![]() Hello. I am Chellex. I am quite new to the whole keyboard dancing scene so I would like to open this poll.
What is your favorite speed and why? Right now I am playing FFR in the R^3 engine at 1.5 speed although sometimes I feel like if I get used to 2.0 speed then I will be able to read the arrows better because of spacing. Coming from guitar hero is a bit challenging considering I am now using two hands but only using two fingers on each hand. Hyper Speed on GH was also very helpful. The only problem is when I switch my speed in FFR to 2.0 then my scores start dropping and I start missing arrows more often. Any solution? Thanks in advance and happy smashing! ![]() |

![]() Try lower mods, you can try 1.5-2.0 don't rush things. Going from 1.5 to 2.0 is quite a big jump. I would suggest trying 1.6, 1.7 and so on.

![]() Personally I use 1.8. Thats about C540.
If you're not having problems hitting the arows on 1.5, but you are on 2.0, It's because you're having trouble reading the patterns. Maybe go up to 1.6 or 1.7 and play there untill you can easily read and respond to everything that comes up, and the arrows aren't bluring on you. Once you get comfortable there, bump up the speed multiplier again.

![]() my speed is usually 1.85x or 1.9x. Sometimes I will go to 1.75x if I don't know what is happening to my fingers that day.
2.4x or 2.2x on R^3. |

![]() yo what's the equivalent of X2 (Legacy) in R^3?
edit: also @OP just pick a speed and stick with it. Getting used to a faster speed is sometimes harder than just sticking with your own. |

![]() 2.2x Screencut (Roughly equivalent to 2.6x without) - A lot of this comes from me slowly bumping my speed mod up over the years, the majority of the files i play nowadays are 66+ so the density becomes much easier to read for me on this speed mod. I use a partial screencut in order to make my window size roughly the same as velo since R^3 window is much larger.
There is a pretty wide variety in preferred speed mods, and there are plenty of people who use one that is lower than the average so don't feel like you need to raise it. If you decide that you want to increase your speed mod, do it slowly (increments of .2 at most)

![]() I use 2.7 on 60 FPS. Debating 2.8.
It's really just try to get to around 1.75 or so as the comfort zone and you'll be pretty golden save for the really fast charts. But if you can do adjust to 60FPS. It makes it super easy to transfer between Stepmania and FFR visually, at least for me. |

![]() 1.9x velocity / legacy
I havent spent enough time on R^3 to get a good setup. I usually do 2.0 with screencut |

![]() Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Seeing everyone's speedmod makes me feel slow. ![]() |

![]() ~2.3 to 3 is generally a nice area to play around on R^3. Even if you do poorly at first just stick with it. Personally I've found the best way to get used to a new speedmod is to simply wait until you're comfortable at your current speedmod then gradually increase it.
Though, I did this in steps of 1~2x until I reached my current favourite of 12x, that might not apply so much normally >.>

![]() I use 1.6 speed, but that's just b/c I'm new.
And what are screen cuts? |

![]() I've been using 2.3x on R^3 and I appear to perform best with this speed. If I lower it or raise it anywhere above or below that I do worse.
I don't think you should feel like you're slow. I've seen many using a lower speed mod. I have no clue how they do so well since the arrows are much closer but it works for some people. I think screencut in R^3 makes the window size the same/similar to velocity? Not sure. |

![]() I'm a lot more likely to change my speemod by 100ths or 1000ths of the decimal, like 2.745x to 2.755x, or 2.741x to 2.749x. Sometimes I even have speemods like 2.77957. People might question if such a little change like that would make any difference, but it actually does lol (for me). I generally stay between 2.7~2.9
