Speed Help?

Re: Speed Help?

Really the only way to improve speed is to practise. Also play spread and play with the fasted mod you can. x2 Should do you good until you hit stuff like Death Piano.

DP is readable at 2x speed. Increasing your speed mods isn't going to magically make your fingers faster either. If you don't already, try playing with your wrists off the keyboard and use your forearms, wrists and fingers in conjunction.

Re: Speed Help?

I dislike the use of speed mods, and i will go back to normal speed every time. It's how I've been playing for the past four years, and it hasn't hurt me.

Well, if it hasn't hurt you, then why are you asking for help on how to get better? If you have been playing for four years and you have a slow speed, maybe it's time for a change?

I recommend Red Bull. But this actually is not a joke post; I'm not ****ing kidding. Take that **** and your fingers will fly.

It hasn't hurt you, but you're missing possible opportunities to gain a lot.

Seriously, my speed sucked up until I started playing songs in SM like reality/disregard for stream speed and jackdumps like duk's k8107 for jack speed.

Re: Speed Help?

If it's practicey songs you're after, try {Rose}, Air, Vertex BETA, Flight of the Bumblebee in FFR, and popular Rhapsody or DragonForce songs like Emerald Sword or Fury of the Storm in stepmania. Also in SM playing easy songs like Max 300 and Quasar then gradually speeding them up helps tons. Also you could try experimenting with different key setups. When I first started playing these rhythm games I was adamant about using the arrow keys and nothing else. I got to a certain speed and couldn't advance. Now I use (z), (x), (m), (,), and I'm progressing alot quicker

Typing Faster..
Playing FMO's

Re: Speed Help?

I have the SAME problem..... I heard frets on fire helps?!?!? O_O

No. Frets on fire is like guitar hero--not FFR. I think you're thinking of Stepmania.

Anyway, I think that the best way to make your fingers faster is actually not to play stream songs, but to play lots of jumpstream--like most songs in stepmania, because it increases the speed that you recognize and analyze patterns, and it increases finger agility.

You could very well do the same thing with stream songs, but it takes longer and it's more painful >.>
