Everyone feels like there's some thing's they're good at and thing's they're not so great at doing. It can also explain why you're better at one song that's supposedly harder than another. What's your's when it comes to taking on some of the big challenges in ITG?

My strengths include:

- Chaotic rhythms
- Fast songs (I tend to receive higher scores on Disconnected Expert and Summer ~Speedy Mix~ Hard than stuff like Da Roots)

My weaknesses are:

- Bad habit of hitting the left arrow too far back
- Easy songs (I can't score any higher on PA Theme than any general Expert 9)
- Overly long 16th runs

Strengths:
-Hands
-Odd footwork
-Short yet Hellish sections

Weaknesses:
-Mines (For Seriously)
-Long, relentles sections (Hello Bloodrush)

Stamina is pretty good, but I lose focus after doing some thing pretty hard for a while. That's why Delirium is SOO much harder for me than Vertex, !, and Go 60 Go. Heck, even Euphoria if we're just talking about passing.

Strengths:

Moderately high stamina (enough to pass HotN, but not enough yet for Pandemonium)

Speed songs (I get higher scores on Infection Hard than nearly 85% of the songs on Easy and higher scores on Disconnected ~Mobius~ Expert than 95% of the 100-150 BPM songs on Hard.)

Weaknesses:

Long holds on arcade pad (I don't have enough body weight to apply enough pressure for the holds.)

Technical scoring (I score awfully on songs like Euphoria, VerTex², and Clockwork Genesis, but can score really well on Medium to Hard stepcharts for songs like Disconnected ~Hyper~, Robotix, Wanna Do, and Energizer.) I'm not too bad with crossovers and hands, though.

Strengths
-My FA is getting better on anything up to the 8-9 range.
-Relative to my play level, my stamina is strong, I feel.

Weaknesses
-Step-jump-step-jump patterns at anything approaching a fast tempo destroy me (Sup DFC).
-16th runs, even fairly slow ones like On a Day Like Today, tend to make my lifebar drop quickly.

Strengths
- Fantastic Attack (I can do well with my FA on even 11s (*'d Utopia, 95%'d Xuxa))
- Short but numerous runs
- Hands

Weaknesses
- Mediocrity at mines (I hit quite a few in songs like Charlene Expert)
- Stamina (Even though I'm confident with 11s and am working on 12s, I just can't find the endurance to pass Tension Expert (10 footer))
- Crossovers in runs (Y HELO THAR THE BEGINNING)

Strengths:
-Mod reading (My biggest strength)
-1x reading* <-Read the footnote, damn it.
-Marathon and Survival courses
-Mine avoiding

Weaknesses:
-12+ songs with 24ths (to wit: VerTex^2, HotN, and Determinator, which I'm SO close to passing)
-Songs with huge streams, namely Delirium and Summer.

*This does NOT express my opinion on speed mods. I don't play 1x because it's a "pure" or "right" way to play. I personally think that the debate is stupid, and can't stand to listen to either side of it. I only play 1x because I like the added challenge more than getting the best possible scores and because the players around here think it looks pretty cool.
