About a week ago, I couldn't pass The Games We Played 4 without mashing my way through the jumpstream near the start and racking up dozens of misses and obscene amounts of boos. Today, I got an easy full-combo on it, as well as shattering my records on several other songs I previously thought were extremely frustrating. This is how it always seems to happen for me: I go weeks and weeks without improving in the slightest, and then, overnight, I inexplicably leap miles ahead.

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
It is called a skill jump. As you embark on your FFR journey, you will encounter horrid songs and challenges. But these difficulties will only make you stronger. You will improve yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally as you improve and get better at the game we call
FFR!

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
or you get used to reading the notes and since the notes in the song aren't extremely fast, you can also hit them. I haven't had a skill jump in months... it sucks gimme yours! now for you to AAA TGWP part 4!!! go go go

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
I notice times when I can suddenly read the notes far better than before. It's happened a few times. I've never been one to gradually increase in much of anything.

Havn't had a skill jump in forever. Better come soon or there will be hell to pay!Removed a .gif image so your total signature size isn't well over 1MB. Keep this in mind for the future.

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
I'm pretty sure most everybody improves in this way. The only thing is, the skill jumps get smaller and smaller
.
Personally, I just had a really big one quite recently. Gained like 70 Tier Points in 2 days.
Enjoy the big skill jumps while they last.
I'm retired

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
I remember I got a stamina spurt once, so it's happened to me.
Or perhaps we're just viewing a continuous improvement in a discrete, unyielding manner so it appears to take on the form of spurts :conspiracy:Patashu makes Chiptunes in Famitracker:

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
Recently, I improved in two massive spurts over a period of a few days. While my reading skills still remain below my skill, my maximum stream speed shot up from ~240 bpm to over 260. My accuracy improved slightly, as did my overall ability to play the game. First improvement spurt in months, but it was definitely worth the wait.
Just keep playing - the only way to continue get them is if you continue to practice at FFR and SM. Feels good when you do though, isn't it?

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
i've gotten a skill boost in my ability to read and correctly hit faster patterns like reality.
And playing dragonforce songs in SM has given me better stamina. I guess it just depends on how you play but as long as you continue playing, you will see yourself getting skill jumps every once in a while

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
I've had a few skill jumps. You just got to keep playing and whoring songs, taking a break from it makes you lose skill.Originally posted by who_cares973Originally posted by xferrarixComment

Re: Does anyone else improve in spurts?
Odd, I was just going to say that taking a break is one of the key things to do if you want to have a skill boost. Every time I take a break from SM and come back, I'm better than I was before. I'm rusty the first few games, but afterward, its as if my brain just needed time to settle with all the playing I had done before the break.Comment
