I wish i were this good at real DDR. T___T

It would make sense to have bad accuracy/rush stuff if you have trouble passing it. Your lifebar didn't dip much in the video though.

---

I guess I can post a few screenies.

KB Quad #19 - Blaze (SSSC)


Other scores;











I'll post more later.

More Sharpnelstreamz cause why not








Honorable mention:


Other chart makers, are you even trying?

---

aren't you cute, trying to hide your butthurt behind that comic sans and that fucking cat.

---

welp guess I'm prepared for the gimmick songs in FR VII #getreadyniggers


FUCK YOU IAN PYLES

---

no more

Continuing with the sharpnel sighreads (now with criticism v1.2!)


Nice chart, flows well


☆Rude as fuck☆


☆You tried to chart it, and that's what matters☆


Steps were fun, no complaints


☆You tried to chart it, and that's what matters☆


That was nice and fun, loved it all.



I love me some undetectable bpm changes

I also gave Blue Army another play, just to see if I could get beyond that one great and

It's the same fucking score, are you kidding me
2HYPE4EVO

This also brings the total to 34/60 :D

He does have a point. Lately, any type of "hard" stepchart contains pretty much nothing but dumpstream. Well, mainly those above a 15 block/foot rating.

Most of the issue was that there's a 3 measure 24th trill section, but it's total bullshit since it's at 185 BPM, which isn't unreasonable but really dumb from a player's perspective. It's enough to not make me want to play it again.



I doubt this counts as a sightread, but w/e it's in the pack and I havent played it in ages





That was an...interesting cut for Solitude Sun


Nice job of marking the sudden bpm change, check out that sick full comb-oh right.



well...it has notes in it, and they technically go to the rhythm, that counts for something, right?
also bpm changes.

feels slightly offsync, but it could just be me.

46/60

New York Evolved, 1 boo ! Dx!

---

So tired when I passed it

FINALLY. After Weeks and weeks of playing it....

---

Had another skillboost today, I installed the arcade mod for my cobalt flux and it really helped. I feel more comfortable playing now, but I have a stamina issue.

Stamina issue, first pass


First A, I rush the trills though. I have no trill control


First B. Improvement from my first pass, I definitely got a skillboost


Holy shit I FC'd the 8th streams going into the jumps at the end with some great rushing, this file is easier for me to score on than max 300 right now because I have a stamina issue. First A.







Now to the 11s (most of them are from Indeed Pad Pack):

Passed!


Thought I'd fail at the ending 24ths like I did last time, fortunately that didn't happen this run. This file is relentless.


YES passed the death run at the end



I consider this my best pass as of now next to thrash, the second half of this file is brutal. The 24th run took away half my lifebar and the crossover-heavy streams hit me hard

---

Forgot to get some photos for these new records I got last night, but here they are:

London EVOLVED Ver. A Expert AAAA(MFC)

MAXX UNLIMITED Expert AAA(1 Perfect)

Paranoia survivor Expert AAA(1 Perfect)

MAX -AGGREGATE- Expert AAA(5 Perfect)

MAX -AGGREGATE- Challenge(6 Perfect)

Some more new records:

Really impressed with this, hoping to AAAA this soon


Another record i'm really impressed with




Wasn't hard at all, did it with 1.1 rate though


Another one that wasn't so hard, did it with 1.2 rate

Got the Flu
Finally feeling good enough to sit at the computer and smash my Keyboard a little bit.
Since my left index still isn't healed I had to use my left middle finger instead... feels weird...
but got a few new passes.

5th 14


6th and 3rd DF song


7th


well, not a pass but still good for me... never streamed that long at 190 before...


8th...


and last song of the day


that 13 was kind of hard...



+20%


+15%


Need more Rhapsody <3

Shoutouts to:
- Telperion, giving me suggestions on going no bar when necessary (my arms hurt when holding on to the bar for too long). This helped build stamina and some slight control.
- FrozenAngel91, telling me that I seemed to have decent stamina but low footspeed. He was indeed correct. He also recommended Possession hard to me, which will come later in this post.
- TC_Halogen aka debit13, for giving me tips on adjusting stuff for pad play. I also considered the "heel stepping" he mentioned when we were talking about when he played 10s back in the day as an avid DDR player.
- wildfireskunk. DDR files, while they might not be "quality", are very good in the 10-12 range for building up stamina from how much movement they have. Unfortunately the double steps piss me off, otherwise I'd love the files haha. The crossovers and candles help me build stamina much faster than straightforward stream with some turning at this level of play.
- alloyus and DarkChrysalis for helping me with ITG technical stuff like OGGpatch etc.

