RE: Hey

I stole the first idea from other better players that told it to me. Everything else (except the advice from others.) was written by myself.

Remeber if you have anything you want to add to help others. I'll try to get it in here if I feel that it hasn't been discussed.

RE: Hey

The first trick on there... i feel really cheap when I use it. Without using the trick, songs like breaking the common are harder than uber rave with that trick. @_@ Feels almostl ike im cheatign *_*

RE: Hey

Actually, I tried that first trick, and it doesn't seem to work for me. I think it's because I rely more on pattern recognition than lightning-fast reflexes (as most of you know, I have no speed whatsoever). Different strokes, I guess.

Hey, you probably already herad this a bunch of times but thanks. When i first started playing this game i sucked big time. But i did that little half screen trick and it helped mor than i could imagine. I mean i'm not mastering anything yet and i'm still on the easy songs, but i'm getting there. Thanks.

Glad I could be of service.

is this why you don't like fast songs?

RE: Re: RE: Hey

Don't forget I'm still a n00blet.

What is this C300 I always hear about? And C560 and all those other things.
I think I understand the gist of it, but how do I change it and what does it do?

RE: Re: RE: Hey

Well, C followed by a certain number measures the rate at which the arrows scroll across the screen. The higher the number, the faster the scrolling. FFR R1 has the scroll rate fixed at C300, so no, you can't change it.

As for Chickendude's comment: Yeah, pretty much. Still can't read C700 the way I can when it's in the 500-650 range. My accuracy on the 16th streams in Grind Me To Dust Heavy has skyrocketed, though I still can't combo the "jumping jacks" in the middle of Disconnected Hazard Standard. It's very weird. <_<

RE: Re: RE: Hey

Wow, I just tried scrolling up the screen, and it helped a lot! Thanks for the tips.

RE: Re: RE: Hey

When you mean scrolling up the screen, do u mean to like only see half of the playing screen. Maybe i'm not understanding but i playb with the arrows at the top and i can't scroll up any higher? i know i am a n00b, but I dont really understand. Sorry i am so dum.

RE: Re: RE: Hey

I've seen some screen setups where you can't really do what I'm talking about. But picture your screen as you look at it. (with the arrows scrolling up.) Then move your screen up so you only see half of what you previously saw. If you have a certain resolution it won't be possible, but just bring the whole window down and it has the same effect.

OMG, thanks for that advice with cutting the screen in half. I've been playing for a little bit more than a year now. It improves me so much now! The Thinking Different song seems much easier, I just need to play it a few times before I combo a lot more. I tried out the Silence song (which I used to think was one of the hardest songs) and I was doing that pretty well! I usually just press whatever to survive, but I was actually comboing on that! Thanks for that tip.
