So I made a huge transition to ITG.

Right now I am at a 9/10 level on DDR and I am deciding to make the transition to ITG. I recently bought a copy of ITGPC. If you need an idea of skill, I can AA most 9's and I have A/B's on most 10's aside from PSMO and FELM.

I also have played on a hard foam pad for pretty much all my life and I am making a transition to a metal pad.

So I need some advice here, what would you all recommend me doing? I hooked up my pad and I was scoring 70-80% on 8's and 65-75% on 9's. What all would you recommend that I do in order to get up to speed with ITG.

Play more 8's and 9's and try some of the Expert 9's. The ones from ITG 2 are pretty good too (Birdie and Psalm Pilot come to mind) fairly easy 9's that are quite fun.

I don't really recommend ITGPC, if you have a ps2, and if you can find ITGPS2, i highly suggest getting that.

yea, pads hooked up to itgPC have lag, so your scores are lower than they should be. I tend to get scores 5% higher at the arcade then on ITG2PC (same song). But the difference can range from 3% to 10%!

ITG for the PS2 is DEFINATELY the way to go, but it is always good to have ITG for PC (for edits and custom songs and stuff).

I know that there was a sync function in order to fix the possible lag. I also heard that ITG2 for PS2 was just a huge rumor. Is this true or not?

ITG2PS2 was actually really close to production, but then konami came along and now i doubt we will ever play it =/

You can still download the beta torrent of the game, but i don't think you want to go through the hassle of burning games and modded ps2's etc.

ITG2 won't come to PS2, but ITG 1 is out. It's better than ITGPC for sync and gameplay (convenience I suppose). If you have a modded PS2, you can also play modified versions of ITG that have ITG2/PC songs as well.

You should just get Stepmania and download ITG songs

Stepmania is largely inconvenient, and ITGPC has a better system.

Also, I've never seen a good ITG pack.

Unless there's some new pack for ITG2 I'm unaware of, after today, I'm all too painfully aware of why Roxor didn't want those files distributed. Most of them are AWFUL sync-wise. Cryosleep, in particular, seems like it had no effort put forth into syncing it at all.

That said, I actually like ITGPC. Is it even available anymore though?

Well, did that pack have the official banners/backgrounds/stepcharts novice-expert? if it did, chances are it's just your global offset...

Emptyeye · Trick Member Joined: 28 Jan 2006 Location: Waterbury, CT

It did not. It was one of the ITG2 Beta packs, I think. That was all I could find as of, um, not long ago, though better stuff may be out there now (Not that I care at this point, owning ITGPC and all).

Well whatever works for you, but if you ever need official ITG AC packs, just PM me or whatever.

Play either game as frequently as you can in an arcade.
