    Overall rank is a function of your grand total score. It's your position amongst the rest of the players in FFR with respect to your grand total score.

    Average rank is a function of your actual skill level in improving your level rank stats. The lower the ranks you get on a lot of songs, the lower your average rank will be.

I completed death piano which obviously many other people can do bt I HATE CONSTANT DOUBLE STEPS... anyways it tires me for some reason. Really good game =D I'm nooby because I'm new to the game but not to the genre.. xD

          I believe your playstyle is similar to mine. I strongly encourage you to do the style that's best for you instead of being like everyone else. I've been playing 1 finger - 3 finger for years with various combinations:

          Started with the arrow keys, then changed too many dang times:
          A [Down Arrow] [Up Arrow] [Right Arrow]
          Q I O P
          T Y U I
          Z X C V
          Q 7 8 9
          And I think one time I tried Z 1 2 3
          F G T H
          Curent style (FFR and SM): G H Y J

          So...yeah. Go with whatever works with you. I've gotten a couple AAAs but I really don't care about timing too much which is why most of the time I might have it off or masked.

          If you don't start getting AAAs within a year, don't throw a hissy fit. If you're having fun playing, don't change your style. ^^

          By making this post, I am not insulting anyone using a spread style, because that is the style you stuck with and is your style, and there's nothing wrong with that.

          Also, maybe if I had more contact with the community when I was first starting out Stepmania, maybe I would be playing spread and sucking. I can't freaking play spread for my life >.<

            i've been doing DF GH for quite awhile now, and I have to say that after about a month of playin FFR, I'm very damn good! I don't like to speed up arrows because I don't like them to just JUMP out in front of me so fast. No, I prefer the "If button-mashing is your only option, then go nuts", and the "DF in one hand, GH in the other so you have full control no matter what" methods.

              Spread is the most efficient, split and index can work too. One hand 3 fingers isn't a very popular/efficient play style. Your play style isn't at all the same as hers, you use split, she uses one hand.

                  Re: How to get better at FFR

                  Ive been playing FFR/Sm for about 5 years on and off now...And honestly my skills are REALLY lacking. I picked up on it fast, and over time ive of course gotten much better than I was before. But over the last year or so it feels like ive just hit a huge wall...My PA is pretty good...but god bless if I could AAA anything decent. I can FC just about anything lvl 9 and below, but as to songs 10 or above, I just cant do it most of the time.

                  Been at this same spot for most of the year now and Im not sure how to approach it anymore. Im not looking to AAA anything great atm...But i need some tips/guidance on where to go from here.

                  PS - Just playing more FFR/Step isn't cutting it anymore ;-;

                      I used to be an index player for a long while but learning how to play spread now makes it a lot easier for me.

                      I'm trying to be both index and spread player but at the end of the day, I rather choose spread than index.

                          When you're in the game, click on setting in the top right hand corner. A little menu will pop up, and you can set your keys there.

                          Left: S
                          Down: D
                          Up: J
                          Right: K
