Re: How to get better at FFR

I have switched to spread, but I dunno. It's a retarded setup, but I'm used to it.

I switched from as kl to vb io and there's been a huge improvement in my PA ability. I feel like having my hands closer together instead of farther apart helps improve my keystroke speed for trills and jacks.

^ This.

I used to be sdkl, but I have much better PA with dfjk.

A,S,K,L or K,L numpad 5,6 this really helps

Please try to check the dates of recent posts before posting yourself, that way you don't bump a dead thread

(That was for the other two threads, this one wasn't too terrible)

Also, I would suggest posting in the newbie thread so people can get to know you.

Re: How to get better at FFR

Wow thanks for all of the detailed information!! :> I will use your suggestion on SSing difficult parts of a song to better understand it. Thanks again :>

I'm currently using my index and my middle fingers on both hands. It's really helpful and is highly recommended

Re: How to get better at FFR

honestly, I'm not a bad player and I never took advice from anyone. and I don't have any to give. All i have to say is practice and just practice.

the only other thing i can say is play spread and up your speed and use a decent keyboard.

Re: How to get better at FFR

I learnt to play with my index and middle fingers of my right hand, but for some retarded reason used my ring and middle finger of my left hand, and by now it's impossible to switch it back (it results in the most horrible results ever), so I guess I'm an odd player. I only really notice the limitations when I have to trill and in tricky combos where the down key is repeated a lot.

Re: How to get better at FFR

If you're in a slump where you can't increase your PA, play Stepmania and work on your MA. It helps. Trust me. You can't increase FFR's judge, but you can SM's.

Just thought I would share that.

Re: How to get better at FFR

I've been playing for awhile and never really took any tips or advice... while everything in the first post seems pretty generic, I have a question. I noticed on this last page the mention of "Play Stepmania"

Why does this help? And does it REALLY help? Or will it differ between people? I tried Stepmania a bit back but didn't get far into it because I didn't quite like the feel, but I continuously see some of the top players mention playing Stepmania =/
