    AAA help!

    Hey, I was just wondering if any of you have certain things you do or keep in mind to help you get more perfects? Maybe some tips or tricks to get better at getting more perfects? Thanks.

          lol 1.25

          Switch to x2.0! It's much better. At least to 1.75x, which is the common high. Also, turn the sound off for better PA.
          I fail to AAA.

              Speed mod or Screen shrinking will help.

              Oh, and practice.

                Keep your eyes focused on the top arrows and use your peripheral vision to see the other arrows that are coming up. If your eyes are focused at the top it should be much easier to have better PA. Also, use a speed mod. Preferably the fastest you can handle. I would advise gradually changing it, starting with 1.25, then 1.5, then 1.75 if you need it. One thing that's helping me right now is playing hard and easy and medium difficulty songs, and focusing purely on PA, not caring about combos. I've done this for about a week, now I'm getting better PA whether I focus purely on PA or not.

                I won't advise for or against screen-shrinking because I haven't tried it for more than a week.

                    take each arrow one at a time n.n

                    you know you can get a perfect on the first arrow... then think you can the second, and so on and so on...

                    starting on slower songs... then you get used to it... gradually go harder songs =)

                      I actually find that my PA is better being a music major. Make the beat a part of you, and hope to God that the song-maker made it right with the tempo. I've gotten a LOT more perfects that way. I'm still not AMAZINGOMG player yet, but I'm decent. Usually around 50 goods or so per song, and I tend to play VD or higher. *shrugs*

                      But...Yah...That's what I do.

                        So your P:G ratio is like, 20:1?

                        That's not bad.

                          Up until about October this year, I was an old fashioned 1x screencutter, but at some point I switched to 1.25x, and then 1.5x and I've pretty much seen my AAA count double. I'm AAAing Difficult songs now, and looking for my first Very Difficult here soon.

                          It's true - the mods help your PA and combo so much. Take note of my now 295 FC's.

                          If you're looking to AAA, you have to use a speed mod, but don't go higher than 1.75x. I recommend getting accustomed with 1.25x, then slowly working to 1.5x.

                              Auto Failing is good, Just don't set it to 1 good fail, You'll die in stress Lol

                              I usually set it to 1 miss-fail (if you're trying to AAA something, that means you can FC it any time)
                              so when i get a good (or over the amount I was aiming at), I just let myself fail.
