Do like use modifiers on DDR?

I use 1.5x on almost everything. Every once in a while, I'll actually mod something to make it more challenging, like So Deep on Flat, 6-modding an easier song...

...Drop Out on Stealth. *Runs*

my people are so spoiled with mods that makes songs easier (speed mods to be more blunt.) back in the days of 4th+ (man i sound like and old man...) we played with songs so freaking slow it's not even funny... like Orion sheit man took me a while to read those freaking steps, and drop out damn that was a fast song the ending usually kills me but now it's nothing even without mods, you know why BECAUSE OLD SCHOOL IS WAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER THAN NEW! werd up!

I mostly read 300-400 on DDR.

I usually play with 3x on DDR and ITG unless the songs have a high BPM. If they do I'll play on 2.5x (ITG) or 2x (DDR). I play DDR SuperNOVA with Rainbow, and ITG with Metal or Robot. That's it.

I feel like I've been spoiled when I go from ITG to DDR.

My common mod setup on ITG would be something like 4x/5x, Overhead, 65% Mini, Cel; my setup on DDR is basically 2x, Solo/Note.

Is there a problem that people will stop using Note/Solo and fail miserably? I stopped and now I go by note position. It's not as hard as you think you 1.5xSolo-ers.

I've competed and held my own in a 5th mix Tourney (In fact, I seeded first), and I can honestly say because of that, I can read x1 decently when I wan to. (I ended up 4th, though technically 3rd and 4th were tied really.)

That being said (And I said it so people wouldn't accuse me of merely relying on speed mods as a crutch) I use speed mods all the time. I read anywhere between 250-450 in DDR. OCCASIONALLY I'll read 480 (MaxX Unlimited and Sakura x1.5), but only when I'm really trying to do well, and really only for those 2 songs.

I play Solo on Extreme and Note on SN, though obviously since I've played 5th I can deal well with Default/Vivid.

Summary: I'm a new schooler that trained myself in old school ways just in case the occasional old tourney showed up in my area.

Honestly, I find it very hard to read the arrows without speed mods.
I usually use 1.5x or 2x.
Don't get me wrong, I can do songs without speed mods but it's very hard for me to read the arrows when they are so close together.

I've honestly never used mods. If I have trouble with reading a song, I'll just repeat it til I get it....

I'm at the point where I can play the 280+ BPMs at 1.5x and the 150- BPMs at 3x. Solo doesn't help that much once you learn the basic "feel" of the song timing.

Speed mods + solo = good PA results. Well for me it does.

I don't use any mods. Well, sometimes I use solo 'cause it looks neat.

About bag, I think the best way to learn that song is to listen to someone play it. Then the timing clicks and it doesn't really matter how slow it is.

Let's just not mention Bag. Bag might "click" if DDR rendered triplets correctly. The more of an audio player you are, the worse you'll do, and honestly, that's messedup, ESPECIALLY since it already messe up the visual players.

Bag has problems.

When i'm learning a new song i bump it up to around 300-350 BPM. Like i tried Orion 78. (AMeuro Mix) today for the first time, i had it on 3x. Next time i'm gonna drop it to 2x.
