Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

grats. not that hard of a song to get SDG on, assuming you actually get the jacks.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

FC'ing jacks in FFR is definitely an accquired skill.

AAA'ing jacks in FFR between 120 and 150 BPM 16ths is an accquired skill that very few people have mastered.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

I can't FC it either. And I can FC balloon fever. Don't worry.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

you can't fc crystalis luna? even I've done it like... 4 or 5 times out of the 30 or 40 that I've played.

What pissed me off was my 5 goods on NeoMax earlier today, only to get a bs miss on the ending jacks.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

I've FC'd it once out of like 50-100 tries. I really have a problem with jacks, and I consider it harder to FC than Silence, but not as hard as Balloon Fever, which I've never FC'd.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

I FC it probably 90% of the time that I play it, which isn't often.

Unless I'm going for PA, then I miss a LOT more.

For reference, I FC Balloon Fever about 50% of the time.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

I've only tried it a few times and my problem is my screenshrinking doesn't allow me to react to jacks too well lol. Do any of you have that problem? Like I'll blink and miss a jack. I get a higher combo when I don't screenshrink on that song.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

I know where every jack is on every song in FFR, so it's no problem XD

The only ones where I don't are 100 Bar Blackout, and, to a degree, Revolutionary Etude.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

It's like, having to hit one arrow over and over really fast, such as

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

a jack is when you have 2 arrows in a row on the same key. so you have to press 1 key in rapid succession like a jackhammer.

also... memorization FTW. Knowing the jacks are coming is a HUGE help. Also, they do kinda go to the music... so you could always just memorize the music.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

I thought jacks could be longer than two arrows?

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

Kratos I lol'd at your sig XD...

Anyway, yeah it isn't hard to SDG. I got 5 goods once. Of course, I didn't FC it though. And all thia about Balloon Fever and Silence?? I suck at jumpstream way more than jacks. Cept the frickin crazy one in songs like AIM Anthem and Runny Morning. But anyway yeah I'm still something like 50 misses on Balloon Fever and probably over 100 on Silence, so I think Crystalis is considerably easier then these.

Re: Why can't I FC Crystalis

Yeah shashikro same thing with me. I know where all the jacks are in all the songs I play a lot, but on easy songs like this I don't even bother to try and remember because I don't play them often.

One technique I use for jumpstream is to play the streams like you normally would, but make it a point to actually look for the jumps and hit the keys harder than usual for the jumps. This way you can actually hear the jumps in the beat and it makes it a bit easier to play.
