In The Groove - Strategy Guide (Page 02)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for In The Groove - Strategy Guide (Page 02).
KEEP PRACTICING!
Get ready to relearn ITG all over again as you branch out towards the second
pad.
First of all, it'd be best you get good pads for this. Soft flat mats are
just no good at all, since they'll slide apart and over each other. Even
Ignition Pads are tough for this, since they can move as well, unless you
can find some way to lash them together. The best, naturally, is the Cobalt
Flux dual setup, which you can connect.
Okay, you probably should begin your Doubles career after at least mastering
Standard on Single, but it's best on Heavy.
One of the greatest things to "unlearn" from Single Play is to be able to
move your entire body. When playing Single, you'll generally maintain your
upper body in one place spatially, but that definitely won't fly on Doubles.
Crossovers take on a whole new meaning when playing on higher levels on
Double Play. In a general sense, you'll be playing with your left foot on
the right arrow on the left pad, while your right foot will be on the left
arrow on the right pad. A lot of the stepcharts on Doubles are engineered so
you dance around that setup.
After that, it's all pretty much getting used to the new setup. Practice and
practice some more. Build up your stamina, learn how to read eight arrows,
and know where to step.

4. DEFAULT SONGS (PART 1) - (Bend Your Mind to July)
******************************************************************************
Since I run out of letters after twenty-six and there are sixty-one default
songs, I decided to split the default list into three alphabetical sections.
====================
4A. Bend Your Mind =
====================
Artist: REFLECTION THEORY
Genre: Atmospheric Trance
BPM: 140
Diff - Steps - Jumps - Holds - Mines - Hands

EXP: 10 437 19 76 30
Play Notes: It's worth noting that every difficulty, except Novice, has
hands, so don't try this song unless you want to play with hands.
Hard Notes: There's a little bit of everything in this song. Actually, make
that a LOT of everything. Long streams, lots of hands, plenty of sixteenths,
and several crossovers. The second half of the songs contains plenty of
holds, as well as the usual mess.
Expert Notes: A lot more steps in this version. The hands and holds are about
the same, but there are a LOT more sixteenths and some thirty-seconds in the
stream sections.

syncopated notes. There are also plenty of jumps in the streams, and just a
few gallops. The streams have plenty of crossovers, too, so watch your
step.
Expert Notes: Mines are now thrown into the set. Streams now go into more
jumps. There are also several sixteenth clusters thrown in, but a great
amount.

ESY: 3 120 2 1
MED: 6 271 1 4
HRD: 7 349 16 2
EXP: 9 485 22 5 6
Hard Notes: A lot of simple streams, and there are certain parts where the
steps follow the piano notes. There's a rather long stream near the
middle, as well.
Expert Notes: Who-hoa. Suddenly this song is hard. Well, lots of
sixteenths throughout, following the background synth, and mines are
liberally spread throughout these clusters, making them almost impossible
to read without using speed mods.

Lyrics:
Charlene, please take care, little sister of mine
Better stay off the drugs and the wine
Don't get lost in that dangerous scene
My sister Charlene
Stay out Charlene
Just beware of the dark side of town
That's where passion and sex tear you down
Where the people are greedy and mean
You'd better stay out Charlene
Charlene
Charlene
I saw you last night
In your fancy outfit
Eyeing the men in the dark streets
They touched your gorgeous body
With their greedy eyes
So please take care of yourself
Don't give away everything you own
'Cause no one will give you back
The innocence that you've lost
Charlene, please take care, little sister of mine
Better stay off the drugs and the wine
Don't get lost in that dangerous scene
My sister Charlene
Stay out Charlene
Just beware of the dark side of town
That's where passion and sex tear you down
Where the people are greedy and mean
You'd better stay out Charlene
Charlene

where it slows down to 89 gradually.
Hard Notes: Gallop city, as well as small streams, and a few tricks with
holds.
Expert Notes: Instead of straight gallops, you're now following most of the
melodies, both the strings and the guitar, and they each have a lot of
sixteenths to cover.

