Nintendo DS Rhythm Heaven "Back Front (Lockstep)"

[soufitron]

I'm sure about this: Lockstep 2 is much easier

[DollarTaco]

I've always wondered something... Who are the two men that appear near the end of the song? Are they Bachs? if so, is the classical sounding music near the end a reference to that?

[olip96]

I think it's my favorite minigame =)

[luckyx777]

Just started playing this level, and I can't even get past practice. Heck, I don't even know what a "backbeat" is.

[xaioFTW]

@luckyx777 lol, i didn't know eigther, this is the SECOND song i had to get the barista to beat for me.. the first was that ghost rock band....

but when you hear the guy goin "hup hup hup" GET READY, WHEN HE GOES "haw haw!!double tap.  then your on the backbeat, .. when he goes "hehaw hehaw hehaw hehaw" at the last hehaw, tapone quick time like when you entered that backbeat, after that you should hear him say "Hup!" which means you back on the main beat. i love this game so much!!

[lucyseptembear8]

all you have to do is tap but yet it's STILL hard

[naruto15ist]

its actually called lockstep

[Samxfaith]

this one is my favorite! if you know how to switch to offbeat, this game gets really fun and easy. :)

[KikieAngel]

This part was the third hardest for me it took me a while to figure out how to change sides but it was funny when he was slapped around I couldn't get a superb but i finally got the hang of it now (it bcame my favorite)

[Mantis47]

This was the only stage where I had to close my eyes to get it right. The screen only distracts you.

[shiroi201]

wow thanks for the tip it really was easier. though i didn't get a superb (is this how it's called in english? i'm from germany XD the gold rank anyway XD) i got the feeling it went smoother. munchy monk is also a game where you best close your eyes

[xaioFTW]

@shiroi201 ROFL on munchy monk, it's as simple as this: it's kinda hard to get superb, but if you miss two, you'll still get superb.that game is the easiest game on there.

[kirby0cake]

This is the hardest game for me! I am not good with the changing music. I can't get it right, so this is the first game I'll probably go to the cafe for :(

[placeboing]

this is my favorite rhythm heaven stage

[Superpivotier]

mimi4sure@

when you do the switch, you're meant to double tap.

[mimi4sure]

Help! I still don't see how you suppose to switch back in forth when he goes ha haaa?

[IamMrsRZ]

FREAKIN LOVE THIS GAME!!

[OMG26]

Thanks soooo much for this! Ive bin stuck on the off-beat thing for forever now.

[Bubblysaur]

Dammmn, the screen for this is so annoying. If you ignore it, then I guess it's a bit easier.

[TheVecan]

I hate this stage

[SweetyMisaMisa]

Sugoi! (*O*)/

[TallyRedHeart]

i absolutely LOVE this game! i have all 50 medals now XD yesh!

[charlotteist]

wow! i only need the medal of Rhythm Rally and remix 8. so difficult!

[SayuriReikuDesuu]

LAWLZ! A face appears! i think is benjamin franklin

[mariopartylover10]

To ColourfulCrayonz :

thank you so much for this tip!!

[Sommeil22]

I'm a French horn player - and if anyone knows anything about 99.998% of the marches for wind band/ensemble, that would explain why I am flawless on the offbeats ;)

[MsUndeniableSax]

i knw give u a hi 5 u knw u one step below sax playr!!!

[ColourfulCrayonz]

TIPS TO FOR BEAT TRANSITION:

When it goes:

Ha ha ha ha-haw you double tap on the ha-haw and then continue tapping as the normal beat and it should turn back-beat.

The other way round?

Oh-ha Oh-ha. Tap twice on the second Oh-Ha ;] Hope this helps.

[karuhaki]

how to do the offbeat??

[kenny4life96]

ppl i need help on this! i can transitition from onbeat to offbeat but not the other way around, any tips?

[chocokudos]

i love this

[donnyf88]

HATE!  this mini game

[Gerorgunsou]

This was really hard for me

[culuspeedy]

Hai Hai Hai Ha Haw!!!!

