Does pressure affect gameplay?
I haven't created a thread on the brag board since I don't have much proof of me playing because I play on the upstairs computer which has no internet and I don't have any flash drives on hand and I jammed my CD tray.
I was on the upstairs computer last night and I was showing my friend's brother my skill level of Stepmania since he was curious how good I was and I surprised even myself. I got 6 perfects on Ageha with him standing behind me watching. I don't know if it was the pressure that made me do better, but I know one thing. I can't get under 16 perfects on Ageha today. I never thought I could ever be so close to AAAA'ing a song like that. In other news: I found out that I can get a pretty decent combo on B.B. Revenge with rate 1.2x.

Re: Does pressure affect gameplay?
There are certain people that bring skill out of me, and I call them my lucky charms. Even though I'm running out of songs to improve on, I got rank 25 on Death Piano, booflagged K8107, and AAAd Gaussian Blur (5th FMO AAA ever) recently while my friend was in the room... weird.

Re: Does pressure affect gameplay?
Agreed. Whenever I play at my friend's house, both the pressure to do well combined with the fact that his keyboard is completely amazing helps me get scores I couldn't possibly achieve at home by myself. Examples include the vast majority of my sightread challenging and very challenging AAAs, my AIM AAA, and my CP score.

Re: Does pressure affect gameplay?
In most cases pressure does affect someone's PA or combo abilities.

Re: Does pressure affect gameplay?
I thought this was about typing pressure and not peer pressure.
But yea get that adrealine pumping would be either for better or for worse.

Re: Does pressure affect gameplay?
I AAA'd None Would Escape today and all I felt was adrenaline. My family was in the living room with me but they don't care about FFR so they were watching TV.
I haven't tried attempting an OMG INSANE AAA while one of my friends are watching me. Maybe I should do that sometime.
