Advice on how to AAA better?

drakethelegend · 12-25-2007, 09:04 PM

Anybody and everybody, how do you AAA songs? I only have 3 right now but I'm seeing that there are a bunch of ways to make it easier / harder, mini, putting it on 1.75, that kind of stuff, just wondering what you all do personally, because I'm stuck right now on this one song. ? Thank you...

**MoopToThePowerOfQ** · 12-25-2007, 09:07 PM

i suck at aaa too, i have like 13, you just gradually get better as you play more

and yeah 1.75 helps

Practice the song with Dark enabled, get a feel for when you should hit the arrows on different songs, seeing as they aren't always on the right beat.
Turn it off, and you should get more perfects. This won't be an instant improvement, but it will help in the future.
I myself play on dizzy w/ dark @ x2.00 for fun, but I've found it has helped me alot with timing.
(Not too sure if dizzy has anything to do with it but it's fun XD)

**Kotarouchan** · 12-25-2007, 10:05 PM

Well, what type of computer/keyboard do you have?

**Bluearrowll** · 12-25-2007, 10:20 PM

For me I use 1.5x and thats it. Though the autofail does help.

drakethelegend · 12-25-2007, 10:21 PM

just a regular keyboard. it is one of those silenter ones so it feels nice why?

**Xiaounlimited** · 12-25-2007, 10:23 PM

Don't get angry.

How come Dark helps?
I tried it, and was unsure as to how it helps.

By "kind of keyboard" they mean "USB, laptop, or <whatever you call the keyboard-specific cable>"

And, if you want a complete answer, just search for "AAA," "improve my PA," or "my PA sucks" and you should come up with hundreds of other threads asking the same question.

drakethelegend · 12-25-2007, 10:30 PM

i don't know i have a computer so a regular usb cable? haha. i have a labtop but i play spread so i can't use that one. and same ? about the dark. does anybody use mini? i think it helps me a little but maybe that's just me, because i know EXACTly when to press the buttons...?

**gabgabo** · 12-25-2007, 10:31 PM

Practice does work.

**ninjaKIWI** · 12-25-2007, 10:31 PM

I BBB Ver gud.

**foilman8805** · 12-25-2007, 10:43 PM

A few things to help you:

1. Use a speed mod. Start at 1.25, and then work your way up to a comfortable speed for you. Most people use 1.5, or 1.75. I myself prefer 1.5.
2. Have patience. I've played 22,900 games and I only have 150 public AAA's. It takes more than 1 try.
3. Focus.

You'd be surprised how easily you get distracted and it doesn't have to be anything big, it could just be a car passing by that gets a small piece of your attention and that's when you get that Good.

Zythus · 12-25-2007, 11:15 PM

im not amazingly good at AAAs but right now im getting tons of blackflags ( 1 good only)

some keys to consider, if it helps, tap harder so you can hear yourself tapping. it gives you a stable beat. and yes, AAA do get easier if you play on faster speeds, I myself prefer 1.75/2.0 Also, CALM THE FRIK DOWN! jesus, when i started to AAA a long time ago, i was all shakey and sweating buckets...NO, just calm down, listen and tap to the beat.

drakethelegend · 12-25-2007, 11:53 PM

AL;SDKFJASLDFJ I DID IT.

Finally. Thank you all for your help, it has really helped, AND I'm serious. Thank you thank you thank youuuu. Especially Zythus and Foilman. now im going to go bask in my amazing power of only 4 aaa's and smoke a cigarette

YES.

I got the best advice, GLITCH LIKE I DID (look at my Avatar. Excite Bike, actually stepfile:FFLBF)

**TheRapingDragon** · 12-27-2007, 08:25 AM

Hit the keys in time with the arrows reaching the top of the screen. Do it accurately.

**darkshark** · 12-27-2007, 11:55 AM

Use autofail, set it to 1 good, and play easy songs. It will be frustrating at first, but it is by far the fastest way to learn how to hit accurately.

**l Endorphin l** · 12-27-2007, 12:39 PM

Play spread.
Use Speed mods.
Practice.
People can't really tell you how to, if your hands aren't built for it in the first place.

So...Practice.

Unless you get nervous, then autofail will only make things worse.
When I try to use autofail, and it fails me, it just gets me a little frustrated.
Until finally I can't even PA the song.
