Stepmania

[Diokatsu]

Stepmania thread! Post some cool scores!

Lovely Lovely Lovely A: ShowHide

Votum Stellarum A: ShowHide

Vertex Gamma AA (Not HST's >.>): ShowHide

Narcissus At Oasis A: ShowHide

Reversing Darts: ShowHide

All of these, with the exception of Vertex Gamma, a 13 footer, are 11 footers. That's my normal level and I like most of the songs at 11. I can play some songs with levels above me, like Plain Asia, but very few.

[Starrodkirby86]

My status quo is 12 footers, but that's how StepMania Online quotes it. It usually goes:
10, 11: AA, AAA
12: AA
13: AA, A
14: AA, A, B
15: A, B

That's my old record though. Keyboard sucks with StepMania so I suck in return. I have some good records but they're on the other computer.
So I'm posting what's good here:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Marvelous Attack on War Game.

[Diokatsu]

I suppose I could do better if I replayed these a lot. The only one that I replay much is Reversing Darts, for obvious reasons.

[Reno-s--Joker]

Hey I'm actually not that bad!!!

Warning, this is painful: ShowHide

This is a really fun game though... ^-^
(lol at 'Drunk'...)

[tSwitch]

play the Gannon 600 remix.

I used to have this game and a bunch of songs, but I lost it with my old laptop

[Diokatsu]

Link and/or simfile artist?

I haven't played Stepmania for ages, so I don't have the link.
That's the name of the song, it's on the website somewhere :/

it's not the best song, but the step map on Oni is awesome

[Diokatsu]

Alright...Found this

[Reno-s--Joker]

What's a really easy song? I'm currently having a lot of trouble not failing...
Makes me really appreciate Kirby's videos...

Anyways, I'm downloading that Gannon one.

[Starrodkirby86]

Usually the easy songs are the official DDR ones on Beginner. It's really hard since there's really nothing I can think of as StepMania has an extremely diverse set of music and artists...

So yeah...find the DDR Mixes and you're good.


http://stepmaniaug.com should have some.
EDIT: Dude, they removed their file links. =< It's now a forum site...T_T

There's always http://ddruk.com but you have to register and the downloads can be slow. I don't know what it's like now.

[Reno-s--Joker]

Thanks Kirby!
I found some here:

>.< Man this game is so addictive...

[Diokatsu]

Here are some packs

Otaku's Dream is very easy for beginners and is what I started out with. If you like anime than get it, but it's very annoying how the higher levels are of poor quality. Get the first mix.

Here are my first songs, made by our very own Starrodkirby86!

[Starrodkirby86]

Good link, but those are poor links in some senses. There's some good links to some exclusives there, but lots of songs I upload are here:

I don't know if they suck or not, but hey, it's fun.

[Diokatsu]

Most of his songs are good. Power Up was one of my favorites as was Labyrinth.

[Valcos]

i was pretty sick at SM back when i used to play....  . Even beat Kirby online!

I got my first A today... a HuUuGE feat. 

[tSwitch]

I should start playing this again, I used to be good :/

Fixed

I currently hold the record for most misses in a row, while seriously playing obviously 

[Reno-s--Joker]

@Dio: Obviously a really easy one. I think it was about butterflies and samurais. Lol, I want to see you verse Kirby.

@Valcos: I challenge that claim.

[Starrodkirby86]

@Dio: Obviously a really easy one. I think it was about butterflies and samurais. Lol, I want to see you verse Kirby.

Current keyboard style makes me as lame as you. But really, I'm not accustomed to a natural Spread method, but I reckon I can still beat good ol' Dio...

Sounds like Butterfly by SMILE.DK . Hope you got that A on Butterfly Heavy. :x

[Reno-s--Joker]

I changed the keys... I'm such a cheater

It probably is.
... not going to say anything about the next sentence.

Oh, he can beat me. My best on Vertex Beta is a C, which I guessing he can AA. I'm not up to his level, but I hope I can at least follow his records, like AA'ing B.B. Evolution. Of course, Star is no Thaor, either.

It's a perfectly legal move to change arrangement. There are a few main styles such as spread, one-handed and index. Spread has the most potential and is considered the "best". Index is faster and more accurate at lower levels, but cannot do hands or quads and is bad at the highest levels of play. One-handed looks cool but is the weakest playing method. You can potentially do hands with one handed though.

I can AA Vertex Beta. It's just a matter of Full Comboing it. It's just a Stamina exercise anyway.

Your mom's no Thaor either.

You can also go for some far-out method of keyboard play like NICE. :3

[tSwitch]

I use WASD with my left hand and IJKL with my right

[Diokatsu]

I use WASD with my left hand and IJKL with my right

Two handed method's like that are unorthodox, but effective somewhat. You actually do lose control and I can't see actually playing like that. I do it for fun, but the costs for me outweighs the benefits. I'd rather have my four strongest fingers aligned to hit notes than have my two weakest on ANY notes. Besides, Thaor plays two handed spread XD So I''ll copy him.

