How long did it take for you to get real good at ffr?

**DossarLX ODI** · 03-30-2012, 09:15 PM

Define "real good"

It takes hours of practice, accumulation of carpel tunnel syndrome, quitting ffr, restarting ffr, and then being like Mr. Rubix, then you have sex with a really hot chick, and finally you'll be like Dossar.

I'm not a "pro" though so it probably takes a lot less time.

**bballa48** · 03-30-2012, 09:27 PM

Probably 2-4 years for most.

**MikeShinoda12345** · 03-30-2012, 09:28 PM

fc'ing fmo's: 1.5 years-ish
aaa'ing vc's: 2

**CammyGoesRawr** · 03-30-2012, 09:36 PM

It's really subjective, it depends on who you are. In my case, I joined on July 9th, 2011. And i was FC'ing FMO's by early September, then i got my first VC AAA on October 15th of 2011. I would say it's a matter of accumulated time of practice, rather than having been a member for x amount of months, years, or whatever.

**Artic_counter** · 03-30-2012, 09:37 PM

Depending on how often you play, I'd say around 1.5-2 years. That's what it took me if I remember correctly.

**mrpreggers** · 03-30-2012, 09:39 PM

Mash a couple high FGOs, go to sleep, wake up the next day.. PRESTO. AAAing FMOs like they're nothing.

This strangely works.

**samurai7694** · 03-30-2012, 09:42 PM

first FMO AAA/oni unlock was none would escape, which happened sometime in october 2008. just about less than two years after I joined (on my first account)

p.s. I played *at least* 4-5 hours a day.

**BethanyBangs** · 03-30-2012, 09:42 PM

I still haven't had a vc aaa but some bfs :< I'm not sure though. I started spread last year in April and within a few months I was fcing fmos.

EzExZeRo7497 · 03-31-2012, 02:20 AM

I took a week to SDG a FMO, a month to AAA a FGO. Took me 4-5 months or so to get teens on a 13.

I came from the SM community, and usually when you're good at Stepmania you should be good at FFR as well after getting used to the timing.

Depends if you have past rhythm game experience and improvement rate altogether really.

**Winrar** · 03-31-2012, 02:29 AM

It took me 4.5 years to AAA my first VC D:
FCing FMOs came much earlier than that.

00Razor00 · 03-31-2012, 02:32 AM

1 day

**Emo_Saur_** · 03-31-2012, 02:37 AM

Been here for over 5 years, no FMO AAA.

**Jerry DB** · 03-31-2012, 02:39 AM

I was at the point where I was barely aaa'ing level 10's in 2008 and it took me about 6 months to get there with like 2 hours a day put into the game. I then took a unwanted break and played again for a few months in 2009 but after a few months all that happened was I was about where I was before and the site crashed.
I came back to this site in october 2011 and after 2 years I was pretty terrible. All i did for a month or more was whore vrofl because the game was way too laggy to get better. Anyways fixed lag and started trying to get better in november. Beginning of november I was struggling to aaa 6's. Beginning of december I was starting to get 9's. Beginning of january I was steadily getting 10's. start of February and I was starting to get fmo aaa's. blah blah blah here I am now. Point of the horribly structured story is if you play this game 30-40 hours a week you will get good fast lol. Not saying I'm great or anything but in a month I will be ;D

Edit: should have mentioned this. Right before you go to bed or at least like an hour to 2 before try to play songs that are hard for you(try not to mash) and try to push your stamina to whatever limit you feel safe pushing it too. When you sleep anything you practice,techniques for anything is run through your brain and you can improve very fast keeping that in mind.
I applied this to skateboarding when I first began back in the day. I would always skate a lot in the day as well but I would mostly skate before I went to bed after about 1 month of skating. Instantly I was improving was faster. After 1 week I doubled my skill in 1/4 of the time basically. I also passed up all my friends who were better then me when we skated together in the day but I put in that extra time at night. DO EET

**FontSize72LOL** · 03-31-2012, 03:22 AM

It took me 4 years but i spent 2 years as a one hander, and 1 year off FFR. Its mostly just practice makes perfect. Developing Muscle Memory, and when you get mindblocked, don't play the file for a few days, or alternate between mirrored and non-mirror, noteskins, dizzymod for when you cant (i.e tournament files). Though there are people who are alot better than me who have been playing for a lot less.

**DarknessXoXLight** · 03-31-2012, 03:27 AM

Not that I'm pro or anything, but it took 2 years for me to AAA a VC, but I didn't play hardcore until before the 4th official tourney. Now, 2 years later, I have one FMO AAA.

It takes a lot of grinding, rage, and carpel tunnel. :P dedication cuz ffr is lyfe u kno?~*
