DJ Sonic Blue Sun Help

Postby max_torch » Tue Mar 04, 2014 11:35 pm

Hi this is my first post.

I don't get how to do the song DJ Sonic Blue Sun on Medium using the dancepad.
There are parts where you have to hold the up arrow with one foot and at the same time the other foot has to deal with the other arrows, and these other arrows involve red and blue arrows, not just red arrows - especially near the end. Are stuff like this meant for keyboard play only? They seem too crazy.
Also there are so many parts that involve things like left, up, right. stuff where I have successfully tackled these in other songs by crossing my foot to the other side but here if I do the crossover there are quick steps right after (involving blue arrows) and I cannot recover thereby forcing me to double-step in order to get through these parts instead.
-I have no problem acing this song using a keyboard.
I can get through the song on the dance pad and score a C, but only by deliberately not holding the up arrow in the last part near the end.

Are there any advanced techniques I should know to help me deal with this song? Can anyone look at the song?
I couldn't find a stepchart of this...
And what are the right terms for the things that I am describing here?
Edit: I think I might have posted in the wrong area? sorry it was a careless mistake can we move this to the right area please?

From what you've described, it does sound like a file that is intended for keyboard play only, unless the chart runs at a relatively low speed.
I've never heard of the file let alone have it in possession, but if you want you could make a screenshot of the section in question and I could give you my thoughts on it.

As for terms, I think it's just fine the way you described it! But it might be better to call the notes (arrows) by their 'technical' name rather than by color, since the color can be different depending on the noteskin you use. Red arrows are generally referred to as '4ths' (as in a 1/4 note) and blue arrows would be '8ths' (1/8 note).

And yeah, I think this thread belongs in 'General Stepmania Discussions' ;)

I don't know how to get a screenshot. I am using stepmania v5 beta 2a. When I tried to get a screenshot by pressing PrintScreen, there was a camera snapshot sound, but when I tried to paste in paint the image that appears is the desktop or the active window behind. Can anyone tell me how to get a screenshot?

On windows, the screenshot are save under %APPDATA%/roaming/stepmania 5/screenshot. It will be something like that :

C(your partition with windows on it):/users/(your account)/appdata/roaming/stepmania 5/screenshot
