Do what i did

play through every single song

and try playing spread

go to dance page one, start over, dont skip a song
they are laid out so that you hit all the different fundamentals of FFR accordingly

Play spread, play all songs, yup yup. Also, try to FC all the songs of one difficulty before going up to the next.

You have 246 game plays... You've been a member for .06 years...

I doubt you 'play for hours a day'. I used to play 500+ songs a day. My record was something near the range 1,150 songs in a single day. You really do just get better with practice.

Frustrating as it is, and as slow as it may happen, it's true. Just play spread and play on higher speed mods. Try getting to 2x eventually.

Good luck.

Naw, ridiculous was Izzy back in that spon con. The game whore competition. Where he got something like 1,111,111,110 I think it was. THAT was ridiculous, lol.

you really haven't played that much, just keep practicing it takes time.

Yes. The goal was basically to achieve as many points as possible within 24 hours. I believe Izzy got vRofl challenges, which made gaining points a lot quicker (mashing the opening hands/quads gives quick points).

Edit: You could try playing Stepmania as well. Stepmania has harder files and tighter timing than the ones on FFR, so improvements come quicker.

actually i play 6 hours a day and only manage around 150ish games and i take like 4 breaks to pee eat and do other stuff in those hours. 1k+ games is if u try to aaa and never finish the songs which i will never do.

I agree.

Try playing a different style possibly change your seating position. Sometimes when you play the same songs over and over again you develop bad habits, try playing an abundance of songs above your skill level. A great way to improve is also finding out what mods you are best with and what resolution you should be playing at.

Good luck!

Don't mash. If you feel like you need to mash, play an easier song.

Stepmania. FFR is awful for getting skill. What you want to do is go unknown for like 2 years, become super awesome pro, and come out of nowhere and rape all the scores on FFR so everyone's like OMG who is this guy he's the master.

hmhm it takes a alot of patience to get good and alot of practice.. ive played for 4 years and some people would say i suck... now as far as that goes im pretty good.. but not amazing, but it does matter as to how much you practice and how hard you push yourself. because i havent made any really improvements in over a year and thats because im not trying to get any better and that attitude is what affects how much you really wanna go forward. also try songs that you cant beat.. im not saying mash them but try to get farther and farther each time you play them.
