In the beginning, I think I learned the most from Orion on DDR Max. It was a very difficult song for me but I really liked it, so I kept trying. It helped me get down really fast 1/8 note combos, especially. Neverending Story really helped me with crossovers. Kick the Can did too.

Can't Stop Fallin in Love (Speed Mix) - taught me the key to nailing the fast songs -- flex your knees a bit so you are in a slight squat as you dance.
This lowers your center of gravity. The fast songs become much easier because your body stays someone centered but lets your legs move. This also makes the fast jumps easier. (And strengthens those quads!)

And what, pray tell, skills did MaxX Unlimited help you learn? That teaches you how to keep your eyes from bleeding. And yeah, Kick the Can is crossover free. Even on Double you never have to pass one foot across the other. That does not mean that you can't, but it means that you are not footing the song in the most intuitive way. No real damage done. |

No real damage done. it's more of moving your feet so much and so crazy you don't pass out.  |

I guess I got mixed up on what you were calling "crossovers". After reading a few more posts I realized that I meant "double-stepping". Sorry - still trying to learn your DDR lingo.

No Double-Stepping either. That is the thing where you step on two consecutive arrows with the same foot. Usually it is not double-stepping unless the steps are really close together, like 8th steps at Kick the Can's speed. In Kick the Can, you can simply alternate feet through the entire song.
I really can't think of what you could be meaning to say. Kick the Can is known for its fairly lengthy streams, but otherwise there is nothing difficult about the stepchart.

Kick the Can: L R L R L R L R L R. Then, L R L R L R L R. Easy Peasy! Easy peasy once you've moved on to bigger and harder songs, but quite the accomplishment when it's the first heavy song you've passed. If you're not used to 8th note streams, it can be quite daunting (and rewarding) to face that song. It runs through a lot of the standard four arrow combinations, and makes a good trainer for reading 8th runs. /looks at SheScreamed Claudio's post count I know why... Congrats on your 1000th post. |

I learned the most from Butterfly I was having huge trouble coping on Light when i started, but was soon doing Heavy butterfly which teaches you how to read more arrows as well as more jumps and easy double steps. After that, my first Heavy song was Abyss. Good for practising Streams if you're a noob. Dam Dariram teaches a lot about focusing on the rhythm, and a tiny bit about crossovers and gallops. Tsugaru Apple Mix is where the gallops are at. |

How is it possible to remember what i learned from? I went from Remember You light to orion.78 light pretty quick, then after about 2 weeks total of playing i could A peace-out on heavy, then about 2 more weeks i was doing Sana Mollette on 1x heavy and getting near full combos, then about a month of cardio training and stuff i could A orion on heavy.
Working with music and beats helps a lot when it comes to playing DDR etc, most people think they just hit the arrows... people who have played a while or go into the game knowing a lot about music learn fast. i have friends on hard mode on pump it up who still focus on matching the arrows. They just wont listen! Follow the beat!

my first song that i ever did was i do i do i do because of the fact that legend and i only have played a few songs like crash and speed over beetoven until we got the home version, anyways i could only do it on light with a c.then it went up to the next week with a A.
legend then moved to standered and we new more songs.about a week later i to was there.
he moved to heavy i moved to heavy bla bla... you get the point however i cant really say i learned the most from?
