Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
So I can stop flooding the ITG thread with my terrible scores :)

PIU is fucking hard man x.x


Not bad for being rusty as hell.

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I'm not gonna know any of these charts, but I'm rooting for you!!!!

shenjoku 01-15-2016 12:41 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I accidentally hit scroll lock instead of print screen so I lost the results screenshot :( Only two misses and 7 greats! Much better than last time


Made it through Bad Maniacs this time but Golden Slaughter fucking rekt me within the first minute x.x Some really complex mods going on in that one. I didn't know that it's a 7 minute song either. That's going to be really tough to get through after four other songs...

shenjoku 01-16-2016 03:24 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
MOAR MODS! Because I love me some mods :3

Sightread of the song and the mods. Not too terribly hard. Definitely gonna improve this one soon :)


Another heavy mods sightread. These are the only two songs I managed to pass in this pack lol (WinDEU Hates You: 401k, for those that don't know the course).


Tried playing Golden Slaughter without the mods to get a better feel for the song. Pretty terrible score for a sightread, but it's 7 minutes long x.x give me a break. I need to work on my stamina...

shenjoku 02-13-2016 04:39 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I'm still alive, I swear. Now that crunch time is finally over at work I should have some free time to play again. Gotta build up all that stamina again though since I stopped for almost a month x.x

Tested out a chart I just finished recently. Turned out pretty good I think. I feel like it's a hard 10.


Here's a video if anyone is curious what the chart looks like.


Up from a 76% or something like that. Nowhere near what I used to be able to do, but it's good stamina practice.

YoshL 02-13-2016 05:09 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
being 100% real with you

if you're having trouble sightreading the mods of golden slaughterer (it gets much than the first minute of the song btw)

xb will bring you death

e: i did not look at posting times lol

shenjoku 02-14-2016 02:01 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Yeah, I watched xb again today. That shit is rough. Probably need to practice that outside of the course a bit.

shenjoku 02-20-2016 03:52 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
First try on pad since I finished this chart yesterday. Wishing I would have done it when I was more warmed up x.x I'll improve this for sure.


Getting better at mod reading :)

Video for reference of the fun mods~


Holy shit I passed it. This song is hard as fuck to read for me, especially that weird part with the arrows sliding around a sphere. Now that I can pass it I can start improving the score :)

Another reference video cus the mods in this one are insane.


Finally got a 96 on this one :) The Decent was on a 16th hold that came out of nowhere. I wasn't paying attention and didn't drop the hold but was way off beat on hitting it. FC will come soon...This is without the mods btw since I just like the chart by itself.

shenjoku 02-21-2016 04:37 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Decided to change it up a bit and played some PIU today. The PIU arrows really need to be broken in still; they are slippery as fuck. Crossovers are really dangerous lol

So fucking close to a AAA! Both greats were part of the same gallop where I just did the crossover wrong :( I'll get this next time.


Another really close one. I can probably AAA this now that I know it better.


Happy to see I can still pass this :) I'll definitely improve once my pad stops being so damn slippery.

shenjoku 02-22-2016 11:50 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Starting to work on that course again. Posting these failed scores just for progress reference :)

This is only the second time playing this on pad. I've watched it on autoplay a few times to get a better sense of the mods and I think it helped. I can read the part that I failed on last time perfectly, but there are still three other sections that kicked my ass.


This is the first time playing this on pad. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I could read the pad part really well (if you watch the chart you'll know what this is), but the stuff after that where the playfield rotates all around kicked my ass. When it goes to the sides I have no idea what's going on. I'll probably be able to pass this before Golden Slaughter tbh.

shenjoku 03-2-2016 12:24 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Sure helps to play this when I'm not insanely tired.


First pass outside of the course. I'm so fucking bad at that last part. I just can't figure out when the first arrow is and them I'm off for the whole section and I can't figure out how to correct myself.


Not bad, all things considered.


Getting there...I keep fucking up the last half of the pad part, but I can almost read it. It's just another case of getting off once and then never being able to recover. Still pretty terrible at the rotation part too, but I was able to read it a bit better this time.


And this song is just fun :) FC soon.

shenjoku 03-6-2016 03:18 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
New attempt at that course. Got a lot farther into Golden Slaughter but I keep failing at the same part every time =/ I need to practice on keyboard or something. Also finally set up joy2key to trigger the second player as well, which makes a lot of parts SO much easier to read. It has a lot of input lag though so the 2p score is way lower every time.


shenjoku 03-8-2016 12:24 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Started with some easy stuff...





Then a bit harder...





