Do you ever space out while playing FFR?...

RageDemon · 02-3-2004, 04:53 PM

but still manage to hit most/all of the arrows with perfect/good accuracy?

altairian · 02-3-2004, 05:00 PM

yeah, I do it all the time. Doesn't affect my playing at all, because even when I'm concentrating I don't actively process the arrows...

**Reach** · 02-3-2004, 05:02 PM

not really.

i always concentrate. SM doesn't matter as much cause combo doesn't mean anything...but ffr you can't miss :/

Yanah_God · 02-3-2004, 05:57 PM

spacing out is HOW i am so good

I really suck at it when I concentrate

**Cenright** · 02-3-2004, 06:06 PM

I am either in the mindset or not. I only play when I am in the groove, so that I don't frustrate my self. That means I always have full concentration when I am playing.

ZEROED · 02-3-2004, 06:07 PM

reach, in SM, the combo doesnt count towards score or anything?

**Reach** · 02-3-2004, 06:17 PM

Zeroed

No, the combo does ass. Nothing at all... aside from tell you how long you combo'd.

hEaLiNgViSiOnAnGeLicMiX · 02-3-2004, 06:20 PM

Alot of times yes. Too many distractions. Parents freaking out, people CONSTANTLY mesaging me when my stats are set to away, etc... so yeah, it's hard to find time to have complete concentration on the game.

Lupin_the_3rd · 02-3-2004, 06:29 PM

i stare blankly at the screen, and i press the arrows even though i'm not actively thinking about it

concentration messes me up--it's kind of like art for me:

if i try hard to make a drawing look good in art and concentrate on it, it sucks, if i let my wander, it is like hax

Brainmaster07 · 02-3-2004, 06:31 PM

You mean there's people that look at the arrows? pfft. I know I don't, I look at the pretty combo counter :P.

makaveli121212 · 02-3-2004, 06:32 PM

yeah i know what you mean...it happens to me often when you are just amazed youre actually hitting the arrows because youre mind is in a sort of unconcious state

hEaLiNgViSiOnAnGeLicMiX · 02-3-2004, 06:32 PM

The combo counter distracts me alot. In DDR, numbers of the combo appear BEHIND the arrows. In ffr, it appears overtop, so it kinda blocks the view sometimes. Hey, I should tell Synth about that...>.>

Anticrombie0909 · 02-3-2004, 06:34 PM

I do. My eyes kind of glaze over and I let autopilot take over...that's really when I got over my hump and started getting good, when I realized I could just let my fingers do the work. If I think about it I do really bad and my timing is way off.

Privateer · 02-3-2004, 06:47 PM

I had a sweet long post made for this, but fuck it. Yes, I space out lok. Second thoughts on posting that reply I had ready.

I look at the timing window on SM. For FFR I look at the stationary arrows because it helps me get the perfects since the song isn't synced with the arrows.

**lightdarkness** · 02-3-2004, 07:13 PM

yes
i do
and i play much better that way
and i dont even look at the arrows
just at the screen

i imagine it would be pretty easy to glaze over if the only songs you can play was mario and skellybones

qualy · 02-3-2004, 07:53 PM

I just stare at the combo counter not really paying attention to the arrows.

jewpinthethird · 02-3-2004, 09:12 PM

I just begin to stare and stop thinking entirely. Really, like my freakin brain shuts off. It's weird. Sometimes I do it will driving too...which isnt good. That is why I cant drive automatic.

chillywilly · 02-3-2004, 09:16 PM

lol i just did that today. i was playing one song, and i was looking at the backround, and it was neon green squares, and after like 2 mintes i was like HOLY SHIT ITS AN X!!!!11!1!1 and then the song was over.

AnythingCrimson · 02-4-2004, 12:33 AM

Yeah, I space out too...whats really been catching my attention lately, which everyone is going to notice now, is the two little white things that shoot out from the combo number when you continue your combo. Every arrow you get, those little white things fly across the screen.
