Be a rebel. Use a speed mod AND screencut. 1.5x FTW

Re: Speed Mods vs. Skill Level

I wish there was a mod between 1.5 and 1.75. For now I can screencut on 1.5, but it doesn't give the same spread-out effect (which is the only reason I would go to 1.75). I'm finding it hard to read songs like Reality on 1.5, I can FC clean on 1.75 with a bunch of goods, but I can't even FC the jumps on 1.5.

My situation is a lot like yours, except I don't use a screencut. It's real hard for me to accurately hit arrows on faster songs to. I'll see how your suggestion works out though, Bluearrowll.

Btw, what does a screencut do for you anyways? I never really got the point of it.

Oh, and I noticed the forums gained a lot of grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation skills. I figured I'd stop being a rebel and join in. I'm a grammar nazi IRL anyways.

Re: Speed Mods vs. Skill Level

Well after playing on 1.75x for around three hours I've noticed I'm a lot better at FCing fast songs, but my accuracy is way down. Hopefully it'll all even out within a day or two so I'll be playing better than on 1.5x!

playing c750-c800 on sm screwed me up on FFR. 1.5x with more than half of the screen cut off isnt enough and 1.75 i cant get used to. =(

Re: Speed Mods vs. Skill Level

Stay at whatever speed you are comfortable with.
I've played 1.75x since speed mods came out (actually I played 1.5 for like half a day but whatever). There's no need to move it up if you can't read it.

If your speed mod ever starts to look slow, move it down to 1.25 for like an hour, then go back to what it was.

THOUGH, if you really do want to move up to 1.75, just like above, play 2.0 for a little bit, which will be hard to read, but over a little bit of time you'll get used to it slightly, then switch it to 1.75 and it'll look normal.

Re: Speed Mods vs. Skill Level

I think playing x1.75 is better, although atm I'm stuck at x1.5. I really want to move up, but my PA suffers a lot when I do. I guess I'll try practicing at x1.75 to see if I can get used to it. Let's practice together =D
