    Does direction of the arrows matter?

    i have been playing with the arrows going down ever since i have started ffr. i dont know why, i just have. i am up to challenging/very challenging songs and i was wondering if i might be more successful with the arrows going UP, or if it doesnt make any difference at all.

    More people find it easier to read the arrows going down, rather than them going up. Other than that, there's really no difference.

        The people that read down, usualy started with betamania/popn/o2jam and all those other rhythm games that normally scroll down rather than up.

        But nah, there's no difference, it's more just preference.

          I dispute this statistical claim. I rather suspect that the -vast- majority of users of FFR play UP not DOWN.

            There are some good players that play downscroll. Just play the way you find best for you.

              it's all preference.

              i read ddr/sm/ffr/itg/piu up, but i read IIDX down just as easy. it depends on the game for me.

                Beatmania and Guitar Hero are my entire experience with downscroll. I find upscroll easier and more intuitive.

                      When I use down scroll, I SWEAR, it feels as if the speed mod is faster.
                      Actually I am completely positive.
                      Oh and...

                      Very useful, give it a shot.

                        I like up-scroll because I feel like the arrows are coming to me.
                        When I play downscroll, it's like "ONOZZ!!! FALLING ARROEZ!! RUN! SCREAM! PANIC!", and I usually fail miserably.

                            When I downscroll after a fast song with lots of stream, I'll look around the room and it seems as if I'm on drugs xD

                            I got used to upscroll first, and I have no plans on changing that.
