Help meeee

[~One~]

I can play ffr with good skill IMO. I can FC some FMO songs and stuff.
But what I cant seem to do is get AAAs on ANYTHING! Can anyone suggest something to help me get my PA better?

Re: Help meeee

Start with very slow songs. Page 1 on dance is a good start. Just keep playing the song over and over. Switch your style of play. Maybe you play index, and spread is better for you. If you do not know what I mean, there are tons of threads in general talk about different styles.

Why does everyone say to play SM?

Re: Help meeee

SM Judge 4 has a much stricter accuracy judgement than FFR (which I think was SM Judge 2 ish...). Therefore, if you adhere to the MA (Marvelous Attack) difficulty of SM, FFR becomes much easier.

In my case, the problem is adhering to SM Judge 4. I can't AAAA anything.

If you're a natural at SM, then try SM Judge 7. MA on Judge7 is equivalent to RA (Ridiculous Attack), which will get you a AAAAA.

Re: Help meeee

There is also a sticky about the various options that can be changed so that you can enhance your playstyle. The only downside is, that you can't bring SM mods to FFR (for instance, speedmods. SM allows any speedmods, but FFR will only allow C600 or C900 (which are the minimum/maximum of standard SM speed)

If you want to use SM solely for the purpose of getting better at FFR, I advise you stick with the same window size as FFR (with screencuts if you use them) and whatever speedmods you're used to. (FFR 1x=SM C300) Also, turn off holds aka freezes. However, I think working towards getting better at SM with SM-able options is not a bad idea either.

Re: Help meeee

SM doesn't work for me, it makes FFR look slow and glitchy. If you wanna AAA, just learn how to read patterns really well which involves playing noob songs to become familiar with them.

Midday - Thank you

Rushy - They are sooo slow. D1 songs irritate me. They feel off-sync.

Re: Help meeee

Then play Arcade songs.. You have about 50 AAA's btw... which hardly classifies as:

Re: Help meeee

Popular song packs can be found in jimerax's convenient thread. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...73&postcount=1

You can also make your own patterns to practice, though I've never done that before.

EDIT: Oh, this thread was a sticky too... omgitznpv gave me a direct link so I didn't notice =P

EDIT2: I'm currently working on AAAing all the songs in the Red Fraction Pack. XD Care to join?

Re: Help meeee

I have AAAs. Me saying I can AAA anything was an exaggeration. I think I have like 50. Plus, Excite Bike isn't playworthy.

Re: Help meeee

FFR's perfect window is ~Judge 3, FYI.
