I've been here over 5 years and I still can't AA VCs...

**NekoGon** · 03-31-2012, 06:32 AM

11-12k gameplays in a span of 1-1.5 years to get FGO AAAs/mid-high FGO SDGs. I have prior rhythm game experience though (O2Jam). Also half the playcount spent on a shitty, bulky keyboard before i decided that it's impossible to do FGOs properly with this one and got a much better one for only 6-7 US dollars (got me some sick stepmania scores before the keyboard died a year later)

Took me a year to get Heavy, another year to get an FMO, and then another year to get a FGO AAA

**CoolRun** · 03-31-2012, 07:58 AM

After switching from split to spread around the 5 year mark, it took me about half a year to AAA my first VC.

**Poison-** · 03-31-2012, 08:42 AM

I believe I joined in November 2010, and my first AAA was a 5 (Secret Zombie Room). I was getting 9's in January and by March I was getting 10's. Then I got my first FMO in June.

Longer than it took me to grow the little bit of stache that I have.

A little over a year to get my first FMO AAA, around 2.5 years to get my first FGO AAA. No prior rhythm gaming experience but 15 years of piano helps.

The key to getting really good and fast aside from practicing is a good mechanical keyboard. If you can hear the keytaps while playing then it'll really help your accuracy.

**Findarian** · 03-31-2012, 12:42 PM

1-2 years, really depends on if you're counting "able to" or "got" because I don't go for aaas hardly ever xD

**flashpantss** · 03-31-2012, 12:44 PM

Took me about 3 years for a VC. Then another year to get a FMO. Still no FGO though, but I do have a couple of BF's.

Depends on the person, could take a range from 1-4 Years.

icontrolyourworld · 03-31-2012, 01:07 PM

i'd say 1.5-2 years sounds about right (give or take)

**Hakulyte** · 03-31-2012, 01:12 PM

I really think having someone next to you telling you exactly why you mess and what to work on could speed up that process a ton.

That's something that I really have to improve, my accuracy. I ALWAYS get a lot of goods on songs when I really shouldn't be. What speed is best to play on?

**ScarletSky** · 03-31-2012, 09:46 PM

It took me years of rhythm gaming (ddr, guitar hero, iidx, stepmania) practice, and about 4 months of FFR.

But I could probably barely FC any FMOs now because of not playing, etc.
