Anyone got any tips? Because I really hate being rubbish.

[Jdeadevil]

I'm not planning on being as speedy as this guy (http://youtube.com/watch?v=WOryz9PIKNA) but I'v got a few questions:

Is there any forms of practise I could do? Why is that person (above Url) so fast? It just seems crazy to be extremely fast at it, I was trying Burnout in 'Secret' I think, well it's the first one some genre, anyway, how do you get used to it? I'm just confused on how good people are? What's the secret here?

Practice.

Practice practice practice.

practice by playing FFR

Re: Anyone got any tips? Because I really hate being rubbish.

Hate to repeat what these guys are saying, but practice, yeah.

What level of play are you at right now? Give me some FFR examples of what you normally play.

Try analyzing random songs by using the edit mode in Stepmania, with the tick assist on. Once you can time the placement of 4th, 8th, 16th, etc. notes, it makes FFR much easier.

it takes awhile to get good but it just clicks when you get used to it

Well on Stepmania I can just about do tracks which are about level 5-6

Edit - Does anyone know how I can put my own songs on Stepmania?

Edit X2 - And back on FFR in Arcade I can't do the Megaman Dr. Wily's remix.

Also, take note of the color of the arrows. That sounds stupid and insulting, but I had no idea for the longest time that the colors depicted 4th/8th/16th/etc. notes.

It's all about learning how to read the arrows. Once you practice enough, you'll be able to understand wtf is going on.

For your difficulty level I'd recommend getting Song for the Nihonjin, Courage, and Night of Flight from the FFR store to practice on. Those songs made a world of difference for me when I was around your level. That and pretty much every song on the first page of secret.

Don't train on very difficult songs yet, you'll just be wasting time. Concentrate on songs you can "read" (as in, you're not panicking and smashing the keyboard all the time).

As everyone said, practice, and let your brain develop reflexes .

Over time you will be amazed at yourself as you begin to excel. I remember when I thought Fett's Vette was wicked hard, and I couldnt even dream of even completely Tricky songs without mashing.

Now, I look back at that and see how much Ive improved over time. Itll click like that other guy said. Just keep at it, trust me.

use speed mods to make the notes more readable.

Re: Anyone got any tips? Because I really hate being rubbish.

You're lucky, you get speedmods now. I remember before speedmods I was terrible. Then as soon as they came out I started improving like crazy, using 1.25X but I slowed down for a bit, then I changed to 1.5X and I'm again improving like crazy. I don't know if it's just me, but I don't improve little by little, I just improve like an insane amount. Like overnight I just suddenly learned to do jumpstream well. It scared the **** out of me XD But cause of that, I got like over 100 tier points in the last week and a bit, I could've gotten them faster, but there's a little thing called school =P And I still have more to get.

Practice and you will get better. Look at my games played, it's a lot, and I suck compared to the number of games I've played, but I think I'm finally getting up there I guess playing 3-finger takes longer to improve than playing spread.

You played it in school?

But maybe wait for these 2 from Secret page 1:
Abstrusity
For FFR

But yea, You need to practice hard and long.

I, currently am trying to FC Lovely Lovely Lovely, but the last jumps after the rolls(correct me if im wrong, where the combo is 694) keep messing me up.

EDIT: Visions(NRgyzd Mix)(secret page 1) is a good one to practice on when you can pass a song from Dance2 genre. It has all the fundementals of FFR(except jacks i think)
