it's been brought to my attention that a lot of people seem to think FFR rank has any correlation with overall hand speed for music games
FFR rank only has a minor correlation with hand speed when you start getting to the highest tiers of the game; otherwise, it's mostly combo-consistency since that is how FFR is scored. if FFR rank = hand speed, songs that test your un-mashed hand speed would be worth more than any other song -- and they aren't
this allegation was brought up to me by Dinglesberry
so listen up DINGLES BERRY (if that even IS your real name)
FFR rank is a terrible indicator of finger speed. my rank was about 450 at the time of writing the guides, and jumped a bunch of places depending on how the ranks were calculated. but this doesn't matter, because rank is not calculated to determine hand speed, and I haven't played at least half of the songs in the game. I don't play FFR in general because I browse on a chromebook, which means my keyboard for playing is nonstandard, and when I do have a good keyboard -- aka on my desktop -- I'm going to want to play Stepmania, not FFR.
most of my scores are also index, not spread. this is an entirely different playstyle, and should cause you to drastically rethink my scores.
^ this is a better mental image of what me playing FFR looks like.
if you want a better indication of my hand speed you should check out something like this
my best speed, bare-handed, is about 1040.
my best theoretical bare-handed (i.e. achieved this speed with one hand but not both) is about 1080.
note that the world-record cap for bare hand speed is about -80 off from the sticks record, i.e. the world record for sticks is about 1220 and the world record for bare hands is about 1140. here are records for sticks:
you could also refer to this:
or this:
(which has yet to be passed, though I've come the closest of anyone so far)
anyway, point is
judging my speed by FFR rank
god damn
what kind of savage do you think I am
