For some reason when i play anything with crossovers i trip over myself if i flatfoot. I can do it on the balls of my feet, how can i stop tripping over myself?

mayb u dont gotta worry so much bout the flat footed thing when u do cross overs. i myself play doing what u do with cross overs cuz its much more efficient.

dw it dosnt make u look noobier or anything. most good players use the balls of their feet for cross overs or for any other tricky kinda steps.

that or u can twist ur whole body the way the cross over points so u can jus look like ur steppin forward real quickly to and fro, then twist ur self bak.

hope this helps

I started playing about 2 months ago at the arcade. I used to trip over myself alot when doing crossovers. Everytime I attempted max 300 I would trip myself up and fail the song. Once I got into the routine of twisting my waist it got much easier. Now I can do it with little movement from my waist. And since I beat max 300 I stepped up to standard now!

I've gotten a bit more used to crossover (I Double-Step them actually) but now i'm trying to reduce my Speed-Mod usage..
Any tips for reducing it? I use 1.5-2 for almost any speed.

Unless he wants to get good without speed mods and play Challenge mode where he can get like, 6 to 9 songs a game and piss the other people off

In the long run, you earn more money winning tournaments.

My problem right now is my stamina and speed. This is whats happening right now..

Paranoia Survivor - Able to get to the death stream, too tired to twist and move legs fast enough to finish it.
MAX 300 - Can't move legs fast enough to hit all the notes.
MAXX Unlimited - Same as MAX 300 in the fast streams.

I have been practicing high-paced songs like CSFIL Speed Mix, Matsuri Japan, and Paranoia Rebirth to try and get my speed and stamina hopefully up, but nothin seems to help so far.

Pyro: Considering your Max 300 and SMMM scores, you could pass Unlimited without too much trouble.

SMMM Oni is a high end 10. You don't want to try that just yet.

Paranoia Respect isn't that bad until you get to the death run. There aren't lengthy streams, but there are crossovers and doublesteps forced by freeze arrows.
