A Dance of Fire and Ice - Tap Troupe (Rhythm Heaven) 

Wow, this perfectly demonstrates the concept of Tap Troupe, and should help explain to people why that one tap is weird.

My favorite part is the zoom out at the end, and how this level, likely completely accidentally, ended up being vaguely leg-shaped overall.

Play with your eyes closed for the best experience.

1:20 I like how you can visually see the difference in that tap now.

ok can i just say how much i like tap tropue’s “okay!” like. it’s just so cheery. like goals.

Really cool how you can see how the rhythm changes actually work.

Probably a million people have said it by now, but it's fun to be able to SEE how that one cue at 1:22 feels awkward and if anyone wants a bit of an explanation in terms of the visuals, I'll be your guest! Tap Troupe is about switching back and forth between two rhythms. The first is a "4/4" rhythm (shown by straightaways), while the second is a faster "Triplet" rhythm (shown by the angled turns). The cue, "Tap, tap, TAP!" is always used to transition from the Triplet rhythm, back to the 4/4 rhythm. Basically, that cue takes you from a turn, back to a straightaway. It's also important to know that the 4/4 rhythm can only occur in cardinal directions. Traveling in diagonal directions would mean the rhythm is off-beat. So that cue, "tap, tap, TAP!" needs to end in a cardinal direction. By definition, it HAS to. So, at 1:22, something weird happens. Out of sheer rhythmic coincidence, the triplet rhythm lines up with the 4/4 rhythm ONE BLOCK EARLY. So even though the cue has to END in a cardinal direction, we're already there. So, the final "TAP!" now has to wait for exactly one beat in 4/4 rhythm, in order to maintain the straightaway. In other words, the cue that tells you to change your rhythm, changes rhythm mid-cue!

You kept time really well. You handled changeovers well. We got to say "OK!" a lot! ★Superb★

Can I suggest Lockstep 2? I feel like the swing feel it has may make it pretty interesting to see.

1:20. Am I the only one who never got tricked by that tap? It just made sense to me that they'd end it on a 1 count there.

Ready? And tap tap tap! "I'M GAAY"

This actually explains why I can intuitively sense the end of the "tap, tap, tap!" It's just that there are two different rhythms. I never realized this.

I edited this level a bit to get a feel for the game's editor and i just absolutely adore this level and I'm so glad I found your channel because you're good at this

This just *feels* so accurate.

Notice how the last tap is always on a straight line, which is why its inconsistent

This video will help me Perfect tap troupe in actual rhythm heaven fever

Rhythm game mashup, nice

I’d love to see something like this for Donk-Donk, I never could wrap my head around that one.

It took a remake in another rhythm game for me to finally understand the seemingly random quick-or-slow combo ends.

Really cool that it kinda just works, the taps are either full loops or just lil ramps, it's nice

planets follow a track across dangerous surfaces game, but the song is one from various rhythm games that are unrelated in any way whatsoever packed into one game game (wii edition)

I'm probably not going to explain this very well, but I kinda understand why that one tap is very strange. The normal taps are spaced one quarter note from each other of course, and in this song (which is a 4/4 time signature) they land on each beat in each measure. The toe-taps (the "bam-bam-bam-bam" part) are spaced in every 3rd sixteenth note (plus an extra quarter note from the end of the "Rea-dy!" cue). Weird, but not impossible. The issue is when you need to go from the toe-tap to the normal tap. There's no consistent timing for it because at any point when you get the cue to switch back ("Tap-tap TAP!"), that last "TAP!" always lines up with a normal tap pattern, but the other two always line up with the toe-tap pattern. So what happens is the wait between the second and last "Tap!" varies between 2-4 sixteenth notes. (Hence why some of the switches feel natural and some others feel rushed.) What happens with that one tap is in the cue, the second "Tap!" cue lands directly on the beat, and because the third "Tap!" cue always on the beat, that creates a wait of 1 quarter note, which is why it seems like it takes much longer.

wow tap troupe. if there was remix 7 of this...

When this level is put with the audio this is a pretty good tutorial for a dance of fire and ice

it's so pleasing to look at

how about remix 7 ?!

I always used to fail the last tap, because of the gap. "You can't step at the same trap twice" they told.

I never understood why people find Tap Troupe weird. It’s a simple ¾ beat (135°) vs. 1 beat (180°) rhythm alteration. And the third “tap” has to align with the closest beat (so the second “tap” may be ½ beat [90°], ¾ beat [135°], or 1 beat [180°] from the third “tap”).

I love tap!

aye thats pretty cool

Can you make a video on how to download these custom levels?

Pure happiness music😊

I think night walk level will be so interesting

good video

yo! can i borrow the chart and add the vfx? this has some potential to be a good vfx chart cuz how easy it is

ready n tap tpa tap!!#

Kappa kaaappa

how'd you get that bottom right thing?

So what you’re telling me is you took a song from a rhythm game and put it in a different rhythm game?

Huh. So that's why that one tap is so weird. Makes it a lot easier to see coming at least.

This is otto abuse

Why did you pirate the game
