Second day playing...

Re: Second day playing...

Programmer/developer? Me too . Yeah, I know, I'm 16, so no not professionally. But I still write programs here and there.

PA stands for Perfect Attack, and is your ratio of perfects to other notes. Aka hitting the notes more accurately. As for Perfects vs. boos, there isn't really a relationship. Boos generally show how much you mash, or occasionally how much you mess up. A boo, if you don't know, is when you hit a key you're not supposed to.

I understand your lament on lag, I remember a few times when FFR was under a DoS attack or a massive server load, and it was frustrating. And getting fast will come with practice, like anything else. For getting faster I would suggest using a speed mod one notch higher if you can get used to it, and practice songs that you can combo parts of, but struggle in other small parts. Struggling through songs will almost never help. Know what you can combo and what you can't, and practice the upper limits of that.

do you know what a typical ratio would be? Obviously the higher the better but ya would this be kinda what i should aim for? 10:1 (perfectsthers)

getting to 1000 means having i high total score so um work on that xD by playing indigo >.>

Re: Second day playing...

For a beginner, good PA is about 10:1. That isn't necessarily average, but it's considered good PA if you've just barely started. Once you get more advanced, and start FCing Very Difficult songs, your PA should be between 100:1 and 200:5 or so (I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong). PA on average really fluctuates between playing styles, indexers and spread players tend to get higher PA than one-handers.

Good job at improving PA. PA is (perhaps debatedly) the #1 obstacle to getting good. High PA tends to be respected more than comboing ability. Which sucks for me, because at my level I should have at least 100:1 PA, but I have more like 20:1 PA. *sigh* I really should have started practicing for PA earlier... but yeah, being able to combo will come about as fast as PA if you practice for PA.

Re: Second day playing...

Yeah, that song is annoying, don't know how many times I've failed to AAA it.

Hey, since we're the only ones posting in this thread, why don't we just PM? Unless someone else would like to post, I don't want to shut anybody out.

Re: Second day playing...

I concur. I hate goddamn skellybones, no matter how hard i try it says, "no AAA for you!"

I dont really think about whats good PA and what isn't. My plan is always have a certain difficulty of song that i work on combo, and a certain difficulty i work on PA and AAA. For me, im working on FC'ing lvl 9's (meaning i can do some and the ones i cant, im close), and working on AAA'ing 4's and 5's (once again meaning that i can do many of them, and the ones i can't, im bloody close).

Re: Second day playing...

It would really help if all the old Dance files were ON SYNC and didn't have backgrounds that messed with everything. Backgrounds like Breaking the Common, Pondering Stuff, and Domani are okay, but there is way too much blue in the background of Skelly Bones. I'm not even going to talk about Party 4 U. What makes Skelly Bones worse to AAA is not only does it not follow a regular beat that makes sense (not on sync anyways), but the white text screws me up every time. The good part is that all the notes up until white text are definitely regular quarter and 8th notes, no messed up beats with 3/16 pauses between arrows. I havent' really paid attention to what it turns into, but it makes no sense to me. Ah, well. I'll whore it some other time.

Re: Second day playing...

i think tomorrow when i wake up im just going to whore it untill i get it
