Re: Question for the Experts

well i guess that came out wrong...
ill give that a run sometime, see how that goes. for now ive just bumped up to 1.7 and its working as far as being able to read easier. havent really tried the harder songs yet though. im going to stick to the D7/8 songs till i get used to the speed bump.

yep your reaction time is balls right now because you arent used to the speed yet even though you can read it perfectly fine

Re: Question for the Experts

yeah no shit i cant even come close to an FC on anything LOL and on top of that i went from playing on CVBN to ASKL and it messed me up...i can barely hit double notes becuase im not used to my fingers having so much room LOL i really think it threw off my coordination.

Re: Question for the Experts

^ Pretty much this.

When I tried going from arrow keys to ASKL, I noticed that my right index finger had a tendency to drift upwards to the I key. This made sense once I realized that it was muscle memory of the finger being a little higher to hit what it thought was the up arrow key after playing that way for something like 5 years.

The smallest setup change can have a huge impact on your speed and accuracy, even if you can read a file perfectly fine. Above all, find a position and speed that's comfortable for you and stick to it. Macgravel won fame some time ago for playing one-handed on 1x and getting very good scores, so it's really a matter of how much time and effort you want to spend mastering a certain setup.

Re: Question for the Experts

Takes some getting used to, as do most things in this world.

Re: Question for the Experts

I find myself unable to switch from a close setup that is efgy/thji to something more conventional like askl because I'm so use to efgy I am unable to switch

This man speaks the truth.

Re: Question for the Experts

I switched from ASKL to QWOP and actually felt more comfortable and did a lot better >.> whenever I do a key setup change, I improve, I don't know why :/

Re: Question for the Experts

i dont really think its the keys that screw me up, i think its more being used to my hands being so close together. i played one hand when i first started, moved to two hands on the arrows, then went to index, and thats when i was actually good at this LOL, then i went back to two hands but i moved over to the CVBN setup and i havent changed since. i guess im still trying to find what suits me and honestly i think im going to try and go back to index, because thats what really made me half way decent at this game.

Stick to what you love

Imo close setups are better on the joints

Re: Question for the Experts

I play x2... It shouldn't be so fast that you cant read in time to hit a perfect without being all stressed out and it shouldn't be so slow that you can't read or hit perfects.
btw, C1000 is like 3x no? I've tried it on stepmania but its like impossible... how does alexdest play on that speed?

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.
