If you want to find your bpm limit, go into the editor, and find a free spot on one of the stepfiles or make a new one, w/e. Enter a very very long trill of some sort as 16ths, and then set the bpm.

To make it easier you can hold shift to select a portion of arrows. Then hit enter, and copy it...so then you can keep pasting them. Hit end every time you hit paste to move to the end.

Once you have at least 25 bars of arrows go at it.

In theory you'll be able to 'do' more than your limit...do as in pass. This is because you don't need to hit all the arrows to pass a song. It also depends on the pattern, but a trill is a good way to find out how fast your fingers can really move.


Rules:

To make this a standardized measurement, you have to be able to go 10 bars for this test without missing more than a few (meaning a number you could count on one hand). If you're missing more than that you can't handle it...and if you can't go 10 bars you can't handle it either. Also, if you start hitting doubles your run does not count.

10 bars we'll call your 'limit'. 25 bars can be your 'comfort zone'...I.E. how fast you can hit the arrows comfortably without strain.





Edit: Some of you are wondering about how to use the editor.

Step 1: Open SM.
Step 2: Go to edit/sync songs
Step 3: You'll see a yellow cursor/arrows around the banner at the top. This is the song folder/group. From here if you hit down, you can press left or right to change the song. What you really want to do, is go down two more to difficulty.
Step 4: Once on difficulty, scroll left or right and look for a blank set of feet. If they are all used you will have to select another stepfile. Keep doing this until you get a blank set, and then hit enter.
Step 5: Now you're inside the editor. 1234 set your arrows, and you use the arrows keys to move up and down in the editor. Press right 3 times to make your cursor yellow for 16th notes. Press 3 on your number keys to make an up arrow, and then press down and then 2 to make a down arrow. The arrows should be red/yellow/blue/yellow, because they're 16ths. Keep doing this trill until you get down a full bar (it'll say 2 on the left side).
Step 6: Go back to the top, hold shift and then press down until you get to the end of the bar/trill. It should be highlighted. Hit enter, and then copy. Now hit enter, and then paste.
Step 7: Hit end (on your keyboard), and then paste. Keep doing this until you get to bar 25.
Step 8: Hit home to get back to the start. Now you can change the bpm right here by pressing F7 and F8. The bpm is displayed in red on the left.
Step 9: Before you go, hit escape and go to player options so you can get your scroll rate. After this you're ready to test your limit.
Step 10: You can save this stepfile, by hitting escape and then save. However, remember the songs ORIGINAL bpm (the bpm before you changed it). When you're done ****ing around, change the bpm back to what it was before and hit save so the stepfile isn't screwed up.

Tip: You'll want to turn off the sound for this test since changing the bpm will desync the song.
Tip 2: If you open up the blank set and there are steps inside, hit escape, play whole song, escape, enter and then cut to erase the steps.


Phew

I'm pretty sure you can't do 300.

Make sure you follow the 10 bar, maximum of 5 misses rule, with no doubles allowed.

My comfort zone is 265-270. Limit is 290-295.

I can A Reality (I know cheesy) with easy. So that's like 255 or something. And I was 12 for a long time and nobody seemed to care.

Max 300 is only 8th notes, so that is 150 bpm instead of 300 according to the rules of this test.

I'm probably going to go try and use Reach's suggestion. Depending on the trills, I could probably go pretty fast.
198.96 - Left/right
190 - Up/down
Bleh.. Too lazy to do the rest.
Stupid hand.

Why are trills used to determine limit? What about jacks or random stream?

jacks are much different than trills. I can't really explain how but it's just not determened that way.

Jacks are much different than moving both your hands quickly.

Also, a random stream is more than just a test of speed. It is a test of how well you can handle the pattern at hand. Anyone can do a trill, so it's a fair test. It also makes you alternate between your hands on each arrow, so you can really see how fast you can go.

p.s. gaussian blur 2 isn't 221 bpm. it's 215. the only part where it's 221 are 2 or 3 measures at the end of the last stream.

My comfort zone is probably like 235 bpm then =/ I'm not that great at trills. Limit is probably around 260.

My stream limit though is around 310 I think.
