Mandra's exploits

[Mandragora]

Shamelessly flaunt my talents will I!

Ok, so I can't do any of the insane ones worth crap. My greatest accomplishment is FCing Breaking the Common. Question: How do you guys get to be able to do stuff like Rondo Alla Turca? Any tips?

[Nima]

ok, keep playing its almost all practice... start off on easier levels and slowly move up... it took me a long time after fcing breaking the common before i could do well on the others

For the songs that overwhelm you with volleys of arrows that seem imcomprehensible. Just take both hands, set ur index and middle finger on the bottom and left arrow, respectively, with your left hand. Take your right hand and place your pointer finger on the up arrow and your middle finger on the right arrow. Then, with discretion, type madly on the keyboard, this usually gets me through those extremely confusing periods of nothing but arrows and no spaces with almost getting all of them in some kinda huge combo. It's best not to simotanesouly press all 4, but alternate each hand.

Yes. That's what you should do

[RobbyZero]

ive been playing sm and it does nothing but fuck me up on ffr....

[Arch0wl]

Rondo alla turca is offbeat, it has tons of turns, and most people usually cheat on it. Need I say more?

[eldiabo3005]

hHow do you cheat? By hacking or what?

[Brainmaster07]

Cheat as in key smash? well... yeah, almost everyone does that and I wish it would stop. Oh, and yes, rondo is VERY off beat. Theres something like 1.5 times to many doubles in all those double runs...

And... if you can FC BTC, you should be able to own just about any classic song... just run through it a few times to get a feel for it.

[Moogy]

I've played Rondo far too many times... not only is it ridiculously offbeat with the doubles, there's a lot of glitched notes, so the highest combo you can get is like 570 or something... Don't bother with it... I only play it because the song is kickass.

[Nima]

no, i could FC btc for a long time... Ok unless you're gonna button smash which will get you a shit score, you just need practice

[Mandragora]

A) I don't button mash
B) Generalize, I was using Rondo as an example of the type of difficulty
C) I refuse to make this a two-hand game
D) I've done Stepmania and not enjoyed it

[plasmix]

You can't not like Stepmania and like FFR.

[Kagome]

True... True

[MikeyFox]

no key smashing here! ^<U>.</U>^
