Hey, you probably already herad this a bunch of times but thanks. When i first started playing this game i sucked big time. But i did that little half screen trick and it helped mor than i could imagine. I mean i'm not mastering anything yet and i'm still on the easy songs, but i'm getting there. Thanks.

**iggymatrixcounter** · 12-3-2005, 09:34 PM

Glad I could be of service.

is this why you don't like fast songs?

Don't forget I'm still a n00blet.

What is this C300 I always hear about? And C560 and all those other things.
I think I understand the gist of it, but how do I change it and what does it do?

**igotrhythm** · 12-7-2005, 03:43 PM

Well, C followed by a certain number measures the rate at which the arrows scroll across the screen. The higher the number, the faster the scrolling. FFR R1 has the scroll rate fixed at C300, so no, you can't change it.

As for Chickendude's comment: Yeah, pretty much. Still can't read C700 the way I can when it's in the 500-650 range. My accuracy on the 16th streams in Grind Me To Dust Heavy has skyrocketed, though I still can't combo the "jumping jacks" in the middle of Disconnected Hazard Standard. It's very weird. <_<

Wow, I just tried scrolling up the screen, and it helped a lot! Thanks for the tips.

stanli121 · 12-14-2005, 06:08 PM

When you mean scrolling up the screen, do u mean to like only see half of the playing screen. Maybe i'm not understanding but i playb with the arrows at the top and i can't scroll up any higher? i know i am a n00b, but I dont really understand. Sorry i am so dum.

**iggymatrixcounter** · 12-19-2005, 01:47 AM

I've seen some screen setups where you can't really do what I'm talking about. But picture your screen as you look at it. (with the arrows scrolling up.) Then move your screen up so you only see half of what you previously saw. If you have a certain resolution it won't be possible, but just bring the whole window down and it has the same effect.

ZhugeLiang0 · 12-19-2005, 08:41 PM

OMG, thanks for that advice with cutting the screen in half. I've been playing for a little bit more than a year now. It improves me so much now! The Thinking Different song seems much easier, I just need to play it a few times before I combo a lot more. I tried out the Silence song (which I used to think was one of the hardest songs) and I was doing that pretty well! I usually just press whatever to survive, but I was actually comboing on that! Thanks for that tip.

GJ with the guide iggy!

I almost never play with the screen scrolled down.. i play with sudden instead.. bt that's a minus on courses with backgrounds -_-

brpffr93 · 12-23-2005, 05:50 PM

thx for the advice but most people should know that to get better you need to practice, I, meen come on no one should have to be told to practice

bye. FROM BRP

**iggymatrixcounter** · 12-24-2005, 06:41 PM

Yea well surprisingly, I've read a lot of "Hey guyz how do i get bettr?" threads. Like there's some super secret to the whole thing.

Sangyo · 01-7-2006, 10:34 PM

Thanks it helped

Shopowner200 · 01-14-2006, 03:14 PM

The three best songs to practice

1). Euphoria: First song I ever AAA'ed. Really easy, good speed. A good song for new players
2). Libertine: Also Ridculously easy considering it is "challenging"I have not AAA'd this one yet...
3). Party 4u (Holy nite mix): Defenitely very challenging. If you practiced the last 2, it will be much easier. But the background screws up most people, and the step still is a challenge.

That's awesome! Thanks for the help!

nickster1271 · 02-10-2006, 12:20 AM

hey, im nick. I'm kind of a newbie at FFR but i tried all sorts of weird stuff like it such as hand DDR. the most outrageous DDR version I've seen or maybe even in general was toe DDR. I mean, OMG!

**igotrhythm** · 02-12-2006, 02:22 PM

I suggest you practice until you get good enough to accomplish what you want on it and come back later. The other technique is called "whoring" and is usually reserved for when you're close to accomplishing a goal on that level.

By the way, scrolling the screen up doesn't seem to help me do better, either. XP

**iggymatrixcounter** · 02-14-2006, 02:35 PM

For some people scrolling up hurts them, but to me that only means that they are bringing it up too high. Try scrolling it down a little, the idea is to get a certain "Percentage" of arrows on the screen that you can see and not have them fly by you. (In another word: BALANCE)

**Shashakiro** · 02-27-2006, 09:20 PM

I think I'm one of the few people who discovered the screen-shrink trick on my own, rather than learning it from someone else. Heh.

I'd suggest not playing the same song over and over. It gets boring really fast. Variety is good. =)
