I do this too. I seem so focused, then I get bored and get a good or a miss.

Focusing out helps me do well on patterns I have mindblocks on

I'll also raise my thumbs the smallest bit from the keyboard and I'll get tons of goods

Well, when I played for 24 hours straight, something... peculiar... happened.

I saw the arrows moving upscreen, and then they started to tilt left... even after I discovered it was because I started leaning to the right somewhere near the middle of every song, I had very little focus to keep myself from doing it over and over again.
This was combined with some sort of drunken disability I acquired, which made me think there was some sort of story happening in every song :l
I don't know what exactly happened, but it wasn't any fun... still worth the prizes though.

On other normal occasions though, I tend to headbang and that helps me AAA everything.

if i play for a long time i see the arrows going everywhere it's really weird, thats why i havent been on very much any more oh and also if i go into a tranze i do really good even though i dont know what im hitting xD it's REALLY weird also if i play for a long period of time i lift both my pinkies up and i some times head bang,twiddle my feet,sing along with the song,i HAVE the play with the lights off or i just play at night, also i have to have my index,middle and thumbs all touching the key board or i get goods alot,
i cant have auto-fail on it makes me feel like im under pressure like i HAVE to hit the right notes or i will die xD not really but it makes me tense also if i have a ciggerette i play alot better some times

just realized this is everyone combined xD i have alot of weirdness happening when i play im surprized i just dont play naked or sumthing XD

[Adamaja456]

ah i just thought of my other thing.

my left index finger always feels weird so while the song is loading, ill take my thumb, grab the top of my index finger, and squeeze/pull it down. sometimes to pop it, sometimes just because its something i do.

its weird, if you watch my turbulence BF on youtube, you will see me do it

Habits...let's see.

pinkies up while playing
on long combos, I tend to drift into a daze
if I'm banging the keys really hard, the caps lock will come on.
I'll be thinking..."I'm going to mess up, I'm going to mess up..." and that makes me miss arrows.
and my heart rate fluctuates wildly once I get a combo over 1000.

I sometimes tense up too much on some songs like Final Fantasy Last Battle Festival. I start shaking like mad, hitting more Boos than I should. Sometimes I still shake for 10 minutes afterwards. I usually have to play a song like Death Piano to calm me down. I even tensed up so much that my entire left arm went 100% numb. I kept fumbling and hitting the incorrect keys because of that.

Another thing I do is cringe my mouth/frown. For some reason, I feel like I can play better that way.

I have a habit of pushing my keyboard when playing so I keep my hands in the air as much as possible. For some songs, I have my hands bounce, not just my fingers. I can go with the beat better that way. If my keyboard does move, I try to bring it back to the normal position, but this causes me to mess up.

Hitting the keyboard so hard at times that my monitor starts shaking. >.>

I sometimes rub my fingers against each other between some parts of songs. It's like they itch between arrows and I want to scratch, but it's hard to not mess up that way. It causes a good amount of Misses that I get from songs lower than difficulty of 10.

Going so out of thought that I sometimes don't realize I got a Miss/Boo/Average.

^ ^ these things, mostly
Gets annoying

Another thing, i tend to not blink.
If I blink, I miss.

[tha Guardians]

I jack off while I play. I don't really consider it a bad habit though, it just gooks up my arrows a bit.

I bet you get a little carried away with it, don't you?

I do.

[YaBoySM]

I sometimes play One-Handed while vibrating on my GF.

[Prime8]

I tend to suck at FFR whenever I play. That's the only habit I can think of.

[fo3h4mm3r]

My pinkies stay down and the only fingers touching my keyboard are the ones playing. Umm bad habits? I tend to bounce to easier songs, I have to press notes before and after songs (for every rhythm game except ones like ffr where it hurts you), I tend to lean really close to the monitor as I get closer to a good score (also happens on fps games like if I'm the last person on my team.) and when I get nervous if I'm going to FC/AAA a harder song my legs start to shake and I sweat a lot. On holds or slow notes I hit the keys very hard. xD

Not very bad but they are there.

[Vuture]

When I play for extended periods, my mind kind just wonders and I just pressed the keys without thinking. Funny thing is I play best like this, not when I'm concentrating.

P.S. My first post in over 2 months ^^

[Megamanmaniac]

I like to push my wrists against the keyboard becuase when I hit the arrow keys the keyboard moves and so I end up trying to slide the keyboard back into a comfortable position all the time and mess up real bad. I just cant stop it.

[TC_Cyrenics]

I have a weird habit.

I'll chat it up with my friends as I play.

For example:
During my Flying High sightread I was chatting with my pals while they played a card game. It mostly centered around women, my average rank, and the fact that I play FFR. I AAA'd the song, even with distractions all around.

[Tired_Old_Man]

sometimes I nod my head to the music

[~Zero~]

One of my favorite distractions is when i noticed i haven't blinked in awhile like mid song, then i am like, "maybe i should blink" and right after i blink i can never stop.

[samurai7694]

my pinkies go straight up right when i start playing, and when i play vibrating songs like death piano, RATO, or that Psycostik song with the long name, my whole hand slightly slips away from the askl keys and it doesn't register. I can vibrate well it's just that my hands move back and forth a little bit.
