    Not getting better :/

    So.

    You have been a member for 0.89 years.
    2347 total games played by you since 2005-04-19.
    Your grand total score: 201 121 695
    Overall FFR rank: 12087

    I've been playing forever, and I can tell the huge change since I started, but for a good while now I haven't been getting better (over 800 songs played is my guess). I play right handed, 3 fingered, and I've been blaming my fingers for being too stubborn to change. I know 4 finger/2 hand 4 finger is smarter, I just can't bring myself to change. Plus, I like the satisfaction in being able to say I play 3 fingered.

    Is there really anything anyone can suggest other than switching finger setups?

    PS. I played ASKL on FFR R2 and didn't find it TOO bad.

      Once I was able to pass every song with one hand, I decided to turn 2 hands, and its like I started the game for the first time again. So just change, pass every song from easyest to hardest, then work on combo and PA.

      Plus it also helps to set your standards higher, if you don't set goals you'll never get better.

          well everyone says that 3-fingered isn't that great cause its not fast enough so maybe you've hit your limit? im one hand 3 finger too but i do a buncha other stuff like pen spinning and card throwing so my fingers don't limit me so i wouldn't know if thats whats your problem. also, try screen shrinking, it helps a LOT.

              I agree with Argo .... Go with the switch >.> I tried 4 finger on the arrow keys first
              but it soon proved to cause cramps so then I switched to <V86.
              You could always go play Stepmania.
              I find FFR easier with a transition from SM since SM's sensitivity is lower and
              you learn to hit arrows directly on.

                  Same here. I started off as one handed, then realized that I couldnt' get any better, and switched. It only took me about a week to adapt
                  FFR.

                          i switched and it took me a week or so to adjust, then it just clicked in.

                              take the switch to another style advice and also screen shrink.
                              something else that helps me somehow is hitting the keys harder.

                                  Thanks guys, I'm playing ZX./ spread now and finding the potential much greater.

                                  Also I've been screen shrinking for a while now, but it won't let me play DOWN ><

                                                      Just learn spread, it saved my FFR life!

                                                      But really, I had pretty much capped on my abilities with 3 fingers, so I started spread. About 3-4 days later I was already better with spread than one-handed. It's worth it, no matter how goofy it feels.
                                                      Hey, I'm a pro-amateur smash player.
