    Re: How to get better at FFR

    The way that I use seems to work REALLY well with some of my friends, as I have showed them this game and already--some of them can pass FMOs without excessively high (100+) boo counts!

    But the way I see it is: play a song that you find to be challenging for you, and master it. When that becomes too easy--go to a harder song and master it. ETC.

    Just keep going along this process and you'll get better really fast.

    Once you're able to comfortably pass all of the songs, go back to the easier songs and get better accuracy. Work your way up that way as you did with the song passing. This should be a pretty fast and effective way to learn--as it is how I did.

      well what worked for me is finding a song that you really enjoy...BUT! that you have a hard time passing or getting a decent combo on and keep doing it until you keep beating your record and get a delicious combo ^_^ it worked rather well for me. I did flight of night for a while now and i have seen very nice improvements ...i can do most very challenging songs ans barely pass some masters and guru's lol

                What helps for me is to just pick a song that you like and that you can get really in to. If you can get in to the song then you're more likely to do better.
                Also to pick out a few songs in advance and listen to them a few times before you actually play them.
                That helps, too.

                  I found I got better by trying to fc all the level 1 songs, then the level 2's then 3's and so on. The songs get harder, and they have different step combinations and speeds which help when you reach the harder songs.

                  I also find it easier to read the song when the arrows run down, not up.

                        Get Stepmania and turn on Marvelous :P It helps with accuracy a lot, since the standards are a bit higher, so when you move back to FFR your PA will be even better.

                          Turn up the justice you mean? Like go in the machine options in the settings and turn up the justice level, right?

                            Nah, you don't even need to turn up the judge level. There's a setting somewhere in Stepmania to turn on Marvelous timing for all songs; Marvelous has half the timing window of Perfect, so you get a better sense for how close you're really hitting the notes. (In DDR, Marvelous timing was typically only used when you played on Challenge difficulty, and Stepmania emulates that unless you tell it not to.) People who are much better at Stepmania than I am have told me that the best way to improve PA is to improve MA (Marvelous Attack), so having that extra level of scoring will definitely help you get more accurate overall (since what constitutes a Perfect in FFR is actually a rather wide range). If I remember correctly, Stepmania's Perfect window is a little bit narrower than FFR's too, so if you can AAA a song on Stepmania you should have a slightly easier time AAAing a similar song on FFR.

                            Of course, if this isn't enough, turning up the judge to 7 (halving the timing window of everything) or installing Ridiculous timing (Ridiculous has half the timing window of Marvelous) can be useful for Stepmania players, but this level of accuracy won't really affect your FFR scores since FFR is all about PA.

                              I tried cutting my screen before I read this, but it doesn't work for me, I think it just works for most people, I'd say, & my friend told me it's really helpful for people who play x1, when I play 1.75x

                                you can change the keys, you can go on godnick's training thingy, you can practice, you can do a really hard but passible song (in your opinion) and just keep doing it until you pass it with ease, work your way up through songs. but in the end all this has to do with playing right?. heh so just paly and have fun aka...practice and have fun
                                ANYWAYS! Have a nice day
