HOW TO DO CROSSOVERS

[g4z33b0]

Seth, you think double stepping is easier then crossovers? I double step 4868 usually, and rarely at other times. I always play bar, and I just go one-hand on crossovers, pretty much solves the problem.

Raikou - on 4268624268, I go 4-L 2-R 6-R 8-L 6-R 2-L 4-R 2-L 6-R 8-L

Best for me, because it's only one double step.

And Can't Stop Fallin' In Love is an EASY AA, one of the first I ever got.

Crossovers are very fun and are a lot easier to do than double stepping I think. I crossover on both LDRDL and LURUL and vice versa. I've implemented the crossover style in all my simfiles. They're just so fun! If you're new to learning how to do crossovers, some examples of songs that I've noticed are Spin the Disc, V, Can't Stop Falling In Love (Speed Mix), and Jet World to name a few. I also noticed that Drop Out has crossover jumps which were pretty interesting.

sync (the song) on heavy is a good way to learn crossovers since it has repetative simple 123, 123, LDR, RDL, LUR, RUL patterns.

+ what also helps is to turn your feet as sideways as you can towards the direction you're moving.

As in if you're doing a LDR crossover you want both you're feet to be pointed to the right and doing that requires less movement of your whole body so its easier + less draining. For a LUR crossover (under) you want your feet to be pointed to the left and hit the R arrow with your heel.

some songs are impossible if you dont do crossovers. Well either you do them or triple step or do an awkward double step. i would love to see a vid of bloodrush pass doing no crossovers.

Actually I've seen a kid who 99.02ed bloodrush infront of me without using crossovers. His feet are literally size 19 or somethin like that and he just heel toes the turns, which actually isn't all that uncommon. But normally it's better to learn crossovers. One-handing the bar sometimes and pivoting your feet so that theyre in the direction where the pattern is turning you helps a lot.

I'm insanely good at crossovers on DDR. It isn't that hard to adapt to it if you think about it and take your time on learning how to do it on easier songs.

[Engler]

ooh look at all the pretty bumps.

[falcondude]

Bumps? This is a sticky...

Hella late sorry.

I learnt crossovers now. The best way I learned them was on standard Butterfly. Pretty cool crossovers that can turn you whole 360.

An awesome song to progress with crossovers I found is Cyrosleep on ITG.

cryosleep has 0 crossovers unless you start on your left foot for 1 short stream near the end lol. i dont count 8th notes as crossovers cause you can cheat them no problem

songs to play on itg that will help crossovers=
funk factory
oasis
bloodrush
boogie down
mythology
soapy bubble

few of the many

[dore]

^^The Beginning

It incorporates pretty much every crossover pattern other than backwards turns into the streams.

forgot about that! i whored that till i got better at crossovers. im still meh at them but way better then before. my friend got 96 on mythology double stepping the end....wtf

[dore]

I end up doing one doublestep in Mythology on that retarded pattern that you have to start out crossed over (a la PSMO), it's 24268486 or something like that. I always do that backwards and have to doublestep to be able to do the rest of the stream on the correct foot.

lol ya that would be like impossible.
even "the beginning" would be impossible without doing the crossovers. lol

I use the bar when I crossover or under pretty much every time, especially on stuff as fast as bloodrush, the key is to use your heel on the 486 684.

kevbo rox at bloodrush. especially his latest vid. he got a 99.87 on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io_-7nZ-3Nc

[D!LL]

I hate that ****ing song.
The slow down is total BS! ><

[thepondermatic]

Slow arrows are win. Zodiac on 1x speed FTW!

...of course, this is from someone who has practically 0 PA... XD

*ahem*

Cross-overs are win, yes. Spins always trip me up (pun intended) unless I double-step them or they're really slow, though... =(
