I think I may know what the problem is. The game is probably giving you the second konami code sequence, not the first one. If that's the case, you may have to continue through the next chorus. It picks up between the counts of 2 and 3 of the fourth measure with "right-up-right-up-left-up" (to go with "No matter what I do", IIRC). See the link I posted earlier in the thread to get the entire stepchart. If I'm right, the mission will start roughly halfway down the fourth column. Let me know how it goes. =)

Huh... now that's weird. Again, I haven't played any of the Uni games but I know the song from DDRX. Unless the steps are different between the two games, I can't think of a good reason for that to happen. Does the mission make you play on Heavy/Expert difficulty? Does it force any mods besides Stealth?

Are you sure you're getting the timing exactly right? The "A, Select, Start" jumps form a sort of slow triplet. If you count by eights while playing (1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1) you'd hit "B" and "A" on the counts of 1 and 2, then hit "Select" between 3 and 4, then "Start" on the count of 1 on the next measure. I hope that made some sense... =)

If a song's slower than 200, I'll use 2x. Everything else, 1x. Darkest SF and Note when possible. I sometimes play with Reverse or Boost for a little spice.

If I'm playing Stepmania on a keyboard, I like 2x (4x on songs with 16th runs), Dizzy, Hallway, NoRecover.

I attempted Xmix 5 Overcrush for the first time today, on Expert. And I passed it with a B. This is a big deal for me. XD

The funny thing is, I found the Pluto Relinquish and Trigger parts to be pretty easy... it's the dang stops on Saber Wing Headshot and the sixteenth runs on Horatio that mess me up. >_< Oh well, at least I unlocked it for Training Mode so I can practice the tricky parts. And it reminded me of how badly I need a pad that works =)

http://gimp.org/ is what I use. It's free, and it does a good deal of what Photoshop can do.

What I do is this:

For the first two arrows, jump at them as if they were a jump step.

When landing, delay one foot slightly so that you land on the quarter/eighth arrow first, just before landing on the sixteenth that follows it.

Stay on the front of your feet with your heels in the air, and use the bounce from your landing to jump to the next two arrows. Rinse and repeat. =)

I'm not sure if this is the "normal" or "best" way to do gallops, but it works fine for me. It'll take a bit of practice, but you'll have them down in no time. They're a lot of fun when you get them right. Good luck!

Hi Kinohki!

While I don't own any of the Uni games, I may be able to offer some more advice:

Mission #1: Quarter notes are the arrows that occur exactly on the beat. If you turn the Note option on like Silvercube suggested, all quarter notes will be colored red. 

Mission #2: DDR Extreme had missions similar to this one. What I did was cut out some strips of paper, tape them together end to end, and tape the whole thing to the top of the TV so that it covers the column for the arrow you're not allowed to hit. It made it a bit easier not to instinctively hit the banned arrow.

Mission #3: Not much you can do about this one but practice, as far as I know.

For the 30 Lives mission, you could go to this page: http://www.bemanistyle.com/parser/ddr-content.php , click on 30 Lives and choose the options on the right to match whatever difficulty the game is making you play on. Click the "show me the stepchart" button and print out the page it gives you. When you play the mission, just read the chart instead of the screen. Yes, it feels really awkward, but it's better than nothing. XD 

All these missions can be overcome with practice, but these are some usable workarounds. Hope they help =)
