Simply not playing for awhile works best for me.

Re: Mental Block on FFR?

I have a large problem with mental blocks as well, especially on songs with unique patterns. What I usually do, if my mental block is extreme to the point where I can't "read" the song's arrows at all, is play other songs for a long time. Say, at least a week; maybe several months. I also use FFR "Mirror Mode," which helps on those unique songs like Balloon Fever.

I plan to try a new strategy as well: stay away from FFR entirely and just play SM for a few days.

worst mental block = Rottel-Da-Station (first 2 patterns)

YES YES and YES

The absolute truth right there.

That's not a mental block. That's something you can't do - Ps. I can't do it either. Mental block is something you were originally able to accomplish, yet for some reason, your mind won't register to that accomplishment anymore, or you are too stressed out or focused on one task.

Eg.

270 Combo - The Games We Played Part 1
290 Combo - Choprite
80 Combo - Caprice
30 Combo - Gaussian Blur

I don't call my Piano Etude Demonfire first 100 combo a Mental Block, because I was never originally able to do it.

Rottel's initial patterns are indeed pretty awful.

Well - I seem to partially over this thing, I was finally able to set a new high score for myself, and got back to FC'ing some 7-8 bar songs. But that song for the tourney jsut kills me everytime. I used to average between 10-20 Goods on it, now I'm lucky to get less than 40.

I see what you are saying... but I have been able to do it before. Same with Demonfire. I used to combo the first 100 WITH AV misses... now I can only do it about 1 in every 10 tries.

I have an absurd mental block on Vertex BETA. Just before it goes into the streams/trills, the jumps that go 86-82-42-82 at 220 combo. It pisses me off, I always anticipate messing up so I do.
