OUTER LIMITS vs MAX300

[mr.fan]

do you go with more complex steps at 300bpm?
..or less complex but constant at 342

I prefer Outer Limits only cause of the speed. Also, it sounds kewler!

I would say Outer Limits is easier. I usually put Max 300 on 1.5x anyway.

Max 450..... intriguing. Anyway, as far as steps go I prefer Max 300. It is sooooooooooooo much harder, even with the lower BPM. I warm up for max 300 with outer limits on heavy. (Not flaming OL, it's definitely not an easy song, but it's simple patterns don't wear me out and then reading 45 bpm's less seems like nothing.)

The steps for max 300 are also more varied. You go from eighth notes that feel like gallops to two, alternating two step, eighth note chains, then an eighth note chain with varying patterns, then some quarter notes, an even longer alternating two step chain, an evilly long eighth note chain with multiple patterns, then, into eighth notes in threes XYX for a while, then eighth notes in threes XYZ for a while, offbeat notes, freeze. Mega runs of eighth notes in sevens, then fives, then a dang near impossible run alternating left arrow / another step stright into candy * standard style gallops that have you turning and then another run that rivals maxX finishing up with the triplets from hell.

Outer limits is equally varied, but not varied frequantly enough. Max 300 completely changes every ten seconds at the most, while Outer limits you're in easy predictable patterns for fifteen to twenty seconds before something else comes up. Basically it's Sakura without sixteenth notes and freeze jumps instead of gallops.
As far as the song goes, though, Outer limits kicks.
