FC'd the hardest song this season

[upbeat iron]

very abstract but fun chary

[fierce hound]

imo hardest non-pro chart in fest
insane accomplishment gg <3

ALSO FINALLY another actually good keyboard player

[dense light]

Share your wisdom on how you did this 😂

[tropic scaffold]

ngl it would be pretty easy if you learn the pattern and im not sure but there was only 1 solo part so not that hard

theres absolutely harder songs that i can think of

[fierce hound]

I don't think the pattern itself is why it's so hard...
I think it's hard because of how many times it appears, stamina is a real issue (at least for keyboard players)

[tropic scaffold]

if the stamina is the thing there’s songs like one and nightmare

[dense light]

I'm on keyboard and i can't do the pattern, stamina is no issue for me

[tropic scaffold]

and also march of the pigs and everlong

[tropic scaffold]

yeah im both keyboard and controller player i still didn’t get used to controller because of the settings

like playing with tumb sucks i cant spam with that

[dense light]

yea lol

[fierce hound]

idk different for everyone
for me I find the pattern simple, just there is a lot of it.

[tropic scaffold]

there’s a advice for stamina, just play the songs that need most stamina over and over again with few minute breaks

that was all i did with one and other spamming songs

and it really works no matter keyboard or controller

and if you’re getting bored of the song just mute the game and open something in the background

[fierce hound]

stamina only becomes an issue for me after repeatedly playing the song many times over (ie: when score grinding)

[tropic scaffold]

yeah thats why you should give breaks

[little sigil]

I'm a keyboard player, and i can agree, mainly because I have chronic pain with specifically my right poiner finger and that specific chart flares it up almost all the time with how repetitive it is

I'd actually say the drum chart is technically harder pattern wise considering the drum fill before the chorus has a tricky overdrive timing, and the drum roll near the end is pretty quick and follows multiple pattern switch-ups

[dense light]

I just don't know how its possible on lead, its just a massive skill issue for me tbh

[little sigil]

Try speeding up your track speed. upping it to 2.0 can be helpful for that chart as it gets rid of visual clutter and allows you to actually study the pattern

[dense light]

I've studied the pattern and know what im supposed to be doing, my fingers just cant press notes that close together with so many of them

[little sigil]

at that point its just practice, practice, practice. Eventually muscle memory will kick in and allow you to clear pretty well.

[dense light]

ive done this song like 60 times already, idk if i can do it

[little sigil]

60 is pretty low in terms of attempts for songs of this difficulty. Some people drop hundreds of attempts to fc it.

I know I probably did around 100 attempts for my drum chart flawless

[dense light]

that's fair, I get pretty demotivated everytime i mess up on the hard part though, makes me not wanna retry it
