When I arrived home yester day I heard the sound of the song select “scratch” from B:IIDX and was like: “WTH?!” No, I was not going crazy, my wife was playing beginner mode. She had been playing for about 30 min and had only beat one song.

“This is crazy even on beginner mode. How can you play this… and how are you supposed to. I cannot use only one hand to hit all those buttons.” I laughed and told her that it took me a little over an hour before my fingers kind of “fell into place” with it.

I made no where near as much progress last night. I beat a few more songs , but nothing major. I still have quite a few songs where about 2/3 of the way through they just throw me with something strange or complicated then I loose my whole bar and cannot recover. It reminds me of when I was first learning hypers in Pop’n.

I was reading BBH’s reply from yesterdays entry and breathed a sigh of releif when I read it. Last night I was just “trying a few songs that were 5 and 6 stars and ran across a song called “The Strong Jaeger” (or something very similar) and thought the name sounded cool. I tried it and was just blown away with its difficulty. I decided that perhaps I needed more work in the 4 star level, so I stayed there. Then today he said that the song was more difficult than many 7 Key songs. *whew* I will probably start practice on some higher level stuff now.

So my “DJ Level” is at about B for songs I am good at (ones I like more mostly) and at a C for the rest. Lots of room to improve.
