Re: How to increase your speeed, is it possible?

So, yeah yeah, I've lost a CRAP ton of my speed, but that doesn't mean I was ever able to do songs like kidney stone and Eclipse nicely. Considering how many people can *somehow* get under 30 goods with less than 10 boos, I assume there's a way to get that fast. I've tried doing hard song mega pack in SM, and that's what allowed me to BF Lolo and Reality, but this is another level of ****. I STILL think Lolo is really fast and don't know how so many people can AAA it. I mean, it's kinda ridiculous. Now that speed is not that bad, but I don't think I'll ever be fast enough to clean FC Eclipse, hell I can't even FC without mashing at all on that song. I'm beginning to think some people are just physically incapable of ever reaching that speed, is this true? Sure, you can get faster, but maybe it's not physically possible for everyone to reach that speed, I'm beginning to think I can't, just like I'll never get my RATO rank under 200 without double setup because I'll never be able to vibrate long enough. Ughhh....how do you guys do it? Damn this is frustrating. I can PA like a boss and AAA almost every song FMO and under, yet I don't have the speed or stamina to pull under rank 300 on RATO and 100 on Solar. How do so many people do it?

I whored the following packs since about January of 2010:
HSMP 1-11
Midare dump packs
Rebound Vibrajacking Packs 1-3
Darkrenge / Arch0wl hammer of thor pack (or whatever it's called)
a couple xoon packs

I also familiarized myself with the StepMania editor, where by stepping songs, creating patterns, and tesing them out, was also seriously increasing my ability to do crazy arrow hitting. It also helps to get seriously into the songs...which I can't do well on FFR. In StepMania, there are times when I like a song enough, and it is hard enough that it really influences me to finish it with a good score (such as 0x1311, SpeedCore Dandy, Shind Bad, Circus Gallop, etc). This carries onto other songs, and you are more focused, and therefore are utalizing more of your skill / speed.

Desperate for stamina? I'd suggest whoring the 1hr 54min JS challenge for a while...you'll get right onto the stamina train. Don't mean you have to complete it or anything (but at least play until you fail...and get 15-20 minutes of stamina out of it). You can also play songs like Jackhammer madness / Circus gallop / Emerald Sword / etc for some crazy vibrajacking and arm workouts in speed...then go to songs like a ballad for Ceteka to apply slower patterns and whatever to your speed build up.

play dumpfiles on SM or FFR and force yourself to not mash and to try to READ and FOCUS on the hard patterns

i was surprised when i could read Disregard accurately (with my fingers following suit)




maybe it's because i played with 4 packs for 3 years in SM. hardsuper megapack1, midare megapack 4 and 5, smkt 07 - which all have some dumpfiles

This pretty much. I used to be able to not pass anything above 250 bpm, but after playing a ton of dumpfiles and the like, I got a **** ton faster.

You don't even have to play straight dumpfiles. There are plenty of files that are genuinely hard without being complete dumps (HSMP1-4, imo).

It is a slow stamina drainer, and the challenge drives you to want to complete it. Well, that's why I played and A'd it anyway. It's like slow jogging until you drop...if you do that every couple days, you'll build stamina fairly fast.

As for HSMP, I'd especially play songs that have a lot of crazy patterns you might be rather unfamiliar/weak with in them. Crazy dump patterns are tough, but if you can understand them...you'll rape most songs on here.
