 |
|
Most of you might know this and some may not, but with the new stepmania cvs, there is a mode that makes it 10x funner and more challenging. What is it? Quick mode. Select the song and hold enter, and it should be under the options. It makes an official dwi like a bemaniruler one, and isnt too much bullshit (except: LoM). So if you're like me and play lots of stepmania, this just may renew some interest in difficulty.

Actually there are plenty of new parts to Stepmania CVS in that section
Wide = Adds jumps
Big = Adds 8th note runs
Quick = turns 8th note runs into 16th note runs
Skippy = creates gallops out of quarters
and there is Boomerang, but you can figure it out for yourself what that does.

It's just an opinion. Personally I favor Wide over Quick any day.
Also, if you use the modifier Quick, your score gets ridiculously high (higher than an AAA value), with only getting like a B or so.

Yea, I knew what was happening. Wonder why they decided to cover it in all the other modifiers except that one. Possibly because it uses replacement and the other mods use addition (Wide also uses replacement but it doesn't affect the perfect count or score, just the combo)

eh, wide is ok. It doesn't really do it for me though.

True that, so save those scores by taking pics or something before you play quick on them. I also found the judge level a little more laxed on quick, when it comes to getting misses/boos, you can still get aa's as long as you score well on marvelouses.. as it should be.