[Hellfire Dragon]

Spoiler: ShowHide

SM's been sitting in my downloads folder for ages, I finally installed it. I think I did pretty well for my first try though that's prob because it was an easy song xD

Stop worshipping Thaor. He'll appreciate you then. He's human like all of us. ;x

There is nothing else I really have to say about this matter or subject. I'm not on my other computer so I can't post any ultimate screenshots, my apologies.

I'll grab my video camera and record you a clip of me AA'ng a song somewhere

[Diokatsu]

Lol. I can AA songs too XD Thaor AAA'd St.Scarhand with standard spread. In fact, I don't know of any "pro" players who use two handed methods like that. It's interesting to say the least.

[Valcos]

PpppSsssHhhh!!!! I can do AAA songs on easy 

[tSwitch]

go suck Thaor's dick already, seriously.

not everyone cares about being 'pro' at anything.
some people play just to have fun.
I use my 'unorthadox' setup because it feels natural to me, and I can use my pointer, middle, and ring finger at the same time, on both hands, which makes it very easy to hit fast runs.

as far as losing control goes, the worse that happens is my slight dyslexia kicks in and I mistake pressing up for down, or vice versa.

edit: stop being such a Stop having fun guy

[Diokatsu]

If I know Thaor , I'd blow him. End of thread :V

Thaor A'ing Vertex Gamma
Thaor AAA'ing St.Scarhand
Thaor AAA'ing Fury of the Storm
Thaor AA'ing MSWGO
Thaor high A'ing Death Piano

Those are some links to his videos. You might see why I love him so much. In any case, I do agree with you, having fun is one of the driving reasons to play this game. With the increase of high quality songs because of the recent founding of ODI, I'm sure Stepmania won't die out. It's trying to break from DDR and maybe for good reason. Still, a nice session of Beatmania destroys my Stepmania high.

And I unfortunately, I suffer from hand twitches that absolutely ruin my game when playing any song over two minutes. >:\

see, people who are good like that are nice and all, but I have no drive to be that amazingly good at a game.  I'm perfectly happy with being just above average.

edit: and when I said I'd record something, I siad it to show that it's a good play style, rather than anything else

[Diokatsu]

I figured Namk. I'm sure you're quite good. It's a strange way to organize your hand, but the advantages are quite nice. Twice as fast as normal players.

my problem is slight lysdexia.
which causes my hands to sort of tie themselves up and hit the wrong arrows altogether :/

not so much misreading as the impulses from my brain not hitting right

[Starrodkirby86]

Yeah. This thread isn't a Thaorism thread. It's a voyeurism thread.

Anyway, I'm on this computer now, with StepMania screenshots. Have fun:

That Gaussian Blur is friggin amazing. I'd still like to see an FC, but whatever XD You beat my Reversing Darts, but I'd expect that too.

[Diokatsu]

Me playing Hardcore Overdoze

Oh look.

[Starrodkirby86]

It's great you're playing a song like this; Hardcore Overdoze is awesome.

Mmh, I'm not particularly sure what to say exactly considering you have two excuses laid in front of you. If they weren't there, I would say you did a pretty nice job, but you need to get your rebound back quickly after some streams (or tough notes)

[you told me to write a tl;dr >_> :V]

[Valcos]

! Im sick at SM.

Oh ya?

[Diokatsu]

Hey if you could play then where would I be.

Battle with Saruin from Romancing Saga Minstrel Song. It's a game everyone should have played.

Piano Forte by Oster Project

Does anyone even play this game anymore?

[tSwitch]

Haven't played in like a year, so I downloaded the Mungyodance 1/2/3 packs and played some

these songs are first play Full Combos (never played them before)

Sweet Dreams remix: ShowHide

I Wish: ShowHide

Heaven and Earth: ShowHide

Hide and Seek remix: ShowHide

This one was a so close to a first play FC
but we're talking the Punch Out! theme with some guy screaming
MIKE
TYSON'S PUNCHOUT
MIKE
TYSON'S PUNCHOUT
at the top of his lungs
I laughed and apparently got 2 goods that I didn't notice

Punch Out!: ShowHide

edit: also lol at all the Valcos claims without any substance.

[tSwitch]

These two are First Play FC's

Complecks Baby: ShowHide

Breakneck Bombing Run: ShowHide

This one was a FC, but it's like my 3rd play through it.
It had a lot of jumps that messed up my reading a couple times.

Godspeed: ShowHide

Depends. Stepmania has more songs I'd imagine.

Minute Waltz -- AA

A Little Magician -- AA

Go! Go! Maniac! -- AA

Comfort Betrays -- AA

[tSwitch]

->Which has better songs? Stepmania or O2mania?

I'd never heard of O2mania before you said that.
Looks like a simplified beatmania or something, totally different game from stepmania.

->Have you heard of O2jam? It's an offline version of that game... Instead of arrows, blocks rain down from top & it has 7 buttons... You can search it in Youtube...

[Diokatsu]

It's beatmania with less holds. I've played it and wasn't impressed. Just play solo Stepmania

[ShadowPierce]

->Personally, I find O2mania pretty challenging but I think I'll give Stepmania a try since it seems so popular here...

You'd figure that since I posted pretty much what the game was after I said "never heard of it before now" means that I looked it up.

It's a beatmania clone attempt.
I'm with dio on this one.
