I've played FFR for a while. I have like 75% of all songs AAA'd.

Used to play SM but the timing's off on my computer so I can't play it atm. I think the high-score board and community of FFR make it way more fun than SM, but that's just me.

I don't think it helps. There might be incremental improvements in finger strength/speed, but you'd get those from cubing too, and most of cubing is lookahead and algorithm knowledge anyway.

daniel0731ex: Why'd you quit all your other hobbies for cubing? I've never seen cubing as something that required all my free time, and I don't think you ever need to do that unless you are trying to break a record or win a competition. Lots of practice over time is just as good as lots of practice now.

Hey. I just started actually practicing (StepMania; not FFR). I'm really bad, only able to pass up to "standard" songs, and I was wondering for any helpful hints as how to get better other than "practice and look ahead" :p
Should I just do standard until I can get As all the time, or should I go on Heavy, and challenge myself?

Do heavy! but do a song you like so that you get the rythim down and focus on getting the keys, then practice this one and the results will translate.

I would go Heavy right away. Stepmania is pretty easy to get good at in my opinion.

Haven't played it for awhile though..I probably suck now. Maybe I'll be able to get AA on Quasar

I used to play both.

I'm Nostopballa on FFR and SMO.

I have a SM video on my youtube channel, but that was back when I played SM nearly everyday.

EDIT: two minutes after posting this I am on FFR haha, hit me up on AIM or MSN and we can do some multiplayer if anyone is game.
EDIT2: And now ffr.com and the mirrors are down?
