::Explination Of Couples Charts + Minor Update::
I was hoping that i could find an already typed up guide that would give a brief description as to what couple charts are supposed to be like and how they are played, but since I couldn't I might as well tell you here... specially for all you new-skool players that have never touched a 1st-3rd mix machine (srsly your missing out, go buy DDR for PS1 if you don't believe me).
Couples is like versus mode with a twist. Instead of going against an opponent, you actually have a partner, and instead of both players choosing different difficulties, your both set for one difficulty (although Stepmania is retarded and has it set for both players to choose their own difficulty like versus mode. Maybe the programmers should fix that *hint hint*). Both you and your partner alternate step patterns, meaning that if one side gets a hard part and the other side gets an easy part, they will both play the other person's pattern in another part of the song, and so on, and so on. Basically it's like taking turns and the spotlight gets shined on each player for a brief moment. Still don't know what I am talking about? Then howabout a visual example. I uploaded a vid of me in Couples mode (autoplay).
A few notes... 1. Excuse the minor lags, for some reason my CamStudio decided to crap out on me after an hour of recording myself playing MungyoDance3, so I'm hoping this is just a minor error I can fix. 2. Some songs like this one will end a little later after the last step. I'm experimenting with the #LASTBEAT tag. 3. All of the sm files will have a "black.png" pic as the background since all of my files will contain videos (which btw I'm re-compressing to make them a lower file size without making the quality all crappy). Besides, the video came out even more laggy after i recorded the screen with the background video on.
MONTHLY UPDATES:
Like weekly updates only they happen monthly, and by that i mean on the last day of each month. WIP updates will be a monthly thing now that way at least I can gove you guys more things to look foward too rather then little dinky updates. The other part is "Demo Vids"... the other reason why I wanna fix my CamStudio. Each moth (or two) I'll randomly select a sm file for all of you to preview the final version, so keep an eye out for that.
Other then that, I'm having a dry spell again (a.k.a lazy attack), so I'm hoping relaxing and watching the HOUSE dvd's that my sister has will cure the lazyness for a bit (its a REALLY good show, lol)
