Good PA?

[rauchster]

I used to be pretty crappy at my PA, and have been slowly getting better over time.
I was just curious how do you FFR Experts think I stack up?
This was playing 50 songs picked using the Random button from Difficulty 8-9.


As side notes:
One song started faster than I thought it would and I didn't hit any notes (+12 misses)

Best song in the bunch PA Wise: Driveway (Heavy): 1062-5-0-0-2
Worst song PA Wise: {Rose}: Don't remember exactly but at least 80+Good, 5+Avg, 5+Miss, 15+Boo That song is really tough for a 9.

So how do you guys think I rate? Be honest, I'm not expecting to be anywhere near the best (Considering my total of 5 AAA's), so you won't hurt my feelings by telling me the truth.

Stat Breakdown:
97.38% Perfects of Notes Hit
97.24% Perfects of Notes Seen
39.5-1 Perfect-Good
35.26-1 Perfects-All Others

Boo count is questionable.

Image shack kinda sucks. No worry.

50 games and 1000 goods gives you a 200 good average.

Of course inconsistent playing (playing high levels and low levels) will give you a skewed version of your PA.

Go play Maple Leaf Rag in classic and Victims and Martyrs in Rock and take screen shots of both scores. Those are very intermediate songs that will give us a good base to work around on whether your PA is good or not.

As requested.
No do-overs or mulligans.

Re: Good PA?

You're decent. Keep working at it and you'll eventually AAA the hardest songs in the game.

Here's a little secret.

Try playing songs you KNOW you have an EXTREMELY hard time PA'ing, or even passing. If you die, no big deal - just don't mash. Mashing doesn't help you in the least bit. Try to hit the arrows to your best ability. If you go and play, lets say, Death Piano, and find you keep dying right in the beginning, then you can tell you need some work. If you keep at it and play it a bunch of times - without mashing of course - then you will eventually find that you can get farther and farther into the song, until eventually you pass it and you jump for joy and throw a party.

Same thing for working for an AAA. Just keep working at it.

Like everyone says, practice makes perfect, but I go by a different standard - perfect practice makes perfect.

Re: Good PA?

Thanks for the hint. I try not to mash, but I also don't play pretty much any FGO songs atm, just because I don't feel I actually improve by playing them, since I can't really see what I'm hitting. I'll play FMO's like Hajnal and Blooddrunk often, but mostly stick to 7-8's for perfect practice (Trying to get SDG) and 9-10's for reading practice (Speed and rhythm reading)

AAA's are a pain in the ass because I go back to the easier song (1-6) that I feel I could probably get an AAA on, and I get bored playing them, especially the 1-2's. So, when I got bored, I get distracted, and when I get distracted, I make mistakes.
Is there any way to keep these challenging for my mind, instead of being on auto-pilot?

very nice statistics analysis, that is high level high school math thinking you got there.

Am I the only one who thinks that math doesn't work out?

No, you're not the only one. :O Noticed it from the start, 200 goods per song is a heck of a lot of goods. 20 goods is far better.

Keep practicing with 8-9s and maybe even easy 10s.

Go take a look at this thread.

Play the songs based on their number difficulty. Certain Challenging or Very Challenging songs you may find easier or harder. This is a good way to find out which ones are a bit easier.

Re: Good PA?

That good count can easily get gotten if a good amount of those games were DP or Here We Go etc. But for 8-9 difficulty its kind of heavy.
