AAAing

[jvizzlez]

Now that FFR Air is out, I was planning on AAAing the easier/easiest files in FFR, working my way up all the difficulties, as many have done before. The problem I have is that these files are really boring to me. The absence of random horrible lag will help immensely, but even assuming I AAA every single file I play, it would take me forever to AAA even a small chunk of the songs on FFR, and I can't help but feel like I'll inevitably get bored and go back to playing harder files.

For those of you that have made the journey before, or those that have done similar on SM/etc., do you have any tips that could help me maintain my sanity? My plan right now is to AAA anywhere from between 30 minutes to an hour or so a day, breaking up the payload by quite a bit, and perhaps occasionally going back to play harder files.

And I really don't mean any offense to those that have made these files, I respect the amount of effort that goes into charting songs, but playing files like Power for a good hour or so... may have me dozing off.

Re: AAAing

-Queuing songs can reduce the load times and the decisions made.
-Sorting your levelranks by rank will give you the songs you need to work on most
-Try not to treat it like a chore, forget the numbers. If you're always looking forward to seeing those stats at the end, you'll never enjoy the time you spend getting them. (Multiplayer can aid with keeping your mind set in the present)

I've AAA'd every file 1-70

Re: AAAing

yah i had 1300 aaas once upon a time myself too and I gotta say I've attempted to reget a lot of them and idk how I did the first time cause it is mad boring...

moria gave some good tips, just play you're worst rank or if you're like me look for the "shortest" songs to aaa first

Re: AAAing

Best you don't force it. Set a daily goal or something. Skip the legacy files because psure they won't be in your public ranks much longer.

Re: AAAing

Its something you have to want in my opinion. I've cleared upto 50 with one 43 being an exception. I enjoy doing this, I don't like mashing through songs that are out of my league so playing easier files for the AAA is frustrating but the best path for my enjoyment.

Re: AAAing

Do like 30 a day and you'll be done in a reasonable time, remember you'll probably start to struggle after like 500 or 600 songs since they will become more challenging, so the boring part won't last as long as initially expected

30 a day? jesus

Re: AAAing

I usually would get 20-25 a day

Re: AAAing

I sort my level ranks by difficulty. I play a song once. I either AAA,or go to the next song. It helps the sanity and you don't develop mind blocks as often.

Re: AAAing

don't start at the bottom and work your way up from there, you'll tire out incredibly quickly...this isn't something I'd done myself since there was only an eighth or so of public files in game compared to now when I first started playing for AAAs, so I didn't experience burnout or anything, but I'd try creating batches of five charts of varying difficulty

pick something free in the 1-10 range, pick something relatively challenging for your level of play but certainly obtainable within a few tries at most, and then partition out three more files within that range separated in difficulty approximately equally

e.g. something like a 6, a 20, a 33, a 47, and a 60, if 60 was the 'challenging' cap

play a batch or two a day like that, more if you feel like it...the nice thing is that FFR chart difficulty distribution is relatively normal in that there are few very easy and very hard charts, most charts being in the old VD/C/VC range...even the most talented players can agree that charts in that range have potential to be quite fun when blowing past them for AAA

Good advice for real. There's going to be a range of difficulties where maintaining focus is such a chore that you can only tolerate 1 to 2 charts at a time before going insane or losing focus altogether and making a mistake.

One day when the game runs properly for me I'll go after AAAs again, it's fun to see how far you can go with it.

30 a day isnt really that bad lol. Especially when you have really low levels and/or pretty short songs under 2 minutes.

Re: AAAing

Utilize the filters to only show songs equal to or less than 90 seconds, there's your tv size aaa farm
