Z-I-V Workout Challenge

Uh... I can't do the course because I don't have any songs unlocked. What should I do?

@hooky.....well....GET TO IT!

---

I'll just put it on ROULETTE for now...

but if I'm going to get past the 1st song I'll need duct tape.

Edit: so I made it to SO DEEP with stage 5, 7, and 8 set to RANDOM. I honestly thought I would fail one of the 8's before I got to stage 5 or SO DEEP.

Well, my brother's coming home soon, so I can't play DDR for now.

I haven't tried this yet because I may have an infection or something, so I might have to forfeit this challenge

I do have a question, though -- what passing level was this primarily targeted/intended for?

---

I really wish I could attempt this, because I think I could rock the hell out of most of it right now, but I'm in a 2nd story apartment, and simply WALKING across my living room makes noise for the neighbors downstairs.

I'll most certainly keep this course(s) in mind the next time I have a chance to play on a pad, though. I'm considering maybe trying this at a small-time anime convention I might be going to, but I imagine I'd have to start pretty late into the night if I'm going to be hogging their DDR setup for a full hour.

DDRMAX2 songs unlock purely through play. So put it on event, and wear out RANDOM on LIGHT or STANDARD. Should take you a long evening to get everything unlocked. If you get tired, switch to a controller and keep going. Should your hands get tired go back to the pad.

You'll have legs and thumbs of steel!

Can I just skip to Week 4 now and do all 40 songs?

I don't look forward to playing the same songs OVER and OVER again, I normally play 40 RANDOM songs back-to-back for my workout routine (and I've passed it once without a Full Combo).

Holy crap, Howie's alive. Hey Howie, I PCS'd to Kunsan =V

My pad will be arriving on the 8th, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have to take part in this.

---

Holy crap, you told me about it in chat a month ago. >=V

---

I did, huh? Haven't seen you in chat for awhile =P

---

can I catch up this challenge in about June or July? or can we make a new one then?
Because it make no sense to me doing this workout challenge without being able to practice every day...(my fucking neighbors but I`ll move to a new apartment soon, there I`ll be able to play as much as I want and then I can di the challenge.
mh....


So that means that I`m not at my physical limit now? Thats good!

I warmed up with Go With The Ocean course from ITG Rebirth and I'm going to do the Week 4 course now.
I fixed 4 titles that were different in the .CRS vs. what I had in my collection, they were all space errors like Jam & Marmalade, the .CRS file has Jam&Marmalade, and anything that is a mix like DIVE (Deeper ...) in the .CRS file there wasn't a space. So hopefully I'll actually see all 40 songs and I'll take a screen cap.

Is 9564 single steps correct for the Week 4 course?

---

Ugh. -_-
I haven't had anytime to do this...

---

Well that will not be for a while because I cannot bracket or heel-toe whatsoever to save my butt on the hard songs. I was able to pass Healing-D-Vision without it anyway.

I won't be able to play the course again until the week 2 stuff is added. My parents put a huge table in front of the living room TV and it won't be moved until Tuesday.

I can't bracket or heel-toe either although sometimes I hit two arrows at once with my big feet (size 16 US). I've never practiced bracketing so it never happens on accident.

Anyways passed it, not sure if I did all 40 but I couldn't find any mistakes, I had like a 99.28% with a few pad hiccups (missed one arrow while adjusting an arrow, with my wire-tie instead of screws I can adjust an arrow in 5-10 seconds now) doing that fixed my pads so there were fewer pad errors until Break Down, I had 3 misses on the crossovers that were my fault, I had at least one miss due to hitting two arrows with one foot. Overall not bad, I like how after the 9's the next songs were 5-6's, that should make it easy for everyone. I got a screen shot and will post it tomorrow, if I do this again I'm going to boost the speed to 1.2x or 1.3x since there weren't any difficult songs.

Name : Kyzentun
Starting weight : 160 lbs
Play level : 10 (I can practically always do singles 10s no bar, and doubles 10s no bar on a good day0

Format being used for the challenge (PS2/SM) : SM-SSC
What is your “main” dancing game? (DDR/Pump/ITG) : Customs. DDR sharts tend to irritate me with double stepping.
How many hours of do you normally play a week? 1-2
Soft Mat or Hard Mat? : Cobalt flux
Do you normally Bracket when you play? : I play on my toes unless I'm really tired or sick of doing stupid pointless jumps. I'll play this entirely on my toes.
Do you play with a bar? : Strictly no bar at home.
How many of the 40 songs do you expect to pass after 4 weeks? All. I'll pass all 40 tomorrow.

Singles will be a walk in the park.
On doubles, I'm only worried about Afronova and Tsugaru, since I never bothered to no bar Afronova DH, and only no barred Tsugaru once. I've done HVAM DH though, so I should be able to handle those two. Only other problem is the chance of running into one of those random nonsense charts that always put me off of playing Konami charts.

If I get higher than 90%, I'll switch to just playing the group on Endless and seeing how many stages in I can get.

Cleaning my pads tonight, so I should get no pad crap when I play.

The banners should have the course number in them, to make it easier to tell which course a screenshot is from.

Oh look, I passed it on singles.


95.66%
I could have done better, but it's been a long time since I played that many poorly written sharts.

People playing on Stepmania may need to change the lines in the course that refer to "Do It Right (80's Electro Mix):Hard" and "CELEBRATE NITE(EURO TRANCE STYLE):Hard" to refer to the Challenge charts. I got "Days Go By" and "Love at First Sight" twice in a row because of that.

My right ankle does not feel right, so I'll leave doubles for another day.

---

Awesome job. I wish I could do this.

---

Thanks for the heads-up on the Challenge typo. I'll try and post updated course files in time for tomorrow.

Well, I didn't get to try this in time, so consider this my official forfeit. I would like to try this on my own once I recover, though.

I did finally find some cable ties for my CobaltFlux

---

Oh, for hellrazor, you should have 11077 single steps for the singles version of the Week 4 course. That's how many it had when I played through it after fixing the challenge only songs.
