ITG? Yes! Skills? You decide. [UPDATE with Charlene etc.]

Yo.

I doubt you remember me but anyways... I had posted here a few keyboard Stepmania brags several months ago - check them out if you want [EDIT: Oh wait, the images aren't online anymore, never mind.]. I haven't really played any kind of rhythm games with my fingers since last spring and now, as you might have for some reason expected, this 'brag' is about pad playing and more precisely ITG.

My introduction as a pad player (quoted from my groovestats profile):

A Finnish high school student. Got ITG on PS2 in mid-July, have been playing DDR (StepMania on PC) with a pad, as opposed to keyboard playing, on and off since August 2003 though. I play on a sucky TX2000+ pad by the infamous Third Party and use no bar. I also play on the balls of my feet, because I like to play ineffectively like that, burn calories and shape up my calves. :I

On with the show, here are the screenies I thought could be worth of posting here even though the elites can beat these with their facial hair. BTW, the first one, Anubis, is more than a week old, but that Disconnected Hyper score I got just maybe two hours ago.


For me this is a good FA and I guess this was my third tri-star ever. I never have the patience to whore stuff in pad playing either so I was satisfied with this being my first try too.


Geh, it was the pad. Really. The right arrow doesn't function properly and gave me that decent and at least other one of the greats. One great and bad were only me so I guess this percentage would be 97.57% then. Posted mainly because of the FA, the steps are really easy for a 9. :/

So yeah, I'd appreciate any kind of comments you feel like giving. Oh, I did mention that I don't actually use the bar and that's the case but I really don't have anything against playing with the bar. I guess I'll do it eventually too when I get better because so far I haven't even cleared any 11's on ITG. I too hate narrowminded "1x nobar olol" people if they're intolerant when it comes to other playing styles. I play mostly just for fun and exercise, but wouldn't mind a little competition every now and then and that's the only reason that makes me question my own playing preferences.

Bleh, loads of useless text, hope you guys can keep on topic better than I did. ;)
