I did pretty bad overall on the song but whatever. Good enough in the tournament.

lmao that's awesome. I'm pretty confused, why does that work exactly? do PIU holds not require you to tap at the start of each one?

crazy that you can just hop on over to spread and beast SMO against Laggy and others. definitely post some non-terrible scores sometime... or more Pump videos

In PIU, you'll often see two techniques of holds. If a hold has no steps before it, then you can put your foot down and not be forced to step on it with proper timing.

PIU alleviates this in some situations by having two very very close steps, one being a tap and THEN a hold IMMEDIATELY after it, which you don't have to step on a second time. The first tap forces timing, in essence. Combined with a lot of turns/crossovers, these are considerably more difficult.

In Sikraiken's case, Crashday's holds are just free holds with no taps on top of them, which is why he was able to just hold the four corners and not move.

gotcha, thanks for the explanation! seems a little goofy in the context of that notechart. I guess most players wouldn't think to hold all of the corners though. funny stuff.

How come SM anti-cheat failed? I'm out of the loop on this one lol

I had a couple legendary screens from way back in the SMO days...minutes after Keyboard Collab III came out everybody jumped on SMO and we played the entire pack from start to finish, a lot of people came and went but I think there were 25+ ppl in total who played for a while, many of which were really good at the time. Of course, this wasn't 'The Golden Age' of SM as all the ODI ppl used to call what Stepmania was like back in 2003 or whatever. To me they all sounded like a bunch of Vietnam war vets sitting around a card table sharing stories from 'the glory days' whilst simultaneously jacking each other off...but that my friends is another story.
