If don't miss any dot things, but get 50 point ones I still fail.

Yeah, it was, or maybe just because I was better by then or something.

Funny thing is, right after that, I beated the song on the third difficulty for the only time in a year.
Thing is, is that I wasn't having troubles with missing the bubbles. I was able to hit them, it was just the ranking bar was an asshole and it kept dropping, only a perfect elite beat 300 would let it stay in the same spot. Jackss game.

If you go to Settings, then machine options, there is a setting called "judge difficutly" it defaults on 4 so if you didn't know about it until this point, it is prolly set to 4. It goes from 1-8 and then one higher to judgement. i112.photobucket.com/albums/n200/IzzySM_2006/timing9fq-1.pngthis is the number of milliseconds required for each window. marvelous is actually .0225 seconds or less and all the others are derived from judge 4 (simple multipliers, so judge 7 is half judge 4, judge 8 is 1/3 and justice is 1/5) Post script: If you want to be mean to someone, you can change it to judgement and they will often think their keyboard/game is broken. |

Jamaican Patty, what sensitivity do you play at? That was the part of your sentence that I didn't understand. Who the fuck calls Judge "sensitivity"? everyone plays judge 4. anyone who posts bullshit j1 scores are banished from the stepmania community and have no stepman redemption. people who play j7 have to be midare or cetaka. It doesn't work. There are ways to bypass it which is why no one uses it anymore. |

Stepmania is open source, so there is really no way to stop cheaters.
Sensitivity is the best generic term i could come up with for judge difficulty (how sensitive it is to you being off).
And i have played judgement (still can't do theleast333) however i stick mostly to Judge difficulty 6 since then you have the entirety of one frame at 32fps to hit for a marvelous [assuming the frames are syncd up, which they arn't, but i still like the idea of it]. I don't know for sure that is the frame rate, but i took a guess and went with it. Anything over and you are going purely by sound rather than by image and sound combined.

More like learn to adjust to your keyboard delay and file offset to you don't even need to configure Stepmania in anyway other than changing themes, speedmods and noteskins. Every keyboard has a slight delay to it therefore playing on different keyboards makes your MA (accuracy) differentiate. All Stepmania players can only play on certain/specific keyboards, otherwise you get shit scores. The frame rate in which Stepmania runs at should have very little impact on gameplay unless your computer is absolute garbage.
Anyone that plays on J4 or higher only play J7 to train up their MA. It works for some people while others (like me) just play easy files until you learn how to differentiate what registers as a marvelous or perfect. Nobody plays J5 or J6 because it doesn't help improve your MA much and since nobody else plays on those two, you can't compare scores with other peoples'.

Well since you will never achieve the top scores without excessive practice to the point that stepmania starts being a job rather than a source of entertainment (and even then, you would just be beaten by a macro user with good video editing skills), it doesn't matter that no one players at those difficulties. You play to improve your own scores based on the proportion of the maximum you could get. I really don't see why you think playing the game for anything other than direct competition is meaningless.
Also, if you want the image to mean anything, frame rate does matter as you boost the judgement level up, unless i'm wrong and computers run step mania at 106 frames per second, in which case could you please varify that it does run at 106 frame pers second, because i would really like to see that.

I'm pretty sure I remember it running at a ridiculously high framerate for me.
