Where do you keep your eyes/look when playing?

Re: Where do you keep your eyes/look when playing?

Generally speaking, I can stare off into the screen in various areas keeping a precise accuracy. I tend to stare at the timing area such as the marvelous/combo while playing index and most spread. On harder spread songs I tend to drag my eyes down to see up comming patterns while remembering the pattern I am doing. It sounds tough, but it really becomes second nature after the first few years lol.

I try to play some songs with my eyes closed =D
the song helps to get perfects.
takes practice.

I tend to look at the top arrows, the combo or the arrows that are actually moving.

FFR: I usually look in the middle of the down arrow target but sometimes I look at the other targets. I screenshrink to where I can't even see the combo and use 1.0x speed.

Stepmania: I look at the timing label and use C750 (would be like 2.5x speed on FFR).

when i play SM, i tend to stare at the midpoint between the marvelous label and the stationary top arrows.

Same with me, although I play with the arrows at the bottom. So,

XXX COMBO

Re: Where do you keep your eyes/look when playing?

I look just beneath the arrow bar. Sometimes I might just look at the bottom to see what my score was.

Re: Where do you keep your eyes/look when playing?

strange. i watch each individual arrow or each pattern as they scroll.
yes, even on 1.5 speed mod, with VC difficulty songs.
i don't know why it works but...
it does :]

Re: Where do you keep your eyes/look when playing?

I look either at the up and down arrows or at the combo perfect display, it works both ways for me.

Single arrows: I follow them up.
Fast single arrows: While following them up, I glide over the other single arrows in order to see each arrow.
Streams: I follow the streams 'downwards', but near the top of the screen.
Jumpstream: With practice, just by looking near the combo area, I can see what patterns there are without fully consciously looking at every arrow.
Jumps: I look at the combo mark to see the jump patterns, and without looking at the stationary arrows, I know when to press it as I have good rhythm.
Jacks: I look directly at the jacks to see what framer it is. And yes, I do have good reflexes.
Colourful arrows: I tend to look at the arrows in order to see in what time I need to press the arrows. My eyes tend to move upwards as well, in order to hit at the 'perfect' time.

Songs you can't read: I view the entire screen, and guess the arrows where they appear to have more of it in that place...