So yeah, going to the scores, disabling marvelous timing has allowed me to focus more on the pattern rather than looking at annoying marvelous/perfect ratings on the screen. Right now I am simply just trying to improve my stamina and footspeed, so I'm still playing cmod. My footwork might be sloppy -- I managed to get most of these scores on video, but unfortunately I don't have a firewire cable with me right now that's necessary for my video camera to upload stuff (that's at home). When these videos get uploaded I'd love to get feedback on how I could improve my footwork since it might be pretty sloppy. My current improvements are mostly a product from others giving me tips.

My current weaknesses that need major improvement:
- Trill control
- Jacks (the ending of max 300 kills me for example)
- Footspeed



I really need to work on trill control, first FC


Lots of greatrushing in the trills. I'm pretty sure my current form for trills is sloppy.


This is definitely one of the easiest 10s ever on DDR.


Nice CBs, noticeable improvement in footspeed but I'm still pretty slow


Close, if I didn't bomb the ending jacks this would've been an AA probably


Most of the misses were from the minijacks, those are terrible. Otherwise, the streams in this file are mostly short-lived and I can nail most of them.


Noticeable improvement in stamina. My previous C on this was when I tired out way too fast.


Messed up some of the crossovers, haha. A on this is pretty nice, 200 even in short bursts is fast.


I'd have to say holy shit at this one. I couldn't even pass this before, and I managed to get an A in this session. My stamina has improved quite a bit. This file is really more of the stamina aspect since it's 145 bpm 16ths.


Barely passed, shoutouts to FrozenAngel91. I was breathing hard after this song, those jumps are tiring as fuck



Failed right before the slowdown at the end, this requires footspeed that I don't have just yet (I think my footwork might also be preventing me from doing fast patterns, not sure)


Indeed Pad Pack

I'd like to go to some files in Indeed Pad Pack. Essentially they have lots of movement like DDR files but without doublestepping.

I like the cleanliness in this score, the ending still gets me though. The second half is relentless, I still breath hard after finishing this haha.


First A, I didn't get wrecked as hard by the 24th short trill stream and crossover streams this time although I'm pretty sloppy on the crossovers


Damn, talk about a major improvement in greats. I'm still unstable on the jump sections with the jacks, but the streams are coming to me better now.


And then my best pass from this pack...


























































HOLY FUCK I DID IT YESSSS




Basically the ending is a decently long death run at 159 bpm, it's mostly trill transitions into measure-long candle streams. Pretty simple patterns, but considering my footspeed this is insane for me because long streams like this can't be rushed.

Sup guys. It's my first time posting here and I'm going to post some scores I got today. Btw, these are all PURE index scores.


Easy. First song of the day.


Not bad for 2nd song of the day.


Misses were SO gay. I think it's time to switch my setup.


Whatever I said above.


I messed up the ending pretty badly.


264 is cake now.


Wow this is NOT a 13. This feels more like a 15 to me.


410 16ths are hard on index. (it's not easy on spread either haha) It was a definite pass but my keyboard started being g@y and it failed around the footswitching part. I need a new keyboard...

Played again today, got some new passes and improvements.









First FC


Dammit, good PA though


Same here, pretty decent PA


Bad trill control, this has a generous amount of candle steps


Slight improvement, kinda pissed I missed the SDCB by one


YES

I've noticed a slight increase in footspeed, but I'm still slow. But it was enough to rush this and pass.


Same here, I missdumped the ending



Indeed Pad Pack

First FC


Great song for stamina and crossover management. It's 125 bpm 16ths but is relentless. The ending still gets me because of my low footspeed.


Pretty messy but I was able to get through the short trillstream in the middle with around half a lifebar. First pass


lol messy as fuck, I'm so inconsistent on the fast trills. Low footspeed also doesn't help with transitioning between the 16th bursts


Cleaner

I haven't been feeling that great lately, so forgive me if some (well, most) of these scores seem a bit off, especially the random amounts of misses on stuff like Moonearth and Xephon.





what's with the hands at the end that have no real reason to be there, im assuming this was by accident

Long story short, I forgot to screencap for TRANCEFORMer and TAKECORE OF YOURSELF, so all I have is the % score for each.
TRANCEFORMer: 97.85%
TAKECORE OF YOURSELF: 98.04%
I might just replay these at some point for a screencap, but w/e.


Pro-tip: Real BPM is 93-186


Seriously, what the shit bro. I had an easier time passing the Megamix earlier in the pack, WHICH IS THE BOSS SONG.

55/60
