Re: Hrm...how bad am i?

Nothing personal taken from your posts. But, you claim you are not very good at the game (and I figured maybe you were looking for some tips), and then when we give you tips, you say something like this:

i dont really wanna spend another couple months getting used to another way of play.

This is perhaps the reason you are not going to improve; you are not willing to take the steps required to make you better than you are. If your playing style is only taking you so far, then it might be a sign to learn a new playing style. Do you play with one hand or two? Index or spread? Spread (2 hands, 2 fingers each) is usually the ideal method of play. If you are playing something like 1 hand 3 fingers, I recommend switching.

i spent a year learning spread and it proved no use to me, only a little improvment which was needed and i noticed so maybe it was useful. But im still not gonna learn a new way of play, i already spent total 1.6 years learning 2 ways to play.

Then, prepare to stay where you are in terms of skill.

They spread the arrows out so you can read better.

Also practice is key but don't worry if your not learning noticeably fast. You usually get better sub-consciously because the incline gets slower.

Re: Hrm...how bad am i?

stop playing for a couple months and you'll magically get better lol. i stopped playing for 5 months and went from fcing standard songs to fcing very difficult songs i dont know how but i did O.o and yes speed mods help.

Re: Hrm...how bad am i?

let everything be natural. dont force anything. if you're good you're good, if you're not (which most of this world isnt) then you're not. one's life is full of things they're good at, and not so good at.

Be happy! I can only FC a few Challenging songs. :-\

From what I understand you're screen-cutting with no speed mods and you can play at a Challenging difficulty.

Start playing Difficult-Very Difficult songs on x1.25 speed (maybe faster if you need to) and then try to play some Very Challenging songs until you get better.
If your current style of play is getting you nowhere (so you seem to think) then it's time to change, even if you don't want to.

Things take time. Think about it; have you ever played FFR one day, went to sleep, and woke up tomorrow, being able to play FFR better than you could before? That can happen for anyone; also, what hand style do you use? Each hand style has its limits, but I'm not going to sit here explaining them. =P

Re: Hrm...how bad am i?

You just have to play more. When I think about playing just to get better, I tend to do worse. I can't AAA crap, because my timing is bad. However, the more I play the better my timing has become. SM is good help in the sense that it offers new songs and more variety to get you to play more. Just focus on having fun and playing different songs. It helped me a lot when I just went to the bottom of my levelrank list and upped my average rank. Even playing the easy songs improved my timing.
Also, Speed mods have helped me a ton, as far as I can tell. I can't read at 1x anymore. It spreads the arrows and makes them easier to read.

Re: Hrm...how bad am i?

okay...im gonna do this, but im still gonna complain here.

Stepmania = ffr gets worse
FFR = stepmania gets worse
Speed mods = lag cuz vista sucks and it wont let me reinstall XP
I play spread, which from what i know is the style to play.
/arrekusuof93 I can only fc a few of those too, and i can get close to some very challenging (dot death carrosel [spell check that one > . >] )
