Yeah ... so anyway ...

I only use them if I am deciphering a song. And I don't use them until I've beaten the song at least.

It wouldn't feel right to me if I had beaten Bag on 2X, or 3X, or whatever ... it was more fun -- as well as accomplishing -- to beat it on 1X first, then begin to figure it out.

The same goes for songs like Leading Cyber, My Summer Love, and all those other ones. It just feels better to have beaten them. PAing them and figuring them out by spreading the arrows out can come later.

Actually, my first thought when I saw that topic was, "I liked the second movie better, and I can't wait for X3 to come out."

I waz jus wondering about the my summer love thing, it was the first cata i passed, but I really didn't consider it a cata because i put it on 2x so I kinda felt like a cheat, you know, but I guess you could consider it using ur resorces. When I am better at doing it on normal speed I will consider it a cata, but for now i don't think so. I also find it really useful when i am practicing a dance on training mode if it is way too hard i slow the speed down to like 3 and then put it on like 2x or 3x. it really helps.

Only song ive ever done with speed mods was max 300. I put it on heavy, flat, 8x, reverse, and auto-fail off. I only did it to see what i would some day amount to. It was quite scary.

Speed mods are awesome. Just the other I finally tried Afronova on 1.5x speed and it definately helped increase my PA. Normally my great count on that song is somewhere in the 20's, but with 1.5x I was able to get 12 greats on it.

Woot go speed mods.

I never understood how Solo made things easier, I donno I've used it once so I can't really judge.

I use 1.5x, but only after I've beat the song on 1x. If the person i'm playing with picks like MaxX or Max 300, i'll stick it one 1.5x Sure the pressure isn't there and it's not going down, but I still get some of the effect of when I first beat them. Oh well, in all the tournments I've been in, they don't allow mods, so I usually practice on 1x.

It helps you sight-read as your playing like blue being 1/4, red being 1/8 etc..which is why I use it.

I never look down at anybody for playing with a modified speed, it helps you to read the arrows and it's natural for those who want to improve their skills with that one song. If you need to play a song with a modified speed, I have no objection to it. Practice makes perfect.

They make almost every song alot easier, so speed mods = cheating. Same with solo mode. Regardless of what your reasons are for using them, you're usually not using them to make it harder, right?

When i use a speed mod (which is very rare) my reasons are to make it easier for me, and i know no matter how nuch better i do with them, it doesn't really count. If i AA a song with a speed mod and/or solo, i don't consider it a 'real' AA until i've done it normally.
