Re: question for pros

I was at the point where I was barely aaa'ing level 10's in 2008 and it took me about 6 months to get there with like 2 hours a day put into the game. I then took a unwanted break and played again for a few months in 2009 but after a few months all that happened was I was about where I was before and the site crashed.
I came back to this site in october 2011 and after 2 years I was pretty terrible. All i did for a month or more was whore vrofl because the game was way too laggy to get better. Anyways fixed lag and started trying to get better in november. Beginning of november I was struggling to aaa 6's. Beginning of december I was starting to get 9's. Beginning of january I was steadily getting 10's. start of February and I was starting to get fmo aaa's. blah blah blah here I am now. Point of the horribly structured story is if you play this game 30-40 hours a week you will get good fast lol. Not saying I'm great or anything but in a month I will be ;D

Edit: should have mentioned this. Right before you go to bed or at least like an hour to 2 before try to play songs that are hard for you(try not to mash) and try to push your stamina to whatever limit you feel safe pushing it too. When you sleep anything you practice,techniques for anything is run through your brain and you can improve very fast keeping that in mind.
I applied this to skateboarding when I first began back in the day. I would always skate a lot in the day as well but I would mostly skate before I went to bed after about 1 month of skating. Instantly I was improving was faster. After 1 week I doubled my skill in 1/4 of the time basically. I also passed up all my friends who were better then me when we skated together in the day but I put in that extra time at night. DO EET

Re: question for pros

It took me 4 years but i spent 2 years as a one hander, and 1 year off FFR. Its mostly just practice makes perfect. Developing Muscle Memory, and when you get mindblocked, don't play the file for a few days, or alternate between mirrored and non-mirror, noteskins, dizzymod for when you cant (i.e tournament files). Though there are people who are alot better than me who have been playing for a lot less.

Re: question for pros

Not that I'm pro or anything, but it took 2 years for me to AAA a VC, but I didn't play hardcore until before the 4th official tourney. Now, 2 years later, I have one FMO AAA.

It takes a lot of grinding, rage, and carpel tunnel. :P dedication cuz ffr is lyfe u kno?~*

Re: question for pros

11-12k gameplays in a span of 1-1.5 years to get FGO AAAs/mid-high FGO SDGs. I have prior rhythm game experience though (O2Jam). Also half the playcount spent on a shitty, bulky keyboard before i decided that it's impossible to do FGOs properly with this one and got a much better one for only 6-7 US dollars (got me some sick stepmania scores before the keyboard died a year later)

Re: question for pros

Took me a year to get Heavy, another year to get an FMO, and then another year to get a FGO AAA

Re: question for pros

After switching from split to spread around the 5 year mark, it took me about half a year to AAA my first VC.

Re: question for pros

I believe I joined in November 2010, and my first AAA was a 5 (Secret Zombie Room). I was getting 9's in January and by March I was getting 10's. Then I got my first FMO in June.

Re: question for pros

How long did it take for you to get real good at ffr?

Longer than it took me to grow the little bit of stache that I have.

Re: question for pros

A little over a year to get my first FMO AAA, around 2.5 years to get my first FGO AAA. No prior rhythm gaming experience but 15 years of piano helps.

Re: question for pros

The key to getting really good and fast aside from practicing is a good mechanical keyboard. If you can hear the keytaps while playing then it'll really help your accuracy.

Re: question for pros

1-2 years, really depends on if you're counting "able to" or "got" because I don't go for aaas hardly ever xD

[flashpantss]

Re: question for pros

Took me about 3 years for a VC. Then another year to get a FMO. Still no FGO though, but I do have a couple of BF's.

Depends on the person, could take a range from 1-4 Years.
