Simfiles or Normal FFR?

Re: Simfiles or Normal FFR?

Anything that has speed mods, marvs, and accurate timing is good for practice, but playing other things like FFR will help to, I just don't think it helps as much.

Really though, I think you should just have fun, and not try to get better all the time.

Also, resonance is very off beat, so you really should download Stepmania.

However, in answer to you're question, FFR you can use to work on speed, for it is very button mash friendly, and you can use Simfiles for accuracy. So, just use a combination of both.

Also make sure you get in-sync and good quality simfiles or it'll mess up your timing.

Re: Simfiles or Normal FFR?

I cant do simfiles because I cant tell where to screencut to with the different scroll rates.

Then play simfiles in StepMania where you can set it to any scroll rate you want.

Aye, Resonance is to preview the simfile whereas Stepmania is specifically play the file. SM has been around for much longer than Resonance as well; therefore less bugs.

Re: Simfiles or Normal FFR?

Ahh, I see. So basically if I want to play the simfile the way it was meant to be played, I should use SM? I suck even more at SM, you have to be right on with the arrows. Oh well, I will just practice more.

Re: Simfiles or Normal FFR?

I you think it's hard to play stepmania because you have to wait till the arrow is RIGHT over the "ghost arrow" then set the speed of the arrows faster. I suggest x2 or x3.

Re: Simfiles or Normal FFR?

If you play too much Resonance then your timing will be off on DDR/ITG/SM becuz the timing window is way bigger then them. I have set my SM timing window to 7 in order to get better. At first it sucked cuz it said "good" or "great" but I was just as good as before, just the window was smaller. However when you play on a harder setting then you get better over time just by playing. Other then that, just have fun, take Doug's advice and enjoy the game.

Re: Simfiles or Normal FFR?

MixMasterLar and Sneakyfeet, thank you for the great tips. Using them I find that I do much better, and I changed the timing window to 6. I have also started to use the spread technique.
