Re: What Makes You Better At FFR?

The headphones help alot. Whenever I want to get a good score, I'll play song once or twice to see the steps even if I know them already or not. Just to get myself mentally ready. Then after that I will play the song seriously and thinking about PA'ing the song helps me.

practice a lot i used to D on mario with one hand now i can 700 combo pants spread.
it just takes practice and when i play i just keep the bpm beat with my fingers.when i get sidetracked and off sync i get some greats.but it helps my MA and PA tremendously and i play the music loud

i do much better on the songs with different colored arrows, because i'm a pianist, and used to seeing patterns and such. not that i suck on the monocolored ones, i'm pretty good there too, i can just sightread the others exceptionally

Hey...I'm a pianist, too! : O Whowouldathunkit?

I find that focusing too much on the arrows gives me slightly worse PA. Trying to get good PA usually helps me get a better combo, unless, you know...there's average-miss junkjacks.

Looks like i'm the third pianist in a row.

I don't listen to the music, it helps me because some songs are off-sync
I also don't try to concentrate that hard, I also think about different things while playing.

Playing any time I get a chance to.
I carry around my laptop all the time, in school, and stuff.
So, I could just get on Stepmania or FFR if I have internet connection.
It's called practice.
And I do it everyday, for many hours. :]

Re: What Makes You Better At FFR?

If I hit the keys harder, it helps me a lot with maintaining rhythm, so I dont' get a random good in a stream. This only helps with faster streams like in SP or something.

Rofl Piano ftw. I used to be good enough to be best in Ontario for RCM Grade 9 (won the Silver Medal). Haven't played it in ages though.

Helps with IIDX especially!
