Hey ppl! This is my first post, plz dont flame or smthg T.T
I was wondering, since getting perfects in a row is the escence of achieving high scores, id thought a topic about that would be nice. Anyways, here are the questions:
1- Getting perfects with dance mode (pressing tab) is easier than normal bar mode? Cons/Pros of both modes?
2- Does playing audition in windowed mode affect timing?
3- Does playing with programs at the background affect timing? (Can someone post ram usage of audition im too lazy to check myself)
4- What are your methods of getting perfects? (Mental counting, tapping foot, just "feel the music", do u watch the bar???)
If you feel like saying something else, please do so!
I think thats about everything... gl hf
okok since no one is posting, ill give you my opinion:
1- i THINK that dance mode does indeed help you to get perfects. Its just a feeling i got, id say its easier... but maybe i just had a lucky 7 moment when i tried it.
Pros dance mode: Colored arrows, easier perf?
Cons: Tiny arrows, in finisher everything goes same color
2- Again, i THINK that it affects timing, and on top of that, it affects lag. I believe that the games runs more smoothly in fullscreen than in windowed mode.
3- Im pretty sure it does. When i have messenger on sometimes the gameplay gets a little bit choppy, which totally screws your chances on getting perfects
4- Well, currently im trying to do mental count, but i find its the same thing. Besides, it drains the concentration you need to get the arrows right, you might miss. I just "feel" when is the right beat of the song and press space! (Start couting 1..2.3..4 before the games starts, it helps alot IMO)
Cheers
:lol: For me tab mode maybe easier for slow songs. I'm always on window mode so I'm used to it :lol: Just lags a lot thats all. And yes, having programs opened in the background probably does affect your gameplay 'cause I always have my MSN on and when someone opens a new convo with me, i get lag hell :angry:
My method for getting perfs? :lol: I have none I really just feel the music and press whenever i feel ^^ Ooh. But i do find playing with one hand easier then two =) (two meaning one on space/ctrl and one on arrow keys)

Yay thats not heard every day!
How come??? :blink:
T_T I actually have hard times playing 1-hand when i'm on phone ... How could it be easier T_T!
:lol: I dunnot I got used to it cause the CTRL button is close to my arrow keys ^^ If its for 8-key though, then i have to use two hands =x

Yeah, I remember Burnout saying he plays like that sometimes =o. I think it would screw up my perfects though.
I've tried every meathod of getting perfs.. EVER
Counting in my head - screws up perfs AND arrows
Tapping my foot - My foot loses the beat a little as I put in 9 arrows at a time, not to mention the response time from your foot and hand aren't exactly the same which usually throws me off into greats
Hitting the arrows to a beat - Worked very well, but was still kindof chancy if I was just slightly off.
Bobbing my head - Worked pretty well, ruins concentration a bit
Feelin' the groove - Works well and still use it half of the time
Just hitting it when it feels right - Works the best usually, use this the other half of the time.

Hm i dont see the diference between those 2...
Do you see the bar when u hit space?
And please can someone confirm 1 and 2 plz????
hmmmm...anyone tried looking the the "blinking" of the "perfect bar"?
for me...>_> i looked at the blinking of that "perf" bar. when its going from blue to white, it'll "disappear" and "re-appear" at the spot to get perfect. =/
maybe this is = listening to the beat of the song? >_>
I just look at the bar and pray :unsure:
Tried the tab mode thingy and the arrows seem easier, but I have no clue when to hit space :blink:
I don't really think there's any difference between the two modes. The blink of the bar is indeed the beat. But I don't pay any attention to the bar at all, I just pay attention to the arrow and listen. I do a lot better if I don't look at the bar. For me windowed-mode doesn't affect timing at all. And like Esperanza I have a lot easier time playing with just one hand on the arrows and ctrl-key. I seem to be able to tap the keys with the beat much easier than if I'm using both my hands. Don't know why. xD

:lol: For the tab mode, you have to just listen, feel the beat and hit when you think its right
I think you'd have to get used to the music before using this mode tho :unsure:
Well, for TAB mode, you press the space bar when the "ance" part connects with the D to form "Dance".
