Re: The Secrets to FFR. Tips for Beginners/Experts

In my opinion, good contributions to the ffr community would be an eloquent analysis of the specifics of hand positioning in spread and efficient finger muscle usage, or an in-depth training regiment to increase finger speed. You can also try analysing what the human brain does specifically when playing this game, and try to come up with good non-ffr activities that would increase your overall skill-level by correlation.

The best way to train finger muscles and increase overall skill-level for FFR is to play FFR.

I never feel a swing pattern when hitting a staircase and I highly recommend not doing that. If you have a 16th staircase there should be no swing. Am I missing something? We all know what swing is right? (coming from a jazz drummer here)

The best top athletes do a wide variety of training for the specific muscles they use, and the specific actions they perform. They isolate the various elements of their game, and master them separately. They do not stupidly keep on doing the activity they want to get better in.

any top athlete who is smart would know to base their training on engaging in their sport as directly as possible. What your saying works as well, but it should be thought of as more of a secondary thing to add on to the base in my opinion. Always compound first and then isolate areas that are weak.

There was another guide that was recently posted which I skimmed through, and that one looked a lot more useful to new players. Try getting some content from that one if you are making an official guide. Right now I do not see much useful content that people wouldn't be able to find out instantly themselves.

In my opinion, good contributions to the ffr community would be an eloquent analysis of the specifics of hand positioning in spread and efficient finger muscle usage, or an in-depth training regiment to increase finger speed. You can also try analysing what the human brain does specifically when playing this game, and try to come up with good non-ffr activities that would increase your overall skill-level by correlation.

It would have been preferable if you had good new content before you posted this topic. I do not think that what you posted is in-depth enough to be considered to be of much help to intermediate players.

I happened to glance over you saying you spent 5 hours on this guide. I would have spent at least 50 hours before posting something like this. Even then I would carefully state that it is incomplete and is to be elaborated on. I think you would be taken more seriously and that you would receive more and better tips from other players if you had done that.

Finally, if you want to have a good guide be made for this community, it would be prudent to collaborate with some other people, and form a group dedicated to truly map out the secrets to FFR. I do like the sentiment of you making this guide, so please try to make it as good as possible.

I completely agree with you man, I don't think I should've rushed it this is more like a rough draft and I'll be adding more techniques a little later. But if you would like to contribute that would be excellent. This is just my opinion, I wanted to make this a sort of waypoint to other useful info.

Play harder songs, turn on mirror if you are getting a mind block, mess with your speedmod - eventually, there will be a median you are most comfortable at. I can't believe how in depth some of you are going... FFS it's just a rhythm game.

EDIT: oh and DO NOT MASH just to get a better rank on a song. Let your ranks be an honest reflection of how you are doing.
