The idea came from the old BMS thread on beginning/techniques. If I shouldn't post this because it already has been or for whatever reason, mods, feel free to delete.

Also I'll write as much as I can, but because I'm barely hitting the 30s, I think players with much more experience (Kaze, Random, Arctures, et cetera) would be best in providing tips on this thread.

My first tip:
I'd suggest to NOT START OUT IN 5 BUTTON MODE. You'll thank yourself later, because even if you do start out in 5 button mode you'll have to relearn completely when you get to 9 button mode. Start off, obviously, with easy songs and get a feel for where the buttons are. If you have Pop'n 12 you can start out in Enjoy Mode(watered down versions of some 9-line songs). Otherwise I'd suggest anything around 10-11 or lower if possible.

Tip 2:
Memorize where the buttons are, and don't look down at the controller once you do. This is probably self-explanatory, but I just thought I would emphasize this.

Tip 3:
HI-SPEED IS YOUR FRIEND. If you aren't able to read at high speeds, I would advise you get used to doing so as soon as you can. Spacing out the notes in ANY bemani game will more than likely make your job easier-- this holds very very true for Pop'n.

Tip 4:
Get used to moving your hands. Fast. Really fast. I mean by the time you get to about 27 or 28, your hands should be flying. Or maybe that's how I percieve mine.

Ok, I don't want to postwhore with more of my (probably useless) tips so I'll leave the rest of the work to the more experienced players. Post your problems or walls here too, I guess.
