Help with Stepmania

Postby Stephobos » Fri Jul 24, 2015 5:13 am

First of all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, if it isn't, apologies.

I play Stepmania for around 5 years (with lots and some huge breaks, but I'm counting since the first time I started playing).
During that time, I would play more casually, without caring much with score and stuff, but now, I want to get off that "casual zone".
So, after watching some gameplay videos and tutorials, I'm a little confused with Index, Solo and etc...
I always played with the arrows, but I can't press at four at the same time so I started with AS-KL recently.
Which is the best way to play? Should I keep using arrows or should I get used with AS-KL?

Thank you.

There are many different styles playing. You can read about it in SM terminology. Here is a link: http://www.keybeat.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2435

See: Spread/Thumbing. Index does not seem to be listed but, its considered using 2 hands with only your index fingers.

As for kb input: read about ghosting: https://www.microsoft.com/appliedscienc ... ained.mspx

As for getting better; it just take practice in your preferred style of play.

Thanks for the fast answer and the links.
So, I can keep using arrows that I won't complete more musics if I learn AS-KL?
Thanks once more.

Use whatever you feel comfortable with. I'd recommend trying out different styles/keys and see what you like best.
