I don't know if someone mentioned it, but if you play doubles, there's something that took me by surprise.

Hands on doubles also include knees. That's 6 arrows at the same time.
It's pretty rare, but it's there. There's one in the middle of Bend Your Mind expert where you have both down arrows on hold, then 2nd Player's left(Hold), then 1st player's right(hold), then both up arrows while holding the previous 4 arrows.

...or you can use your knees because then it forces you to bow to the screen which is, as I may say, one of the most creative gimmicks of all stepcharts. I personally use my knees and bow.

Knees, as mentioned, show up in Bend Your Mind DH, Bend Your Mind DX, and Disconnected Disco DX. As of right now, I'm fairly certain they're only in those three charts, other than edits.

And yes, it's so much easier to use your hands twice >_>... I find I always drop the holds my feet are on if I try to use my knees.

i dont know if this was asked already, but on DDR i can pass the songs on my tip toes, including 10 footers. is it possible to pass 11 footers and above on ITG on tip toes?..or ..no...?

Once ITG3 comes out, you should probably change the explanation on freeze rolls just a little bit. They are starting to use 1 footed rolls

. Just look at Esperanza expert

I say this again, they are not freeze rolls. There's no freezing involved; they're just rolls.

Also, I wouldn't trust those videos unless they're from a machine which you can see. They could be edits. They could also be poorly done edits.

Lol yeah, I just played ITG the first tiem yesterday. It was fun! Loved the songs. Went psychotic on rolls and wasted too much energy. Hit just about every mine. Finally saw someone pass Destiny in real life (although he kinda botched the first part, still impressive).
Accomplishments.
First Songs:
Bang- Hard did awful
Delirium- Medium (hard scared me) great got an S
Energizer -Medium some guys there told me to do it thinking I would fail (i think at least), but I knew the song because i play stepmania so the slow part was actually very easy. The faster parts with the triplets or whatever they are were pretty fun too!
It's official. I like ITG probably more than DDR. Controls made sense and I could actually hold a freeze (I literally weigh 100 lbs.) and on DDR it wouldn't register. The people there were very helpful and i ended up failing/playing a couple songs with them. Watched someone play a song on edit (a 15 footer by Duk Amok i think) and they failed hXc on that, but it was cool to watch. That and I liked the songs quite a bit. I never really played much of the lyric songs. The highest i ever got in ddr was C on Paranois Survivor. I thought I'd hate hallway, but I never really noticed it. Thanks a lot you're guide did help!

yeah that was exactly what it was. thanks!
I mean if I tried it on stepmania i could probably FC it in about two tries, but with feet I was just like wtf?

I'm going to be trying ITG2 this week sometime. I think I will play mostly on Hard and see if I can get some scores for GrooveTrack. I don't think I'm ready for Expert yet.

I've watched a lot of ITG videos and I love all the music I've heard, so I'm excited for a chance to finally play the game. I'm just going to have to write my scores down though since I don't have a USB drive.
