Playing competitively is going to wear you out. Much better to play for fun.

I'm having fun competing for top spots on the ladder.

I don't see how having fun and playing competitively are mutually exclusive.

I play for fun. Thank God I can't AAA anything, otherwise I probably would be in the same boat as you.

I miss playing for fun...

Right now I'm too focused on completing some goals:

-AAA every 1-8 (just going through them randomly)
-Playing every song on FFR
-FC'ing all songs
-After AAA'ing every 1-8, then 9's
-After AAA'ing every 9, then 10's

After I'm done with all that, I am going back to playing for fun (I hope). I just want to get all those files out of the way so I can play 9-12's for fun

You would probably be playing extremely competitively by the time you're able to AAA all 10's lol. You would just move on to trying to AAA all 11's, and then 12's.

Lol, well I've continuously tried to AAA an 11, but I just can't do it (closest I got was blackflag) so if I get a skill boost then I probably am destined to do that

Wait till you become a high tier player, you will see why those two begin to separate from each other.

I play for fun, It's fun to see how much better I am getting and see how many songs I can AAA.

I wish I could acquire this mindset. I have no control over my mentality about FFR and I play the game simply to get the best scores that I possibly can, which in turn leads to extreme frustration. It's horrible and I don't know what to do other than stop playing, and that's not going to make me happy.

It's no fun if you can get a full AAA bar without much trouble.

It's also fun to post a replay of a blackflag run and make others ugh for you

I'd fall under the fun category right now. After being inactive for two years I haven't even played half of the songs in the game. There's no way I could be competitive right now

I rarely play nowadays too, even though I used to play for hours back when I was my best. But I definitely do agree that too a degree, the fun from FFR diminishes when you're too concerned with scores. Just lay back and chill while playing instead of sitting on the edge of your seat. xD

I never said that it was fun to get a full AAA bar without trouble; the most frustrating thing is knowing I have the skills needed to get past certain sections but not being able to beat them on FFR. I'm still extremely upset at the fact that I can AAA La Campanella on SM, but not on FFR.

Just one of the many reasons why this game starts to frustrate me.

It's always nice to show off to people in real life. They're usually in disbelief.
