addicted to 1.5/ 2.0

was i the only one who went through a long period of only being able to play songs at higher speeds shortly after getting into heavy? took me forever to get back to normal.

I can play without mods, but it seems to kill my PA...I get impatient and step too soon.

I hate it when people call speed mods cheating. It isn't cheating if it's programmed into the game, now is it? But, yeah, I use 1.5 and solo all the time. I find it hard to play on a machine where I can't use those!

I actually like to use them on fast songs that are already easy for me (Drop Out, Cant Stop Falling in Love (Speed Mix), ect.) for a little bit of a challenge, or songs that are too dense (NOT Bag... So Deep or Xenon). I havent used them much recently, but i did go through a spell of using them very often. I see nothing wrong with using them.

clear things up: Speed Mods are not cheating.
-------------------------

Using speed mods to make a song easier and then brag about doing good = cheating (in my own opinion).

Using speed mods to make a song harder and then brag about doing good on it = yay.. go you.

I use 1.5 alot.. but I usually like to keep it on 1x on slower songs (still working on bag *1x*)

Yeah.. its good to use them to help you learn the song and just to play around. If it makes the game more fun for you.

I don't play any songs under 2x. I make a few exceptions:

bag
TLOM
Maxx Unlimited
PSM(O)
MAX300
Drop Out

I usually slap a 1.5x on songs under about 250 bpm, especially if its an 8 or 9 footer. It improves my PA, and certainly makes songs easier to sight read. It also helps when you're trying to read really fast songs or on the extra stage.
But when it makes it too easy, I try to make sure I can still do the song without the mod. I still dont really consider beating bag x2 a real 10-footer accomplishment.

I can go up to 3X on most songs. Since I play Stepmania/ SMO on an almost addicted level, I'm used to reading mindnumbingly-fast speeds like C600, so 450 is almost like bag 1x for me at times.

I use mods as a personal preference, its not cheating or whatever. Sure, its easier to read, but then again, the arrows are onscreen for less time, which cancels the benefit (especially at higher speeds).

Anything 175 or lower I slap a 4x mod/Solo on it. Yes thats right 4x

if the machine doesnt have 4x on it, I do 3x, I always aim for the arrows to scroll at about 600bpm~~ so things 175-250 is usually a 3x for me that way when I play 10 footers with a 1.5x mod, 450 = slow as hell

I played for the first 4 months of my DDR life with 1x mod and was beating 9 footers with it. I havent lost that skill, but I cant deny that I do play significantly better (and much calmer it seems.) when the arrows are flying across the screen faster and further apart.

My way of doing speed mods is a bit odd... I like to play So Deep on 1.5x Boost Flat a lot for no reason (I can read it just fine normally), but for all other DDR songs it's 1x. (I still haven't played bag--that would get 4x, though.) On ITG I speed-mod virtually everything to varying degrees (1.5x for most, 3x for Anubis, maybe 2x if I ever get around to Euphoria expert)... except when I decide to have a go at VerTex expert--otherwise I can't read the 612bpm end section.

I have only used a speed mod on 2 songs, and thats Bag and Still in My Heart (Momo Mix). Bag is too hard for me on x1 right now, but the only reason I put em on SIMH(Momo Mix) is the slowdown part. x1.5 on SM seems to do the trick.

In my opinion, its kinda stupid to put on speed mods on songs that only use 1/8th (and the 1/4ths) notes in it. It's really easy for me, and I don't see why anyone would have trouble with that.
