Sidewalk vs Stepping clipper (difficulty)

Post by Acid~Reign »

Hi all,
Bit of a dumb post really but everyone I've spoken to, which admittedly isn't THAT many people, says that stepping clipper is harder than sidewalk. Just out of interest, what do you think?

Seeya.

stepping clipper: higher set and more rotation required.

It's easier to come out of stepping clipper with something imo.

I agree with TMorris (you care if I use your name dude?) AND Rob partially, but it might be harder, I just figure do the 4, so I do, but I think like nuclear would be easier from stepping clipper, I can step just as well off sidewalk though, so if I could fog, will soon, but other side, I would sidewalk into it.

stepping clipper is much easier imho
its basically the same set but for stepping ss clipper all you do is pull the dexing leg in a bit after you plant it, the bag falls and you clip is there to catch it

while with sidewalk you have to worry about the butterfly which maynot be a big deal but its easier to do nothing then to do something :P

but its different, when we do sidewalks, they have become so presition accurate that we keep the set really low. So, we can keep the butter window there through the plant, and hop back on it to get a good set off. While clipper, we can't set at the clean low height or it hits the leg if we're not ultra fast, so we have to set high like you, and that ruins the nice part of the rhythm and balance and beauty of sidewalk, and it's a choppier set after the stall is done.

I'm with Rob... for me, too, stepping clipper is easier to step out of. As for just hitting the move by itself, both are just as easy.

even tho im a newb, i still can do some stepping. i dont know which is harder but stepping moves are easier from stepping clipper because it has more cushioning(for me), and regular clip moves are easier from sidewalk because of the scooping motion of my butterfly. these are based on how i play though. also, i can rarely do things like this.
