Great guide, SG! I've been meaning to try solo for a while, but didn't know where to get Solo charts =\

Yeah, I saw that in the OP and am now downloading it.
Can't wait to try it :3

I know it should be kinda obvious but you should show how to keymap in a section like:
HOW TO KEYMAP FOR SOLO:
Go to Options
Go to Config/Joy Key Mapping (Or w/e its called)
Fill this in
Left=Q
LeftUp=W
Up=I
Down=E
RightUp=O
Right=P

or something
dunno
just a suggestion

I love solo. It's how I mainly play.

hey group of stars, why don't you add to that guide how to succsessfully use chords

also solo rulz it's just all about getting started then you're done

also since it seems it hasn't been said already in this thread, 6-keys mashing and 3-keys mashing is rather common so you might wanna practice with easy files before getting to the harder ones, or else you'll get craploads of boos coming from ghost stepping - ghost stepping is where you press a key on accident or because you're mashing, and if the next arrow on that same key is near enough, it will register as a boo even if you press it again at the right time. ghost stepping is utterly annoying and keeps you from getting good cb's so it has to be avoided at all costs. it usually shows up when you're hitting chords or triples or (i personally experienced) this kind of pattern:

this is how you're supposed to press it
000101
000010

this is what happens if you press it like this
000111
000010 <- boo!

this applies especially when hitting rather fast 8ths. beware.

the italian has spoken

[robertsona]

also imo you should add in a part about how it improves PR

[stargroup]

well see, I step experimentally, so I don't think there's an easy way to explain how to use chords successfully without starting to tell people how to step. I'll try and find a way to explain it but for now I'll leave it as is.

pr related discussion would be stupid because it's obvious

because pr discussion for 4 key is equally obvious, right?

[buizel8888]

It is obvious for 6 panel

just not on ffr

[stargroup100]

here's how to do pitch relevancy on singles
higher notes go toward right, lower notes go toward left

here's how to do pitch relevancy on solo
higher notes go toward right, lower notes go toward left

what else do you want me to f*cking say

[giganutsauce]

I meant that it's easier to implement PR in a solo file because there are 2 additional steps. I don't know, you've written stepmania books before, dude.

this is also what i meant
the "rules" for pr don't change, but the possibilities do.
calm the **** down stargroup it was a suggestion

BTW:



Then what made your post plausible?

Yeah you used to play DDR solo charts? I can see how that can be uninteresting but other than that your an idiot who probably just can't play solo at all.

solo is 100x better than single for a finger beat game.

btw why is your user name spelled wrong? WTF is unkown?

alsooooooo O_O random post.

[kommisar[os]]

solo is for high skilled bemani players who seek a challenge. When 4 arrows is boring and generic solo is a great way to keep the game interesting. People who hate solo because they suck and can't pass acid rain beginner should refrain from making any comments against solo, let alone play it because face it, you suck.

lonely thread is lonely
