    Want to earn some credits? PLAY SOLO. AGAIN.

    That's right ladies and gentlemen. From 5/12-5/16, I am giving people credits to play solo stepmania (6key instead of 4key).

    For those that have never played solo, setting it up is very simple. Go into your settings and change your key setup to something like "qweiop."
    q - left
    p - right
    i - up
    e - down
    w - upleft
    o - upright


    Now start the game as usual but instead of choosing "singles," tap over once and select "solo." Voila, you have now entered the solo zone.

    Think of the pattern variation in a standard 4key file, whether you are playing on FFR or SM. Add two more columns, and you have a crazy amount of patterns.
    Single note - {4, 6}
    Doubles - {6, 15}
    Triples - {4, 21}
    Quads - {1, 15}

    "But choof, I don't have any (easy) songs!"
    Don't worry! There are a couple packs that cater to new solo players.

    Hey, check this thread for Solo Monogatari 2 because it's a new pack and it's awesome.
    Also BCMP 6, this is filled with very close conversions of IIDX charts, so some files may be rather tricky.

    Patashu's Solo Beginner Pack
    Xiao's Solo Beginner Pack
    Xiao's Solo Beginner Pack II
    Xiao's Solo Beginner Pack III
    Solord State Squad Pack (this one is geared more towards more seasoned players but still has some good stuff)
    Solo Monogatari
    Solo Japan Pack (also geared towards better players but all of the files are pretty fun)

    Now for the credits part.

    In order to receive credits, you need to do three things.
    1 - You can't be a seasoned solo player. I've been playing long enough to know who plays solo and who plays it well. Don't try to trick the new players out of credits! I only have a finite amount :'(
    2 - Your scores must be from one of the packs I linked in this thread. The reason for this is because, well... Mashing on stepmania isn't as effective as it is on FFR, but it still works. Mashing to pass a song isn't completely frowned upon, but I highly suggest you actually play easy files until you get the hang of solo.
    3 - All scores must be posted in this thread. That's why it's in the brag board, although the point of this thread isn't to brag. Unless we get some little rivalries going!

    For each score posted before Wednesday morning (May 16th, 8am server time), you will get 250 credits up to a maximum of 10,000. Notable scores will get a bit extra, and it won't go towards your credit cap. I have more credits than the last time I did this, so please, feel free to post a ton of scores (a couple people only posted 4-5 scores last time lol).

    If you enjoy solo, try making files for it! New solo files are always welcome. Helpful info on making solo files can be found in this thread (stargroup #1 bufang).

    Lastly, do not feel bad if your scores don't look the best! I know this sounds cliche, but we were all beginners at some point. Especially when it comes to solo.

    Re: Want to earn some credits? PLAY SOLO. AGAIN.

    After a bit of thinking, I've increased the amount of credits gained per score. And the cap is higher !! (I have 250k credits, I don't think 1000 scores will be posted l0l)

          Hmmm, I might do this.
          But do the solo pack folders need to go anywhere special....? I dl'ed some but when I start up SM it won't let me key over to solo.

            If you're using the 3.9 you download from stepmania.com, solo seems to be disabled. Try using this, it's SM 3.9.

                    Nice midnight pass !! (13)2 and (46)5 are brackets, arguably the hardest pattern in solo. If you can learn to hit those well, then you're set.

                      "That just will not do." was keywii's response as she lunged for the scissors, pulled the blades apart, and clamped them down on the base of foil's shaft. Blood start gushing out of the wound where his penis used to be.
                      "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Foil in horror.
                      "Don't worry. I'm a wizard" uttered Keywii. And with that, Foil's penis grew back.

                            Easier than I expected



                            16ths wound up being not hard at all
                            and the holds kicked my ass lol



                            THIS FILE IS SOooooOO fun wow, definitely going to play again.
                            Impeccable flow, it's just... really fun yeah
