Anything wrong with never clearing lvl. 10+ songs? - Page 2

nostromer · 06-11-2009, 04:55 PM

I can totally see where your coming from thinking that harder charts are just button mashing...

However, after practicing many many many hours, I can honestly say there is no other game - or no other satisfaction any game can give me - then when playing IIDX level 11+ songs, and finally being able to hit and combo nearly incomprehensible intensely complex patterns and thinking (how the hell am I doing this? -as your doing it)

You'll get it eventually, the brain works the hands more precisely and articulate then you think. It just takes time. time. time.

I used to think harder charts weren't as fun because I had low stamina and it felt like.. a grinding work out of sorts. - but once you get used to it, and you start clearing songs you once said would never be possible... You'll find out it is. You just need the proper determination.

I dunno, I tried the Another chart for Go Berzerk yesterday....

I don't think I'm passing that any time soon.

Go Berzerk and Hype The Core are very good examples of charts that are actually considerably easier than they look. (Not to say I've passed either of them)

Have you tried training mode man? I find that grinding the song from even like -10 play speed over and over, and keep upping the song rate slowly made me sooo much better. Thats how I cleared the first 9's and 10's.. was just practicing sections of them.

Thats how I learned to clear quasar [a] at least. No way I would have tolerated playing the entire song just to die at the major chord stream 2/3's through over and over with no progress.

-and random should get a mention here too- ; )

Really. training mode ; P

More to the point, do you really care what IIDX players think about you?

Training mode doesn't have slowing the song down before Happy Sky, so that doesn't help with Go Berzerk or Hype The Core.

Um, yes it does, I can break out my 3rd Style and take pictures if you want

For a while I thought I was in the same boat, but sometimes walls can take forever to break down. I've been playing for about 2 years, and a while back I thought I'd never get past 7s and 8s.

But now I can pass most 8s and probably 50% of 9s, and one 10 (Photongenic [h]). I'm getting there, it just takes lots of time and regular practise.

I've been playing since Fall 2007, and like I said before, only two 11's.

How long did it take for the guys here who can pass 11's and 12's?

I'm sure what he meant to say was that there weren't slow speeds divided in 12 Happy Sky and before.

Kay I'll leave now.

Whaaaaaa?

What was your first 11 passed?

Good question, but probably one of the really easy ones like D.C.fish. To be honest, I only really remember the first 12 I passed which was obviously Innocent Walls[A].

If I ever meet you I'm taking a hammer to your fingers. That's how we do things in the UK: if you can't beat them, beat them.

I passed my first 11 in 10 months, in October 2008, and it was CaptivAte ~Jouka~, which I really wasn't expecting to pass when I did.
Now, 8 months later, I still have trouble with 11s and have only cleared 5 12s (with normal KOC distance between the keys and turntable) along with a recent easy clear of Icarus.

Also, Happy Sky only allowed 5 song speeds, with 5 being the normal speed.
Distorted was when it was split into 12 slow speeds + 4 fast speeds.
