1.75 best speed

Re: Question for the Experts

Hmmm, I fluctuate between 1.85x and 2.0x, I haven't converted to spread yet, haven't found anything I'm comfortable with. I'm definitely no expert at this game, but I've been around for a while and I've watched people improve on their skills just by changing up a few things, the more new tricks you learn the better you get at this game.

Re: Question for the Experts

AlexDest plays with Hallway. Overhead is a different story when it comes to the speed changes but it is the default setting.
I play pretty high speeds on Distant since I removed the score border thing at the bottom.
I used to play C870 now it's C900 Distant, which is around C750 on Overhead.

Speaking of that, that is like 2.1 on FFR.

isnt that cheating.?

This

I play as56. I'm gonna have to disagree with you for a little who_cares, i find close setups like sdjk or askl harder for some reason, my hands play songs so much easier when they are parallel and in a comfortably straight position, so while my left hand play AS, my right hand sits comfortably on the numpad hitting 56. when i play askl my right arm is awkwardly tilted inward to the keyboard and it uncomfortable.

Re: Question for the Experts

why do you guys play with suck high sppedmods? lol i play 1.5 and right now im mid-high D4... not really expert. more of intermediate.

Same

But I need to up it a notch soon so that I might actually get my first FMO AAA since I seem to get close all the time. I might change it to 1.75 over the summer and practice it.

I play left arrow key, down arrow key, 5/2, 6/3. And I have my keyboard tilted like this \

No.
Cheating in my case would be putting the Judge to 1...
and doing all sorts of stuff in the Stepmania.ini lol.

but it's the same speed as C750, but way easier to hit marvelous.. and taking the down bar away too, thats double cheating...

Re: Question for the Experts

It's personal preference. The timing window doesn't magically increase when you switch to hallway, just saying.

Re: Question for the Experts

For those of you who play the D10 songs and up and actually get good scores, what is the best way to spread the arrows to where you can actually read them? i play on speed 1.4 and it still is horribly cramped when i try to move on to harder songs. i would like to get better at these harder songs, but i feel like im stuck at a dead end.

I use 1.5, but 1.75 is probably best, I just haven't adjusted to that speed yet

Re: Question for the Experts

my current speed setting is x1.875, but of course there is some variety to that. i usually bump up the speed as i get comfortable with a d10 (or 9, 11 whatever) that merits a bit more space between the arrows.

currently i play a x,d (left, up) l,p (down, right) setup on my laptop but i haven't heard anyone that plays a spread anything like it haha ><

Re: Question for the Experts

I played on 2x for like a year but now I think I like 1.95x better... just found that out after playing around with speeds last week

Re: Question for the Experts

Complete Preference.

I remember a time with no speed mods, and the best players had to cut the screen down much like the sudden mod will do for you now. I have seen as high as 2.2x and as low as 1.5x and i currently play at 1.9x.

You should make it as high as you can without struggling to keep up, it will make the arrows easier to read.
