How fast can you read notes?

This post will appear on the next page!

I never use C-mods, but at least I can play:
DDR: Up to 600 BPM on X2, up to 420 BPM on pre-X.
SM: Up to 700 BPM for chasing FC or passing. Up to 600 BPM for chasing PFC.
ITG: I never play this.
Pump: Up to 700 BPM.

---

For DDR: I would do up to 800 BPM (curse Pluto Relinquish for that)
StepMania: 800 BPM too.

I'd guess about 600 for both DDR and Pump. I don't usually go above 3x unless I'm having a serious problem with the song

Same here.

---

DDR: 2x on everything above 100 BPM and below 250. I increase or decrease accordingly
ITG: About 400 BPM
PIU: Don't play enough to have an average speed
SM: 500~600 BPM

For Doubles, I'm most comfortable with 0.5x
If available, 0.25x

---

DDR- Speed 2x from about 80BPM to 200BPM, 3X lower than 80
SM- X2 from 140-250, X3 100-140, X4 70-90 X5 Below that

---

DDR is about 500~600 BPM
SM is... uh... 600~700 BPM?

So I use speed mod to get in that zone.

---

DDR is about 400~450 BPM.
SM is 600~750 BPMM

Speed Mods make life easier. So does SOLO.

---

Fastest I can do on feet is 832 bpm (the VerTex² speedup 55bpm x1,5)

But I usually play:

ITG single bar: 600-650bpm
ITG single no bar : 550-600bpm
ITG double bar: ~ 550bpm
ITG double no Bar ~500bpm

ITG Keyboard: up to 800bpm

DDR single bar: 550bpm
DDR single no bar :500bpm
DDR double bar: ~ 500bpm
DDR double no Bar ~450bpm

PIU single bar: ~600bpm
PIU single no bar : ~500 bpm (never really play PIU no bar)
PIU double bar: ~ 500bpm
PIU double no Bar: I never played PIU doubles without bar

I never use C-Mods

I use M500 always :/

I'm no good. On the pad it's probably around ~450 but on controller/keyboard probably about 550-600. I typically play songs on 1x (yes, even songs like Bag/Tir'na'nog or however you spell it) unless it's above 200 BPM. Then I usually go for 1.5x or possibly 1x. However, my speed never exceeds 2x.

I try to get the speed of the notes to about 600~650. This means I'll play songs that got up to 200~220 BPM on x3.0. However on older DDR mixes (EXTREME, MAX2 and MAX) I can only read up to 170 BPM on x3.0 since the screen is blocked off more then it is on later mixes and I can't react fast enough.

As for stepmania I really don't play it, but I can read hell of a lot faster on it (250 BPM on x3.0). I only play it nowadays to practice songs with gimmicks.

I don't use speed mods, but in terms of BPM, I can read about 850. Any higher and I start to miss arrows.

I read 115 bpm at 5x on PIU Doubles
but on Keyboard I read at C800/C850
DDR I read 2.5x for 200BPM usually but thats because its impossible to read VD Expert at 1.5x xD

---

On Stepmania, I've gone up to C900 before. Nowadays it's a little tricky, but anything over 900 has so far been pretty tricky for me. My default for index (two fingers, arrow keys) is C625/650. My default for spread (four fingers, YU and []) is C664

I don't play enough pad, and I've never gotten to play ITG. On DDR Machines I use 1.5 for most, and 1x for Max 300 BPM type songs. I can read 1x and even .5x and .75x pretty easily though.
