The Official "How to do _____'s steps?" thread

[Zanate]

ok i started dancing on nightmare..really fun and challenging difficulty..i can do nowdays footprint and whats going on..but i wanna ask you guys some cool "easy" songs to start with..because i was playing yesterday and damn..there are some nightmare lvl 13 songs like footprint but theyre more hard than a summer donkey...so any cool tips and songs to strat please??

wow long time i dont make a thread lol

Practice half double charts. Knowing how to cross over between pads is probably the most important thing.

Definitely master Freestyle first. If you can ace Beethoven Virus and Winter freestyle, that's a great start.

Try What's Going On a lot, also easier NMs like Deja Vu(sort of) and stuff, which is great for mastering crossovers too.

[Zanate]

yeah crossover are cool..i tried last time canon d in freestyle..but there is a part of going from left right-left right which is really a pain in the butt...and wow bethoveen virus is kinda hard in freestyle..but ill try it

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM


Dude, Canon D FS hard? o_o No, seriously, it's not that hard.

If you wanna get used to NM mode, try FS charts that will literally force you to run through all the dance floor:

-Turkey March.
-Winter.
-Moonlight.
-Final Audition Episode 1.
-Csikos Post.
-*MYSONG* (yeah, I'm serious).

I'd also suggest Mr. Larpus, Will'o the Wisp and Vook, but I'm afraid they're as stupid as a really hard NM chart

Here are some decently easy Nightmare charts that are probably good to start out with:

Valenti
Up Up
Oh My
Rolling Christmas

They more or less contain relatively basic crossovers and constient difficulty (although Rolling Christmas's ending might be kind of tough). With Valenti, just pay attention to the note flow since it can be kind of easy to get lost if you don't pay attention. Just work your way up!

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Valenti NM = Valenti CZ spread through the entire dance floor.

When you feel ready, try the following tunes:

-Empire of the Sun.
-Come to Me.
-Perfect.

Perfect songs to practice your NM crossovers :3

Watch Out is another good one. It even has a nice staircase to practice.

[MANIATICO24]

and also can practice with moonligth in freestyle

lets see
mr larpus en freestyle too
DR M in freestyle
whats going on in NM very easy
final audition 1 fs

but first play in freestyle and pass all the freestyle go to the nigthmare starting from the lowest level like shake you ram ram level 10 i guess but really confuse too ^^
keep practice ok good look with you NM

[Zanate]

thx for the tip guys..fs songs like vook are really hard, but ill make it..i tried some easy songs like monkey finger..and tbh, i was expecting much more since its level 7 i thing...

any other cool tip??

[cj iwakura]

I'd say go after 8s and up for hard Freestyles, since they're the ones that break out the 8th note runs more often.

I'm just glad to see more people playing Nightmare.

[blodiaspike]

It's a "half double nightmare" [as what's going on], it's a lot like the crazy, but some steps are kinda hard to hit, anyway give it a try, the worst that can happen is you gettin a.......HEY WHY DONT YOU JUST...........
