BEST advice to a noob

Re: BEST advice to a noob

Competition is always a good way to improve. Is fast and painful.

If there's no pain, there's no improvement.


Enter a tournament, play in multiplayer, etc.

Uh, my muscle strength is pretty weak and I still vibrate friggin fast -.-

That is a slight understatement.

Minacious had an alt, and played SM before iirc.

The only reason I pointed out that vibrating really isn't necessary in most FFR songs is because you titled this as advice towards novice players. Imo, to tell someone that vibrating is a necessary skill is herding them towards the wrong direction.

neop, I started on ffr first, somewhere between late dec and early jan 07, then moved to sm after ~6 months of ffr

and if you want to truly get good at ffr/sm, you have to stop treating it like a game and start treating it like a sport

FFR is no longer a game its a way of life.

~Zero~'s Secrets

1: Play SM
2: Hit Arrows
3: Play FFR
4: Hit Arrows
5: Continue this until you don't suck anymore

yea thats true, but I wonder if it matters how long you train on each before switching to the other. I noticed it takes a bit to re-adjust to both, but if I play SM for a week and go back to FFR I totally own until Ive been playing FFR for a few days without SM. Its cuz of the gay choppyness of FFR I think.

Re: BEST advice to a noob

Oh and I almost forgot one more tip.. before playing each day it helps quite alot to do trilling/jacking warm-ups. Just trill both hands fast as you can for like 5-10 mins, then try jacking for a bit. I've noticed this really helps, instead of confusing your brain and not playing at your best.

If I start to get bored of training for a while, a good toke always fixes it. It seems to make me feel the music better. xP

Re: BEST advice to a noob

don't worry about vibrating. as of this post there are only five files + vrofl you'd ever want to vibrate on (rato, death piano, crowdpleaser, -maybe- revo, -maybe- almost there); even if you wanted here we go that leaves one other file you can also ignore!
