my fingers

[arsonistsgetallthegirls]

I'm not sure how to word this. Basically, the more i practice the worse i get. my finger speed has fallen dramatically and after taking a couple days off i find that I'm EVEN SLOWER than before... anyone else had this happen to them?


oh, and by the way, this isn't a n00b thread asking how to get faster.

Re: my fingers

If you find that your speed is not satisfactory, take a break from FFR and then come back later.

Re: my fingers

I have a sort of similar problem in that if I play a song too many times, my fingers can no longer do like ONE specific pattern found in the song. ie, i can no longer do the little 48-2 12th gallop at the beginning of Balloon Fever without getting two goods.

I can no longer combo the first 4 arrows of BB Revenge.

In Legend I cant do ONE random triplet in the beginning. Its very strange, sometimes it fixes itself, but as with balloon fever, I fear It will be there forever =(

The only thing I can suggest is taking a longer break from certain songs u have trouble with, or warmup with very hard songs before playing your normal ones.

Re: my fingers

If you play spread try switching your spread keys. I played DFHJ for the longest team and the keys started to get heavier thus reducing my speed and hitting them harder reduced my endurance. I now play XCBN and I've regained my speed. Hope that helps you out!

Also, get plenty of sleep. =)

Re: my fingers

Thanks guys,
i play one handed, so most of my trouble is coming from my middle finger having to move up and down so fast.

i usually pass FMO and VC difficulty songs with little problems.
if i can just get over my speed problem I'm sure i can FC them...
