I'll try one day though

leonid >:O

Seriously, give it a whirl -- you'll see what I mean relatively quickly. It's an AMAZING way to practice hard files.

I see
I'll try right after the tournament is over.

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

I guess that came off wrong?
I wasn't implying anything about me doubting Rubix's legitimacy, I do believe Rubix is legit.

My post was a reply to leonid's post on the page before about how he had played at that meetup he held, and therefore those 3 can back up each others legitimacy. I was simply stating that even playing in front of someone doesn't prove that person hasn't cheating in the past, or won't cheat in the future.

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

Reason why I advocate this approach is that you see exactly where you screw up the hardest. Most of DP is AAA fodder except for four sections, which I have in four different files (the 24th trills with the grace notes, the clusters after the slow part, the ending jump****s, and the final megatrill).

The trill files are kinda easy, but the jumpglut files are invaluable. You learn how to read them and how fast they really are. Without mashing, your scores go up like ****. Much like RATO, most scores on the files are crap because of overmashing, and as we can see with beginning FFR players who also mash on easy files, mashing comes into play when we can't read things or if we misgauge the speed. DP and RATO aren't absurdly fast such that they require mashing (although I did mash a bit on RATO), and, at least for me, it was a reading issue. It's also partially risk aversion. If you have a FC up until that point, you're going to mash to maintain it.

Learn to read the ending, figure out how fast it really is, know what's coming, don't mash, and you'll get a better score and thank me later for it.

God I feel like an episode of Tass Tips

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

@TeRa: I agree with you in that case. I apologize.

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

I'd call BS, but the $1000 requirement to call bs is currently out of my fiscal range =[

Kidding about bs, Rubix go play psychopath

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

Even though you were watching me and could see/hear everything?

Alright you know what, I seriously don't care anymore. If you want to improve your DP, get the RAR. If you want to keep mashing like a tard, go right ahead.

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

@Rubix white texts, dumbass

Actually I did the similar to what Rubix did when I tried to AAA piano etude gymnastics.

The practice file is still available in the simfile database.

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

Oh, didn't see the white text -_-

Seriously though I don't know why people aren't giving the rar a shot. It's a fukken godsend.

[leonid]

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

Does it contain FFR Engine?

As I said before, I didn't give it a shot because of the trills. I'll begin trying to improve jacking skills on Wednesday.

People didn't use it mostly because they didn't know how to run it

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

Bwahaha Tricked Rubix for a few second. Life is now complete.

As far as the rar goes, I just think most people find files like DP and RATO outside of their comfort range, and as such don't really attack them correctly. It's probably why a lot of people haven't been downloading the files. Also obligatory people are sacred of new things

[MrRubix]

Re: ALMOST (but fully) THERE, EAG DOMINATED

True. But the engine's easy enough to set up.

This is a good point too. I feel like those two files get horribly underplayed to begin with because they're just seen as "obvious mashfiles" that people FC and call it good. Putting some time into things shows that mashing isn't necessary on these files.
