I personally prefer to be hyped up on energy drinks. I can't imagine how hard I would suck after a Benedryl.

I sometimes just find myself watching the combo go up while sub-consciously hitting all the arrows then thinking "Dear god I'm not even paying attention". Pretty much though practise you pick up on patterns and will be able to look at a wall of arrows and know instantly how to react to them.

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot. I find myself thinking about that awkward moment today and why it happened while I'm FC'ing some Difficult song. x_x It's like, [i]"Whoa, I'm not even looking at the arrows, I wonder how long I can do this!"

I remember doing the same during those long Endurance Races in Gran Turismo 3.

I can FC and PA much better if I stare at the place where the "perfect!" comes up.
I screw up horribly if it is above that.
(I once turned off the combo and Accuracy meter in the subby beta, and I have never failed so badly)

When I drink soda or eat candy before playing stepmania I usually just spaz the **** OUT and miss every note.
