    AAA/FC Tips?

    Hello all!

    I've been playing FFR for a little while (had an account before this one, realistically, I've been playing since 2005), and I'm trying to get myself up to the level of being able to actually FC and AAA decently challenging songs. I was wondering if anyone here has any tips or tricks or things to work on to work myself up to this level?

    Also, for any of you FFR-Pros-- What key config do you use? Traditionally, I've been using the directional keys, but I hear ASKL every now and then.

    Play spread. I use: SD JK

    Also, increase your speed mod. I currently play on 2.1x, but don't jump to a speed mod at first, gradually work your way up. You'll notice that your PA will increase the more your practice.

      I use one of the strangest keysetups. ZX86 here.

      As for tips: This might be too cliche of a statement but practice makes perfect. Play at a comfortable speed mod as well. Lastly, don't get anxiety attacks like me, because that will prevent you from AAAing songs. Try to not care when you attempt to do it.

        also, another thing to do is to practice on harder songs. It makes it much easier to do well on easier songs.

          umm to be really good
          this game takes hours and hours of nonstop play every day.
          this is how i got my huge skillboost.. i spend like 5-6 hours a day playing FFR/SM and the other 6-7 hours playing CS 1.6 all in one day.

          do it up.

            Spread, high speed mod for AAAs (i use a low one actually, running with 1.5 or 1.25 most of the time), spread, practice, spread, oh and use a spread set up. I like xc;,. as mine, but mess around with it and use one that feels good to your hands and doesn't wear your wrists down.

              Easier said than done, I know from experience. Let your hands move by themselves and focus on relaxing your body.

                  Disagree.

                  Anyways take the highest difficulty you can fc and go to the ingame song information thread. then find the "hardest" song the next difficulty up and whore it. Generally speaking you should slowly improve.

                  I also recommend playing every file in the game at least once. It'll expose you to literally everything. Learning how to one hand up to level 5 songs on each hand also helped a bit for me.

                    I read this as "Let your hands move by themselves on your relaxing body."

                    T_T

                    Back on topic, just play songs out of your level. Like, if you can FC 8s, play 10s. Try and play one or two levels above what you can actually play and you'll see that when you drop back down to lower difficulties, your accuracy will be so much greater.

                      1.75 seems to be the best speed for accuracy. Speedmods higher than that can give a greater chance of hitting all over the place.

                        Move your fingers really fast

                        Edit: but in all seriousness, SM makes a real difference. I don't think ill get into any real detail but (and I hate to say this) to be good at this game you have to have no life, or at least for a little while till you get good and then you can be a little more laid back. playing this game is like riding a bike, once you learn how to do it, you'll naturally be able to recover your skill with almost no time at all compared to gaining it and slowly but surely will get better.

                          Debatable. I like 1.85 for that same reason.

                            I'm probably the only one here that did this, but.

                            Unlimited space to host images, easy to use image uploader, albums, photo hosting, sharing, dynamic image resizing on web and mobile.


                            I scroll my screen to that position. It cuts off the arrows at the top, and somehow I think it has helped me tremendously.
