ddr style chord cohesion ruins keyboard level play and should be removed immediately

[Patashu]

if you don't know what I'm talking about open up faxx, either puppet's for single or rebirth's for solo will do. when the constant column 1 bass jack comes up, mash all columns to the beat and you'll get marvs on everything.

here's why. stepmania's engine is based off of ddr and in ddr jumps are not judged until the last note of the jump is hit; freezes however can be hit separately from any notes at the same time as it. what's going on is that even though you hit way too many notes each chord is not considered judge until the column 1 taps catch up with it. basically you can hit as many extra notes as you want as long as you don't hit an entire chord early and whenever a constant jack on one column comes up and there are no faster note interval you can mash all columns and not have to care at all about what patterns are there.

now that I've ruined your illusions about how great a game stepmania is go petition shakesoda to take this out
