Either I suck at PIU or I've reached a plateau early. (Details inside)

I can barely pass Turkey March Crazy and I always have to do the Beethoven Virus Pivot. The nearest machine is now 80 miles away, since the local mall's arcade closed.

But at least I can do this.

(By the way, that's Hate Hard)

Is there any way to get better without breaking my bank or my legs?

buy the home version

Some times people play other rhythm dance games and remember certain kind of dance pattern. I don’t know if you’re purely focusing on PIU, getting the home version and playing would help you. But soft dance pads wouldn’t be the same as the arcade, metal pads would help. Looking at step chart to get use to the unique patterns that this game has. higher songs have streams that throw off people.

Oh my! Is that a Premiere 2 or Prex 2? I haven't seen the Premiere 2 interface in ages!

I used to think songs like Will 'O the Wisp Crazy was impossible, but now I can pass it even AFTER doing Dignity Crazy... Anyway, buying the home versions for PC or PS2/Xbox is definitely recommended if you want to improve your skills, but practicing at the arcade will probably help as well, in addition to looking up some of the stepcharts.

Edit: oh crap, Avskull beat me to it. :|

It's either that, or it could be a stamina issue.

I'm sure most of the other members here could help you much more if you provided more information, like your major accomplishments (like your Hate Hard there), and your "breaking point" of stamina. Even from the likes of DDR and ITG would help things get figured out.

nice a premiere 2 =D i have good luck and i can play premiere 2 near my house =D maybe i play it today is the best machine ever and Will 'O The Wisp in division mode was so hard xD i never passed u_u

a home version will help but in a premiere 2 you can learn a lot when you beat the most harder songs in crazy mode try division mode and you will see =P

Tsuteto · 09-12-2006, 06:05 PM

I never DID exactly get division mode... of course, back when I played it, I was still a noob about it.

Plateaus are pretty inevitable. Just continue to build on your fundamentals and wait the plateau out.

MANIATICO24 · 09-13-2006, 04:10 AM
