If you've run out of feet, use other appendages. Hands are the most common, and usually the preferred appendages to use for this. ITG has them on some songs (it'll list the number, in fact), and so does Pump (on MANY songs on CZ difficulty and I think even some on Hard). If you want to really have your head messed with, play Queen of Light Expert on ITG or Pierrot CZ on Pump.

On Pump, there are certain ones that you can hit by jumping with your feet spanning multiple panels and stomping fairly hard, often while rocking your feet upon landing. It takes some technique, but it is quite possible (though much easier for people with larger feet and shoes). I don't know that this is possible on ITG due to the stage layout, and I've certainly never seen anybody try it.

It's deffinately possible, though it's quite a good deal more difficult. I've played through ROM-eo & Juli8 without using my hands, but I did miss a few times, and it wasn't nearly as easy to do as it is in Pump.

And your FA suffers greatly when you try this. Easier to crouch and use your hands in ITG. Easier to spread feet (I have big feet so it isn't a problem for me) in PIU.

For hitting those extra arrows, hands and knees are my favorite.

If you really want to try a fun song with a lot of stuff like that, play Bend your Mind. It's awesome. Probably one of my favorite songs on ITG because there's so much to do in it.

Yeah, they do list them. They're called "hands" for a reason! ^_^ I personally find them quite fun. And Pump songs on hard do have plants in them every so often, like Starian and Don't Bother Me, just to name a couple.

As for Queen of Light Expert...I have seen that evil. Never played it, obviously, but just looking at it makes me go cross-eyed.

If you can move your feet fast enough you can hit the arrow and go back to the freeze before you lose it. I personally use hands.

It's actually not all that bad (well, IMO, anyway); the most confusing part is probably in the seventh and eighth columns of the stepchart with the three-handplants-in-a-row weirdness.

Raw requires....I'm not sure, but lots of extra things to hit panels with :)

You still don't have enough appendages, even including the head/body - that's only 9...

(For those unfamiliar with it, Raw is a song that isn't really meant to be played as it contains a message made of arrows, and it includes a 10 panel hold)

Oh...it appears I was thinking of the wrong song. It has been a while since I stepped some ITG arrows. Someone played a song where, for a while, every other arrow except for the one you're supposed to be stepping on was a mine.

If I remember right Disconnected Disco doesn't require knees...

But Bend Your Mind definately does, and unless you wanna drop one of the freezes you're holding, I can't think of a way around it.

Probably more appropriate, since it actually worked in one case :P

There's a ridiculous edit called VerPaths (for VerTex) out there that looks a lot like that:
