Re: Question for the pros

I'm no pro, but I started three years ago, didn't make an account until half a year later.

Just practice practice practice. That's about it. Playing some songs over and over again helps.

Re: Question for the pros

Thanks for all the output guys. It was fantastic to read what everyone had to say. Yes I still do it one handed, I suppose a spread would make it easier. I've tried it, but with my lack of coordination, I get lazy and go back to 1 handed. I should really do it all over again with a spread i suppose.

Also is screencutting what I assume it is? I'm assuming its just covering part of the screen either by making the arrows hidden or by physically putting a piece of paper or some other object to cover half the screen, making only a portion visible and make it easier to view arrows. Please do correct me if im wrong. Thanks again and happy arrowing.

Re: Question for the pros

OK well I started like 3 years ago and I played one-handed. I could AAA some easy songs but I felt like that was it and I wasn't improving to more difficult songs. So I put everything aside and started spread.

Basically, 2 weeks later I was FC'ing CIA Rave which I couldn't even pass before without mashing.

Re: Question for the pros

Started in October of '04, started out one handed just like you, and was horrible at ffr, most I could do is fc Secret Zombie Room and such. Played 1 handed for about 6-8 months, then multiplayer came out and realized that ZOMG PEOPLE PLAY TWO HANDED!!!

So I gave it a shot, and switched from 1 handed, to two handed 3 finger. Thats when I started getting alot better alot faster, within 2 or 3 months I could fc Cia Rave and such, but after playing that way for about 8 months also, I hit a wall, and wasn't improving very fast at all. That's when I switched to spread...as much as I sucked at it, I kept trying, and after about 3 weeks...I had completely surpassed my 3 finger skill level, and never looked back.

So after playing spread for 8 months or so, I reached a solid tier 2 rank, and then autofail came out >.> and I'm not sure what happened, but it exploded my skill level 10 fold. So at almost a year of playing spread, I'm one of the top 3 FFR players around, and continue to get better and better every day.

Re: Question for the pros

Im not sure if im considered a pro but i started around september 2006 and I first played FFR, i was able to FC songs like one last battle, breaking the common and such.

I was playing spread with 3 fingers for about 4 months then i meet a guy named Jerred a.k.a TK_unreal in MP and started to get pwned by him. Then he asked me to change into 4 finger spread. So i did, and guess what?

My skills got up 10X better and i was able to FC songs like moonbeam and such.

After a few months of playing, new members come and more people were getting better. So Chris a.k.a Rebirth0 told me to start playing SM for a while to improve my PA. (Perfect accurately)

After a few months doing that, i came back to FFR and started AAAing ez stuff like Trip to the moon, breaking the common, come with me and such..

Then after a while, SM didnt help as much anyone and so i start practicing on FFR only instead of SM.

After a month of doing that, My FFR skills kept improving and finally im able to AAA harder songs like Straight to video and From Mount Chorus.

Ever since that auto-fail thing came out, i dont know but my skills went very high and now im one of the best desent female players in FFR. Although im not the best but someday, ill get there....
