    How long does it take to get used to a new arrow direction?

    I've been using left scroll for ages but apparently I'm going to need to start getting my MP level up thanks to the new tokens. Also, what's a good speedmod to practice on? I hear a lot of people are fond of using them.

    Wow, left scroll is hard.

    Use speed 1.75 or 2. upscroll is what most mp matches are.

    Just practice upscroll, a lot.

    Really though, no one cares what tokens you have, unless you just want them personally, in which case I say go for it.

      Yeah, I wat to unlock as many as I can. This one seems fairly doable, as does the 1 billion overall points token,so I'lll try to get them.

        Each to their own. Could take one person 5 minutes to get used to a change yet another person could never get used to it.

        Just experiment with the speeds and see which helps you most.

            Or as our resident statistician has clearly pointed out, 17 years is the actual viable amount of years you will need to successfully transfer your current skill level to a new change of arrow scroll.

              Seconded. I've been trying to get used to upscroll for months here in FFR, and even longer in SM, and to this day I can barely survive some easier levels (yes, I literally DIE). Hell, just read my custom title. Had that on there for at least a month. I'm fairly sure I will never get used to playing upscroll.

              If you were going to go with another scroll direction, I'd suggest down because, well... it's made of win 'n' all Besides, it's what the other music game simulators scroll: Beatmania, Guitar Hero, etc.

                I've been trying to switch over to spread and arrows down for a long time. Nothing. Good luck to you.

                  Boomerang in SM helped me learn upscroll for Resonance.

                        Haha, I can actually do decent on downscroll, even though I play up scroll 99% of the time.

                          When I play downscroll the combo multiplier distracts me.

                            I thought of a little trick for doing songs where the arrows are insanely close together. Ready? MINI! Yup, I mean that! Mini arrows pwn the hell out of everything else!

                              Downscroll has always been so much easier for me. I've tried to play upscroll... it doesn't go so well.
