50 Billion Here I come

Re: 50 Billion Here I come

Alas, 13th is where my journey comes to an end. After about a thousand combined gameplays, I was unable to skillboost with the rest of the pack, which is really what this thread is all about. I've been playing for quite some time now (First game was in May 2009, although the account is older) and everyone else who has played as much as me is PA'ing FMO's by now. With the tourny I passed 9bil GT and almost 23k gameplays and have only a handful of 8's AAA'd. Over my almost three years, I have made several rivalries with other players, but each of them pass me up with equal or lesser practice. I just improve so slowly is discouraging, like I have to fight for every inch, never 'boosting.'

13th is the best I could have done without a skill boost, so gg's all. Only chance I have at vrofl is 50 billion, maybe I'd actually be good by the time I've played that much.

Anyone have any advice?

Over three years here, almost 10K songs, still can't even AAA a single 6. :\

Are you me? Lol.

But seriously, don't play to improve. Play songs you enjoy that are just slightly out of your skill level like others have said and eventually you'll get better without having a mental block or stressing over it.

And you can't compare yourself with other people. Some people just "get it", some have a better ergonomic setup/keyboard, and some play other rhythm games and then come back to FFR to sandbag all over the tourneys *cough*.

I've been playing only FFR off and on for about as long as I've been a member and I can see myself being in or around the same position as you or worse in your situation, so I know that feel, bro.

Edit: "Only FFR" meaning no other rhythm games, and "off and on" meaning not playing for months at a time (including when FFR was down for almost a year).

Yep, you'd rival me if I was playing right now.

Re: 50 Billion Here I come

The best way of getting better in my opinion is to challenge yourself each day. Do something you don't normally do, and try to excel in whatever you're trying to do. At first you may not be getting the results you don't want, but perseverance is definitely the key. Striving to better your overall skill will take you far in FFR and SM. Not just on a individual song.
