Re: I don't get it.

FFR has 800+ songs, most which are in sync, I see no reason to play SM.

Re: I don't get it.

FFR is choppy because of flash. End of story.

Please stop posting in general. Most of your posts/threads are senseless trash.

Re: I don't get it.

IMO, I play Stepmania, because it' like a gallery and mastered stepfiles. Also, improving MA(/FA for ITG) increases more assuring PA on FFR. I think a marvelous is like 0.025s within the time you must hit the note exactly? Anyway... if I play some SM, I'll get better at FFR and vice versa, but if I completely disregard framers/boos then I'll start getting worse at FFR, and if I completely disregard mines/holds/marvelous then I'll get worse at SM.

Well SM, does have different features like 'stops' 'noticible BPM change' 'mines' Etc.. And StepMania you can download you're own favorite songs.

Oh yeah, and "Goods" which are like "Averages" on FFR will break your combo.

This thread is hilarious.

Re: I don't get it.

Well over half of said songs have an offset that is too early for me, and as such, is out of sync. Different keyboards, different response times. In fact, virtually the entire rock genre is off sync to me by well over half a second, sometimes more.

When files are accepted into FFR, they aren't set to a uniform sync, which is kind of sad, considering the experience JX/Rebirth have.

At least in SM I can press F11/F12 to set the offset accordingly so everything I play is synced.


@OP - The timing window is loose and retarded on FFR. Marv is something like 20-30ms, perf on FFR is like 5000 secs before it hits the target arrows, and it's biased towards earlier keystrokes.

Like everybody else says, if you play SM, you're going to hit FFR notes ON the target notes, which usually screws you up because of how it works.

As a closing note, don't masturbate when playing FFR, it'll tend to break your combo

Re: I don't get it.

Noteskin, note speed, timing windows, etc.

First of all, it's going to take your eyes a while to make FFR's arrows mean the same thing to your fingers as SM's arrows. Yeah, it's weird.
Second, the note scroll speed will not be exactly what it was on SM, and that can mess you up.
Lastly, the timing window on FFR does not center around the arrow, so if you hit it just one frame late then you will get a good. While trying to adjust from getting goods, you'll probably lose your combo.

It'll just take a week to get used to FFR. I've been playing SM for two months and now I can't play FFR at all, because I've forgotten how to combo and learned how to PA. Now, if I can just know how to do both at the same time, I can go somewhere... and stop dividing CIA Rave into five equal combos.

FFR and SM are both on-beat with a good computer.

Re: I don't get it.

technically yeah, but they are the same style of a game. If i get better at one, i feel i should be better at the other.

if i can fc arch0wl's gaussian blur, why can't i fc ffr's?
they are like the same file..
