Does a Better Hertz Monitor give a slight advantage over FFR?

[_DJ Vinyl_]

Quick Question

Does a better Hertz monitor make you better at the game?

60hz (what I use) is probably the worst right, but having a judge offset makes it better. To be honest I find that people that are good at the game use 144 hz or 240 hz.

Can I also ask what is your monitor Hz at and what division are you?

I'm a simple low tier division 2 but I'm gonna practice. Is having a high hertz monitor considered cheating?

Re: Does a Better Hertz Monitor give a slight advantage over FFR?

I'm D6 with 59-60hz and I do believe I'm just flipping a coin for certain AAAs. I don't believe I would get D7 with a 144hz+ monitor, but I do think I could move up to lvl93~94 for the simple reason that the gameplay is more smooth and it's going to cut a part of the random goods due to occasional choppiness.

It's worth trying, but I would need to adapt to it as well to really tell how much it can help.

It also depends on response time, using a wired keyboard to a 60hz monitor is way better than wireless. Can't argue with that

ffr caps out at 3 fps anyway so what could it possibly matter

As long as one person's hands are entering the inputs on a keyboard and the judgements of those inputs are not made more lenient than standard settings, you can do whatever the hell you want lol

Steroidmanias anyone??

also old shitty 60fps monitors work best btw, at least they do with sm3.9 and legacy ffr engines

Re: Does a Better Hertz Monitor give a slight advantage over FFR?

the real secret no one wants you to know is that the pro players actually use dance pads as well as a keyboard, for extra key taps per second

120hz w/ lightboost gave me a large skillboost when I got it and 60hz looks horrible now

I've always used a 60. Just bought a 144, and I don't notice a difference.

having more hertz doesn't really matter all that much. only thing it does is make the notes move along the screen more smoothly. I can see this making a difference with higher scroll speeds and more dense files, but at lower skill levels it shouldn't really matter. FPS can be a bigger factor than simply how many hertz you got. more frames mean you have more chances to hit the note within the note timing. of course more frames means screen tearing which can be helped by having more hertz on your monitor.

so really, it COULD help, and i would get a better monitor if you can, but its most certainly not required to be "good".

Did you change your framerate in-game to 144+ ?
