Need tips on how to beat level 13 songs

Xebarsis · Trick Member Joined: 15 Sep 2003

I've been playing DDR/ITG for 3 years now, but I can't seem to get good enough to beat the level 13 songs (and Bloodrush.) Would anyone be able to give me just some tips that could help me improve my game to be able to pass those songs? I tried looking at the guides they have online, but none of them have tips for people who are already really good but trying to get even better. Thanks!

Crack! Now in easy-to-take crack tablets!

Seriously, though, just build up your stamina and reading skills, and eventually, just out of nowhere you'll finally pass your first one. It's one of those things where one moment you can't even put a dent in the songs, and the next you're able to pass them regularly.

I started with flash flash revolution before playing on my feet, so I can read anything when it comes to ITG (except Vertex^2 on nightmare mode!) I guess stamina is my whole issue though. I just don't like the idea of practicing everyday in order to improve my stamina 'cause I have things to do some days. If I ever take a break for one day will it make my stamina drastically reduce?

I think that if you are a good arrow reader, then you should be able to do Summer ~Speedy Mix~ first.

What if your footspeed is severely lacking?

I think if arrow reading is your strength, then VerTex2's difficulty drops a little. A fair portion of the difficulty is derived from it's impossilbe-to-manag-e-well speed changes.

Of course the ending just sucks out loud at any scroll speed

Speaking of 13s, is it bad that I think FaxX challenge and Chaos challenge are harder than any itg 13s?

That IS kind of odd....

Play either one of them on a C-mod though and they should stop feeling harder than a 13.

I mean seriously, with a C-mod, how could Chaos Oni POSSIBLY be harder than Summer? Or Pandy? Or VerTex2?

STOP EATING MICKY D'S, RUN REALLY FAST EVERY DAY, AND WHEN YOU GO TO PLAY ITG BE SURE TO MOVE YOUR FEET REALLY FAST. OK? OK! YAAAAAAAAY!

Or maybe it's because the people who play ITG well don't play DDR SuperNOVA.

The ones at my arcade do though.

I'm sure I'll never pass FAXX on Extra Stage on SN, and I can be considered somewhat skilled at dance games. 600 BPM is way too fast for comfort on DDR.

Perhaps this is how it is for the players at your arcade as well?
