ITG SKills Decreasing

[itg_0825]

Ahha, call me different but I'm moving from DDR to ITG. I dunno, to me (although the song selection is smaller than that of DDR) ITG is just...a superior game. The mines and the much more challenging steps are just...funner to do. So, I dunno what will happen, but I'm guessing my DDR skills are going to decrease after awhile =/

However, after awhile I got tired of going to the arcade where an ITG is close and went back to the mall arcade which only has DDR Ex. I was playing that for a few months, not playing ITG very often. My DDR teching has shot up since then, and I can AA most 8s and many 9s. However, I stopped playing ITG for about 3 months straight because my scores in that game had gone down. I was never able to beat any of my scores, and sometimes would be far from matching them.

I played again yesterday, and on Monolith (E-92%) I didn't make the scoreboard with 88%, VerTex2 (H-88%) I got about 78%, and on Energizer (E-83%) I made about 70%. Put simply, I suck at ITG now, but I am getting pretty good at DDR, hence why I have quit ITG for the most part.

ITG = judge 4
DDR = judge 5

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

From what I've heard, ITG is actually more like 4.5 and DDR like 5.7, but whatever, same idea anyway. (I actually tried a test of one song on my Stepmania machine with every judge from 1-justice and then with DDR and ITG timing and got some interesting results)

I know what you mean though, since I moved to where I live now the closest ITG machine is about a 1 1/2 hour drive, unfortunately. So, I play DDR here, but my ITG skill tends to go down the gutter and I need to play for...a bit at least to get back into things...but actually, I went on a 2-3 week vacation out of town and played ITG a bunch and actually got better than I was before, so that was cool...
