid of those DUMB mental blocks.

**bmah** · 06-29-2008, 08:30 PM

I suggest you take a break from the song and try again later. By later, I mean maybe a day to a week later. Really.

**EnR** · 06-29-2008, 08:31 PM

The thing is with a tourney, you're AAA'ing for something else and not just for yourself, therefore you get more nervous and get mindblocks faster.

The opposite happens with me, lol.

Well, I haven't played the song, but don't feel too bad. I know what you mean about not being able to combo stuff, hahaha. I can't combo my division's song. But I understand your frustration because you COULD combo it before. I've had these things happen to me in Stepmania a lot.

**Breakdown16** · 06-29-2008, 08:42 PM

Take a break. If the mental block is severe, like mine on Vertex BETA, don't play the song for months. I mean it; that's how I finally got a 2-0-0-0 on CIA Rave.

I really wish that worked for me, I didn't play caprice for 2 months, went back, still had every single mental block, well, aside from like 2 of them, but that doesn't really matter when I have about 16 mental blocks on it

Villiex · 06-29-2008, 09:08 PM

Oh, bahaha, no wonder why you have mad mental blocks OWA, this is a behanjc file. I was actually going to give it a shot until I saw that. GOOD LUCK, man. If it's garbage like his other files (and it is I'm sure), you will need the luck.

l u l l a b y · 06-29-2008, 09:10 PM

i usually look at a different part of the screen. like what i do is focus mostly to the down left arrows or the up right arrows depending on the pattern, and when i notice that i'm consistently not getting it, i switch my focus to the other side. also if it's really a mental block and not something you just can't do, try not to concentrate too much. don't think "crap, the hard part is coming up." just play the song.
