How to play NX like the pros
(A Reference Guide by Justin)
This guide is more like a reference tool, I just made this to reflect on how I have improved,
The guide is crappy, imprecise and I got the sections botched up.
Enter at your own risk!
This is not meant to be comprehensive, just a little reading material to read if you're stuck on what song to play next!
All songs listed were what I've went through or are going through xD
So this is more like a chronological order than a guide, But it may prove useful, I dunno.
Okay, so you've stumbled across this machine with 5 arrows,
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO!?
If you haven't figured that out by now, please get out of the house and jump off a building. Or die of overdose.
This guide will consist of the following:
Newbie section
Beginner section
Intermmediate section
Advanced section
Experienced Pumper section(Under construction)
NEWBIE SECTION
The first thing you HAVE to know about are speed mods. Repeat after me, "speed mods," Very good!
What are speed mods? well, they make sure that your arrows aren't so cramped up that you end up dying because you can't see the space between the arrows.
Remember, generally, if you can't SEE the order of the arrows, you can't hit them. Unless you memorized the chart..
To adjust the speed of a stepchart, enter this code:
That code will remove the squeezy arrows! ;)
Repeat the code again to get different speeds.
How do I know what speed to set my songs to?
Well, that's an easy one. It all depends on the BPM.
I am not going in depth about BPM, but I'll give you a rough guide on what speed mod to add depending to the BPM.
Of course, This is not a definitive guide. It all depends on what you're comfortable with, Experiment!
Lower level songs usually require one speed mod level less than usual, So 121BPM would be 3x and not 4x
~145BPM x4 Speed
160BPM~ x3 Speed
200BPM~ x2 or x3 Speed, Your choice, I recommend x3
I Don't Wanna' Learn About Speed Mods, I WANT SONGS!
Well, here is a list of songs based on Normal mode, Adapted from PumpHaven.
It is arranged from easiest top to hardest bottom.
1) Don't Bother Me - Normal
2) Come to Me (BanYa) - Normal
3) Come Back to Me - Normal
4) Another Truth - Normal
5) Solitary - Normal
6) Run to You - Normal
7) Slam - Normal
8) Beethoven Virus - Normal
9) Winter - Normal
10) Mr. Larpus - Normal
11) Will o' the Wisp - Normal
12) Beat of the War - Normal
Once you can 'A' these songs, CONGRATULATIONS!~
You are no longer a newb.
Move on to the beginner's section.
BEGINNER SECTION
Okay, so you are no longer at the bottom of the Pump rank, what DO you DO?
Simple, get better.
Your BOSS song: Chimera - Normal
Sound scary?
It isn't.
There is a pattern to it, get used to it and it'll make your life easier =)
I have provided a stepchart for download, again, from PH. Look at the LEFT half of the video, The right half is Chimera/HD
Click here to download Chimera's stepchart.
There are 3ways for you to pass this song:
1)Download the video and play it over and over again while imagining you are stepping the arrows.
2)Same as the above but actually step the arrows, imagining the floor is a Pump pad.
3)Play the song in the arcade over and over again.
I suggest the 2nd option, that's what I did. So, do just that.
--->Straying from path
You may not ALWAYS wanna' try Chimera, well, you don't have to.
Try other songs like Typhoon - So/CZ, It is an easy song where you just have to memorize the turns.
Or Up-Up/CZ (Pop-Channel) another easy song.
Le code de bonne conduite/CZ (Pop Channel) I'm not sure about this, but you might as well try.
Beginner Songlist:
HD/LiaDZ
HD/LiaDZ2
CZ/What's Going On? (VERY Tricky, But You'll Manage)
HD/DejaVu
HD/Blazing
CZ/Love Song (K-Pop)
CZ/Up-Up
CZ/Le code de bonne conduite
Extra "Boss" Song: Typhoon - So
Once you can play Chimera on Normal,
You Are No Longer A Beginner. =)
INTERMEDIATE SECTION
GO CRAZY!
Try Out NEW CHARTS!
But Most Importantly, Learn "Matic-Movement".
Matic-Movement is basically just like walking, you Pump while alternating your legs,
Most of us SG Pumpers don't start Pump already alternating our legs.. I wonder why?
To learn more about "Matic-Movement", visit the article by clicking
here
Intermediate Songlist (Easiest to Hardest):
HD/FAEP 2-1
CZ/So
CZ/The Hybs
CZ/Don't Bother Me
HD/BotW2
HD/Moonlight
HD/Bee
CZ/Lovely
CZ/Funky Tonight
Again, What's Going On?/CZ Is A Good Chart To Play..
BOSS SONG:
Crash - Dignity -> Hard
This is tricky and tiring!
Learning Matic-Movement Will Help Out A Lot!
So, GOODLUCK!
ADVANCED SECTION
Great!
You passed Chimera And Dignity!
Now, what DO you DO?
Simple, here is another list (Again!!?):
1)MASTER Matic-Movement (If you haven't already)
2)Learn to gain "Doubles" competency
3)Pass your FIRST 
SONG! (Monkey Fingers/CZ)
4)You FIRST SONG!!
Ready?
Alright, Here's a songlist of "Doubles" Charts.
Once again, from easiest to hardest:
FREESTYLE
1)Don't Bother Me
2)DejaVu
3)Bullfighter's Song (It is easy, but the beginning is tricky)
4)I'll Give You All My Love (This is where it starts to get tricky)
5)Csiko's Post
6)FAEP2-1
7)Winter
8)Free!
9)Canon-D (This is why MASTERING Matic-Movement is so important)
10)Moonlight
11)Pump Me Amadeus
NIGHTMARE
12)DejaVu
13)You Inside My Dim Memory <--- Wahahahaha!!
And Just GO OUT And Try Monkey Fingers/CZ,
You can do it!
You Will have graduated from being an advanced player when you can play:
UIMDM/Nightmare
Monkey Fingers/ Crazy
Master Matic-Movement
Experienced Pumper SECTION
You've done it!
You're drawing in huge crowds when you play and you're certainly not a newbie anymore.
But you still have a long way to go.. (Me too, Unfortunately, I wanna' be pro!!! xD).
What to do (Arranged according to difficulty):
"Doubles" Charts:
Dignity/FS
MrLarpus/FS
LiaDZ2/FS
Single Charts:
LiaDZ2/HD
WithDoctor/CZ
Solitary 2/CZ
Chimera/HD
LiaDZ/CZ
Play Those,
There is nothing else I can tell you to do!
You are no longer a noob!
Just remember that for a Pumper, The most important things are:
Eyes, Stamina, Balance, Technique
And really fast feet.
That's what my "teacher" told me, before he left SG, now I'm in a rut.
To train your eyes, Play songs at slower speeds, Like, Normally you use a 4x speed mod,
So you play with an x3 speed mod next time. Lower the speed level by 1 and slowly master playing without speed mods.
Stamina and Balance are gained through playing without the bar as far as I know.
Technique, you'll have to play a lot and have some mental capability to get =x
Play Until You Can Play All 7 Of Those Songs consistently.
ANOTHER SONGLIST:
Final Audition 1(The Red One) / A~NM
LiaDZ / CZ
Arch Of Darkness/NM
Witch Doctor #1 /NM
Dignity / CZ
Chimera / FS
Actually, I have nothing much to put here,
It is still under construction as I have yet to improve beyond this mediocre point xD
This Concludes The Guide.
I Hope This Guide Will Help Those Who Read This!

