    Xiao's Solo Beginner Pack

    (more like minipack but whatever)

    Cross-posted from ODI



    Straight from the readme:

    As a solo enthusiast, I felt it was a shame nobody played solo. This is likely a result of the extremely steep difficulty curve; there are very very few easier files to bell the curve for new (or inexperienced) players. I then set out to make a pack of a few files to act as a starting point for these new players, so they may grasp the basics of solo to start enjoying those harder files.

    8 files, 3 difficulties each. You can figure out how the difficulty ratings work or read the readme. Files don't exceed BCMP 11-12ish in difficulty.

    A Geisha's Dream // SMiLE.dk
    from DDR X : 3/4/11

    Chocolate Disco // Perfume
    1/4/10

    Coloris // SHE
    2/8/10

    Cross Time // Brandy
    from O2Jam : 2/8/11

    Lune Noir // Sonitus Vir feat. Emily Smith
    from Mungyodance 3 : 6/9/12

    Saber Wing // TAG
    from DDR X : 3/8/12

    Star Field // SADA (re-release)
    from Beatmania IIDX 9th Style : 4/7/10

    Trigger // sonic-coll.
    from DDR X : 5/7/11



    Try to enjoy.

      Interesting, might try it out. I know this has probably been asked multiple times but link to a guide about solo, how to do it (setting it up) and all that?

        Stargroup's guide is about as close to a solo guide as there is, right now.



        Note that some themes don't enable you to play solo; if you use the default or those that do though, it shouldn't be a problem. Other than that, three fingers on each hand is about all you need to know. Left hand takes L/UL/D, right takes U/UR/R.

        I also recommend using a bar (or at least non-arrow) skin. There are a few floating around, like Notebar, Revbar, Notebar++, Metalbar, etc.

            Getting this because I suck at solo and because Lune Noir :V

            Question though: did you use the normal version of Lune Noir or the faster EX version of it? lol

              Ohhh....very nice. This will be perfect to get started on solo myself. Been talking to some ppl about starting, but found myself a bit....lacking in the harder songs. D=

              And does the o2jam noteskins work like how you described?
              This is mah, sigg3h, fear it! =O

                Normal version; it's already short enough.

                If you mean you have an O2Jam bar noteskin for SM that you want to use, yeah it works. I don't recommend it in SM due to lack of colour notation.

                    Yeah, I guess that isn't exactly the best noteskin to use unless ya like to play flat. xDDD But sweet. =3

                          Hey, sick stuff. I was trying to get into solo like a week ago, and there really just aren't any good files to learn how to play solo with. I made one of my own, but that's pretty gay learning from your own files :P

                          I'm downloading this. Thanks.
                          Yeah I'll make a sig later.

                            Coloris is really fun and an amazing song too I'll probably make steps to it and jack your graphics lmfao

                              I just love this selection of music, even though it's really only a few songs. I especially love Cross Time. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the background. xDDD Well....mostly. ;D

                              The difficulty of these songs is just perfect, tho, for trying to get started. And they are actually harder than a lot of the DDR Solo steps made by Konami. rofl
