Is it just me?

[carlin]

Is it just me or are other people having this problem? I always have trouble with Max Forever in secret. It's the trills that always mess me up, I'll be able to hit the arrows fine but then half way through the trill I'll slope from perfect all the way down to miss. It's really annoying and happens every time I play the song. What's really weird is that it doesn't happen on any other song...

So, any way to help me? Anyone having the same problem? Discuss.

Trust me it can happen in other songs.

Those trills are the reason I havent FC'd it. 2 options:

Mash them and not improve but get the FC.
Dont mash and practise hitting them properly and FC in a week or two after practice with a better score and come away more skilled.

I had the same problem before. Just practice and you'll be able to do the trills.

Play fast songs with trills like BB Revenge.. that's what got me used to trills..

Or try playing 4,2,6,8 on the numpad. I just started and it works great!

k first. What?! you can use the numpad? i had no idea!
second. im a one hand player so that would probably make my score worse...

Re: Is it just me?

i would say NOT to use the numpad if you're onehanded..... the numpad will spread your hand apart much more, making it extremely difficult to hit the arrows faster with 1 hand.

now if you played with 2 hands... then using the numpad to help with the congestion around the arrow keys, that is understandable.

but, basically... it just sounds like you can't trill fast enough for that long of a period of time. yet. it takes practice. you'll get there with time. you can practice faster trill songs... you can also practice trilling on a table with your fingers. you can also even lift light weights with your fingers to build strength.

hope that helps. in the end, practice is the main way to get better.

Do any FFR players do this? What weights and how often?

10 pounds a finger 50 times an hour.

kidding! I don't lift weights, but i do trill on tables and my legs sometimes to get my fingers to start moving faster.

Yeah while listening to the radio or w/ever. But weights lol. Little dungbells for your fingers.

Maybe some sort of complex pulley system....

Re: Is it just me?

Yeah, I can't get through the extended up+right trills.. I can do short ones, but my stamina decreases in my ring finger..

Same goes for down+right.. But I can get pretty far into the song without missing an arrow.

Re: Is it just me?

I can do most trills for a while, but on K8107 my fingers just get annoyed and i start hitting them as doubles. I learned how to trill well on Max Forever by the way. Now I can close my eyes essentially through most of the end of it and just open them when it changes.

When you're watching TV or something, just practice trilling on your knee, and make sure it's perfectly in time. Listen to it.

Re: Is it just me?

If you play 2 handed on the numpad/arrow keys (none of this reassigning to letters for spread bull), you can quickly alternate your fingers around for trills. Pretty good for songs like BB Rev and FotBB where trills focus on one hand and murder your fingers (unless you're like Nima or Shash where your fingers are impervious to strain).

Just takes practice.
