FFR Definitely, excluding jacks of course.

SM is way easier. How come I can AAA MacGravel's Uber Rave in SM on C500 yet I can't even get close to that on aperson's Uber Rave on 1.75x speed in FFR? I could go on and on with examples.

My PA in SM is ten times better, jacks are obviously easier, and in FFR I tend to miss for no reason whatsoever. I mean, seriously, I miss for no reason whatsoever where I should not. It's not that I just suck.

StepMania. I can't really tell what's happening when everything is nearly still. Animation will tell me the present. Also, you can map the keys in StepMania. I use A, S, L, and semicolon. I can't use the hotkey modifier for better comfort either, I have a Macintosh.

FFR forces you to play with the arrows or 8462 (unless you use AutoHotkey or a similar program) whereas SM lets you pick.

FFR is easier to AAA (if the song syncs right at load) but SM doesn't lag so you don't miss arrows anyway and you can AAA if you are good enough...Overall, I would say FFR.

FFR is easier to play but harder to master.
Theres like 213497624597 billion people who are supposedly soooooo awesome at SM, but then they turn to FFR and suck, so obviously it takes a bit more skill to be able to do well in FFR.

I agree with DS becasue ill see insaine vids of SM all the time, but then when the same people switch to ffr, they're nothing special.

Re: Which is easier? FFR or SM.

I can do some hard songs on SM playing spread on Justice, then I come on FFR and I can't combo anything slightly difficult. I'm hoping it's just because I use C400 on SM and it's C300 here.

Re: Which is easier? FFR or SM.

FFR is easier, it only seems harder to some because it impedes your reading ability and a limitation of flash engine on jacks.

Re: Which is easier? FFR or SM.

I don't care which one is easier (but I lean to FFR), I think FFR is more fun and that's what matters to me!

Re: Which is easier? FFR or SM.

i think that sm is ALOT easier because speedmods, song slowdown / speed up can change dificutly so it has a larger "perfect" timing window and... you can put it full screen witch i like >.<

Perfect/marvelous attack: Stepmania

I can't AAA anything (not including Excite Bike) on FFR, but I can AAA plenty of files on Stepmania

Song Difficulty: FFR

Not much to say.

Re: Which is easier? FFR or SM.

Stepmania is both easier and more difficult than FFR.

Easier due to Cmods and everything else. The same song on FFR and Stepmania can be easier on SM as you can set the speed you want exactly and due to it being offline it should be more on-sync and generally easier to score on. That and there are no boos.

Harder due to the variety of songs. You can get songs on Stepmania that wouldn't even function on FFR or would be impossible to play. Thus, if you want it to be, then Stepmania can be harder.
