Newbie question

inflames07 · 02-21-2007, 05:43 PM

I've been playing this game quite a bit. I've been playing since January 4th I guess. Anyways I can play just about any songs up to difficult, and can only play some difficult songs. I don't know why, but I'm not getting any better. And I do practice, I play about everyday. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips other than "practice".

Edit: My main problems are the streams of jumps with single notes in between. To me, those are freaking impossible. My other problem is complicated streams in most songs harder than Difficult.

have you tried screen shrinking?

inflames07 · 02-21-2007, 05:50 PM

If that is minimizing the screen and scrolling up, then yes I have. If it isn't, then no.

You can experiment with different finger positions like index, spread, or whatever.
I am not that good at FFR but i always played one handed 3 fingered.
Then I switched to spread and now instead of a 500,000 point max per song, I got my first over 1 million score recently after a week or so of switching!
Try it!

What's spread?

Spread is a finger set-up. Most commonly the left arrow down arrow with the left hand. And the 8 and 6 numberpad keys with the right. It's a way of having one finger for every arrow. And quite commonly used by the better players.

Oh... I already do that haha...

Then you just need to practice really. Less than two months is NOT a long to be playing this. The vast majority of top players on this game have been playing (or some other version) for well over a year.
