Bloodrush Expert question

Travelsonic · Trick Member Joined: 08 Oct 2005

I recently got into playing ITG after being inspired by a video of two people playng marathon mode - mainly Bloodrush Expert diffuculty.

My question is how do you even come close to beating it? What tips would you give to somebody trying this song?

I know the freeze arrows invlove using your hands as well, but is this the case for the entire song, or do you have to move your feet really really fast?

Any help would be appreciated, even if it is only for Hard mode, and not Expert... I can get fairly far in hard mode though.

There are only a few hands in expert mode, dont worry about those. You'll have to worry about reading the slow part and having enough speed and energy in your legs to beat that, plus the two parts in the beginning and the end that's almost identical. If you're a moderate reader, place it at 3x normal or 5x mini, if you're a fast reader, 4x it or 6x mini it. Trust me on that.

Other than that:

Practice

First off ITG isn't similar to other games where people can give you extensive tips on how to beat a certain "boss" (in this case Bloodrush). All you have to do is practice - and since you have a video, perhaps watch their feet and see how they move.

The song is crossovers the entire way through. If you don't turn your hips, you'll never make it.

5x mini is cool if you can read mini

3x incoming accel is good too. or hallway instead of incoming, but I prefer incoming

So...you're having trouble with burning heat, yet you want to try bloodrush?

Maybe you should try some 10s or something..

Call me stubborn (I know I am) but I am still learning and trying it... on hard mode (not expert)

If you cant do the generally known 'easier' 12's dont bother trying bloodrush.

Hard mode is more like it. If you don't specify a difficulty, people will assume you mean Expert (like they assume Heavy in DDR). I don't remember what the Hard chart looks like; I'll take a look later in SM.

Isn't bloodrush an 8 on hard? Seriously, Bloodrush expert is one of the 5 hardest songs in ITG. If you can't pass everything in DDR, you don't stand a chance.

There's nothing inherently difficult about BR Hard. If you're moderately good at crossovers and stamina, you're set.

I got some more sane goals in mind:

Work on Bloodrushon hard mode (not expert), THEN (OR WHILE DOING THAT) work on 10 footers in DDR AND slowly take little bits of Bloodrush Expert.

I highly doubt that would work. Try working on the 11's first then the 12's not DDR 10-> ITG 12...
