ehh, how do you do scratches with one button?

[Blind]

What's weird is that sometimes they register so idk

EDIT: I meant scratches (title said slides)

And the weirdness seems to be when transitioning to or from a scratch to another action where you have to hold.

I think it's 'cuz my gamepad doesn't have any deadzone so it's "always" touched

Short version: You don't.

That being said, you don't need to use the analog sticks to do scratches; you can mash any two buttons on the D-Pad or the ABXY buttons, as long as you're not mixing the two groups (i.e. make sure you're mashing between up and left or X and A, and not D-left and X.)

In one of the groups of buttons are dead, flick the nearest analog stick a couple of times (left stick for D-pad buttons, right stick for ABXY), and they should work again as long as you don't mess with the sticks again.

Rotating the joystick seems to work for scratches, but it still has trouble returning to neutral so whenever there's a hold-slide or scratch that transitions into a critical - automatic failure.


edit: I mean, I'm like 35 with arthritis so I'm not expecting to S+ everything... that's beyond my physical skill cap, but I HATE when I miss one due to a technicality.

maybe I should try playing with the keyboard?

I'd recommend trying that yeah. KB is going to take some more time to get used to but it's far better compared to playing with a controller once you get the hang of it.

only part thats hard with KB (i use KB) is the double arrows when they arent straight. that
requires pressing the correct 4 keys at the exact same time for each of those notes.

does just mashing all 8 buttons at the same time work?

if you press too many buttons at once the keyboard gives you a pop up sometimes as well as no
if you press too many the keyboard wont register even 1 then and your hear a ping or something
like that through your headset/speakers.

Playing with keyboard is doable; I've seen a guy get Perfects with it; I can't say I plan on doing that myself because it feels super awkward (that, and the Xbox One buttons have a shorter gap compared to my Razer keyboard's keys.)

Just make sure you turn sticky keys off.

i enjoy playing it on keyboard myself and yea its doable just hard for those certain notes.

Wait a sec.... what about the numpad?

Can you set up diagonals that way?

[landscape]

i looked at keybindings since i havent looked at them since i first started the game answer is no.

there are only 10 buttons to rekeybind though you can keybind each key to 3 separate buttons each.

left side up, left, down, right, and "no direction press" (last one you never have a need to use. ones with no direction respond to any of the directions pressed.)
and right side up, left, down, right, and "no direction press"

left side i have as wasd and right side i have as ijkl. though you could do the numb pad, arrows,
or anything else you like also.

Does S++ require a perfect million?

no just 990,000. also i hope the new songs dont hurt your hands too much. they are brutal.
those new 14 and 15 hards hurt my hands a bit and i dont have arthritis.

Ya, the double taps that go up to what feels like 233 bpm are simply impossible for me... so I'll have to accept an A rank on normal and merely a clear on hard.

What's a perfect score on casual mode? I keep missing all the "greats" to find out (or it's something like the demo song which has weird ad libs). It seems random, like casual mode is the same scoring as normal mode only with the extra points from criticals removed.

[landscape]

never played casual sorry i dont know.

you did really well getting an A on normal.
