Practice songs in prep for Pants

**DDRMXT** · 07-11-2016, 12:27 PM

Anyone know of any good songs to practice (technique wise) that would help me to better play the level 80 song Pants? Im really not good at 16ths/32nds followed by double notes (hands? is that what there called?)

PS: I've been playing this game for quite some time and not once have I took time to check the "proper terminology" for the various "techniques" in this game lol.

That is called "jumpstream" and is prevalent in many files from 70 and above.

EDIT: In case you feel so inclined, here's the FFR Picture Dictionary, describing patterns such as jumpstream and many others.

sup, there's a heap of introductory jumpstream charts in the 66-70 range that could help prep you and build some muscle memory.
Makiba, Desire Drive, Southern Cross, Saffron City, S.E.B in B.E.D, Bird Sprite are just a few that come to mind, there's dozens more.

experiment and try playing unplayed songs in the 66-76 range and I'm sure you'll find patterns that will help you improve.
If you find those files too slow compared to Pants there's some faster alternatives like Azul, Shitsubou Choco or the Simpsons theme that are more in the difficulty range of Pants. Good luck

I think what hasn't been mentioned yet is that some of the jumpstream patterns in Pants are pretty weird and awkward. For what I would consider awkward jumpstreams, play Exciting Hyper Highspeed Star.

You could just isolate from 1650 on Pants and do the hard part over and over until you find a way to do it comfortably.
