Trouble with runs

Fast runs in songs give me a lot of trouble I am noticing the runs in Destiny and Utopia especially give me trouble. How do I get better at these types of runs?

Practice. That is the answer to every question involving improvement.

Fleadh Uncut is a pretty good song to practice long 16th streams in. They are pretty straightforward patterned runs, and can probably help with 16th runs

I mostly have trouble with really fast runs though. They are REALLY hard to read and step fast enough o_O. I'm not really a bar user either,which probably makes things harder.

Play songs on difficulty 9/10/11 that have runs at a comfortable speed for you (140?), then play a song with a higher BPM, ~5-10 higher, and keep going. Just do this for a while, it might help you out.

As for reading, just change your speed mod faster/slower if you're not a mod nazi, or go faster with Mini on.

Speed mod up to 3x, 4x if you can read it.

I recommend Pepto Bismol.

The answer is:

- Play songs with slow runs and then progressively work up to Summer Speedy speed.

How to do this:

- First master the runs of Solina
- Then master the runs of Fleadh Uncut
- Then master the runs of VerTex Hard
- Then master the runs of Temple of Boom
- Then master the runs of Energizer Hard
- Then master the runs of Xuxa
- Then master the runs of Utopia
- Then master the runs of Pandemonium Hard
- Then master the runs of Hardcore Symphony
- Then master the runs of Destiny

This list assumes you have good stamina and no footspeed. If you have NO stamina and no footspeed, well then you shouldn't be trying songs like Destiny should you?

Don't play ITG when you have the runs. I saw one kid do that... it was bad...

EDIT: Oh... RUNS. ok. yeah, go with that ascending list that was posted Solina through Destiny.

Try doing songs that have fast drills like in LotR, Ride the Bass (hard), then Disconnected to build up foot speed. Then go for the swarms.

Dont ever post in a thread unless its in the first page. And if its even in the bottom half of the first page, dont post in it.

These threads were made a long time ago, and nobody cares about them anymore.

But no one would have posted in this thread had he not bumped it.

I'm sorry, but it just seems really ironic for someone bumping a thread to be criticizing someone else for bumping a thread.
