Default I can't MA

Jackhammers used to be my biggest weakness, but now I'm better even at them than I am at timing. I'm getting 10x as many perfects as I'd like to be getting on everything.

A bunch of these are sightreads. Unfortunately, some of them aren't, and I even had to try 5-10 times to get a few of these scores. These scores are all awful.

Beat this MA a few times, but only AAA'd one time. Could probably get a 50p AAA if I tried for a while, but even that'd be pretty lousy MA.


First AAA of this. Wouldn't mind losing 80 of the perfects, though.


First AAA of this, too. Pretty good for me. Doubt if I could beat it if I tried again.


Played about 5 times. Lousy score. Might be able to AAA with < 60p, but it'd take a while.


First try. Seemed OK for me. The file's so easy, I should be able to AAAA it, but that's not likely ever to happen.


Tough FC because of the jackhammers. Could probably AAA.


rofl


Tough to AAA. Could probably get it with < 60p.


This file is hard.


Could probably AAA. Messed up at a fairly easy, but slightly awkward part and got 3 greats.


First try.


Could probably AAA this too, but MA is still lousy.


I think I barely AA'd this last time I played it. First try today. Might be able to AAA though.


Pretty good for me. Ought to AAA though.


Sightread.


Tried twice, I think. PA was alright.


Possibly the most fun file ever. Wish I could do jackhammers. I got 10 greats before this, but with about 3x the CB's.


Might be able to AAA, but it's got some tough parts.


Oops. Good MA for me though. Previous best was 23p.


Second or third try.


I was too busy worrying about the jackhammer to bother AAA'ing.


How do people practice MA? Just play the same easy songs over and over and try to SDP? Play a bunch of different easy songs and try to AAA? Increase judge? Play files which are tough to AAA, but not really hard?

To practice MA you play slower songs I believe.

Will do.

Would installing ridiculous and/or increasing the judge be likely to help, or would it just mess me up even more? Also, I improved on a few of those scores since I posted.

Or maybe j6 and 1.2x rate.

Anyway, I guess I'll just keep doing what I did yesterday, and hope I see some improvement eventually. For me, speed is way easier to improve than timing. Maybe it's a partly a keyboard issue, but I doubt it.

Haha, my timing improved when I started not being afraid to hit my keyboard hard. Like, I got a 4p Ageha today, and it's cuz I was really feeling the rhythm. Dunno if it helped anyone else.

Lemme get something straight. If you wanted to quantify MA, it would be a ratio. So, for example, I could walk up to someone and say, "My MA is 100"

So when you say RA/MA are you referring to the ratio of two ratios? (200:1 RA /100:1 MA) "2" for example.

Or when you say RA/MA, are you referring to a quantified RA?

Edit: rockerforlife1 read the picture dictionary in FFR general

He means that he gets roughly the same quantity of marvelouses as I do perfects, and of perfects as I do greats.

EDIT: Some scores I got today.

Best AAA even if I've beaten the MA.


Could definitely AAA this, but I don't want to spend 25 minutes, or however long the song is, just to get a blackflag or something. Greats came at easy parts.


I'm still so bad at jackhammers that the minijacks in this song make it hard for me to AAA.


Jackhammer song.