Matic and Manual Movement
(No, Not Racing!)
If you're reading this, I assume that you were either told to come here,
Or that you were just given this blog address and are just browsing through.
First, let's DEFINE Matic-Movement.
It's like walking while Pumping.
Meaning, you alternate your feet movement as you Pump.
Like, Let's say you use your RIGHT foot and hit 
.
You now have to hit 
.
Because you are using Matic-Movement, you are alternating your feet's movements.
So.. You used your RIGHT foot just now..
That means you use your LEFT foot to hit .
Correct?
Sound confusing?
Here are a few examples,
Click one of the 2 options below.
The first option tells you what to do if you're using your LEFT foot first.
The second option tells you what to do if you're using your RIGHT foot first.
If you start a pattern with your LEFT foot ->
If you start a pattern with your RIGHT foot ->
Note: Try not to MEMORISE the patterns, all you have to do is understand the concept of 'feet alternation' and you're set to go!
It'll be hard at first, but things will get better, I promise =)

21 Reasons why I HATE small kids
by Justin, AGAIN;edited by shuxian
1) They step on your credits. (The Button)
2) They run on the pad, get hit by our legs and run to their mommies.
Their mommies think we hit them on purpose.
3) They make so much noise, you can't concentrate.
4) They go in front of the screen at times and that kills you.
5) They have stupid parents who don't offer compensation for making you waste credits.
(Refer to No. 1)
6) The lil' kids laugh at some other players I know.
7) The lil' kids laugh at me.
8) Them small brats can't Pump and they act big.
9) The rascals run all over the pad in between your games.
10)I'm not sure if the rascals wanna' be like me, or they wanna' make fun of me.
11)How they LOVE to hide behind their mommies the moment you get pissed off.
12)The way they cling on the the bars so NEAR you that you can hardly play.
(for fear of No. 2 happening)
13)When you're close to accomplishing some new shit and they just blow it by screaming "DAMN! HE'S/SHE'S
GOOD!!"
14)The lil' kids try to play and fail horribly, But KEEP GOING AT IT. (Wasting our Pump-time)
15)They don't want our help.
16)But they still wanna' be like us.
17)They grow older and think they should continue No.1 - 16 Even at age 10.
18)The dumb-asses mimic our movements horribly behind us and laugh.
19)They STILL hug the bars behind us.
20)They grow older and start playing DDR. >;O
21)THEY ARE FUCKING IRRITATING FOR HIGH PITCH VOICES! :D by xiian

Pump Me Amadeus!
Okay,
Some of you have problems alternating your legs when Pumping,
And I've recommended PumpMeAmadeus as the cure.
I just explained the basics and set you off.
What I never bothered explaining, was how to apply what I 'preached'.
I hope to fix that with this article.
