Technique vs Stamina

With all the crazy songs like Hades, NGO(Oni), FaxX, PO etc. What you consider stops you from beating it?

For me is stamina. If i'm pump up, I could get really far on most of them.

Too many arrows I guess. The last 10 footer I bet was Maxx Unlimited, and I think that was dumb luck.

For the SN2 10s, it's mostly AWKWARD that's causing me trouble. "Here, do these crossovers to get you facing this way, then jump over here."
For the ITG ones, it's speed. I can't really move fast enough for most of them yet.
Those two take me out long before stamina becomes an issue.

Speed and crossovers for me as well.

It takes too long for my mind to click and realise that it's a crossover and to NOT double-step some charts. This is usually the case if the chart scrolls too fast.

If the chart, scrolls too slow however, my mind just goes blank with too many arrows on the screen.

Mostly stamina for me, especially in higher up ITG songs.

One thing that really screws me over in a lot of 10 footers though is jumps. In Maxx Unlimited, the thing that kept killing me before i was finally able to pass it was the jumps mixed in the second half. Same thing with Paranoia Hades. The jumps at the beginning kill me before I can really get anywhere in the song, though even if i could get past it, I would definatly die at the crossover part at the end anyway lol.

A good reason to go by .25 intervals for speed mods on SM.

Stamina and crossovers.

I know how to do them but sometimes I get confused while I'm sideways. Stamina is also a problem. I'm 5'6 ~180 pounds. Myself and others are surprised that I have the stamina I have but I need a lot more to pass 10 footers and boss songs on .

I only managed to pass 3 10 footers.

bag (sped up of course)
CHAOS
Outer Limits , the festival or SN2 chart.

The latter was in front of people and they were like "DAMN! You move fast!" XD

Crossovers on fast songs mess me up bad. Sometimes, I somewhat forget where the arrow that im crossing over is so ill end up hitting the center, or the lower left panel.

Though i can pass (and usually A) pretty much every 10 up to Supernova (Excluding some challenge charts) my 2 main reasons for failing 10's are bad step charts and oddly placed jumps. Songs like Maxx Unlimited are easy for me jump wise, but when it comes to FELM on Challenge, Unreal on expert (i know a 9), NGO on challange, or FAXX on expert, the charts are so bad i just dont want to play them.

I havent played to many of the SN2 boss charts on a pad, but most are pretty retarded as well (Stepchart wise). Pluto Relinquish makes sense in a way, since it is synced with the song quite well, but the NGO and Hades challenge charts are just made tough for no reason it seems. And again with FAXX, its expert chart isnt even synced with the song, so its hard to pass it for me since i try to keep with the beat but they add extra steps, and off beat steps, and randomly placed jumps which i just hate.

---

I can do speed quite well. I have been able to clear FAXX Expert before. My main problem is crossovers. Yeah, at only 200 BPM or something, they're fun. When it's in Paranoia survivor or even faster, I have real problems keeping alive. That's why the end part of NGO kills me on Heavy often.

Well, I think stamina is more important than speed. You can learn technique, you can't learn stamina It's probably the reason why I'm still stuck at 9-10's.

You can't learn stamina, but if you continually push at the boundaries of your stamina, you'll develop more stamina.

If all of the components of the platform and panels are all bare feet friendly (That is, it uses plastic instead of metal on the platform and not on the panels, all panels are as elevated as the panel, it uses small humps around every sides of the panels, no screws used, no corner panel blockers, and the platform and panels are quite rough, so that your bare feet will not slip off just like when you step on a peeled banana on a street), then maybe many players can perform and attain better with this platform I just described.

Stamina, if the song has AIR then I'm done.

Oh, I guess I should change my answer. It now varies from song to song now, but stamina is the killer on more songs now than speed. If I had more stamina, I would have finished Infection last night.
AWKWARD is still a problem for the SN2 bosses though. Mostly keeps me from even trying them, because I've watched the chart, and I know it won't be fun to play.

---

Both Fascination MAXX and Fascination ~eternal love mix~ on are killer songs. I think not only stamina and technique required to beat those songs but knowing the steps especially on very slow BPM section is more important.

Fixed.

Stamina is what gets me alot on DDR. I tire at the last section on FELM , fall down on the pad , then fail. While paranoia Hades and kills me with all that AIR! For ITG its speed plus the density of the arrows on screen. As far as technique, crossovers are almost easy to me, except on NGO and Arrabiatta

The BPM, stops, chaos. That's it. I actually failed CHAOS because of too much chaotic arrows that entered in the game///

How to play CHAOS easily? Hear and play that song more than 100x and remember there are 42 stops within. Just remember when you must "stop" and move.
