how do you get through songs?

[quiddtich4]

do you have to concentrate on what your doing or does your mind blank out and your fingers just move and you have no idea how you got from point a to point b. or does it just come naturally? personally i'm the 2nd one. just wondering.

[Quizkid23]

I sometimes do the 1st one, sometimes the second. Usually I do the 1st one on slow songs because I want any exitement I can get out of playing them. On intermediate songs I do the second, and on uber-hard songs like revo, fotbb and waltz I do the 1st because I'm panicking to keep up.

[aperson]

It seems like sometimes my mind just blanks out on the uber hard songs and I do good all of a sudden. I managed to get a 170 combo on revolutionary by not paying attention to my keystrokes and just blanking out when I usually can't get above 50.

[Quizkid23]

WOW I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET A 30 COMBO ON REVO!!! HOW LONG DID YOU PLAY BEFORE YOU REGISTERED?

pfft the highest thing i can even finish is contradiction or whatever its called(Dance3 #1) and megaman
i can get most of virus but just one part screws me up

[hkhandrika]

You can't do contradiction eh? Try playing Stepmania and do HARD songs like Madblast, or Afronova, or Traces. Or you can try doing normal songs in Heavy mode. I did the latter, and I improved lots. I logged onto FFR after a while, and I could do contradiction, but I usually tend to slip my finger so I didn't make the high score. Hope this helps!

I becomes second nature after you play a while. I just sort of stare and space out when I play.

yea.. i guess its called blanking out... sometimes my vision gets blurry and i dont focus on arrows anymore just location of the blurs and thats all i need..

[Brainmaster07]

I can almost do mega man without looking at the screen at all (To the guitar solo part anyway). But yeah, I just kind of blank out other wise.

[Quizkid23]

Wow, you must play Megaman often huh brain...

[User6773]

I get in an "FFR/SM trance." (Depending on the bemanisim i'm plaiyng at the time.)
It's fun.

Tard.

Blanking out is losing your memory.

Blacking out is losing your consience.

ZONING out is going partly into your subsoncious, and losing most of your concious concentration.

[zeroigniz]

Or if you're in that state of being fully in your subconscious and doing incredible things you aren't usually capable of, then you're in the zone.

[quiddtich4]

actually what you call zoning out is called being in the "flow" i learned that in grade 8 and it was a new book so...

[Fruitcake]

I can't do well on such songs as HellBeat and Flight of the Bumblebee. i can't use four of my fingers at once and get combos properly .. i usually play with two but with songs like them it doesn't help.
How do you co-ordinate properly?
