@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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