Then even harder...




And for the finale...


I failed XD Oh well. I knew I wasn't going to pass but I wanted to try it anyways. I'm super pumped that I managed to pass two 12s. Horrible scores, but just being able to pass them is a huge improvement. Means I'm getting better :)

Riotpolice 03-8-2016 12:02 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Those are some pretty good scores. I'm definitely impressed with those 12 passes, I myself am still stuck on 10's.

shenjoku 03-8-2016 01:55 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Thanks dude :) I used to be able to get 96% on both of those 12s way back in the day when I was super pro at this game haha. Just trying to get back to where I was, very slowly...

massflavour 03-8-2016 05:46 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
go 60 go sucks compared to delirium, i find it far easier to do

looks like you're improving at any rate

shenjoku 03-8-2016 05:48 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Yeah, it's definitely easier. I was just tired as fuck since it was the end my session when I was doing it, so I'm happy I had enough energy just to pass it at all :P

shenjoku 03-12-2016 04:13 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Felt like doing more ITG stuff today :)

Still just as fun as I remember.


A little better this time :)


Completely forgot how the ending went so I fucked it up royally. Probably could've been a 90%. Next time!

Kraezymann 03-12-2016 09:26 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Oh man if only I had some space too hook up my pad, we could totally get a friendly rivalry going on. Your scores are better than mine for sure but I think I am sort of close to you in terms of what you're playing... it would at least give me something to work on! :)

shenjoku 03-13-2016 12:58 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
You can't make room for it? It's totally worth it.

shenjoku 04-13-2016 08:27 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Talk about a long break. I should be getting back into this soon now that my toe is healed. Nearly broke my toe three weeks ago but it finally stopped hurting when I bend it :D

shenjoku 09-19-2016 11:40 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I'm back!

Only like 1% improvement, but pretty good considering I didn't warm up at all.


I was struggling to get 90% before. Nice :D


Sightread. Wanted to test out my stamina a bit. All of the misses were because I needed to wipe sweat out of my eyes and I took too long :(


I hadn't tried the 11 chart before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Glad I survived it haha.


Got a new 27" monitor with 4ms input lag and the difference is HUGE. I feel like I can be accurate without really trying, just like I used to :) The monitor is dedicated just to the pad so I don't have to drag it around every time I want to use it, which was killing my back. Definitely expect to see more here.

Dinglesberry 09-20-2016 08:28 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
>4ms input lag

Ya but is it 144hz tho bro
gimmmmmeee dem juicy hertz

Winrar 09-20-2016 03:41 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I wanna see more pump, it's fun seeing people slowly progress into the songs with more and more brackets.

shenjoku 09-20-2016 03:47 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I'll get to it :P I feel like I don't have the greatest selection of pump charts to play though. A lot of the official charts are dumb as fuck and I can't find any good custom packs. Everything I find looks like it's meant for keyboard or has stuff that is stupidly hard and not fun at all.

shenjoku 09-25-2016 03:06 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Played for a few hours and only got one score that was any good.


I've also realized that the spawncamping-wallhack theme I've been using for PIU doesn't really work since it has no idea how to handle holds. Any song with a lot of holds gets a hugely inflated score. Not sure how to deal with that...I don't like any of the PIU skins I've found so far so I'm kinda stuck =/

shenjoku 10-2-2016 11:28 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
3.5% improvement woot! Good enough for me.

shenjoku 10-8-2016 04:44 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Had a good session this morning. Played through a ton of the Vocaloid pack, and I gotta say, that pack is fucking solid. Only one chart I didn't like out of everything I played, which is very rare. And that's just because it was more of those awkward crossovers surrounded by mines that I'm terrible at.




Really hard for a 10.



Woot! This went well. The greats were during the 12ths that came out of nowhere. Wasn't expecting it =/ Next time...


This one wasn't too bad. I zoned out during the last run and messed up an easy part.




Super fun. Love this chart :)


And finally, another 3% improvement, woot! Didn't fuck up the beginning this time so that's probably where it all came from.

Kraezymann 10-8-2016 05:01 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I'm jelly of your progress dude. Keep it up

shenjoku 10-9-2016 03:45 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Thanks :) I'm certainly trying. All that physical therapy has paid off I think. Feel a lot better now.

shenjoku 10-11-2016 11:41 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Played a bunch of Volcaloid songs to warm up then went through all of my charts. I revamped them all over the weekend and they are soooooo much better now.



