Warming up

[Im Vince]

What do you guys do to warm up for FFR? Do you do anything special or simply go straight to smashing your keys?

I wonder, because I do; before playing FFR, I put my hands over the fire for a minute and then I'm good to go! (yes, there is a fire in my house... it's winter and it still is the best way to get some heat)

I play a couple FGO's.
I played RAIN YMCK as a warm up right before I got my SDG on holy orders lol.

Typically I'll play some hard songs to loosen up. But if my hands are totally ice I might run hot or warm water over them for a few minutes.

I like to warm-up to something with high BPM, with little-to-no empty spots in between. So, generally songs like FotBB, Molto Vivace, GGC. :3

Anything harder would just cause my CTS to get to extreme pain before I even really start, which is unfortunate. x.x

3-4 VCs then I jump into FMOs
If I plan to play FGOs: 3-4 VCs then 3-4 FMOs

Sometimes if my hands are cold I run them under hot water for a minute. When I start playing FFR though, I don't play warm-up songs, I just jump directly into what I want to play.

I play either a file I can't stand, get irritated and go higher ( Like a annoying 9 file to a FMO or FGO ). Either that, or I just play a higher song than what I should play, ( Start off at 11 or 12, which increases my chance to AAA a 9 or 10 )

[Choofers]

it all depends on how much I've been moving my fingers before I start playing


I keep it pretty cold in my room (like, less than 65F if I can get it that low), so if I haven't been doing anything on the computer, I'll warm up with 10s and 11s

if I come from doing something else on the computer (playing rift or katawa shoujo, for example), all I have to do is play something like freedom dive or rain and I'm warmed up

Drink alcohol.

BB Revenge

I usually just go straight into smashing keys. But if I do ever warm up 'properly', I play level 10's.

[Jerry DB]

when it's cold in the house I run my hands under hot water and between games I'll blow hot air out my mouth on my hands and rub them together. I start off with hard songs and then go for aaa's

[kmay]

i play 30 mins of SM dumps. then go to FFR FGOs then whatever i want to play. takes to long. so i stopped doing it. and play index again.

[CoolRun]

I casually play some random songs on FFR to prepare myself for rates / dumps on SM and later come back to FFR in an hour or so to tackle harder stuff. I, too run my hands under hot water if the weather's cold.

[sakura080789]

just a decent Marathon type file with lots of streams will do it for me

[One Winged Angel]

If I'm not playing for scores, I won't bother warming up and I'll just play whatever.

Otherwise, I'll wash my hands under warm water and then play Miraiya, Gunk Tar, and Metro. In that order. Every session~
