bye bye hard work

[Teddy_scfa]

Hey everyone :]

I don't post hardly ever, but i was wondering if anyone had suggestions to get better at this game and practice some without actually having a computer...

I am leaving this Sunday for 12 months and don't want to lose all of my hard work trying to get better.

Re: bye bye hard work

I quit FFR for a year. I am only slightly worse then I was before. Don't worry, FFR skill is permanent!!

If you really want to, tap on desks/your leg, etc to your favourite songs. Or play other rhythm games via console.

It's not that. Skill degrades over time, and it depens how much for each person, and how long.

For me...I actually improve(X-tremely gradually) when I stop. I improve no matter what.

You? Maybe not.

Go for skill tokens.

And if you're good enough, go for tier points.

Re: bye bye hard work

Oddly enough I left for a year and I was better at FFR.
If you really want to you can try learning the piano.
I hear piano fingers are quite helpful =)

Re: bye bye hard work

Every time I quit playing FFR for a week or two, I end up coming back a little better.
If you're near a console then play DDR or Guitar Hero, I play those game when I'm not playing FFR

Re: bye bye hard work

you don't play for a while. Then when you get back, you'll be surprised that you are so much better...

Re: bye bye hard work

We've already had enough people say "When you come back you'll be better"

More people posting "When you come back you'll be better" are postwhoring/spamming.

Re: bye bye hard work

Personally, when I stopped for about a month my skill greatly decreased. You can try tapping your fingers on desks and stuff to music or playing other rhythm games like beatmania. Not using a computer for a year will definitely not be good for your skills though. =/

when you come back, you'll be better.

Official warning to Tass for postwhoring, I suppose.

Re: bye bye hard work

Sure, breaks of 1 or 2 weeks/months are good, but an entire year...I don't know.

Why are you leaving, anyway? Got called up to Iraq or something?

Re: bye bye hard work

lol Tass

But i agree with Silver Brian. Usually when i take a break from FFR for a few days, im constantly tapping my fingers on any hard surface and i find that helps when i start playing again. You could always listen to your favorite music and do finger taps to the beats. Thats pretty fun

Re: bye bye hard work

When I was in the Czech-republich for a week, I was away from a PC the whole week. And I was tapping around hard surfaces automatically...
And when I then returned to FFR, I found, that the arrows were too slow, even when they were at the same speed I have always played on...
Conclusion: Something is changing when you're away for a while, but I think you will keep your skills to a degree.
