Names for patterns?

Here are all the patterns I know.
8 = up
4 = left
6 = right
2 = down
(check numpad)
42424242... = trill
42864286 or 68246824 = staircase steps
22222222... = jackhammer
428682428682 = sweep steps (my term for it, play chrono trigger in arcade section)
42862846824826 = candle steps

That's about it.

Your logic is retarded. Yes FFR is a simulator, but since it's on a keyboard, the same rules don't necessarily apply. Yes, you can in fact have a triple without having three legs believe it or not.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Names for patterns?

I'd like to see you prove that and get solid perfects and FC on DDR. .mpg format only, please.

P.S. Thank you for making your last post a little less harsh. I try hard not to be sarcastic/blunt, but it's just the way I am, I guess.

Like I said, this is FFR. Your keyboard will be used to play this game. I was referring to triples on FFR, not DDR. You don't have to follow rules for feet when you don't even use your feet.

Mindfields, FFR is somewhat a DDR simulator, but it is also partly it's own type of thing. Yes, there were Trips and Quads in FFR, but FFR isn't the rule setter. It can be done, it has been done, and it will continue to be done. Stepmania still does it. Just cause you don't see any of them doesn't mean they don't exist. A lot of the rules of Pad-dancing are thrown out. I don't see you saying that these songs are to fast, and so should not be on here, so don't say something doesn't exist until you have facts.

And I call 1-2-3-4-3-2-1-2-3-4 Staircases also.

And yes, I have tried trips on a pad, and they aren't pretty. That doesn't mean they can't be done, but I would say you owe fusi0n an apology, because if you had done your homework, you would know that the same rules dont apply.

*looks down at shoes*
Me sowwy...
I've never been able to play Stepmania because I don't have the right kind of video card.

I cant believe nobody mentioned triplets! 131, 242, 323, 121 etc... Most of the terms come from instrumental music. Anything that has a name in music like trill or triplet probably has a FFR counterpart.

EDIT: nvm, somebody mentioned them

Pump it up has triples and quads.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Names for patterns?

1-2-1-2-1-2 is a trill, and 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 is a jack. 12 23 34 13 14 and 34 (any two at the same time) are called jumps, 123 124 134 and 234 (any three at the same time) all plants, and 1234 (all four at the same time) is a quad. I don't know of any others.

fix'd
1-2-3-4 = roll
1-2-3-4-3-2-1 = no name
1-2-3-4-2-3-1-2-3-4 = advanced roll?
123 = plant not tril
1-2-1-2 = trill
1-2-3-1-2-3 = no name?
1-2-3-2-1-2-3-2 = no name?

[super-smashman]

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Names for patterns?

1-2-3-1-2-3 should be like short roll, or quick roll
1-2-3-2-1-2-3-2 should be short staircase, or maybe small staircase

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Names for patterns?

Here's my take on it:

1234- roll
1234321234321- staircase
12121212- trill
11111111- jack
121121121- running man
123423123423- candle method (I think)
12342314321324- double candle method (I think again)

If you ask me, iopg, you should've used the keypad terms (2,4,6,8) for clarity.

With 1234, its like the SM editor, yknow when you place an arrow down.

Look. A running man is the same as a tril.

Tril/Running man: 6464646464646464646464
Although I usually call all such cases "running man"s and I only call it a trill when it's done with one hand (ie 6868686868 for 4 finger players)

[super-smashman]

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Names for patterns?

umm, no. A running man is a series of 1211211211, a trill is 121212121. Not the same.
