How to become good?

[aznstalker004]

How does one become good at ffr besides practice? I can't seem to read the clumped arrows fast enough, the arrows are too tightly packed to where i can't, read and press the arrows quick enough. well anyone that can help me. thank you in advance

practice. screenshrinking.

screenshrinking (which will likely make it harder to begin with... but easier in the long run) is where you physically shrink the size of your browser so that you cover up a portion of the bottom of the playing window. this gives you less time to react to the arrows... but it also means that you see fewer arrows on the screen, making it easier to read the ones that you can see.

Sorry to break it to you, but there is no shortcuts were skill is involved. Sure you can optimize the gains you get from practice but it still will take a lot of time. Even though our media is trying to drill in our heads that for example fat loss diets work, but in truth it is the opposite, you can't fool your body, hard work and some more hard work with proper direction works.

You get good by reading the stickies, like this one:

Re: How to become good?

is there any way to decrease the speed of the arrows? I seriously doubt it but feel it is worth asking

Re: How to become good?

I dont think there is sadly. I have the same problem with the arrows being clumped (so used to C400 from Stepmania, still havnt figured out how to make custom mods). Eventually your eyes will adjust after playin enough i guess.

Sometimes when I play the fast simfiles in Resonance, the arrows appear slower in FFR. See if that works.

thanks, but I still don't know what exactly a simfile is

Re: How to become good?

thanx guys for all the help, i'll try some of your advice! And indeeed making the screen smaller, practice and faster reading to which it might increase reading speed are good factors. I wonder why i havn't thought about it before lol

Play Stepmania...OFTEN. Also, when you get decent at SM, play at j5 or j6, thats what I do. Helps my accuracy.