Still can't pass Centipede Expert though :( So fucking hard. I adjusted the rating after and made it a 13 and changed Endless to a 12. I mean, look at the difference XD


shenjoku 11-24-2016 07:55 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I'm still here :) Took a month break because my knee was insanely sore after a concert x.x Going to see Knife Party this weekend so probably gonna be sore for another month XD worth it!

So clooooooooose


One great was early on when I forgot there was a lot of offbeat 16th stuff x.x oops

Kraezymann 11-24-2016 09:46 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Gib accuracy plz

shenjoku 11-24-2016 11:36 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
My accuracy is terrible D: You don't want it!

shenjoku 12-8-2016 12:24 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Mostly recovered some Knife Party so getting back at it :)

Can I just say that I hate this chart. The weird ass crossovers with the mines are...weird XD I have no idea how to do them without faking it. Surprised I did this well to be honest.


I think this is up from a 96.5x% or something like that. 98 soon :)

PrawnSkunk 12-8-2016 12:45 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Keep it up shenjoku! :)

Dinglesberry 12-8-2016 10:24 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Can you make your theme show the pack that the song you just played is in thanks in advance god bless xoxo

shenjoku 12-8-2016 09:34 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
I wish I knew how :( I'll see if it has settings for that. I'm not sure it does. I've been playing nothing but the Vocaloid Project Pack 4th if you're looking to download it :P

EDIT: Yeah, this theme has no way of showing the pack :( I'm running OpenITG with the Simply Love theme and can't find any information on how to turn that on, if it exists. I'm not even sure if OpenITG has that feature.

shenjoku 12-10-2016 12:58 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Got it :D


Huge improvement. Not sure why I had an 89% on this. Think I was just tired last time I played it lol. Happy I managed to FC it with all those 32nd bursts.


And then this magic happened yessssssss <3 Probably my favorite chart in this pack.

shenjoku 12-13-2016 12:37 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Fuuuuuuuuu x.x If I didn't keep fucking up stupid parts I could 96 this no problem. Maybe next time...


Up from an 82.xx :D I'll take any improvement at this point.


Starting to work on WHY marathons again. I'm sooooo close to passing Golden Slaughter x.x there's only one part that keeps fucking me over. Gotta figure out a way to read it and then I should be able to get to the last song in WHY 5EVR.

shenjoku 12-14-2016 11:57 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Finally some non-vocaloid stuff :P

----Kantai Collection--------
Pretty easy for an 11. Sightread FC :D All of the greats were during the wubwub section.


----Pendulum--------
4% improvement woot! Much harder 11 x.x


5% improvement :D Miss and nearly all of the greats were right after the slowdown because I forgot where the speedup was. Maybe next time.

shenjoku 12-20-2016 12:41 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Just one today. This felt really good though. Miss was the last of the 8th jumps and then got a WO shortly after because the miss threw me off, oops. So close to that star...

shenjoku 12-30-2016 10:51 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Some nice accuracy improvements.

----Kantai Collection--------



----ITG--------



----Vocaloid Pack--------
Yessssss fucking finally! Still missed one jump because I didn't lift my foot off the sensor enough, oops.

Kraezymann 12-31-2016 09:30 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
My pad is up and running. I have a nasty ghosting issue that causes many boos but I think I can manage to keep up with you in accuracy.

Edit: or at least I'm not too far behind

shenjoku 01-2-2017 01:41 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Woo! Bring it on :) What pad did you get? Also, you should get that vocaloid pack. Sooo many good charts in there. It's pretty much all I play now haha.

shenjoku 01-7-2017 12:18 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Played some other random stuff today.

------ITG Alex Compilation 2-------------
This chart is fun :)


I dunno why this so is so hard to PA x.x I just can't do it but I feel like it should be easy to 99


------Sexuality Violation 3-------------
Misses were dumb in both of these x.x FC next time!


Kraezymann 01-16-2017 04:11 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Sorry I missed your post. Its a shitty omega gx that I got second hand. I'm going to attempt to fix an original barless konami home pad within the next few months, and if I can get that fixed then I'll switch to it.

For now though lets fight on discord :D

shenjoku 01-29-2017 01:50 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Haven't played in a few weeks because lazy and life stuff x.x Also, there's a discord? Link?

-------Valex's Magical something something------
Pretty sure I can 98 this if I wasn't out of practice. I'll try it next time.


