Today, I was thinking about how ITG skill is related to temperature.
for explaining my chart: on very low temperatures, it´s harder to warm up and to keep warm when making a break, that also results in a higher risk for injuries.
at high temperatures...well, I think everyone of you knows how hard it is to play on a very hot summer day
The chart is related to my own actual skill...or rather what I think of it. (I don´t think I´d fail 1s at 40°C, I`d just no play cause I`d be half dead without moving at all)
So, how your chart would look like?

Definitely easier/more comfortable to play in colder weather. I've played dancing games in 40+ degree temperatures before, great way to drop a stone.

There is a correlation, but it's so minor IMO that you shouldn't totally blame failing songs on the temperature.

@ SM MaxxX I don´t do that at all! (except it´s 35°C and I want to play a 12)
But I though it´s just a funny thought
Was wondering what others thing about this

Well I mean Archi plays 15's and 16's in like 98° garage, so yeah I don't think it's a problem.
Of course having the room suddenly freeze or roast up when playing against Touhous in RIP V would be an awesome idea haha

I could see someone saying "I got 5 Excellents on Bloodrush Expert, stupid AC not working." Honestly I think it varies from the player. I don't want to play in a 55 degree room as someone else would think that's prefect.

I SO agree with you! I can't stand playing DDR/ITG/SM when it's hot, and hot to me is like above 70 degrees. Even when it's in the 30's outside, I keep my window open for some "natural A/C", and it feels great when playing harder/more intense songs. I usually try to keep the room temperature in the low-mid 60's. Not possible during Summer Months, when it gets up to 78+ normally.
In general, I prefer cold over hot temps. I even keep my car's A/C on when it's in the 50's, sometimes 40's outside.

so everyone agrees that cold is better than hot
yay!
I like cold...just noticed warming up is harder when it´s cold, that all. but when you are warm then, it´s great

I play best between 65 and 75. By the time you hit 60 or 80 I've taken a noticeable hit in skill. Once you get to the 55/85 range I don't even bother playing, I'm so much worse that its not even fun.
I know Rynker can play in both colder and hotter temperatures than me, and he prefers 60ish. Not sure how cold he can go but he can still play fine as hot as 90

It might not matter anymore, but it probably would have been a good idea if everyone had specified which temperature scale was referenced since different countries with varying use of the metric system are represented on this site -- it isn't clear to me whether the posts that mention temperatures 40 and 55 were Celsius or Fahrenheit.
I have read that anything below 21 degrees Celsius indoors is not healthy and can actually increase risk of death from blood clot I believe. If that information is accurate, then any indoor temperature less than 21 degrees Celsius or 70 degrees Fahrenheit may be a health hazard. Of course, I also read another source that suggested lower indoor temperatures are allowed if people in the room are more physically active, but the same temperatures are not good for someone who is lying down resting on a couch or bed for example. My experience has been that low 70's Fahrenheit indoors is uncomfortably cold (unless the clock that displayed the temperature wasn't accurate). Of course, I drink about 2.5 liters of water or more daily. Drinking water can help a lot with combating hotter temperatures.

The highest surface temperature ever record on earth is 56.7C. At 55C the machine wouldn't even be able to run. If you did manage to get it work and tried to play you would be dead within minutes. Even 40C is exceptionally hot to be playing dance games.Quote: Dreamboy

Room temperature is generally considered to be about 70F/20C.Post #13 · Posted at 2012-11-23 05:22:19am 11.3 years ago

The way I usually see it, some people just handle certain conditions better. This is especially true if you grow up in an area where it's consistently cold or hot, after a while you're conditioned to perform well at certain temperatures because of your environment.

Oops, I didn't think to convert those temperatures. I guess reading 40 degrees Celsius in the first post, then reading 40 with no units in the next post threw me off. So, the current record highest surface temperature is around 134.06 degrees Fahrenheit, eh?
I used to get hot easily, but now I'm completely the other way around, so heat wouldn't bother me, especially since I often keep a water bottle with me. I typically drink a liter or two of water before I play. I'm not so sure any indoor temperature less than 18 degrees Celsius would be particularly safe or healthy, though.
