Re: Practicing PA.

I seem to do worse when I play on 1.75X. I personally play on 1.5X, and it seems to be going good. I'll give it a try, and see what I think.

Do you know any good FFR/SM songs that would help me get better at PA/MAing songs?

Sorry for taking such a long time to reply to this. There are many different SM songs to help out your PA, but because FFR timing window is so much different compared to SM you may just want to stick to FFR. Most songs in FFR that you would need to work on for AAA's have different focus areas. There's songs like Gradeus that work on runs and such. There's songs like Club and AIM Anthem that work on some very rapid key pressing skills. There's songs like Jelly Role Blues with some pretty fast running men (left, right, left, right; or any two button combination that's played over and over). Then there's those songs that you can even read in terms of what arrows you need to play and when (mainly those guru songs but theres a couple of masters songs with a couple parts like that), and a good song to practice for this is that new song in Funk called The Adventures of Lolo. Again, I am no expert at AAA's so I could be totally wrong by all this.

What do girls do then? I'm sure it doesn't quite have the same effect. =/

For me, my perfect attack increased by just relaxing and falling with the beat. (At least for DDR and ITG...)

Re: Practicing PA.

The thing that I don't get is, there must be like... a hundred stepfiles for those songs. Where did you get those particular ones?

Oh yeah, what's Judge 7?

Emerald Sword and Ageha are both in the Keyboard Megapack. Most stuff in there should be good to practice MA. Judge 7 is how strict the timing windows are. The better your MA gets on Judge 7, the more godly you get at Judge 4 (Judge 4 is the default Stepmania judge setting).

Re: Practicing PA.

Judge changes the framewidth of each accuracy window. The higher the judge, the narrower. Basically, it means that you have to be even more accurate. Judge Justice is to the point where you think you're hitting it just fine, but you get a BOO. =)

Uhhh, I have a hard time believing justice is harder than J7 just for the fact that my MA is better than J4 on justice, and I can't pass FOTS on J7

Re: Practicing PA.

I've been recently switching from sm to ffr repeatedly with the same speeds for each (1.75 for ffr and c625 for stepmania) and it has been improving my pa at a ridiculous rate.

Re: Practicing PA.

I know Im awfull new around here, havent played anywhere near as many games as you guys, but well, I didnt see it mentioned and I like to share so . .

What I did was I found my comfort zone, in terms of mods and speeds. I play at 1.75x speed and reverse mod on. This is what I feel good at, any speed over this and or turning the directional to go up not down, throw me off and make it very hard for me to play . . . . .

so thats just what I do.

Yup. When Im having aittle more trouble with a song within my comfort zone, I simply go beyond that and try to play it.

Example : If you play with 1.75 speed and normal mod, try thorwing it into 2x speed at first, maybe even go back a few lvls and try playing one in reverse mod. Play the same song your already having problems on, but make iT HARDER. Do this 2 or 3 times and then go back to your normal settings and try it, and by gosh if it doesnt feel like the song became a whole lot easier.

I may just be blowing smoke, Im sorry if I am, but this has worked for me.

Hope this helps.
