EDIT: And I can't fo rthe life of me follow the arrows to where they meet lol it feels so weird

[SK8R43]

heh maybe thats where we are going wrong Krunky, i look smack dab in the middle of the screen as well :O

You're both reading properly, looking directly at the receptors is something you'd do if you're trying to read an incredibly slow scroll speed. Timing comes with playing more, it seems like you're just mind-blocked Krunky, try taking a break and get back at it on Monday/Tuesday or something lol

[bmah]

You don't look directly at the receptors, just close to it (just below it) - and a change of scrolling speed may help as well. But sometimes that helps if you really want to investigate why you get random goods. What you see is what you're hitting. If you look in the middle of the screen all the time, then "what you see is what you might be hitting". That sort of spacial difference can reduce interpretive accuracy, and when timing comes down to a matter of frames, that can make a difference.

edit: sometimes I might direct my eyes more left or right of the screen depending on where the arrow patterns go. If there are a lot of up and right arrows for instance, I'll be observing that side of the screen more closely for the time being.

All in all, that sort of active observation might help you, krunky.

[krunkykai22]

Thanks Bmah and Dynam0, I'm trying lol and any and all advice is most certainly welcome.

SK8R - It seems you and I are very alike in regards to playstyle lol

[Poison-]

I look directly at the receptors

[M0nkeyz]

Im also getting random goods because of lag, kinda annoying. I have a very good pc with quite decent internet.

[Poison-]

Internet speed doesn't affect FFR performance

Dude, you've got loads of time, just try and reduce the amount of boos you've and you'll probably reduce goods as well - keep playing throughout the week =3

Believe!

You got this =3

D7: AAA or Die >=D

This is a good snippet imo. I find focusing on strictly one side during a trouble pattern (even ignoring the side I have a block on) helps me overcome that block. Unfortunately it doesn't help with one hand trills (goddamn Shotgun Surgery rip) but it's helped me on a number of files.

[SK8R43]

lol yeah it sure seems that way Krunky.
But yeah, i might try looking at the middle like usual for the whole file minus the trill section and try to look a bit closer to the receptors so i can see exactly what im hitting better. I swear, im O.K. at trills but if i dont get lucky i dump 3-4 goods on just one of them haha

[Rapta]

We need some extreme arab music for D7's final song, cus why not?
