ITG/DDR Scores

Re: ITG/DDR Scores

Why don't you use an usb drive to take screens? Unfortunately, i can't tell much cause i don't know these songs and i hate dance dance revolution with a passion - thankfully nearly every machine has been converted to ITG2 here in italy.

Anyway, got these two earlier today so i'm gonna add them to the spamfest.

I don't post because I'm not good =(

Kibblre - That's no reason not to post! If you play, you can use it as a way of measuring progress, and getting tips from other people

Mollocephalus - Oh you italians. Italy is home to the best european stamina and speed players! I wish we had as many ITG2 machines as you, and we here in the UK would have kept up

Also, how is your Above the Winter Moonlight score almost as good as your Delirium score? XD

Re: ITG/DDR Scores

Well, i think i was in a good shape when i did that Above the winter moonlight, while Delirium is particularly irksome to me cause it has turns and i'm still not very good at that... only played ITG seriously for ~1 year now

I've been attempting skor's dokudenpa a lot too, still failing at half of the last stream Q_Q

Re: ITG/DDR Scores

Fine, I'll post.

I really like this song and the chart. I'm hoping for the FC soon.


This was a pretty stamina testing file for me, seeing as I don't have any.


Same with this one, had to push myself to finish. Wish I would've gotten the 90% though.


First 12! (before I got my USB)


Second 12. I think this one was harder than Melting Nails.

Haha dokudenpa, I love that song to death and it's a pass goal for me too, but boy I can't even make it a couple of measures into the start of the long stream lmao. The fact that you make it that far is incredible. Still I thought that delirium was good, what do I know though.


Also @kibblre:

HOLY SHIT TEKNOPATHETIC AND TWIN DRAGONS. WHERE DO I GET THESE CHARTS, WHEEEERRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

You have great accuracy on the 11's btw, and nice job passing 12's. I'm just starting to be able to pass them myself, you might be on the same level as me. What can you get on quasar?

Re: ITG/DDR Scores

I got 98% on twin dragons on a sightread
The chart is annoying though, it's candlestreams the entire time.

Idk, those were on the machine when I first started playing on it. I have poor accuracy on Break Up because it's a pretty long song for me and I just got really lazy near the end, but Tekno is shorter so I can hit more accurately. I haven't played Quasar, it's not on my machine. If you give me a link I can try it out.

EDIT: Teknopathetic's in this pack: http://r21freak.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=20169. I also forgot to say that I recently bought new shoes exclusively for ITG. I played Pheonix before the new shoes and failed it, but I got it the next week when I got the new shoes. I account it to these new ones weighing half of what my old shoes were.

Quasar is by eggman, and it was I guess originally intended to be a keyboard file, so it's in the original keyboard megapack, which you can find on icy's simfile pack thread but I'll also link it here.

http://izzysm.mine.nu/Other%20SongPacks/Keyboard%20Mega%20Pack.rar

It might also be in the second keyboard pack (though I'm pretty sure it's in one) so give that a check too if it's not in there.


Anyways, I went to a new ITG machine today and found a bunch of stuff, including teknopathetic (yay ) and probably twin dragons too but I didn't end up looking for that. It looks like I was right though about us being close in skill level cause I got this on my second try on it



Which is really really close to yours, only slightly ahead actually. I then decided to whore it for a while to learn the stops and weird patterns and got this...



which I'm really proud of, and I think you can match. try for it next time you play, and get a quasar score too .

Anyways, one more notable thing from today



FIRST 13 PASS!!!!!

I know it's really probably a 12, but I don't even care. So happy about this. That last stream was brutal, surprised I came out of it with such a good score.

and lastly, here's a completely random score I took a picture of



Edit: I did not know shoes made such a difference in your playing ability, dang. Guess I should look into that sometime

Encoder is a solid 13 imo haha. That last stream is relentless lmao, nice job on your first 13.

Shoes are a crucial aspect in playing ITG some even play just with their socks on, but if you don't have a dedicab or a ddr with modified flat screws in the arrows corners, you may end up hurting yourself. Besides, if you're not going for long sessions undisturbed, it may be a bit annoying to go around barefoot

Let me give you (and everyone else) some suggestions from my own personal experience and from what i've heard around.

Cheap and effective:

Rather expensive, considered to be the best:

Experimental????? (also italian forum sry):

Re: ITG/DDR Scores

I have a $60 pair of pumas that I leave sitting on my fridge whenever Im not playing ITG. My regular shoes cost like $15.

Re: ITG/DDR Scores

Frozen, I can't just take a one of those files and stick it on my drive and it'll work, right? Don't I have to make sure the music is in .ogg format and some other random stuff?

I also think you're better than me. It seems you have more stamina than me. I just passed those 12s and I barely had enough stamina to do so.

[dragonmegaXX]

Re: ITG/DDR Scores

Went to flashes for the morning...

Power going out mid-song, and consufing the **** out of me-

Power came back on, 96.92 Gravity blast (12)

Gravity Blast(14) Almost passed, I was really tired.

Stay Crunchy 95.8% Feat. Flash

Level 1-1 good effort. 197bpm, extended streams. I did well till the middle.

Quasi-Tristar Baby (Great chart) Feat. Flash

Well yeah it seems my stamina might be better than yours (though not that much better), but my accuracy is really close I think. Though I am skillboosting right now cause of how much I'm playing lately, so if you played more you might catch up and pass me real quick.

Anyways I don't know much about porting songs to itg since I've never done it, you may want to ask dragon about that, but I went and looked up how to do it since I wanna try it anyways and so I can link you to it.

So here you go.

Also make sure you get the right usb to port it, I've heard ITG doesn't recognize some of them. There was a thread for it a while ago that had some recommendations, hold on let's see if I can find it.

Oh you started it lol, welp anyways check out that thread you started and make sure you get a working usb.

Edit: and you already got one, nevermind >.<

Went to flashes for the morning...

Nice job finally starring gravity blast! gotta be hard to keep FA'ing with such a stamina draining song, too bad about what looked like a pad miss, you could of had a much higher percent. Though I could swear your PA was better on your last run o.o

And also holy crap that gravity blast 14, that looked ridiculous. I'm suprised you didn't just quit out from running out of breath or nearly fainting or something lol, that looked way way way too draining. I bet you can pass that if you warmed up a little too, good luck with it.

Super post about shoes

Okay then, will definetly look into this when I get money. I just play in tennis shoes right now and that works for me mostly, but maybe this will help me not get so many misses or random greats sometimes.
