@ You who told me to play SM to improve...

**Mythix** · 11-4-2009, 01:59 PM

So I was complaining I had troubles improving.

So I got a ton of advice "play SM".

Well, now I've played SM since summer vacation, I've gone from 20% greats on 10's to AAAing some 12s, and I've had zero greats on Through the Fire before I missed some because I was shaking.

Anyways, during this period I expected to improve.

So to all you who propose SM to improve on FFR...

**** YOU. SRSLY!

When I went to SM instead I had like 1-10 good runs ALWAYS on VC's on FFR.. Now I just got 50 good on songs I have SDG'ed and 30 good on songs I've AAA'ed. And an occasional fluke run.

The only thing better is my stamina. Obv. Because of vibradumpfiles on cool songs. AAHTFIAUHGG)USG

I'm raging :@

Play SM. You'll get better.

**One Winged Angel** · 11-4-2009, 02:03 PM

haha this happened to me too

then I stopped caring about FFR and just played SM because it was more fun anyways...came back to FFR one day without expecting to get any good scores but instead nailed a bunch of **** I couldn't even touch before

skill jumps only happen when you're not anticipating them lol

Same here.

There was a time when I couldn't even do 6's and 7's, now I can pass FGO's, because of SM. Stop whining, you haven't played both enough. Just practice and shut the hell up.

7 years of SM made me an FFR beast

You just have to know what to play to improve.
SM has a much larger variety of files which is why it's definitely the choice for getting better.

If you just play SM expecting to get better without actually practicing things you suck at of course you won't get better.

I've basicly only played jumpstream since that's my biggest aber on FFR, I've also tried playing speed songs but mostly jumpstream and songs like AT~, not to mention FFR mega packs >:]

I guess I've taken 2(?) billion "ffr" points on SM and all my scores on FFR has gone down the drain in the same pace they've gone up on SM.......

SM doesn't make you better at FFR, it's just good advertisement

Actually, play 6-key. It's the best for improving FFR.

You have to take into account that SM and FFR are two completely different games, even though the overall arrowsmash concept is the same. Even if you can MA on SM that does not mean that you'll have good PA on FFR, even if FFR's timing windows are looser. Mostly depends on how well you can read and how smooth flash and FFR run on your computer as compared to SM where you're constantly running at ~60 FPS.

So choose one or the other. If you stick with FFR, you're more likely to have bad MA on SM due to stricter timing windows. If you stick with SM, you're more likely to play worse on FFR due to your inability to read FFR notes while running at ~30FPS. Not to say that there aren't people who can perfectly play well on both but as a majority, people tend to be good at one but not the other.

Tera is spot on with this statement. This is one of the reasons why people choose SM over FFR. FFR has a limited selection of files to play from (not to mention file quality is terrible ugh) as compared to SM where megapacks are constantly being released and appeal to a much wider audience. SM doesn't make you play better on FFR but rather it helps build your skill, such as accuracy, reading, speed, vibrating etc.
