DDR Hottest Party 2 Somehow You Found Me FC AA foot only.

[justusSUPERcats]

I can't do these on the mats, i have to use the arcade floors or whatever you call them, if it was like the arcade this would be cake.

I'd have a hard time on this too if I did this on a stock mat. Granted I do, but it's with some homemade edits to make it more playable at higher levels.

[justusSUPERcats]

I'm not the kind of smart person who can do that sort of thing, my best ideas have probably been socks so as not to have your feet stick to the mat

[darknight068]

I use socks myself.  Doesn't feel comfortable with bare feet IMO. That and there's the sticking issue too.

Now my homemade edit isn't really an edit to the pad. All I did was create a surface for it that'll cost less than $15 to make and it doesn't involve any electronics knowledge. The big thing is that it aids in knowing where the arrows on the pad are at all times. Overstepping is the no.1 thing that causes the pad to turn and this prevents that from happening as much.

I figured you used socks. I used feet starting out but after HP1, I went towards socks and now I feel like they're with me to stay.

@darknight068 What's overstepping?

[KnuxSonic8]

Segment from 0:57 onwards (step step jump) till the sequence of steps is annoying... Actually, all of the double steps are annoying and if it weren't for those, the song would be more enjoyable chart-wise.

400 combos! That's crazy!

Full combo? I can't believe *MY* eyes. Lol.

[darknight068]

The step step jump parts you just have to develop a technique for. Unfortunately, that's probably easier to hit on an arcade panel than on the home mats, but as you can see, it's still doable.

I'll do a hands run of this sometime later on, but if I recall correctly that only made some parts of this trickier than it already was. I dunno, I'll have to try it again.

[darknight068]

You know, looking back on it all, for all the complaining I did about quite a few of these charts, I'll give them this much. They'll really test your DDR chops. That's not to say that I've done a complete 180 in terms of thought, but there's no denying that charts like those got me better at the game.

[KnuxSonic8]

Oh, most definitely. Many charts feature advanced techniques and that in itself is very commendable. I improved thanks to HP1 and HP2 after months of playtime. Somehow You Found Me is STILL a really hard chart, IMO. It's the jumps that make this chart murder!
