Sometimes, whenever I'm about to AAA or FC a song, and I see that I have a really high combo and the song is almost over, my fingers freeze up and I can't play, any thing I can try to stop it?

Re: Too nervous to play?
Play easier songs. There is not much of a good cure for that, except to think that you WON'T FC/AAA the song. Then usually, you do better.
Either that, or just play it again. I dunno.

Re: Too nervous to play?
Smoking is good for your lungs. It makes them grow big and strong.
When FCing a song:
Just stay calm... FCing a song isn't really a big deal, especially when your best is Straight to Video.
When AAAing a song:
You've never AAAd a song, so if and when you attempt to AAA a song, just stay focused on the song, and maintain a steady beat.Comment

Re: Too nervous to play?
This used to happen to me all the time (well, my fingers would not freeze, but spazz). You'll eventually overcome it. A few things to note:
- Don't look at your current score of the song at the bottom of the screen. The reassurance that you haven't tripped up a good/average/boo results in a loss of concentration. That's the time you really trip up.
- Don't think of the end of the song (especially a difficult one) as the ultimate climax that you must overcome - such expectations basically puts a mental barrier from aaaing the song. Enjoy the song (if possible) and try not to think "this is it!".
- Sometimes your fingers just won't cooperate. Take a break (from a few hours to a few days) and try the song another time. This often works.
- Try a new fingering method. It may be more or less advantageous, depending on the patterns of the arrows.
- If all else fails, force your fingers to hit the problematic arrows. Sometimes this works, but try one of the prior suggestions I've made first.
Good luck!

Re: Too nervous to play?
I usually just hit the keys harder. That does surprisingly work well. Or, I just try and calm myself down. *shrugs*
About to AAA? I think I've AAA'd maybe two songs, because my hands spazz just a little bit. But...It's all good. The break is a really good idea, actually.Comment

Re: Too nervous to play?
You actually have to do the exact opposite of what your brain is telling you. Thats what makes this hard to overcome for people, including myself.
Like a previous poster said, you have to honestly think that youre really not gonna do good on a song.
When I play random songs just for fun and move around in my chair to the beat, I get a BF on Endless Dream. When I try to focus and say "Okay, I can do this", I get nervous and self-owned.Comment
