Effect of Energy Drinks

[gausmaster]

The Brain of the Moon 1,471,990 - 2,438,460 = +1,000,000
Pupil of Frenzy 1650215 - 1826255 = +150,000
Faces 1824445 - 2262660 = +438,000
Hardcore of the North 1085100 - 1525340 = +44,000(npb)
Carol Megamix 1092415 - 1748500 = +65,000

Above are before and after scores for 5 pretty hard songs. The first colum represents the first play of the song. The second represents the second play after having an energy drink. The third represents how many more points i got the second time then the firstrounded. I did restart Brain of the Moon the second play because major laggage and Carol Megamix because I forgot to turn the screen quality down.
For me, the performace enhancement of a Rockstar energy dring is very real. I challenge the FFR comunity to take this test and either verify what I am finding or post your objection to this theory. Five songs of your choice (near the top of oyur skill level), energy drink of your choice, repeat 5 songs. Warm up before doing your first colum test to keep everything accurate.


*edit*
I will play these songs 3 times each with no energy drinks tomorow. i will include PA info.

On easy songs such as the ones you played, A second time of course should be better. Your more familiarized with whats coming your way than the first. Also its called a warm-up. A lot of players tend to better on later plays than earlier plays. Energy drinks (only some) make you feel a bit more awake so if anything your more aware of the songs. Energy Drinks don't effect play no matter the circumstances. Its all in your head.

It'd be better if you posted complete stats (P/G/A/B/M/C) as well, because we don't know if it improved your PA or it's just combo improvement.

[gausmaster]

I couldnt get any more familiar with the songs, I have them mostly memorized. this is why i picked these songs.
Carol Megamix = 20 plays
Hardcore of the North = at least 40 plays
Pupil of Frenzy = 18 plays
Faces = 18 plays
Brain of the Moon = almost 50 plays!

**edit**
PA these are the only sets that saved in replays.

Hardcore of the North 858 - 119 - 7 - 15 - 13 585 combo 1,085,100
Hardcore of the North 917 - 80 - 2 - 0 - 6 999 combo 1,525,340

Carol Megamix 1,082 - 130 - 3 - 10 - 25 465 combo 1,092,415
Carol Megamix 1,145 - 74 - 4 - 2 - 10 1,099 combo 1,748,500

An Energy Drink Every Once in a while can make improvement, but if you're like me and have one or more every day then they start to lose effect, because your body is getting used to the caffine.

I just drank a monster khaos and i couldn't FC RunnyMorning(which I have done without an energy drink)

From your results it improves your combo and accuracy.

And What kind of rockstar are you drinking? I've been looking for a new drink for weeks. Rockstar Punched worked for me one time.

This couldn't have been said in the other thread?

[gausmaster]

Omg I sooo freakin love punch. There is only one place in my town that sells it though, and when there out I have to drive to a gas station in the middle of freaking nowhere and buy the super large can and drink the whole thing and stay up for 24 hours longer then i should.

*edit*

Rzr your prolly right but I thought this was kind of a different subject. This was me trying to use facts and numbers to prove a point. Both threads have their purpose.

What facts.
There's nothing here showing that it makes anyone any better.
All your showing is the difference between a first and a second play.

[gausmaster]

I showed how many times i have played the songs. That is a fact. I know every part of all 5 of thoes songs. That is a fact. My combos and PA both improved. That is a fact.

Its in your head kid.
Use science to prove it, don' say "Look at my scores, they got better cuz I drank rockstar before i played". That doesn't prove anything. The only fact here is that you did better than your previous run.

OMG I AAAed Hardcore of the North a year ago while drinking Amp'd!! =O
