    Why Stepmania?

    I started playing one handed back when I started for about a year and a half and all I did was whore FFR until I reached top 100. Then I began to realize the game was not about how many points you get but by the number of AAAs a person held. At that time 1 year passed and I only had a measly count of 70. I tried and tried and tried to PA the songs but I couldnt even get an 8 down? so I quit the game for another year and played MMORPG's for a while then came back. Later on I found out about spread then switched and noticed how much easier it was to PA 9's and 10's but that still wasn't enough, I wanted more. 6 months and 300 AAAs later I got introduced to Stepmania... it was then that rithum gaming had completely opened my eyes to a whole new level. At first it seemed impossible to even get a FC on beginner type songs but once you start getting used to the judge system, levels that seemed intricately diffcult on FFR played much easier. I never thought there would be an ordeal of difference between the two. I was pessimistic about stepmania because I always claimed FFR the smarter choice but The truth is, there are many ways you can get better playing this arrow game and the best way to start is by playing stepmania.

    Some of the greatest players that ever lived took this same route.

    The Hall of Famer Shashakiro
    The Genius MrRubix
    The Cunning TC_Halogen
    Speed Demon EAGAMES
    The Unknown Legend Leonid
    The Beast AOD_ELEMENT
    Laggy-
    Sprite-
    samurai7694
    i love you (Rebound)


    This list could go on and on and on...

    The reason I am doing this is to help you widely experience this game on a cornucopia of variations. There are many things you can do on Stepmania that you would not be able to do here on FFR!

    Change Judge levels - An accuracy based feature which will let you choose timing of your own free will that ranges from easiest to hardest. (1-Justice)

    Adjust cMods - You can set your own speed.

    Edit/Sync Songs - Make your own stepfiles.

    Noteskins, Scrolls, Acceleration, Effects, Appearance, Turns, Inserts, Holds, Mines, Perspective, Characters, Assist Tick, Rates, etc...


    You get the idea. I've been asked countless times on ways and secrets to getting better at this game and I've always given the same answer. Here's your skill boost: www.stepmania.com

    No, I am not fishing for a sticky.

    Further questions please feel free to contact me @ oxxmysteryxx on aim or just send me a pm and I will be more than happy to assist you.

          As a rhythm gamer you should learn how to spell rhythm.

            I like this thread actually lol
            This could really help out a lot of people with Stepmania. Guru, you should add on popular packs or the basic packs for people to get while starting out. Also, you could include packs for beginners & stuff.

              The amount of colored and bolded text in your post begs to differ.

                    Honestly, for FMO's you might wanna get ODI packs instead. Considering HSMP and HS packs are more dumpy and are for high scaled members. Considering that, I think you should mention something about pad packs to build fundamentals. Since some members may need extra help on say, stream, the Touhou Pad Pack would be a perfect example of what to play. Just saying. You don't need to heed my advice.

                        Quigly, are you hell bent on poking fun at Guru? Really?

                        Anyway, I agree with Guru's OP. He tried to get me into SM and I was like, uhm, no. But the more I tried it, the more time I put into it of constant playing, I realized the effects of it. It greatly helped me improve FFR. I went from having 300 AAA's about 3 months ago to having damn near 550 now. My average rank went from 195 to 37.6 now. I have greatly improved. I would tell everyone to head Guru's word here if they do want to get better. I'm not saying SM is the ONLY way to get better, as playing FFR consistently will as well help, but it IS a huge factor as well. Not only is it beneficial for your gameplays, but it's also a fun experience.

                          Yeah, exactly what krunky said. Also, Guru, you should add the exact steps to get into SMO because that's always fun & a lot of people don't know how to do it. Also, if you'd like Guru I could give you the Mac link for 3.95 for SMO so you can put that up on the OP for the Mac users.
