whenever i play toph's nemesis and get to that part where it's all 1-4's and the 16ths right before the silence i move my foot forward and great rush the entire portion

when i play emerald sword after the long freeze in the middle where it slows down i blink and i miss a few notes and quit out most of the time

whenever i play zaghurim's st scarhand i combo the entire beginning until right after the part with the guitar solo thing and the jack comes up, then i think about how awesome i'm doing and great rush everything until it slows down with the streams

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

My right hand always squeezes together forming like a crab hand, and I end up missing bs easy parts.


Also, what Staiain said.

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

I have this weird habit where every time I play a song I get a terrible score on it.

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

I sit on my back when i play lol

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

when there are no notes i improvise keyboard solos and just smash keys or keep the rhym by tapping out the 4ths

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits

For me it's probably I tend to swipe my thumb along the side of my index finger haha

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

I ghost tap incorrect keys on FFR.
I use ASKL so I ghost tap on QWOP

Maybe that will help you

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

Half of the time I jumptrill 4321 as [432]1

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits

stepmania has spoiled me for way too long

oh and I abuse chord cohesion thoroughly, especially in 6key

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

every time I hit some ~jack theory~ I jizz a little

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

if I'm doing especially well I'll start tapping my foot

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

I can't play 1324 or any pattern constituted of four keys which hit a different keys on each part of this interval while each of these keys are separated from the next key taped by an empty panel correctly.
Which means as long as it isn't 1234 or any pattern directly deriving from this, I'll just uselessly tire my arm by taping it as it was a trill. 1313 and 1324 are equally tiring for my arms even though I could play the second pattern WAY easier. But my fingers just say "no."

I ALWAYS ghost tap the intro of npv's Buzzards. I don't make it so consistently on other files.
I have terrible bad habits on Vertex Beta, a lot of false anticipations that trouble me very much.
When there is a set of long freeze notes, I like briefly removing my hold and putting it back just after. Files ending in a 3+ set of long holds usually causes me that classical accident in which I stay away from the key for too long and then the game considers the hold is failed.
So I have to play the whole file again.

My setup is JKL; so sometimes I tend to furtively play index on some "simple parts" of old files I play. (Saikyou OX Keikaku has some nice streams, the same goes for Vertex Beta and some other modern (!) files, I'm so good at changing style I recently was able to still get a consistent timing while alternating my style. As a player I'm an ArTisT)

When I get on a long trill, or on a harsh (jump)stream, I sometime just stop my breath to not disturb my playing. Playing hard files make it hard for my respiration. :(

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

I play index.

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
 

i play 'sdf jkl' and sometimes my thumbs drift and start making out with each other and it ruins everything

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits

Re: itt: name your weird stepmania habits
