Try Breaking the Common or Secret Zombie Room.

Re: Were 2 next?

boss machine is harder than those, IMO... *shrugs*

check out the R1 Actual Difficulties thread... it'll give you some good examples. Like Stalled Out or Green Twilight...

or much harder stuff like CIA Rave.


to be honest, I find it pretty hard to give newer players advice anymore, as I haven't been at your skill levels in so long. meh.

Re: Were 2 next?

As more of a middle level player, here are my thoughts. Personally, I don't worry that much about getting perfect combos. I typically work for full combos, then getting down to a small number of goods. I don't really feel like spending tons of time shooting for 100% accuracy when I can be working on harder/faster songs and improving (or at least trying to) there.

The actual difficulties thread Tasselfoot mentioned is a great place to find out where the harder songs really are. Boss Machine, Secret Zombie Room, and Breaking the Common are all at level 2.5; Secret Zombie Room is on the lower end, while Boss Machine and Breaking the Common are on the higher end. Breaking the Common used to be a kind of marker of ability at the lower levels, or at least that's what I heard around 1.5 years ago when I started, so that might be worth working on. I found that the pattern wasn't so difficult with that, but keeping it up long enough was -- I tended to get tired and slip up. I did recently FC it though. If you want to try harder level songs, just check out the thread, see what's where, and pick what sounds good to you. Good luck!

Re: Were 2 next?

What dronak said. Go for FC's and then move to harder songs. For FFR you'll want to focus more on getting combos over anything else. Perfects and such are just nice to have XD.

Remember you can pretty much mess up a song horribly PA wise, but if your combo is higher than normal, your score will be much much higher than if you got a lot of perfs and a lower combo.

Re: Were 2 next?

Just full combo the songs on this list in order =P So, your next song is... One Last Battle and so on and so on. Once you feel that you're good enough, try going for some AAA's.

P.S. Where is spelt wrong.

Re: Were 2 next?

That's exaclty what i've done Pichu.

Although I'm stuck on "Funk In G." Giving up on that stupid ass song i hate it. I'm a few songs ahead of that. Kinda funny like I fc'd SZR and Alpha Helix. But still having trouble with:

megaman 2 #1, snowman, 136.6, shag.

[Pichu_XP]

Re: Were 2 next?

The songs you have trouble with have unsynced arrows I think. I remember Megaman and 136.6 was off sync. Not sure Snowman and Shag though.

Also, You don't have to fc every single one of them. I know I didn't do any hip hop or funk songs.

[Dronak]

Re: Were 2 next?

That's similar to me, klagett. Funk In G is the only song at level 2 or lower that I haven't been able to FC. I've FC'ed about 2/3 of level 2.5. The ones giving me trouble there are Massive, She Bangs, 8-Bit Day Dreamer, Burnout, The Essential, and Slap Guitar 2. Oh, I haven't bought any songs yet, so I haven't tried Dr. Wily Theme V2 yet.

iggymatrix is right about the scoring. Combinations have the biggest effect on total score, so the higher you can get that, the better. So like Pichu_XP said, once you get the FCs, you can work on getting the PCs if you want, but you don't necessarily have to FC every single song. And I think that some songs do have off-sync arrows that can mess things up. I try to adjust, but it's hard, and easier in some songs than others.

Re: Were 2 next?

But you know what's funny? I have never gotten one single AAA/PC on FFR. o.O

[IAAW]

Re: Were 2 next?

I only got one AAA, and that's on Falling Into You XD

[klagett]

Re: Were 2 next?

I could careless about aaa's at this point. Although I won't lie I still give mario probably 5 tries a day to try and get that first one haha. :P


Freakin black flag.

Re: Were 2 next?

Personally, I would go for the AAA. I always played the hardest song I possibly could whenever I was first learning, and I can get decent combo's now, but my PA is horrible. It'd probably take longer if you always AAA'd songs on a level before progressing to the next, but I think it would make you a better player in the end.
