Practice other songs that have similar step patterns, but with slower BPM. Either that, or slow down the song on Stepmania and practice it until you can get it down.

And there is no excuse for being too young. My brother just turned 9 and he passed Delirium with an 80%. E1.gif

Remember, it's not important how old you are, it's important how long and how much you've been playing. I'm 20, and I've been playing for five years, but I know a guy who's like 17, has been playing for only a couple of years, and is way better than me because he's played more.

Here's a few similar stepcharts that might help you:

Boogie Down Expert
Disconnected Expert
July Hard
Xuxa Hard
Euphoria Hard

Give those songs a whirl, then give Remember December another shot. Hope that helps! biggrin.gif

Yeah, thats another thing. Play with people who are good at the game, so you can learn their techniques and eventually pass them in difficulty level. (Dylan, haha)

You'll be surprised how Pande Expert can really be. Go out and buy a PS2 (if you havn't already gotten one 4 years ago), ITG for PS2, and some soft pads with a foam insert. That's the only way I've been able to do anything to Pande. And I'm proud of that 48.89% on it. riiight.gif And I'm only 13, Playin DDR for 2 years, ITG for... 6 months. Already doing 12's (And a 13 on foam insert pads)

You realize that foam pads can allow you to lame through up to 3 difficulty levels higher than you can actually play at?

So I could do 15's on soft foam pads? That really doesnt seem logical... but yea I doubt you can do Pandy expert. Unless its Life Difficulty 1 E13.gif

You get what I mean. Unless you find someone who *s PandEx regularly, find some stupid 16 keyboard chart on SM, give them an Ignition or something, and let them go to town, it's within the difficulty parameters set forth by ITG (i.e., 13). The real point is I've seen foam pads allow people to lame by stuff way out of their difficulty range.

Not when the pad's half busted and it's non responsive part of the time. The only thing about foam inserts are they are sturdy like a metal pad, and don't have the stupid bearings like the metal pads (the circular ones on the four corners of the center square) where you can get a shoelace caught or the bottom of your shoe slides across it and slows your foot down and you miss the arrow. The only reason I havn't done it recently is lack of bar. The soft pads always had a desk behind them I held on to. My metal pads were transferred to my room so my parents wouldn't have to listen to them and the dorrways to small to fit the desk through so I'm screwed on the rail part.

The downfall for the plastic pads, is they are cheap, and are electronically sensored, meaning the black tape stuff can easily wear and stop responding, instead of the light sensors on metal pads, which just require a new bulb.

I actually never realised there was a life difficulty until about 3 days after I got the game. I've never really bothered with them. And there's a difference between my single clearing, odd circumstance PSMO and Pande Expert (Besides pads) PSMO's hell run are hard for me, and all Pande is is streams at the same speed as TLoM, which is not a bad speed. I'd be scared if they were over 10 BPM faster than that.

PSMO=Scary hell runs of death
Pande=Streams. Lots and lots of streams. I'll pull out my soft pad again and take a pic of my Pande results after school tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if I fail right next to the end. That seems to always happen to my combos...
