basically, imagine yourself on a pad with yourself facing forward, left foot on the left arrow, right foot on the right arrow. a pattern comes up like this: (pardon my crappy cropping skills)
this is, without question, the easiest pattern in any dance game. your stepping is: left foot (L), right foot (R), left foot, right foot. this is not a crossover. now imagine yourself in the stoic (lol) position again, left foot on the left arrow, right foot on the right arrow. now THIS pattern comes up:
uh oh. not so easy now. most beginner players handle this by stepping: L, R, R, L, L or L, R, R, R, L. they are doublestepping. the correct way to do it is to step: L, R, L, R, L, bringing your left foot behind your right in a 90° turn. that is a crossover. i hope i did a good enough job of explaining this.
so, as you can imagine, on double there are a usually a lot of crossovers, and a lot of them are more complex than on single. to see a difficult double stepchart with nothing but doublesteps (as in Z3 or more recently the really awful fascination maxx heavy double) is kind of a sign of poor craftsmanship.
that said, it should also be noted that Z3 is still a keyboard file, so it doesn't really matter that there are no crossovers in it, since you can just mash your fingers on your double setup and still pass (i did). but they would be considered 100% pad unplayable.
Can I Be in the next simfile tournament, i promise i won't steal another persons work ever again.
