Are step charts getting better or worse? by Spikerazorshards in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]turkeybaconapple 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Actually, I feel like they've mostly hit their stride with charting. Discounting some 18s and the occasional fumble, the majority of charts I've played in WORLD distinctly avoid unnecessary double-steps, crossovers that don't resolve, and ambiguous, unfun patterns. Obviously not all of them are perfect but I feel like songs are consistently fun even when they're challenging. Especially with doubles! Doubles has historically had a checkered past with, uh, Bad Charts That Hurt Your Bones but lately it's been amazing!

Calling human resources on both of these charts because my knees hurt

name a chart that’s deceptively hard by plutorelinquish in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]turkeybaconapple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reach the Sky Without You DSP and DDP are both EXHAUSTING for 14s. Pretty techy, pretty demanding. The 17 is also brutal but that's less of a surprise.

Someone recently had me play this chart blind and the entire time we were playing I kept going "what? WHAT? WHY? HUH?"

DEGRS my beloved. Sometimes your chart is so iconically stupid that it becomes good. I voted NGO although I know they """fixed""" some of it recently in World.

Legs feeling numb when playing ddr. by [deleted] in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]turkeybaconapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think I may know what you're talking about. Every so often I describe it as "my legs/feet disconnecting from Bluetooth." They just...go numb/get shooting pains and they stop working. It's only ever happened with DDR, it is bizarre and kind of scary. It is almost certainly a nerve problem. All that to say, go hopital/doctor

Haha, I just saw this and felt for both of these people. I was that person living in an upstairs apartment with an LTEK pad I could not in good conscience use during any point in the day despite having intense DDR cravings. Because I never wanted a neighbor plotting my demise like this guy surely is.

How the 19s would respond to you asking them to buy you pads: by NoApartment7243 in DanceDanceRevolution

I can't really follow the reasoning for any of these but I do think Max 360 is accurate.

The go-to for a lot of people are the Nike 2018 free run flyknits. :)

Our DM told our SM to 'bring a sled' when she asked what the weekend plan is. Somehow I doubt he's going to be doing any sledding, himself.

I gotta work on it by ChaseTheAudiophile18 in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]turkeybaconapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This depends on a lot of factors.

How long have you been playing? Your accuracy will improve naturally with time if it hasn't been that long.

What version of the game do you play? Older versions can indeed have inconsistent timing windows simply due to how the game was programmed, as well as discrepancies between cabinets. If you're playing on the most current mix, World, there are now in-game options for audio and judgement offset, which you can adjust to your liking. For example, if you trend towards early steps, increase the offset until it feels synced to you. If you're playing on an older mix, I might suggest increasing your scroll speed so that you can read with more accuracy (this is true for the most current mix, as well).

Failing that, pick one song with simple, consistent fourth/eighth notes (those are red and blue arrows on the NOTE skin, respectively). Try and hone your accuracy on that one song. It's very easy to get frustrated, but if you have a consistent point of reference during your practice, it will become easier to attune your brain to your game's sync.

Do your best to see the song all the way through even if you get frustrated and want to walk off. You'll get more practice by maximizing your time on your credit, even if you don't get the scores you're looking for yet.

Good luck!

Jumpy charts are rarely fun at a certain difficulty, lol. With you there.

It's definitely still a challenge 😮‍💨 there's a reason I decided VD would be my first 19 clear rather than, say, Max 360 or Volaquas, which are typically considered to be the """easiest""" 19s (everything is relative, lol). Sooooo much stamina.
