Standalone Guide RushyRulz's Official FFR Picture Dictionary lxDestinyxl's How to get better Guide

---------------------------------------------------
Hello Newcomer Welcome to the insanity we call FFR!

If this is your first time here and you've made your account already, you probably want to play some songs right?

Well I am here to give you a list of fun enjoyable and easy songs for you to play to get used to the game, I will Dedicate this to songs all the way to difficulty (12)

The first thing you need to know as a newcomer, is that you need to set that speed mod!
you may have seen some replays and thought "Woah! that was really fast!"
but trust me it is a good way to start off knowing how to handle a good tempo/speed.

I Suggest that you raise your Speed mod to at least (1.5) it is a good starting speed and will make the files I list much more fun to play!
-----------------------
Here are a list of songs in order from difficulty 1-12that i think would be your best bet to start!

-Power-
Power is the easiest song in FFR and shall prove that if you can pass this it will teach you anything is possible, it is located in (Dance) Genre

mmmm, great thread idea :J


I suggest the difficulty 4 song Love to the list. It's a short song, with a catchy melody and slowly introduces the player to hitting jumps (important!). I "love"d this song when I began FFR, as it was the staple song that slowly transitioned me into the next level of difficulty.

House Leaves -Short- was my biggest practice song evar.

If you list the difficulty, genre and a short bio on it i'll be happy to add it

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Good idea Jprox but maybe even covering all the difficulties in general and even then noting songs to practice patterns, Linking to the FAQ, Linking to the picture dictionary would all be great additions to your post. Also throw a link to the standalone info in there please.

Nice thread. I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened it, but nice job nevertheless.

Thanks Middie :3 I was actually thinking of that but wasnt sure if I was aloud to do that

Picture dictionary was the first thing i want with this, Standalone is a good idea too since not alot of people know how to find it.

...and AAA, Gaussian Blur 3, CIA Rave, and most of {Rose} and {Blaze}, are all 9's which are amazing for 16th stream practice.

Added.
+ I just ment that in a metaphorical way.. you know.. to lift some spirits?

[igotrhythm]

Wait, Forsaken Neon got bumped to 10? About damn time. 14 tps streams/trills is over the top for a 9. (Also, Shihen and Purple have streams that are about that fast.)

I'd suggest Bit Blue for 10s, as it gives you two things: Jump trills and hands, as well as more elaborate jump chains.

A quick tip. If you want to deliberately show tags in your post or if you want to prevent certain character sequences from appearing, you can use the [noparse][/noparse] tag's.

For example, using those tag's, you would get:

instead of:

Fixed*
Thought it was a 10... just came off the top of my head >.>

[TC_Halogen]

It used to be a VC, quite some time ago. It got brought down to a Challenging level file due to short length and relatively easy pattern selection (despite the speed).

[jprox445]

this was originally supposed to be a new comer list... but with songs all the way to 12... is it really worthy anymore :c

because by the time your FC'ing 9's are you really a newbie anymore?

[CrucifyS2]

I'm reviving an old thread here.. I can FC just about any song up to about 50.. Beyond that, it gets way too difficult for me.

I've been playing Rythem games since way back in the Guitar Hero 1 days. I've been at the top of the competitive brackets. This shit, in the 60's and beyond blows my mind. I can't keep up, nor can i figure out how the hell some of you are able to master these tracks.

[rushyrulz]

Probably should have made a new thread given the OP is permabanned or otherwise never coming back.

General rule of thumb for improving is to play songs that are 5-10 levels higher than your FC comfort zone. You'll get better by playing these songs primarily.

[gold stinger]

naw, OP made a new account. He probably doesn't even remember this thread anymore though.
