itt: name your weird stepmania habits

[kommisar]

I used to press my thumbs like a nervous tick when I had my keys binded to zx,.

now often I'll blink a lot if I think about it too much and lose focus

I'm left handed but its also my left hand that starts to hurt lol

[Winrar]

When I'm not smashing arrows, I'll trill my fingers on the desk or anything nearby. Now I'm pretty good at one handed trills

[_Stepdude_]

I always clean my throat before a new song. It's even in some of my vids lmao

I have the same 'bad habit' xD

[VisD]

I tend to slam keys much harder if they're the last notes in a segment of a song, especially if they're relatively loud as compared to the rest of the song. That could be why my fingers are hurting now

[DefTeaMachine]

I hit the keys with my fingernails.
my unused fingers start stretching and cramping going out in the opposite ditrection as the ones i use and i painful.

[i love you]

Everytime I open up stepmania to play a file, my mind auto thinks about blinking so I had to train myself to blink a lot while at the same time keep focus and now, I am used to it and it became a habit for every other rhythm game I play. It is a good way to not have to worry about blinking LOL

Oh and I lean back like a G

[- ...]

I used to have this really bad habit where I'd crack my knuckles between songs.

[Arntonach]

I hit compacted scale notes as a single note & I tap my foot along with the music.

This so much. lol

This isn't a SM habit but it derived from it. Whenever I listen to songs irl on my iPod or something like that I ghost tap the entire song on a table or my leg or whatever flat surface there is without even thinking about it. I also almost always tap my foot with the beat of a song and it throws me off a lot.

[Frenegade]

I can't use my index fingers for SM at all, so I use middles and rings.

I mash during the ridiculous trills.

And I tend to like files that I would never listen to outside of SM.
