Good packs/places for easy files
Heya.
So a bunch of my school friends have gotten into Stepmania over the past week, and they're all asking me for the game. I wanted to bundle a few good packs for beginners so they have something to start 'em off, but I couldn't find too many. So I want to ask you: what packs did you start playing when you were a beginner, and what files would you recommend? For reference, here's what I've included so far: FFR Community Pack Series Beginner Files (compilation of 58 files with good beginner charts - if anybody wants this, I could upload it!) Community Keyboard Mega Pack 1 Super Meat Boy Pack Toph's Originals (a lot of them are fully-charted) Any suggestions? |

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
I had to start with pad files first. I'd suggest getting some official DDR stuff from zenius i vanisher to start off with. Then move your way up to ITG/DWI extreme stuff. The first keyboard files I got to play decently were form F5 and VGMP1. Then work your way up from there.

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
shameless self promotion of sorts but my simfile packs 3–5 have multiple charts/difficulties for a majority of the files
I might just compile all my files with multiple charts into a pack if you want

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
Relatively obscure one, but Ace Megapack has a really solid mix of easy files.
SMG Pack 1 also has quite a few easy and very fun charts. |

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
thanks to all of the answers! i'll certainly have a lot of good files to give 'em.
@Nicki Menji: lol, awesome avatar : P i'll be sure to look for a few! i already gave my friend a collection of Dancing With Intensity files but i could probably find a few others. @mi40: t.hanks! br0 @danceguy: I'll upload it once I have a faster Internet connection (and a banner, speaking of which...) @Gundam-Dude: please do :3 also shameless request but could you make a quick banner for FFR Community Pack Beginnner Files in the same style as the banners for the season packs? @Wafles: great to know, thank you! |

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
Keyboard Megapack has a lot of easier files.
You could include F4/F5 and Keyboard Collab II in there as well, though there are some trickier files peppered in there. VGMP 1, 2, and 3 are great for beginners too. I actually think assembling a pack of easier files from a bunch of well-known packs (Like PPP 1 and 2, ODI 1 and 2, Keyboard Collab III, SMGPacks, Red Fraction, FFR Community Packs, Light Chancellors Packs, Xoon Packs, etc.) could be a good idea too. |

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
I second that idea! I might do it for the Lights Chancellor Packs sometime. Definitely the older packs, since they're likelier to have fully-charted files (PPP, ODI, Keyboard Collab and SMG). Not so sure about the FFR Community Packs (the only one with a significant beginner focus is 4) or the Xoon Packs (do any of them have charts for beginners?)

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
if I recall correctly, none of the Keyboard Collaboration packs have any files with multiple charts.
really neat idea. |

Let's see if they are interested in anime-ish song. If so, the world of 6 keys is now opening up before you! http://www.otakusdream.com/news/?page_id=593 http://www.otakusdream.com/news/?page_id=981 *disappears*

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
Most pad packs (Mute Sims, Mudkyp Korea) tend to be much easier than keyboard packs. Would also give a more diverse selection of stepping styles too.

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
pad charts can teach new players most of the things they need to improve, but there should be more beginner keyboard charts.

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
There has to be a simfile out there that can help introduce jumpstreams at moderate speeds. It took me until baq12's Return of Salieri chart to even learn that.

Re: Good packs/places for easy files
as much of a chore as it may seem, i would recommend playing faster jumpstream files on rates less than 1.0. if gives you a much wider variety of files to play, even if they sound like shit.
