Anybody else just know deep down whenever you're going to have a bad day or a good day on ffr? It's really weird. My skill at this game is so ridiculously dynamic. Some days I can nearly SDG FGO's, while other times I can hardly keep it under 100 goods. Furthermore, I can legitimately feel whether or not I'm rhythmically inclined at a particular time. It's a really odd feeling.

Re: feel the rhythm flow
bu-bu-but I can't improve my stats on FFR by playing SM D: seriously, i'm an extremely meticulous stat whore. every time i've ever tried playing like KBO or 3rd style I always drift back here after like 10 minutes. it's not really healthy..1st Place / FFR 6th Official Tournament / D2

Not at that moment no. But practicing on there will help over all.Originally posted by thesunfanOriginally posted by choofOriginally posted by choofOriginally posted by CelirraComment

Re: feel the rhythm flow
SM especially helps me in simple speed and stamina, because the length of most songs I have being quite long, and aren't very forgiving with a lot of pauses. I would think it also helps me a bit with MA, considering I hate having the Amazing! judge being visible in FFR, but have no problems with the Marvellous judging. Lastly, SM helps me getting better at jumpstreams/handstreams, because of the chord cohesion thing.
After some heavy SM sessions, going back to FFR takes a little while to adapt back to it, but then I personally seem to be doing better than I did before practising in SM.948 AAAs | 1461 FCs | 549 TPs | 7 FMO AAAs

Re: feel the rhythm flow
pretty much every top ffr player has put a lot of time into sm for practice because it's so much more effective than ffr for practice, especially because ffr didn't support rates before (with the exception of smartdude and maybe a few others)Comment

Re: feel the rhythm flow
generally good days for me are noted if I don't feel tired/sleepy. (maybe if I sleep more I will get good days all the time? hm.)
I don't swing in skill as much as you do, but I wish I did... teens on Rave7 :O
I play Stepmania because a lot of the files are brutal/ridiculous FFR difficulty :P playing Pandora or Canary gets old after a whileComment

Re: feel the rhythm flow
to expand on that, you can and will get rid of your "statwhore" mindset if you give it a try
but even if you somehow couldn't, you will probably improve at a faster rate on sm because of more challenging files & dumps to practice on, plus not so much of the FFR AAA mentality: people here are so focused on AAAing a file which is usually just an improvement of 1 or 2 goods that they aren't challenging themselves at all and not physically pushing themselves to get better. mentality on sm is much more about getting good passes or trying to A / AA / FC(which is harder) a file... nobody really cares about aaas. and you also get to improve your MA which is a fun experience.
then take all that improvement and play ffr again for your precious stats
and i don't mean to denounce FFR or say that SM >>>>> FFR and FFR is dum
its quite fun and there are a lot of cool files and its fun to try to get high ranks, good scores and such. i played ffr a ton for a while but could never get an fgo aaa, then i took a break and took on sm for a while, came back less than a year later and i can sightread fgosComment

Re: feel the rhythm flow
playing stepmania over the past week or two has made me worse at FFR because i'm getting used to the way SM looks so just be cautious of that

Yes, I can pretty much tell if I'm gonna rage or lack stamina/energyComment

Re: feel the rhythm flow
I always remember playing stepmania exclusively for a few days then coming back to FFR and getting readjusted to it in a couple of hours and being better than I had ever been before
More so than if I had spent those few days just playing FFR
Not sure why haha
