*stabs self*

This is really annoying. I can FC half of One Minute Waltz(Probably the whole thing if I get a good run), but I have trouble AAAing simple crap like Tell and Contra Distinction.

My performance is hugely varied, it seems. I got 2x goods on Final Conflict, but I can't get 0 goods on something an eighth of the speed?

How do I train accuracy? This is really annoying, being able to FC some of the hardest songs in the game, but not being able to get a perfect with any real regularity.

You play on vista.

No, I play on XP. Six year old computer does not run Vista.

Then that's your problem.

New computer->Start AAAing.

ps. There's such a thing as good PA but there's no such thing as bad PA. "Bad PA" is just lag in one form or another.

Re: *stabs self*

Getting a new computer friday at the latest, but I try playing at college as well, and I still can't AAA anything worth crap.

Play SM on a really high judgement level.

Re: *stabs self*

Really don't worry about it, if your PA is embarrassingly bad compared to your reading and speed it means one of two things.

1. You aren't fully adjusted to your speed mod. (all the goods in your replays are early hits)
2. You're lagging. Be it keyboard, framerate, spikes, whatever. It's lag. Don't blame yourself for crap PA. You'll end up breaking a lot of things (like I have).

Re: *stabs self*

well, speed =/= PA
I remember FCing VC songs before I could AAA anything easy.

Re: *stabs self*

I can FC 290+ bpm streams in stepmania but can barely AAA level 4-5 songs on my vista comp.

Sure speed =/= PA, but beyond a certain threshold, it really just doesn't matter anymore.

I'm able to hit notes consistently at 50ms intervals but can't hit a 100ms framing window in FFR on notes 1000ms apart? Rofl. Yeah. Right.

ps I could clean FC fgos before I could AAA anything harder than free space.

Re: *stabs self*

I AAAd Tell before the Skill Token and now I can't

so don't feel too bad

Re: *stabs self*

I've used 2.0x speed mod ever since it came out like a year and a half ago. Are all of my hits late hits? They feel early to me.

And it's not just that I can't AAA anything... I can get close to AAAing really difficult stuff(For FFR, Final Conflict), but I have major trouble AAAing easy crap. Like, it took me 10ish tries to do Moonlight Sonata.

If it is just lag(as I hope), the lag should go away on my new computer.

Thanks for reassuring me that I don't just suck donkey balls!

Re: *stabs self*

Try playing spread with the 1.75 speed mod. It's the easiest.

Re: *stabs self*

Ummm... maybe because all you have to do is mash OMW to FC it?
