Is it just me that has these days?

Re: Is it just me that has these days?

I only play worse when I force myself to constantly play on and on and on. If I play for 30 minutes to an hour at a time I just get better and better until I get fed up. Once I'm fed up of playing, I'll resume the next day just as good if not better. When I was less experienced with playing all types of files and patterns I had what you did, I'd go up and down on files I couldn't do and some I was actually good at. The thing is you're not particularly bad at any one file, just not constant in your reading ability and maybe your stamina is a bit slower than you think it is.

Re: Is it just me that has these days?

I play best when tired. My skills fluctuate a lot. From like 10 goods on a VD to 50 goods on the same song a day later.

This happens a lot to me, usually whenever I just wake up or at 3AM when I need some sleep :/

It's because every song in FFR has offsync steps

This is a huge problem for the harder songs since you're constantly moving and hitting the arrows on beat will give you early goods.

If you've tried the song 300, you will see what I mean. That song gives you early averages or even misses if you try going with the music.

so that's why that song and it's steps make no sense to me...

Re: Is it just me that has these days?

That's got to do with your determination, on those days I see my fingers refuse to go faster than a walking speed.

Re: Is it just me that has these days?

Well I am still very new at this, and I haven't noticed anything that terrible. What happens though is that sometimes my brain will just "shut down" mid song and I'll kind of freeze up, or just become suddenly fatigued and just not be able to read the arrows anymore. That's about the time when I quit.

It hasn't happened much since switching over to a new style, but yeah. Heh.

Re: Is it just me that has these days?

Most days I notice this happens, I find its my fingers that are the trouble, not the game or even my reading abilities. Stupid hands just work better some days then others.

Then there are those days when you just go to play a song and the stream is just like " OMG WTF LOL " to you and you get lost. THAT sucks, and thats when I shut the game down.

Either way. yes I would say most regs experience this to some degree. Pro's get mad when they cant AAA a VC or FMO, experts when they cant FC, etc. Only thing to do is step away and try again later.

Peace,

Re: Is it just me that has these days?

This happens to me all the time. I think it may be stress level in my case though. The days I play the best I'm very relaxed and can just kinda zone into the song. Other days like today where I'm trying to get myself out of the yellow in the official tourney I suck lol

Lmao what.

You're just butt hurt because you get random good/misses/whatever.

Most songs (Excluding the older songs, but even some of those have nicely synced steps.) are on sync. Granted there are some that are, but don't blame it on every single song for your mistakes. It's just common human error.

I can read/combo **** a lot better when I'm tired but my PA is way better when I'm well-rested. In each case I keep roughly the same amount of boos.
