The "How do you do the steps for ____ Topic"

['Ivan]

In the spirit of scotty's exact same thread for DDR players in the DDR Gameplay forum, and seeing I did a search already and this kind of topic doesn't seem to exist yet for ITG, here we go.

The point is the same as the other one-- post here if you need help with playing a specific In The Groove song.

I've got one.

Beginning and maybe a little bit of the middle for Tell Expert. I'm pretty sure we call them step jumps (see A Oni for examples), but I can NOT freakin' tell how to do them this fast. Help anyone?

you can "cheat" the jumps (just sorta roll your feet really fast), but the best way to actually do them is to just practice doing the step-step-jump off the pad and speeding your feet up while you try to land the jump with both feet simultaneously.

as a side note, there is a bug I've found in SM where if you hit one step of a jump roughly a third of a beat early, and then hit the other step of the jump dead on, you'll still get a fantastic. I found this while playing "we know what to do" in SM, full comboing it without actually hitting two keys simultaneously. it may just be on my computer, but many of SM's bugs have found their way onto ITG, so you might want to experiment with that.

Its been like that since Extreme (Thats as far back as I go in my DDR History) But... about those steps... its really about BS'ing them... I usually end up doing.. Step Jump jump. or... Step step step step step, as if the last three were 32nds.. and it gives me Excellents.

The jump window in ITG is pretty big, so you can cheat them fairly easily. The same also applies for triples and quads..some players do a fast 32nd note run because the grade you get on that step is determined by when you hit the LAST note of it.

Well, I tried it (the 32nd run for the step jumps on Tell Ex), and it works just as you said. Kills my PA (shouldn't it be called FA now? ) though.

Can anyone here do those properly, however?

I have noticed when i'm beggining to get tired from playing Tell I have been able to do some of Tell's jumps without jumping but by lifting and reapplying pressure.

Man those great windows are huge. And anyways i'm 45 kgs so why not use it as an advantage (freezes kill me though sometimes ).

I'm gonna go try this rolling trick now

How do you do the steps for Lemmings on the Run, Double, Medium level 6?

It seems I end up double stepping or even toe-tapping during several of the patterns during both of the chorus sections ("we are the lemmings on the run...")

Am I missing something, like hop-steps or reverse crossovers? I'm already playing at 1.5x for improved readability.

[Rancidfish]

Well, I haven't seen the chart, but if complex turning is throwing you off, I'd put it on 1x so you can read farther ahead to see what's coming up.

the freezes on disconnected mobius (where you practically have to hold three arrows at once) make me cry. Are you supposed to use hands or just do some awkward sliding?

oh, I confirmed the jump exploit today (just in case there is any confusion). I pulled a 98% easily on land of the rising sun hard without ever doing a single "jump". yeah...
