I just got this new song, Tsuhsuixamush, and am really confused. The song starts out normally, something kinda like Pandemonium, but halfway through the song, it starts getting pretty odd. I just stared in awe as steps turned into streams of mines and vise versa.
To see what was going on I went into the step editor and saw a BPM of -77.5, causing the stepchart to skip a few notes. I'm wondering, what exactly do negative BPM's do?
[sorry if this question was already asked, but i searched around but found nothing on this] | |

From my knowledge, just haveing a negative bpm will make the stepchart go backwards... but if you have a forward bpm afterwards, it (The stepchart) will teleport from the negative bpm to the positive.

If you want a good negative BPM song, get "monotune -respect-" from foonmix2. | |

[sorry if this question was already asked, but i searched around but found nothing on this] | Oh you mean Tsupseudogamush, that was one of the files on www.stepmania.com. I liked that file a lot, and wanted to do one like that one day, but it's just too confusing! The end of Challeng is a tricky one too, where you see a normal freeze arrow turn into endless mines, and going at 600BPM it's hard not to die :P | |

I tried using a negative bpm once and it was all cool and nice until I got an error. Foonmix seems to know loads about stepmania's tricks.

Already kiddies. I know this one.
A negative BPM causes sm to skip all the arrows until a positive BPM is given. | |

In that regard it's equivilant to an infinite BPM that works even under a C-mod? | |

There's a negative BPM song in Cheesemix 3 too, as well.
I think negative BPM actually causes SM to 'warp' you forward from the point at which it becomes negative past the point at which the BPM becomes positive again by a certain amount (I think twice as many beats as you spend in negative BPM). | |
