How do you guys do stairs?

02-13-2013, 06:43 PM

I play 1 hand 3 fingers on levels <30 and spread on everything else.

Rolls? Good.
Streams? Good.
Bursts? Awesome.
Staircases? No way in hell.

Any advice? Ideally I'd like good examples of slower staircases that I could practice on.

What I'm talking about:

It's keeping me from FCing a lot of songs, and the closest I can get right now is keymashing miserably.

edit: An example of stairs I can't do is MASCARADA under Dance 2. It's level 46. Everything else is a piece of cake but 'dem stairs.

I can't think of any tips that could help other than to practice songs with patterns like that. You'll eventually get more comfortable hitting the pattern.

Re: How do you guys do stairs?

If you want a really simplified answer...

1) Just use spread, staircases will be nothing.
2) Should you be playing one hand three fingers, use the middle finger to hit the up/downs and the other two for left/right respectively. Although this could be a trouble when it's at a faster speed.
3) Try to emulate it with two of your most strongest/well-coordinated fingers, good luck.

I'm just gonna let another better one-hander to have a say in this, though...

Re: How do you guys do stairs?

I tend to read staircases as "triplets" (212 // 343 // 212 etc.) otherwise I tend to drop boos. This is primarily because the pattern basically consists of 6 notes while they are (usually) 16ths instead of 12ths or 24ths. So I try to think of them as alternating one handed triplets.

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