HOW TO DO CROSSOVERS - Page 2

Ugh, Exotic Ethnic has a TON. That song is fricking HARD. I hate that song for being too hard. I think it drains a lot more stamina than Sakura.

What about hard stuff like 42682?

Those are almost impossible unless you're set up perfectly.

The only way to do them is to change your position so that your left foot is on down and your right foot in on right. You can figure it out from there.

those spins are friggin easy. as long as u can focus ur eys back on the arrows really quick after the spin

hEaLiNgViSiOnAnGeLicMiX · 01-8-2005, 09:08 PM

wtf it's not that big of a spin...

4 - right foot.
2 - left foot.
6 - right foot.
8 - left foot.
2 - right foot.

Alot of songs drain more stamina then Sakura, I find sakura easier then some 8 footers lmao. And yeah I'd have to agree Exotic Ethnic is hard, constant crossovers so it's sortof similar to Rhythm and Police, except obviously faster and without the gallops.

Most tiring song in me opinion (not ten footer): No clue

Yeah, I know, that has no point in being posted, but whatever.

My guess would be cartoon heroes or can't stop falling in love speed mix. There could be more that I just can't think of right now...

Tsuteto · 01-8-2005, 09:37 PM

I was thinking of Cartoon Heroes. Probably more that I think about it though... Twilight Zone, Matsuri Japan, or HVAM.

Torlock · 01-15-2005, 03:47 PM

Yea, I think HVAM is the most tiring. I learned to play all the way up to heavy, and then we had a tournament. I lost horribly because my PA was uber ugly all because I couldn't crossover. Now, I love songs with crossovers. Rhythm and Police is definitely my favorite for crossovers.

That's odd. Matsuri Japan is widely considered one of the easiest 9-footers at our arcade. Oh well, this is just an opinion after all.

Sync oni and Stoic are pretty hard, too. Stoic is like a harder version of DXY!, which a lot of people thought should've been a 9.

HVAM, any crossover is possible if you're set up right, but you usually aren't unless you play ahead of time, which some people do. Spinning just doesn't seem like much of an option unless it's something like Frozen Ray (For Extreme).

SMGod · 01-17-2005, 06:16 PM

The best way to PA HVAM is to do double steps minus a few crossovers imo. The spins aren't worth the risk and will likely screw up your PA.

dAnceguy117 · 01-18-2005, 07:38 PM

Yeah, I end up double stepping on that a lot, that and Daikenkai, with its bullshit patterns and all. In general, though, it's a good idea to avoid double stepping all you can.

Velious · 03-17-2005, 11:07 PM

really? i play heels/toes, so i doublestep just fine, crossovers arent necassary unless its bullshit steps like psmo n such

4 with my left

So I'm basically hitting 3 panels with the same foot. I find this to be the most confortable method, but like I said it doesn't work so hot with fast songs. Note: on slow songs I actually spin, but this method os for songs where it's too fast to spin for me, ie Max 300 standard has this part... nevermind :P

Instead of the spin, which is just about impossible to do in normal play on a hard song, I do it a different way than you do. I hit....
4 with my left.
2 with my right.
6 with my right (again).
8 with my left.

Still, there is no easy way to do this. Even here, it's hard to do on hard songs.

One thing that I did have a problem with is Afronova. In the beginning, there is a part that I could not figure out. I had to see people do the song correctly to get it. The part was, seriously, 426486426486426. I found out that I had to cross over not only left on the 6, but then put my right on the 4 right after to get it to work. After that, it was a breeze.

I have trouble on PSMO, because the crossovers are near impossible cuz they are all over the dang place.

**Rebirth0** · 04-15-2005, 09:44 PM

The crossovers on PSMO aren't that hard if you study them. Crossovers aren't my problem, it's being too fast when playing. I fail PSMO because I'm too fast.

debit13 · 04-30-2005, 07:49 PM

About your past Afronova problem, I had your same problem. If you turn your body with you facing the 4, it becomes simple. When you turn toward the left arrow, the 426486426482426 turns into 842862842862842, which is so much easier. However, it kinda puts you in a bad position for the upcoming jumps. But, if you are fast enough, it's not too bad.

Malazan · 08-10-2005, 02:30 PM

Thanks a lot

That'll help me a lot in R+Police for sure. Although it'll take a lot of practice to nail the 486 and 684 perfectly

Chances are ill lose my balance and trip xD

Anuj · 08-10-2005, 05:06 PM

I double step everything.. because I suck at crossovers.. I'll put exotic ethnic on 3x, grab that bar and pray to god I AA it =\

Person08 · 08-13-2005, 11:50 PM

Crossovers!

For the longest time I was just in a rut with DDR. I could play most of the heavy songs and pass alright, but some songs I was just confused on how to do it! And then one time at an arcade I was watching this kid playing (He was the best I'd ever seen, holy crap...) and he was playing End of the Century, and In saw him do the crossovers. And suddenly it hit me! I could do crossovers!

I could suddenly do so many more songs with more ease. It just feels better too. *sniff* Crossovers saved my life...

You guys all think HVAM is tiring? I beat it on my first try with only 3 misses, and I use HVAM like it's easy. Although the 8th jumps are tricky...

Matsuri----------I thought was actually annoying more than tiring, the gallops constantly repeat themselves, it's quite annoying, same thing w/ Twilight Zone for the beginning. I don't know about Cartoon Heroes, i haven't tried it...yet. I remember Witch Doctor making my knees freakin' numb...and so did Exotic Ethnic. Those crossovers are fast as heck.

And CSFIL Speed Mix...well, it's tiring to your legs, but not physically...I haven't seen anyone sweat to that song.

Also, as HVAM said, Sakura is very a weak 10, I black flagged it on my second try.

What else...oh yeah---I haven't tried Stoic, but if it's like DXY! then it will not be fun for me. Oh, sorry about the long post. Carry on...
