OMG Screen Shrinking

[Billydude]

I admit I am a masher. I want to get better at FFR though, so I tried Screen Shrinking. First I tried like Breaking the Common or something but I sucked at it. Then I tried CIA Rave, wow. It made a HUGE difference. I usually just mash accuratly on that song but screen shrinking helped me to actually do it correctly horribly. lol. I got like a 144 combo and was really excited. So if you'r a regular who wants to become a vet, try screen shrinking. I'm not saying I am a vet but this will definetly help me become one =D.

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

I do incredibly better while shrinking, though some songs are too fast for me with it still that it makes it harder, and others I don't even bother with because they're so easy.

To those in denial, don't expect better results the first time you play a difficult song while shrinking. It's like anything else, it requires adustment, but shows much improved results over time.

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

I don't really know. It mostly just helps me with fast staircases.

Don't have to see so many arrows letting me know which to hit first.

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

The player has to read less arrows, therefore letting them concentrate more on the notes he/she has to hit.

Also, it reduces lag slightly.

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

I don't know...I agree with TR Tyler. I tried screen shrinking and I sucked. Probably because I'm not used to it. I can FC CIA Rave just fine without it. By the way, I'm an indexer so that makes it easy for me to FC it. On the other hand, songs with intense jumpstream are very difficult for me.

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

You need to play more than a few games to the benefits. Just commit to screen shrinking for like a couple weeks or so, and you WILL see improvement. However, I recommend that one should have a fair command of the game without screen shrinking first, fcing easy songs etc.

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

Screen Shrinking FTW!
I do believe that it dose help alot, Before I used screen shrink I could never pull a FC in CIA Rave.

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

Back when I started shrinking it was like night and day.

It was the difference between mashing CIA and almost getting an FC

QFT

The first time I screenshrank I got worse and so I quit at it. After a couple of weeks of no improvement I decided to try it again. Now look at me ;p

Re: OMG Screen Shrinking

i have tried screenshrinking multiple times but have never gotten used to it. it seems like i just can't do better, i like seeing all the arrows before they reach the top. i feel that i do fine without it, but there are so many people who stand so firmly beside it...i should convert sometime

i used to feel the same way about spread, but then i got used to it and it has helped my PA tremendously. so maybe i'll start forcing myself to screenshrink a little bit
