people ever ask you how u see every note

**Stewie7Griffin** · 12-5-2007, 08:46 PM

my friends and parents ask me this question all the time "HOW DO U EVEN SEE THE NOTES THEY GO TO FAST AND TO MANY????" i jus tell them "its basicly like a language. its just like english or spanish. u hear the word or letter or read it and u jus know wut it is. its just like reading english. when ur reading this forum post its jus like us playing ffr" i think thats the best explaination of how FFRist's can read the notes btw idk bout u all but i speak fluent FFRese

People always ask me if I memorized it or something, because it's too fast for them to read.

GasesAreFluids · 12-5-2007, 08:49 PM

I would say it becomes a matter of developing muscle memory and visual reflex for certain combinations of arrows and/or patterns such that we learn to map them to our fingers and also learn to adjust hitting speed depending on the tempo of the music the steps follow.

~HentaiXXX~ · 12-5-2007, 08:53 PM

They do ask, but right after they tell me to get a life......pricks....

sexyinpink · 12-5-2007, 08:53 PM

aren't brains amazing!

**pastapiggy** · 12-5-2007, 09:03 PM

Meh, when friends/relatives watch me play stepmania, they think I memorize the charts.

**ninjaKIWI** · 12-5-2007, 09:16 PM

Mine just say "F-ck, you're pro", even though I know I'm not.

**gabgabo** · 12-5-2007, 09:21 PM

Me too, my friend are simply amazed and I don't tell them I'm so bad at it and they think I'm the best player.

**Fantasticone** · 12-5-2007, 09:22 PM

I just say that is it motion memory and memorization by sound.

jokim · 12-5-2007, 09:32 PM

Haha. Well. I actually memorized pattern, I got used to see patterns repeating.

at first I just played what I saw, then get used to see the repetitions, Then I could play faster and faster without missing, then the jumps.... now stuck at jumpstreams xD

Just a matter of time, I like your reading comparison, I'd say it's pretty close

Solomine Gray · 12-5-2007, 09:37 PM

One thing interesting about this comparison is that study which proves we read words according to their first and last letters. For me, seeing patterns like runningmen and crossovers is sort of a similar experience; rather than reading each arrow, I see it and think "CROSSOVER! Do the pattern!" and my fingers just sort of react automatically.

Nice analogy.

Rubin0 · 12-5-2007, 09:41 PM

Just say "I'm godly". End of discussion.

**dtMaina** · 12-5-2007, 09:52 PM

Mine say pretty much all of the above.

Anything ranging from "How do you see the notes?" to "You are a god." Theres even an occasional "You memorized this beforehand, didn't you?"

**smartdude1212** · 12-5-2007, 09:54 PM

braille

**MystictheHedgehog** · 12-5-2007, 09:57 PM

I get told that I need a life...just from playing CIA Rave.

ShAiOnEi · 12-5-2007, 10:08 PM

I usually tell people it's my first time playing when I fc vertex beta. They're like "OMG NO WAI!"

silvercomet1525 · 12-5-2007, 10:10 PM

I tell them I look for patterns in the notes. And I get...

"You need to get a life"
"Those narrow Asian eyes probably help you see the arrows more easily"
"You don't hit the notes, you mash"
"You memorized the notes"
"You're insane"
"Stop showing off"
"Holy crap"

Or a combination of the above. And I hope to god the second one was just a joke.

**ELRayford** · 12-5-2007, 10:17 PM

I am a closet FFR player.

[TeRa] · 12-5-2007, 10:21 PM

people always bring up the "did you memorize that?"
at least in ITG

in FFR, the only time anyone's ever said something, they just asked "what are the different colors for", luckly that person was in band and understood what a 4th note and 8th note and all that stuff.

**EnR** · 12-5-2007, 10:22 PM

Rofl, i get asked this all the time, ppl are like amazed by my skillz on sm at school, there like "Dude wtf you have no life. How the **** do you see those" Then i say cuz im good

haha.

They also say "Your juts pressing random buttons", then i showed them what happens when you press random buttons on SM, you miss like mad
