    How do i hit the keys faster? tips and hints

    Ok many of you would not expect me to be posting somthing like this, but even with my high rank and such i need help. I have very good acuracy and that is how i got this good but on songs such as flight of the bumble bee, planetz, and aim anthem i cant hit the keys fast enough. On bumble bee i have trobble getting over a 120 combo. I have terrible averaghe scores for these songs so i asume even people that are worse then me are able to hit the keys faster. How can i improve?


    Edit:

    The thing is im very new to stepmania i dont know how to set the speedmod in stepmania to Cwhatever lol. Also someone mentioned to me about always making the songs play on a certian bpm like they do on ffr. How would i go about doing that. Thirdly i get board with playing the same song over and over.

      Hi LONEvvolf! Practice makes perfect, like Rubix, though most think he's bs. Play a lot of fast songs I guess. For FOTBB play a lot of songs that contain trills and mash the hell out of FOTBB once you get good at trills. Other than that, practice.
      P.S. I want credits! *looking at sub-title*

          SM helps out alot, lemme explain.

          Say you want to be able to do 200 bpm stream, and have good PA. play the song on 1.1 rate, or play songs about 10-20ish bpm faster than your desired speed. Play the song quite often, maybe whore it for a while, or play it a few times a day. Before you know it, when you play that 200 bpm stream file you wanted to do good on, it will be much easier, being your used to going a bit faster.

          Set goals on the faster file, such as AA it / break 90mil on it / single digit combo breakers on it. or some sort of goal, after you have done that, try the things that were a bit slower you wanted to be able to have enough speed for.

          As for me, I whored the hell out of Reach's Reality (259bpm 16th stream with a few trills). I got a pretty nifty speed boost from it.

          It's a lot easier to get more speed from playing sm than plan ffr.

                  Practice. I spent two days practicing using 75 seconds of silence to make a song on SM that I just put in trills that I practiced and bumped up the tempo when I got AA on it. I've currently done trills at 8 tps with it. I just need to hit 12 and then I can move onto other patterns.

                          This is where I will definitely say you can use Stepmania to your advantage

                          People say playing Flight of the Bumblebee is easier Index, maybe something you want to consider if you play spread; I personally have no more trouble with it than any other avmissable trill song and I play spread.

                              you mentioned my favorite song ;D

                              fotbb index - 1 good.
                              fotbb spread - like 600 combo, only played it once spread, i dont see the point if i can dominate it index.

                                  Flight of the Bumblebee is your favorite? O_o

                                  I think it would be a lot more fun if it weren't for the bizarre right-handed runningmen-ish pattern near the end ^_^ That's a pattern I don't know what to do with. I'd kill to have 1 Good on it though

                                          He feels like I do. If I would have a little more speed I could AAA FMOs and some more VC. I guess its back to good ol' SM.
