How do you guys do stairs?

That is pretty much me when attempting stairs by keymashing.

That probably won't help at all, though, but this is just my two cents.

Actually that helped immensely.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. Happy AAAing.

Wow I think there's a criminal lack of staircase-focused easy files in this game.

Umm... Moogy used a lot of them. Delirium and Crowdpleaser come to mind but those are two terrible files that you shouldn't play lol

Then there's the classic index stream charts that Rebirth and I (along with others) made in 2007-ish.
Check out Roller Coaster Ride or Endless Dream or something?


Can't think of any real good staircase-centric file. This must be rectified next batch


EDIT- just checked the file, definitely Roller Coaster Ride! Happy practicing.

You. You are awesome, thanks. : )

It just takes practice, like everyone says.

First, middle, middle, ring, middle-slide-middle, first.

Is how I do it. If your keyboard is flat enough you can slide on the way up as well, which simplifies things a lot in faster files.

Other than making sure your fingers are a little sweaty or oily, being warmed up, and having high stamina for accuracy, there isn't much we can tell you other than play loads.

I'm deff no pro at this game and no where near to good. But I can say, I do love me some stairs ;o

The best advice someone in my position could give, is try to get some tunnel vision goin on and keep practicing with how you rhythmically move your fingers. I've noticed that most songs with stair cases have the same pattern that OP posted as a gif, with some yellow/purp arrows in between.
