Tap-Tap Revenge Mini-Tutorial II

Starting of from where we left:

A. Basics

I. Knowing the Game

The Tap Tap Revenge merchandise is a music game, in which you fundamental goal is to successfully finish the song by “tapping” the correct note ball in the correct note lane in the most accurate of timing in the most frequent successions of taps, producing a rhythmic beat synchronized with the actual tone of the song.

II. Gameplay

The Tap Tap Interface consists of 4 main components: The Note ball lanes, in order; Red. Green, Blue, the score bar, showing the, well, the score, and there’s this conveniently evident green arrow which always points to the score of the prepossessing player, the accuracy meter, which obviously shows how accurate you tapped a particular note ball, and a part I call, the streak bar, which shows your current streak and your score determiner (that x2, x4 and x8 stuff).

At this point you know the basics, now get comfortable, because being in a state of relaxation or uncouth rashness can mean a lot in the verdict of the game. Remember to always keep your eye on the interface, taking your vision astray just simply just to glance at what your streak count or current score is will affect your performance, such that the time your vision positions it’s focus causes a split secound abberation. That’s a bad thing to happen.

III. Game tactics

Tap Tap does not offer special items on which you can use against your opponent. There are, however, these, what I call, compensation note balls, colored in white or orange. The white compensator gives you a score determiner boost by 2x, while the orange one instantaneously gives you a 4x boost. When you see one, it means your score is a tad bit too low than the opponent’s score. 

a. Focus

Focus is important, especially when you’re opponent is considered to be as good (or as bad) as you. Keeping the foci of your vision in the center lane (green) will help elucidate blind spots and will not condemn your eyesight for being to unruly. This, however, does not work all the time. For most people. 

b. Location

Your positioning during playing will affect your performance, most especially your endurance, as you use more energy keeping your feet on the ground than keeping your fingers accounted with the interface. This is usually the problem for most beginners, seeing that they either have little of no fighting chances at winning (when in fact, they do, ludacious hippocrite), they give little concern for this matter. That sucks.

c. Endurance

As Paradoxically preposterous as it may be, you need the slightest amount of endurance you can get if you’re willing to tap several instantaneous consecutive note balls at a managable amount of time. Believe it or not, tapping requires you to endure as much as possible while keeping your iPod or Android phone intact. The most obvious solution is practice. As it turns out, keeping your fingers mobile and unflabby through stress balls or tap tap makes them more flexible, slim and not stiff.

Tap Tap Mini-Tutorial I

I’m a pretty decent Tap Tap Revenge player. I can coordinate my vision to target that specific note ball whilst interacting with my fingers. I can take minutes enduring excruciatingly long and difficult songs, tapping furiously against opponents. I can sporadically win or lose depending on the conditions applied on a basis of “bets” which I most dislike, and the conditions of which the game is held.

I can take a lose even from beginners or amateurs (you mad bro?) and does not take it over my league that which may indefinitely lead to my own downfall. 

I make rookie mistakes. I miss the notes as frequent I over-tap and/or spontaneously tap the x16 button and a note ball. I sometimes can’t find a comfortable position from which to sleazily play the game, often resulting in many cases I can’t see the whole gaming interface. It happens. Most of the time. It is exasperating.

Here, in this absurd yet somewhat in the purpose it is supposed to help you in Tap Tap Revenge (obtusely pronounced as Re-Vange). I made this fore the sole purpose of influentially teaching you the rooks on the game. Only. all terms and conditions applied.

Grievers of the Real World

Before anything else, some awesome news:

Minecraft has achieved over 5 million sales! How freaking cool is that?

Anyways, to the Topic:

Snatchers. They are clever, smug, stealthy assholes. They are a plague to the society, an incurable disease of the growing world. They are the grievers of the real world: They destroy/ take stuff that isn’t theirs to take, never will be.

Snatching is a common delinquency in today’s life. It happens all the time, be it at a mall, park, rodeo/clown house community. Snatching has been in existence since the colonization on Spain and, subsequently, America. But it’s not entirely the colonizer’s fault. Sure they somewhat brought the act here, through violent crimes like raiding supplies to  but thing straight: It wouldn’t last the generations if we haven’t continued and propagated it. 

These lawbreakers do not have a specific time schedule or session for moving in for the steal, hence being as sporadic as an owl. They may attack in broad daylight, or stalk and creep towards their victims at night. To hell, They attack whenever the fuck they feel like it, like dinosaurs.

Snatchers, in our locality, have been here for at least since the 1986 EDSA Revolution, because even criminals were equally scared of being violated within their own grounds of freedom. One misdemeanor me call Human Rights Violation.

But after that, people took advantage of the sovereign, just and democratic rule of our government, and then they blame them. What a bunch of Dicks, blaming the Government for all the current problems of our economic status, when in reality, they be the causes. Not all politicians commit petty larcenies, corruptible loopholes, etc. Be it this case or not, this problem will not go away, not now at least.

Snatchers have varying targets. They range from the most common: cellular phones, to unattended items like laptops, car keys, expensive tumbler bottles, wallets, the like. They usually go to well occupied and populated areas, like plazas, malls and parks. They may hunt in groups like a pact of Velociraptors, stalking their targets, getting as close as possible for the steal, as one grabs the item while the others attempt not to compromise their fellow glue-fingers, and leave the scene as if though they have only been from a party of some sort. A Party of Snatchers, that is!

They can, and will, attack. In all directions. You can’t stop them entirely. But you can, however, prevent being victimized. Things are just learned too late, right?

a. Do not keep your valuable unattended. Such BS could be your own liability, so keep your eyes on your belongings, especially personal items like purses and laptop bags.

b. Put them in the right place. Leaving your phone exposed and prone to just a quick grab can be unsightly. Do not put them in loose pockets. The best places are the front pockets on the pants or that secret pocket within a jacket or overcoat.

c. Keep an eye on your surroundings. Like I said, they may come in groups. Notice if there have been a sudden increase in the number of people within your vicinity. It could be them.

The bottom line here is, snatchers suck. A lot.
