Re: FFR Scores

The nerve of some people...

Quite frankly OWA provides such entertainment value.

Re: FFR Scores

But it's so hard to trick your mind - if you pretended to mess up, your mind will still know that you didn't really mess up, and thus your mentailty would remain the same. Even if you close your eyes for the first arrow or so, you'd have to have some degree of certainty (otherwise, why waste time if you did mess up at the beginning).

Re: FFR Scores

this is why sometimes I'll actually shout out "FUCK" right before the most difficult section of the file, faking a really dumb screw-up

as hilarious as it sounds, it makes the convincing process more...convincing

My best raw score on this.


Keep trying for those AAAs OWA haha.

You can still hit the beginning fairly accurately. But it's always possible that you didn't hit it properly anyway.

When I mess up, I always boo out, which means I hit other arrows with ****ty PA in the process. That way I can't deduce whether or not I *did* mess up the beginning. Whether or not I ever *actually* mess up the beginning from time to time is irrelevant. As long as the possibility is there -- and as long as I can't be fully certain, the nerves are calm.

To be fair though I've only had to do this on a few files. I didn't even have to do it on DP -- which I wasn't even nervous over. I knew it was coming and that it was just a matter of time. That sort of mindset alone helps a lot.

But crap like LGC and HA I was furiously nervous over and had to psych myself out so many times.

Re: FFR Scores

I would love to do exactly what you're doing rubix, but I look down at the raw score every chance I get (and have been jew'd out of both Reality and FN AAAs because of this) and can't find a way to screen it, since the entire gameplay screen condenses whenever I alter the dimensions of my browser

...unless I bring up the task manager to cover my raw, I'm like 99% certain that stays up and isn't pushed to the background on xp, hmm...

Re: FFR Scores

Unless you want to continue getting Hava Nagila'd on your scores, screencut away the lower score portion. Use a standalone player if you must.

Re: FFR Scores

if I could play FFR void of all nerves and emotion, I swear to god I'd be right up there with leo and halo

whenever I intentionally **** up the very beginning of a song with extremely difficult sections later in the file, I'll always nail them because I've already dubbed the run as shit and won't get nervous anticipating the harder sections

but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, that'll never happen

I still have massive issues with nerves and I can't eliminate them, only fight them and hope that I come out on top.

I've been lucky a few times too many...

@OWA: you can use a physical object like a post-it note on your computer screen.

Re: FFR Scores

The alternative is to play isolation files until you are no longer scared of a particular section.

In theory that works, but i've found when it then comes to the real thing, the nerves are still there.

Edit - Possibly because you know it's the real thing and not practice?

Re: FFR Scores

Lol, OWA. I know exactly how you feel! It's why I got my booflag on Night and Day. AAA'd everything, until the 8th notes at the end when my uncontrolled left hand spazzed out and hit a boo. All because of me feeling like, "Wow, I AAA'd that part."
