Xiao's Solo Beginner Pack

**Xiaounlimited** · 03-26-2009, 01:24 PM

(more like minipack but whatever)

Cross-posted from ODI

Straight from the readme:

As a solo enthusiast, I felt it was a shame nobody played solo. This is likely a result of the extremely steep difficulty curve; there are very very few easier files to bell the curve for new (or inexperienced) players. I then set out to make a pack of a few files to act as a starting point for these new players, so they may grasp the basics of solo to start enjoying those harder files.

8 files, 3 difficulties each. You can figure out how the difficulty ratings work or read the readme. Files don't exceed BCMP 11-12ish in difficulty.

A Geisha's Dream // SMiLE.dk
from DDR X : 3/4/11

Chocolate Disco // Perfume
1/4/10

Coloris // SHE
2/8/10

Cross Time // Brandy
from O2Jam : 2/8/11

Lune Noir // Sonitus Vir feat. Emily Smith
from Mungyodance 3 : 6/9/12

Saber Wing // TAG
from DDR X : 3/8/12

Star Field // SADA (re-release)
from Beatmania IIDX 9th Style : 4/7/10

Trigger // sonic-coll.
from DDR X : 5/7/11

Try to enjoy.

awesome

i'll probably start playing solo now

**Coolboyrulez0** · 03-26-2009, 01:31 PM

Interesting, might try it out. I know this has probably been asked multiple times but link to a guide about solo, how to do it (setting it up) and all that?

**Xiaounlimited** · 03-26-2009, 01:56 PM

Stargroup's guide is about as close to a solo guide as there is, right now.

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=95699

Note that some themes don't enable you to play solo; if you use the default or those that do though, it shouldn't be a problem. Other than that, three fingers on each hand is about all you need to know. Left hand takes L/UL/D, right takes U/UR/R.

I also recommend using a bar (or at least non-arrow) skin. There are a few floating around, like Notebar, Revbar, Notebar++, Metalbar, etc.

Quigly · 03-26-2009, 02:06 PM

Ooo I'll have a go at this.

**JenovaSephiroth** · 03-26-2009, 03:23 PM

Getting this because I suck at solo and because Lune Noir :V

Question though: did you use the normal version of Lune Noir or the faster EX version of it? lol

Emeraldas · 03-26-2009, 04:39 PM

Ohhh....very nice. This will be perfect to get started on solo myself. Been talking to some ppl about starting, but found myself a bit....lacking in the harder songs. D=

And does the o2jam noteskins work like how you described?

Normal version; it's already short enough.

If you mean you have an O2Jam bar noteskin for SM that you want to use, yeah it works. I don't recommend it in SM due to lack of colour notation.

moches · 03-26-2009, 10:53 PM

Sounds cool. Downloading right now.

Yeah, I guess that isn't exactly the best noteskin to use unless ya like to play flat. xDDD But sweet. =3

TC_llama499 · 03-27-2009, 12:26 AM

i have been looking for a solo song i can pass lol thank youuuu

**Patashu** · 03-27-2009, 01:47 AM

easy solo files? madness

I approve

Archelos · 03-27-2009, 02:02 AM

Hey, sick stuff. I was trying to get into solo like a week ago, and there really just aren't any good files to learn how to play solo with. I made one of my own, but that's pretty gay learning from your own files :P

I'm downloading this. Thanks.

moches · 03-27-2009, 03:03 AM

Good pack

Coloris is really fun and an amazing song too I'll probably make steps to it and jack your graphics lmfao

Emeraldas · 03-27-2009, 07:24 AM

I just love this selection of music, even though it's really only a few songs. I especially love Cross Time. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the background. xDDD Well....mostly. ;D

The difficulty of these songs is just perfect, tho, for trying to get started. And they are actually harder than a lot of the DDR Solo steps made by Konami. rofl

kommisar[os] · 03-27-2009, 08:09 AM

awesome pack conceived xiao. everyone else was too lazy to do this lmao

**coraleaterlinda** · 03-27-2009, 12:56 PM

thank you. i've been wanting to try solo for a while, but needed something easier to start out on.

bluguerrilla · 03-27-2009, 01:22 PM

Neat, I might actually try solo now.

[TeRa] · 03-27-2009, 02:08 PM

nedz moar filz

Good idea of course, would have helped me so damn much when I started solo, I failed Jelly

Wineandbread · 03-27-2009, 09:46 PM

This is a good idea. =O

Gonna try it tomorrow, I guess.
