Nekodancer! - ★High Score Guide★ |
1 | ||
Two comprehensive guides on nekodancer are provided here and here. Perfect: Highest grade for hitting a note. Is worth 1 more than Nice. Nice: Middle grade for hitting a note. Is worth 6 points at a 0-10 combo, 7 points at a 10-20 combo, 8 points at a 20-30 combo, and 9 points at a combo exceeding 30 notes. Okay: Lowest grade for hitting a note. Is worth 1 less than Nice. Oops: Occurs when you tap an arrow that does not contain a note. Is worth between -1 and -4 points (depending on your combo??), and will end any existing combos. Miss: Occurs when you fail to tap a note in time as it passes over your arrows. Is worth a random number between -1 and -4, and will end any existing combos. It is important to take into account that the notes are perfect 44x44 px squares. You may have already figured this out from the rotate powerup, before it was converted into wind. This means that the hitbox for achieving the specific note ratings will be exactly the same for every kind of note. To be more specific: Easy songs Speed Want to be able to do this all the time?
As a final word of advice: You don't need to have the best stats to be good at something. It doesn't take talent to shine. Coming first is not always the answer. Take me for example: I don't have the best stats in the game, and I don't do well in all areas of the game; but I've still made my own impression in the nekodancer community. :) Dernière modification le 1448240700000 |

You should talk about the eye level when you see the arrows. Beginners would probably be around the middle, getting more advance will shift your eye lower. and then for powerups etc. 1st time beginners would always look to upwards and rush through with the arrows. They are unaware of where to hit. thats why around the lower middle is a good place to look at. o/ More advance people will looks alittle lower to get perfects and accuracy. Constant resting is also important. Gradually you get weaker as you play for too long and you will miss tons of notes by then. Dernière modification le 1408268040000 |

I'm pretty sure this would be covered under Panic attacks, but I figured I should share some tips. One thing I happen to do a lot is start to get really excited when I see I have a high combo (and 100%), and that leads me to either go too fast or go too slow. One way I try to deal with this is trying to focus more on the arrows and less on the combo number/percentage. It can sometimes be overwhelming to know that you haven't made any errors, which can lead to being afraid of making an error. I also try to be ready for a powerup to come any time, so I won't be caught off guard while doing so. I would practice with a friend a few times, just to get more familiar with the powerups, and how to avoid making a mistake whenever they appear. I would also recommend getting to know which button means what. If you use the WASD keys, just get familiar with pressing W when you see an up arrow and S when you see a down arrow (sometimes you can get those confused, especially during hard songs). The best strategy that has worked for me is starting off with easy songs, then when I think I'm ready, I start to go to medium and so on. I'm not sure whether or not these might help you get 100%, but I hope it as least helps you get a higher score. I like the idea of this thread. |

Whoa! I like the idea! Keep up the good work! ^^ Just little tips I got from experience How to get PERFECTS: Always focus on 3 to 7 notes at a time depending on difficulty, timing is key, feel the rhythm, practice your keys, like practice how to press them, when to press them, the orders of pressing, and for hard songs, switching notes and/or jumps, and look at the notes closely for some off-placed notes, don't get too wild and press notes too fast is you see them clutched together and just focus on where you are supposed to tap them then hit it on the note, and decide if you want to tap soft or hard, (soft recommended... sorry if you want everyone to tap soft but on hard songs I could try to relax too much and tap too soft and I hit every hard song hard so I can tap faster, and it helps in getting the rhythm... trust me it helps). I'm pretty sure you could do all of these and you would do fine but... Though some songs are off timed a lot and/or not much of a song so sometimes you half to really focus on the notes and press at just the right time, you could also just turn off the volume and focus on the notes if it is distracting you (on a freestyle maybe or before the song if you know it's gonna be that way.) Have a been helpful or not? If I wasn't... sorry! If I was, your welcome. :3 Dernière modification le 1408309620000 |

Fierying a dit : Thanks for your input. I'll cover the stuff about the eye levels. I will add a section about taking breaks. reyshu a dit : All of this content I plan to cover. But thanks for placing this here, as it'll help me explain myself in the actual guide better. Lemonpowerz a dit : There is a tip that I am going to place called the one-at-a-time strategy. Personally, using 3 to 7 notes as a guide does not help me, as 7 is a bit too much. I noted down that part about off-placed notes. That will be covered in the section called "breather spots", where you can take micro breaks. There is also a strategy I am going to post about playing "by ear", and that requires the volume to be turned up. Thanks for your input. I will find time when I can to update this guide. I am a little busy with university work right now. Dernière modification le 1408320540000 |

I hit the notes fairly hard all the time using left hand on A/S and right hand on Right/Up and never get tired or even miss a note I only miss notes when i get singletap glitch*, bar glitch or lagspikes Is that normal? *singletap glitch is when you hold a note while tapping another one that will not always work when you tap it EDIT: ah damnit i didn't see the "Relaxing hands" thing.

Write something about spread and index setups. A lot of newbie pain is about wrong hand position (e.g. 3-finger wsad). |
0 | ||
Unfortunately I don't specialise in hand position or ergonomics, so I'll need some external input for that. By the way, the stuff on earning 100% is now done. I'll get to the other two sections when I have time. Dernière modification le 1408332540000 |

@Solf I actually had 1 at a time for people new to this, but then didn't sound right... so I said 3-7 notes (that I usually focus on that much at time) that you know are there, not what you should be focusing on but I made it so you would know the rate of the song and how often you could be pressing if that makes sense. I can focus on various notes and memorize the rhythm but I guess that's kinda hard for beginners I diefentally didn't mean you should be prepared to hit 3-7 notes at a time O-o... all the other stuff you said was self explanatory, and good luck on your university work! ^^ Dernière modification le 1408332600000 |

Getting perfects in this game is the single most difficult thing. I swear. |

Actually, what I did was trying to "visualize" where/when the perfect spot/timing so whenever theres an arrow coming down, I already know when to press. When u get used to this method, knowing which timing, u can or may do the fast songs with perfects If you accidently went too fast, slow down a bit. Or the reverse. If you know the timings and spot for getting perfects, u may likely to get perfects on offbeat songs too probably. And getting perfects also helps u improve on getting high combo, or not even lose a single note Dernière modification le 1408395240000 |

Lemonpowerz a dit : I actually ended up making the preparation interval 3-5 notes. So you did help me think about it. Rayzord a dit : Not sure what you're saying here, but I'll try to make sense of it. |

As a person that understands music, one thing that can help players is by listening to a lot of off beat notes. Meaning it is produced in between the usual kicks and stuff. People that do not count rhythms like those will tend to rush or slow down. |

Counting is a way to perfect when generated notes actually match the rhythm, without sudden gaps or stray notes between. Unfortunately, current generator fails to properly recognize rhythmic patterns, so a lot of songs are pretty much arrhythmic. Waiting for editor. Dernière modification le 1408384620000 |

Fierying a dit : I'll have a think about this one. You can trust the beat of the music, but not to a full extent, because of off beat notes. Rar a dit : Yeah. Counting can help a lot, so you don't get lost in a flood of notes or over/under-press a note. I'll talk about the beat generator a little, too. Again, busy with university. I'll work on the always perfect section next, since the powerups will take the longest (obtaining images etc) |

Few words about spread and index. There are 2 major ways to play DDR clones with keyboard:

Uhh well I don't want to scare the players.. plus a playing style like that isn't necessary for this version of nekodancer. Maybe when the track editor is released, I might consider adding stuff about hand position. |

Is almost impossible to get perfects while influenced on attacks. |