HRD: 8 351 40 10 3
EXP: 9 430 67 10 9
Hard Notes: Steps mostly follow the melody, here. This calls for small
streams, off-beat steps, a few gallops and syncopation.
Expert Notes: There are several hands thrown in on holds in this difficulty.
Beyond that, this is just more of everything. More steps following the
melody, more sixteenths, etc.

4I. DELIRIUM =

MED: 8 351 73 40 2
HRD: 9 424 118 16 33 1
EXP: 11 587 120 13 22
Play Notes: The song mostly goes at 163, until about two-thirds of the way
through, where it stops on certain steps momentarily, and jumps to 279 for
about a second, just to throw you off. ^_^
Hard Notes: Long streams for this song, mostly, several of which crossover.
A few sixteenths, but nothing too draining. Just lots and lots of streams.
Expert Notes: Think of how difficult this song can potentially get with the
notes in the song, and you're pretty close to how bad it gets. The hands
get done early in the song, and the rest of the first half is tricky holds
and odd notes with sixteenths around them. Then, it gets ugly. Mines at
the stopping points, and before and after are giant sixteenth clusters, and
I mean GIANT. To its credit, the song doesn't spend its entire track trying
to tire you out, but it gets pretty bad.

4J. DISCONNECTED =

MED: 6 296 37 2
HRD: 8 395 66 4 10
EXP: 9 440 116 2 60
Play Notes: About two-thirds of the way through the song, there's a stop for
about a second.
Hard Notes: Just about all of this song is streams. They crossover
periodically, but that's about it. No sixteenths. No real chaotic steps.
No jumps in the streams.
Expert Notes: First, there are mines. They're not too horribly placed,
except for the one over the stop. The streams have become a LOT longer, and
there are sixteenths thrown in, but their steps are relatively easy, for an
Expert song, anyway.

EXP: 9 395 32 1 22
Hard Notes: Steps are quite simple. Small streams and jumps and like one
tricky hold.
Expert Notes: Whoa. Steps, intead of the melody, now follow the rhythm.
The hardest part is just following these steps. There are a few jumps and
extra holds to deal with, but they're not nearly the issue.

Lyrics:
I want it all baby can't you see
If I'm the one you have got to tell me
I got to know if you want me to be your baby
Sometimes you act like you want to be free
I'll give it up even if it hurts me
Oh let it out baby tell me now, do you love me?
(Do you love me?)
Chorus:
Say that you want me
Say that you need me
Do you? Do you love me?
Say that you want me
Say that you need me
Do you? Do you want my love?
You call me out when you're feeling down
You want my love when you're feeling lonely
Oh let it out baby tell me now, do you love me?
(Do you love me?)
[Chorus]
Do you want my love?
Do you want my love?

Do you? Do you love me?

on a hold note (or not stepping at all), so don't worry about it.
Hard Notes: Simple streams, mostly off the beat. Several crossovers,
though. Near the end, there's some syncopation with sixteenths, so eyes
open.

Hard Notes: By and large, there are mostly streams in this song, except
about a third of the way through, where the song follows the rhythm in a
"three sixteenths, then syncopation" pattern that lasts for quite a while.
Expert Notes: Just more, really. Longer streams, more sixteenths. The
pattern mentioned above now has a jump in-between, instead of just a normal
step

Lyrics:
(All right, let's go....)
Everyday, we're one step closer to heaven
Is this the way that love is meant to be
'Cause I had a dream, maybe someday we'll make it together
We'll live forever now, won't let it driftin' away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Hey baby, I dont know why, it's been so long since your face caught my eye
But now that I found you, your lovin' I need so much more
Walking through streets on a cold lonely night
Only your loving can make me feel right
Together forever we will be 'cause I feel so sure
So take my hand and walk with me
Only you can set me free
Everything will be ok
Baby now, we're drifting away
Everyday, we're one step closer to heaven
Is this the way that love is meant to be
'Cause I had a dream maybe someday we'll make it together
We'll live forever now, won't let it driftin' away
