right.gif up.gif left.gif down.gif right.gif (and other arrow combos similar to a full circle)
You can do it without turning your back to the screen or without spinning, but they usually show up too fast to put your feet in the right place and you end up having to double step them all.

upleft.gif up.gif upright.gif up.gif upleft.gif up.gif upright.gif ....
Yeah yeah, no one plays 6-panel anymore, but man that's a tough set to do with alternating feet. You have to swing one leg around from one corner step to another while the other foot was stepping the up arrow.

Try CSFILSM.

Trust me, you'll have a blast.


Heheh... EE is a million times harder than CSFILSM as far as crossovers go. That last stream is just vile. I can crossover through it when I'm reading the stepchart at half speed but you've got to hit a certain Down arrow with your right foot just as that last stream gets going -- it makes the difference between riding that stream and drowning in it. I haven't managed yet =\

As for step sequences... left.gif down.gif right.gif up.gif left.gif . Nuff said.

There is a small part in Stomp to My Beat that I still can't quite get. The spacings are erratic but short. Just enough steps to cause me to fail Club Trax.

I hate the arrow combinations that are left.gif up.gif or down.gif left.gif at the same time. Those I always have trouble hitting, but then again I'm still at 3 feet.

Stomping (i.e. up,up,up,up,up,etc.) and non-sensicle choas like Rain of Sorrow.

Wow, you must really hate cheating at Contra then. blink.gif Anyone? Am I that old? Come on now, that was old-school Konami!

Anyway, for me... I have no trouble doing gallops, but I can't do them when they're alternating feet, errr.. how do I put it... like in Matsuri Japan or Twilight Zone. I guess those aren't really gallops, more like pairs of 16ths. Those always screw me up.

Yeah, Matsuri-style gallops are a giant pain, but I can kinda do 'em. My absolute killer is crossover streams. I can pass Rhythm & Police, but I look like a buffoon with all the double-steps. I just can't get myself to twist that much for that long.

up.gif down.gif down.gif up.gif or any combination of two arrows where they are immediately followed by their reverse. It's not that hard to do, it's just uncommon enough that it throws me off.

That weird part near the beginning of Afronova.

That part RULES!
I don't really find any particular arrow pattern annoying. The whole song of electro tuned subS mix pisses me off.
I'd seriously pay 50 dollars to see someone do EOTC on maniac with the right foot getting all the 1/4 notes, and the other foot getting the 1/8 notes. the massive amount of spins would be... Massive biggrin.gif
That little part in Burning heat in the middle got to me before I figured out how to do it. you'r facing right and the arrows are up.gifleft.gifup.gifdown.gifright.gifdown.gifleft.gifdown.gifleft.gifright.gifup.gifright.gif freeze.
In CSFIL (SM) the repetitive up.gifup.gifup.gifup.gif and the other arrows are sort of stamina exausting.
LOM or PSMO, where there is a 1/4 1/8 1/4 stream, all the 1/4 are one arrow. it's hard to do at that speed E2.gif

left.gif down.gif right.gif left.gif eighth streams and the like. Sure, the first three can be done as a crossover but that fourth step just ruins everything...

Shouldn't this be in Gameplay?

I'm fine with crossovers that use the down arrow, but ones that use the up are still a little foreign to me. Like, I can do that one crossover stream in R&P, but the one right after it throws me a bit.

Crossovers that make me face right vex me a little, too. I'm too used to facing left. Sometimes for a LDR crossover, I'll still face left and just step it backwards with feet RLR, rather than face right to do it LRL. (Breakdown comes to mind)

I also hate strange arrangements of 8th and 16th where theyre not even necessarily that dense, but it's hard to figure out what part of the music theyre attached to, like Get me in your sight, Loving You, Don't Stop, I feel. Usually they are made of repeating patterns..it's just a matter of detecting those patterns.
