About speeds...

[Takisho]

Ok I'm a little confused over the C200 and C400 speeds. Let's say you have a song that's 150bpm. If you put it on 2x its 300, 3x its 450, 5x its 600, etc. So if you put it on C200 or C400, what would it be then?

[Moogy]

200 and 400. The Cs also remove BPM changes.

[Reach]

2x does not mean 300 :O

it simply means it scrolls twice as fast plz.

don't get bpm and scroll rate mixed up.

bpm is how fast the song is.

scroll is how fast the arrows cross the screen.

and yes....ur supost to use the C's when there are bpm changes.

[Takisho]

Hmm...ok. So would using the C200 and 400 be kind of cheating? Because if a song's speed doubles in the middle or something the C would stop it and that would make it easier I think...Because I have this one song...something Cleaning Tune or whatever...but it goes like super fast about 3/4 of the way through so if the C stopped it that would make it easier I think...

Ok one more set of ...'s

it just makes it easier to READ as the arrows will scroll at the same speed the whole song.

the APM (arrows per minute) is still the same when using c200/400 though.

So you're hitting the keys at the exact same speed.

[Takisho]

So...would that make the arrows all squished together or something?

[altairian]

it just makes the arrows always move at the same speed, no matter what the bpm of the song is. it doesn't change anything else. If the BPM of the song is high, then the arrows will be closer together than if the BPM of the song is low.
I would suggest only using C400 (C200 is crap...you want to learn to read higher BPMs if you want to improve... 400bpm is slow to any half decent player) if there's a song where beat changes or stops are giving you a lot of trouble. Once you get comfortable with a song it's a good idea to try to learn to do songs with stops like are in delirium without using the C mods, because once you can hit those properly it feels so cool hitting them perfectly

My SM has all three C's. o_O
