I wasn't trying to "up" my difficulty, I wanted to try an 11 for fun, and I passed. I didn't BS the song either, I combo'd the first ~300 notes, and by the end I was so tired I was about to fail, if thats what you call bs. The tired thing may be right, in about 20 minutes I'm gonna go back down and play, try some more 10's. I only ran 4 miles today [but I've gotta run 4 more later tonight frown.gif] so I probably won't be as tired.

Gimme a break. You're really stretching it here. Xuxa is easier than july in every aspect.

Looking at the step chart, I have to agree with you. For some inexplicable reason, I score quite a bit better and more consistently on July (81.xx% Xuxa, 85.xx% July). I have no idea why. Maybe it's because I just like the song a lot better.

Try to do ''Utopia" from smiley on expert. It's a really cool song and it's a little hard since it's a 11 footer. So try that

If he can pass July, he can almost definitely pass Utopia.

And keep your eyes open for "bag" it's a hard 10 that you can whore from.

Bag is most definitely not a hard 10 footer. It is almost universally agreed to be a 9 when placed at its correct bpm (130).

And if you really really really want some intense experience do "vertex" 4x,overhead that's like the hardest song for me so far riiight.gif

Yeah, I find reading arrows at 2448 bpm difficult too.

wow, my FA really sucks with a bar..
I passed all the 10's except oasis and tension. I got fewer than 5 missing on all of them, sad thing is only one was 70%+. Did this happen to you guys when you first started to bar? Also I can't even seem to crossover, probably making me double step and mess up my timing. Anyway I got a 78.xx on Xuxa, and a 66.xx on july this time. Utopia I can't read the last "death stream" as I would call it, charlene and the other mine song own me.. I wish there was an ITG2 closer than 2 hours away from me, lol. I'm horrible at jumps on the bar as well =\.

un-truth


You've already proven your reading comprehension is too low to understand much of anything, but for the sake of others, no one cares if you can BS something with a really low score. People whose opinions actually matter would rather see you *** an 8 than get like 60-70% on an 11+ or something.

Why does everyone find Mythology so hard? So it has 16ths in tricky patterns... big deal. Its not horrible. I have an 85 on it, which is very good for an 11 at the level I'm at. I find it easier than Utopia to consistently pass, and even easier than Disconnected Hyper to a degree.

True. And thats why I should really try to get my FA down, since no one cares about my crappy 20-great FCs.

Passing hard songs helps me FA easier songs to some extant, though. For example, since I've passed songs like Pandemonium Hard and Delirium, songs with slower streams have been a lot easier for me to not only full combo but to FA as well.

I know and agree with what you're saying though, obviously not even breaking 50% on a song is nothing to be proud of, and it's definitely a lot more rewarding to pull off some ***'s than to say you BS'd something biggrin.gif

A better method to improve your stamina is to just FA a song until you're too tired and start getting a lot of excellents and such, and then just stop. Then, when you're back to around 100%, do it over again. Or you could do some windsprints or something.

It's a 9. The top on the 9's on Extreme I'd say, but a 9 nonetheless.

I know it was sarcasm. Hence the sarc.gif

Then I stated that its a 9 countering the person that said it should be a 10.

I got an 89.xx% on Energizer Hard the first time I ever played it.

Then I failed Monolith on hard.

It happens.

You're not giving it enough credit. It's easily a 15! It's up there with DukAmok's No 1 Nation and Delirium edits.

To stay on topic,

QFT. Mythology's runs are pretty much longer versions of the runs in On a Day Like Today (to me, at least).

I had similar trouble with passing some 11's before I could pass most 10's.

It may depend on what steps you are most comfortable with at this stage in your gameplay. When you play songs you know you can pass, pay attention to the parts that you feel are easy and you have no problem full comboing, then pay attention to the parts you screw up on. Chances are those are the same type of steps in the song you can't pass that are giving you trouble. Work on perfecting those type of steps in songs you can pass, then move on when you are ready. Hopefully this helps. It is working for me so far.
