Help with jumpstreams

Re: Help with jumpstreams

It's weird, I find dense stuff in IIDX to be MUCH easier to read for some reason. When stuff gets dense in SM or FFR it just looks like a blur and it's really hard to concentrate. So far I've noticed if I look a little lower than usual it's easier to read but it's hard for my eyes not to wander back up to the top after a while so I'm not sure how much that's worth pursuing.

Overall I have noticed a pretty major improvement just from playing jumpstream stuff a lot in SM at slower speeds (music rate, not speed mods). I think I'm definitely going to keep at it throughout the tournament and keep your tips in mind

Have you tried the beatmania skin for FFR? Maybe it'll help make things look lense "dense".

For easier jumpstream, I look for in order, jumptrills, 1 handed patterns, then rolls/staircases.
This is basically looking for patterns that are hardest to notice first
the worst thing you can do for practicing jumpstream in my opinion is to look for anchors, like in this pic on the down arrow they're all 8ths

I don't remember if I have or not. Worth a shot :P I'll try it out tomorrow after work. Too tired right now x.x *bed*

Last one for me unless you need assistance on a particular song I think this should cover everything
when all there is, is a jump every 4th read it as a stream
and pretend it's 25% faster bpm
for ffr focus on not splitting the jumps

1[23]4

4[23]1

are like the worst jumpstream patterns for me cause they're so easy to split (in ffr anyways)

Right, another reason why I suggested emphasizing your jumps in my previous post was also because it'd help reduce splitting.
