Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less
Welcome to Stepmania University, where we aim to formalize the process of teaching a new generation of dabbling stepcharters using the knowledge of the old, bringing them to a level of sophistication that will be widely accepted by the Stepmania audience, and to a level of understanding and self-knowledge such that one knows not what works, but why. All students are welcome to attend and contribute, but you must be willing to learn.
This thread will contain general discussion, assignment scheduling and feedback, lectures and scheduling thereof. You are always welcome to submit simfiles for general feedback, either in PMs or uploaded in the topic. Our irc channel is #smu on irc.chatspike.net - join for live discussion and file sharing. If you don't have a client download mIRC LECTURE/ASSIGNMENT ZERO: Read me first!

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)
I like this idea but the problem might be that later, the student:tutor ratio will be pretty high.
Not sure whether I'm in or not. I can't really TEACH stepping, per se, I just listen to the song and do what I can. Also for some reason I can only step simple music. Maybe it's because I'm not even 14 yet. Does age have something to do with how good your files are? EDIT: About my age...basically I made this account when I was 8 or 9 and thought that breaking the age rule was cool and hip and ****. Evidence of this can be seen by my first retarded post about the Megaman song. Basically this means I wasn't legally allowed on this forum when I launched up FFR Community Pack. There, I said it. Hopefully that doesn't mean I'm retarded for that. I hope Tass doesn't see this and ban me. I'm legal now though. Last edited by moches; 04-10-2009 at 05:46 AM.. |

And for something relevant to the OP: I really need input as far as song selection. I need to diversify my genre selection yet I'm kinda still unsure as to where I should look.

Age isn't the component; skill and maturity is. You can be a smart 8 year old or a dumb as hell 18 year old.
Besides, if you don't strive now because you're 'still just a child' you'll regret it later. Maybe not at stepmania (lol) but in general for sure

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)
No, I meant that he might ban me because I've basically been an illegal forumer until May of '08. Can he do that? I mean, I am 13 now, so...
But yeah, I agree that age has nothing to do with maturity. I was just wondering if there's things in music you need to be, like, older to be able to hear because your brain hasn't fully developed yet. That could be a problem when stepping more complex music. I dunno what this has to do with U of Step, so I'll stop now. Last edited by moches; 04-10-2009 at 06:24 AM.. |

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)
@moches: I was referring to the first half of your post. anyway, he could (I've seen people do it on other sites) although it personally doesn't make much sense since there's nothing to deter. yeah there is a correlation between age and being able to process things better but some people are better at it earlier, others later, and a -big- factor of it is practicing no matter what age you are so that the skills set in
@leonid: nah lol. it would be dumb to have stepmania take precedence over the rest of your life no matter what.

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)
Btw if you're here to learn you can start as soon as you want, lol. If you have any works just put them up and ask for opinions on X or Y or the whole thing. Or you can ask general questions, I'll answer them as best as you can.

Neat idea. Like what the File Testing threads should have been, imo.
