How to get better at FFR

Re: How to get better at FFR

It helps because the accuracy timing is different. Not just because the judge is higher, but because it seems you have to be more precise. (even if SM is on Judge 2, you still have to hit pretty much dead on..)

And yeah further more you can test your accuracy and push it to the limit by jacking the judge level up.

(I'm not a pro or anything, so they may say differently)

FFR went down late 2009 and was resurrected last October.

Did you have a question in regard to improving your arrow-smashing skill?

I find the best way to get better is find a song you really love, but is way too hard for you. And play that song over and over until you are used to it's difficulty. Then move on to other hard songs.

Speaking of loving songs, when i began FFR, I practiced immensely on a level 4 song called "Love".

It's a catchy tune, and slowly and gently introduces you to hitting two arrows at once..
I highly recommend this song to new FFR players!

If you had a music or band class of any kind. You should already feel at home with this game. Since each arrow color represents a rhythmic value.

Re: How to get better at FFR

I started playing FFR a very long time ago, then took a two-year break during University. I'm trying to get back into it now, and it's really hard to get back to the skill level I was at in High School. Feeling like a "newbie" again, I came here to find tips to get better.

I'm realizing that I never read any of the forums, participated in the FFR community, asked for any help or tips, or talked to anyone about FFR gameplay in all my years of playing. I've been playing one-handed for ~5 years, and never considered changing styles.

I think I'm gonna do this right, this time. Explore forums, experiment, participate.

Thanks for this thread, and hello to everyone here. I'm gonna try to actually play this game now, for real...

Re: How to get better at FFR

Hey FFR! I've been playing for a while now but I'm a complete noob when it comes to forums.
I was wondering though: After playing a lot of difficult songs I feel kind of worried about my keyboard on my laptop which I think hurts my play a little bit. I was wondering if the keyboard you use can affect how well you do on a song.
For example: if you have a wireless keyboard would that throw off your accuracy because of signal delay? Are keyboards with heavier keys worse because of clunky-ness or better because it's harder for your fingers to move off the keys?

Re: How to get better at FFR

Well, there are all sorts of little things with posture, hardware and other things that are by and large only relevant to top players (with the notable exception of ghosting, a phenomenon tied to keyboard architecture and how it handles presses of three or more keys). For the most part, simply focus on getting better--it can take months or even years for any significant improvements to happen, but when it does, it's suddenly all worth it. Only worry about things like your choice of keyboard if you're noticing truly crippling problems with latency, or if one or more of your chosen keys are busted.

In a fit of rage, one of our own even famously hit his monitor with his keyboard so hard that he broke the LCD, but that's a completely different topic.

Re: How to get better at FFR

I really suck at this game. I played this song 114 times and after all that I can't even get a positive score, even though I managed to pass. How can I improve? I'll get a replay next time I do that while logged in if that helps, but I'm reluctant to, since I don't want my grandtotal and credits to go down.



(Why is imgur not working?)

EDIT: If you couldn't tell, this post was meant to be a bit of a joke, I tried to get the lowest possible (combo based) score on any song while still passing >____< but yeah besides that, I'm still pretty awful and could use advice