[dimedropper1992]

its basically on and off beats........

being a percussionist and having to practice steady beats made this game not so hard

[ShantiIly]

Hai hai hai PA PA YUP YUP YUP M-ha... M-ha... HAI

[Samxfaith]

This takes some practise, but its really easy if you know how it works. =)

[kmj2000]

You've got to double tap real quick at the cue to get on the right beat.

[ipaqmaster]

its kind of easy if ya ignore the pictures of faces that u make XD

[MoonLitCat13]

OH MAN, this was the hardest EVAH!

BUT i got the cue right, now im alright at it ;3

[MAYAVIKINGA]

im geeting the game in 10 minnutes!!!!!!!!

[shigshwa]

HA HA HA HAHOI!

[BlazedTiger671]

i can never get a superb here even though I perfect it!

[Music4HSM]

HAY HAY HAY PAPA.

[wayneinbelfast08]

its tooo confusinsssssssss i still canni do it grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrr

[MalcolmKratz]

TOK TOK TOKTOK TOK TOK!

[FrozenFenrir]

in the europe version its called "offbitz"

i like that name kinda more than "lockstep"

dunno why

[HumDog]

it took me forever to even get through the training of this game. my brain just couldn't get around it. now i'm a mastah! <3

[SnaffleJBean]

Wouldn't the name be "Left Right", not "Back Front"?

[farfansilluo]

The screen just make a discraction with the faces

[tingalingling813]

This is the mini-game that I am absolutely horrible at

[kaimisawesome]

no worriez i sucked horribly at it too... i was stuck in the practice for 10 minutes till i finally realized what the cue was when switching to the offbeat

[piplup10203854]

lockstep cool name :]

[bojack69]

Man! for some reason, I was stuck on this one for awhile! I couldn't switch from offbeats to beats that easy until I seen this vid. So thanks for showing me.

[thisisntagoodname]

I should show this game to my fellow French horn players who seem to suck at upbeats. XD

[Hurricaaane]

Almost makes me remind the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games of last year.

[abc2390986]

Agree

[Ekalmid]

Also Agree

[Darkhogg]

At first this level is hard, once you pass it, it's one of the easiest...

and the 2nd is even easier: slowlier and with practise in this...

[JapanCommercials4U]

By any chance, can you tell me who the guy who randomly comes up on the screen at the end is?

[ChibiVegito]

Dunno, but the person's face reminds me of one of those classical composers--just with an afro on his head.

[JapanCommercials4U]

Do you have a video of the second one?

[VigorBalloon]

This stage is hard, until you get the beat down. I have a medal on both stages, but had a heck of a time just trying to pass it.

[innogal]

really? I think this is one of the easier stages... Personally I try not to pay attention to the top screen since it gets distracting.

[VigorBalloon]

This level is easy now, I even have a perfect on it, but I had trouble at first.

And that random face made me screw up on the first time.

[maxsayo]

ya know i think this game is made in such a way where you dont even have to look at the screen to play. i managed to do some of these song without looking at the screen.

[Crash22203]

Because the whole point of the game is to listen to the rhythm and tap (or slide) at the right time.

You don't need to look for LockStep

[maxsayo]

or any of them for that matter.

[MushroomBoy64]

How about Shoot-em-up? I can play the endless version with my eyes closed. ;)

[parchesi]

fuck trhis level is haard

[A47A47]

I think this is one of the easiest stages to get 'high score' or 'perfect'.

[rd649]

@A47A47 where did you get those see through ds pens? that i've seen in a few of your vids?

[BrandonSausage]

@parchesi It's really that I can do it without looking!

[BrandonSausage]

@BrandonSausage easy

[gamer2774]

erm, whose face is that on the screen at one point in the game?

[bebekmahal]

this stage frustrate me so much i almost throw my ds

hahaha

[Motorbass303]

This stage brought my love back towards the game. I played it about 20 times in a row even after I golded it.

So sweet!