-------Shen's Mini Pad Pack------------
Haven't played this in a while. Had a 95.xx before :)


Spent a big chunk of today making a chart for this song. Always wanted to but I didn't have the motivation. It turned out pretty well I think. Added it to my mini pad pack because why not :P

Kraezymann 01-29-2017 09:46 AM

Let me know if that doesn't work, I copy/pasted off mobile so I'm not sure sure if it will

shenjoku 01-29-2017 02:18 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
woo that worked. Tried to find you but I guess you're using a different name? :P I'm Shenjoku, like always haha.

shenjoku 01-31-2017 12:24 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 

This is gonna be my last session for this week I think. Starting to get a blister on my right hand x.x I need to get gloves or something...

-------Valex's Magical something something------
Less herp derp this time around.


-------Shen's Mini Pad Pack------------
So glad I managed to pass this with over 90%. I tried it at 0.9 rate before I redid the ending and I only got 89.xx%. I'm too slow to keep up with the 174 16ths though x.x ending kicks my ass so hard.


-------Sexuality Violation 3------------
This score is terrible, but I wanted to post it because wtf are those minijacks, Dossar? I must be missing some technique or something because it's awkward as all hell. Don't think I'm playing this one again...


Another speed issue :( Every one of those CBs was during the long 24ths. I'll get there eventually...


Now this...This song is fun as hell :) Gonna be playing this a lot until I get a 98.


Not much of a score improvement, but I FCed it this time :D Helps that I knew the wubwub section was coming.


This chart is also really fun even though there's not much too it. Those freezes during the streams help to break up the monotony of streams on streams on streams :P


shenjoku 02-4-2017 12:09 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 

Some really nice improvements today :D Speed is feeling better.

-------Sexuality Violation 3------------
Getting there...First miss was wrong foot on a 24th part, second was in the 32nds, third was me not lifting my foot off the sensor enough. Oops.


First 12 pass in this pack :D This was really fun for how simple it is.


-------Shen's Mini Pad Pack------------
Played it a few times on 0.8 when I was testing it but this is my first 1.0 try. Fun chart :)


Big improvement. Mostly nailed the ending this time.


Another big improvement by 4% :O Was doing really well on all the runs at the end but I ran out of stamina on the last run and missed a ton. Getting there...


FUCKING YES! My crowning achievement thus far. First pass on this madness. The 24ths nearly had me but I pulled it out right at the end of the run and comboed the final big chunk of it.


DossarLX ODI 02-5-2017 09:39 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Congratulations on the 13 pass! Also concerning Super Bass, the 16ths that look like "minijacks" are actually footswitches. If you're not doing footswitches, then they end up as choppy doublesteps which is probably what happened to you.



The footswitches are outlined in purple. In this particular case, you are facing right and the up 8th note before the footswitch your left foot will be on the up arrow. Your right foot will step on down (the 16th note), and then you quickly lift up your right foot so you can get your left foot to step on the down arrow. Then your right foot steps on the 16th right note afterwards, and your left foot does a candle step on the 8th note after.

Footswitches take some getting used to in both reading them and doing them. If you don't lift your foot enough in time, you get a miss. This also makes them incredibly aggravating at higher speeds, although with the song running at 127 BPM a 16th footswitch isn't too bad.

shenjoku 02-5-2017 12:54 PM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
ohhhhhh ok. Can't believe I didn't think of that. That's probably way harder than it should be on this pad since it's pretty hard to get all the way off the sensor. I'll give it one more try and see :P

shenjoku 03-4-2017 12:54 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Played a whole bunch of Gpop3. I really need to work on my speed x.x anything above 170 kicks my ass so hard.

Fun chart :)


So fucking fast x.x


Much less fast lol


Also not as fast


A lot faster ow x.x Those jumps are rough at 195


This felt pretty ok.


So happy I passed this. 200bpm 16ths are hard as fuuuuuuuuck

shenjoku 03-9-2017 01:06 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Quite a huge improvement from last time :)


Most of the CBs were during the crossovers because I just didn't try. Was trying to conserve energy but I didn't really need to. Ah well. Just glad to pass another 13 :D


Yesssssssssss. Those 32nds fucking destroyed me though x.x

shenjoku 03-21-2017 02:09 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Crunch time at work makes finding time to play really hard x.x It's finally ending tomorrow.

Shitty score, but just glad to be able to pass this again. Those 32nds are brutal.


Nice improvement :) had a 90 on it before.


Also a nice improvement :D Finally got the 96

shenjoku 04-1-2017 12:07 AM

Re: Shen's attempt to stop sucking at dancing games
 
Sightread :) Was doing really well and then I choked hard on the anchored crossover 16th stream :( Couldn't tell how long it was since the arrows slide up and down really fast so I got way off. Don't know what the last song is but I think this'll be the next one I pass.
