Ace Of Hearts' Guide To Moving From DDR To ITG

I guess I could contribute something to this faq, if you wish.

I don't know of anyone who actually has a pic of what the freeze rolls look like, so, how about this?

It's the best I can do for now, I'll hopefully get a better one when I go back to play ITG 2 again.[/img]

The point isn't whether it's an easy or hard 11, dolt, it's that July Expert is NOT easy duable by anyone with decent experience in DDR like the guide says. Don't turn this into a battle of the easiest and hardest 11's.

Okay, I'm not going to argue at all, but I just want a few people to kindly and briefly describe to me what makes Remember December a high-end 10.

I'd say the stamina. It's just a lot of stream with 16ths mixed in. Just tiring, and I feel is more tiring the all 10s (Except Soapy Bubble).

Lots of issues to address here today.

(To let you guys know, I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks starting tomorrow, so I'm doing as much as I can right now.)

Holy crud, did I actually say July? Where'd that come from? Fixing that. Nobody should play July [Ex] until they're ready.

I will make Remember December an "average" 10 (unless more of you disagree by 4:30 EST today, in which case that'll change again).

I will also add the difference in default songs. (We Know What To Do on dedicated cabinets, and converted machines have Amore. Thx to PendanticOmbudsman.)

I will also add the red-button function of changing difficulties on a dedicated cabinet. (Also thx to PendaticOmbudsman.)

I will also include Twilight as being good to get used to hands. (Uh...thanks yet again, Pendatic.)

lildrchris25 reminds me that Typical Tropical does have Expert steps. I will correct this issue.

I'm also adding a section regarding USB Flash Drives ("USB Cards"), and how to get yourself set up on one (as I just recently got one myself).

I also realized recently that hitting a mine will not kill your combo (as long as you're still hitting proper arrows). Nothing regarding that was in my guide before, so I'm putting it in.

Also, I've got a bit more experience with playing/watching ITG 2 under my belt, so I'm shifting around some of the stuff on the difficulty comparison list.

Again, if anyone has any issues with my guide, let me know! I strive to be as close to perfect as a human can be.

I'd like information as to how one obtains Edits and how one must organize said edits on the card before one can take it to the arcade and expect it to work.

Thanks in advance!

I think I'll keep it mid-range for now.

I've heard a lot speaking toward HOTN being very stamina-draining even though the actual step patterns are rather simple.

I've not tried to play it yet myself, as it is a 12-block and I'm unsure if I'm capable of passing it. I've seen it played, though, and the patterns look simple enough to me; however, I can also say everyone I've seen pass it complains about how tiring it is.

So I'm not quite sure yet. All I know for sure is that it is definitely not an easy 12. That much is for certain.

If I can get a better case for putting HOTN on the stupid-hard-for-a-12 list, I'll do it.

Just because it seems like the people judging HOTN are basing their opinion on what it looks like, and not actual passing experience...

Having gotten a 93 on HOTN, I feel that I can safely say it is not a high end 12. Probably the hardest of the average 12s, as in it should be your last one before Bloodrush and possibly Deter, but in its own not overly hard for a 12. Like Ace said, the patterns are rather simple.

EDIT: Also, on Ace's note on how tiring it is, I found myself to be far less tired after HOTN than Bloodrush, even Tell and Go 60 Go (I definately wouldn't call Go 60 Go harder, but the akwardness of the steps tires me out).

Edits are a feature on RoXoR Games' In the Groove franchise. You may download edits off the internet, or create them using StepMania. An edit file or ".edit" file is simple, and really is just a modified version of a ".sm" file, from StepMania. You can create edits the way you create a stepchart or your own original stepchart to a any original song. In addition, ITGFreak has an Edit Database where its own userbase has created their edits and allowed them to be downloaded. All you must do is download those files to your drive under the "Edit" folder, and that is all. Make sure that the file has the extention .edit and that the song the edit is for exists on the mix!

For more information, go read the USB sticky. kthnx. ;D

I just wanted to let you know that after reading your guide, I spent my first full arcade session playing ITG (after a couple of years of DDR) and found the information that both you and Rancidfish posted extremely helpful; I also played Robotix just to see this 20 second roll, and my legs are still tight from that

You should add Fleaud Uncut in there on easier 10s. I beat it my first time playing with a C/C-

Y'arr Rancid, I'll have to keep those songs in mind next time I go to play ITG2.

But yah, I didn't even see Fleadh Uncut on your list at all...

This is a very cool guide to ITG it covers everything. BTW could someone please show a screen with some vivid colored arrows I never played ITG 2 so I don't know what it looks like but it sounds like it looks cool.
