Good job.

But You need to work on your PA/MA. As in how many marvs/perfects you're getting.

You don't see to have much trouble hitting the arrows, but you're PA is really hindering your ability to do well. Concentrate on hitting marvelous, and try to get your great count down. Don't worry so much about missing...just the PA. You can get rid of misses later. PA is the key to being really good.

I can't do well on this stepfile without putting it on 1.1 or 1.2 speed.

Good job, though. I've been trying to AA it too but I guess it's not going to happen for a while :F

Actually, I suggest you completely ignore PA until you have no trouble hitting arrows better. It's the easiest way to become a well-rounded player. You aren't ready to manipulate your development yet.

Privateer, he can already FC the song.

Goods and boo's are due to a shitty PA.

I never get them untill the song is really fucking fast/a slip up, so a few.

Alls he has to workon is PA now, imo.

Thats what I said.

Goods and boo's are due to you going offbeat, you really didn't miss.

Either that or you mashed or something and got them.

Still, cut down on greats and you'll score like 5 million higher on everything you play. You

If he can't FC Eggman's Quasar with ease, there is no way he can fine tune his gameplay yet. He has a lot of other things to take care of.

Just keep working on tackling your FCs on progressively harder songs, and then you can worry about your PA.

Still...
I can't fc eggmans quasar with 1 hand, but i can get like 6 greats.

PA > Speed.

If it was different, people like jello would be better than me. Its more about control, technique. He will gain that by working the PA.

Im not saying play simple stuff, gatta play hard stuff to improve, but work on the PA a bit.

Yep.
See, I AA'd Max 300 on foot (at the arcade) yesterday and I didn't FC. It was because my PA was very high. You can get really low greats but still AA very easily even if you miss. For example, when I AA'd Uber Rave for the first time (now it's really easy but I still don't FC), I had quite a few miss/boo/good, but very low greats.

Working on your PA is much more important then working on FCing things.

That post made no sense, Reach. I barely get your point.

What I'm trying to say is, you will become a better player overall if you nearly max out on your speed before you work on your PA. Not only that, but you will accomplish this faster. That's what I did, and it returned incredible results. I played Stepmania almost everyday from February to November without fine tuning my timing, and after I did, it was incredibly easy to, because I had completely mastered reading arrows (not a problem, anyway), and command of my fingers.

I guess the difference between working on your PA now and later is how well you do in the long run. Take my advice, LD. You shouldn't care about letter grades now.

I guess I am trying to do it Privateer's way. I'm working on being able to pass things and then when I can pass everything I want, i'll pass them with good grades.

Either way works, but it's just a preference thing.

I stand strong on my arguement. If you go my way, you'll get the better results.

What didn't make sense? read it again.

PA > Speed.

He obviously has speed. And he plays with 4 fingers. He doesn't have to worry about speed. At all. He needs to worry about PA. Once he can hit mostly marvs, he'll gain control over his fingers anyway. Honestly, after learning to play 4 fingers over the last few weeks, thats all its about anyway. Its easy to move your fingers fast with 4, you just have to control it.

ANYWAY

i don't think it matters. As long as he keeps playing, he'll get better. haha. It was just my suggestion. Thats how I got better. I played hard stuff, and concentrated on hitting the arrows with perfs/marvs, I didn't play it just to pass it. If I failed, whatever, I probably beat it the week after with an A or something, cause of the PA.

His speed is crap right now. If he had speed, quasar would have been a one try FC or maybe a good or something. He had to try 20 times to get a near FC.
