No Popular 2 has a drift, usually to the back.
I think its mainly Flourish 1 and 2 that do that, I have the impression they don't return you to the original point but a bit behind it.

For me it is flo 2 on Popular2..whenmy avatarmoves forward in the last half of the flo it doesn't return her to the starting point.

Yep, I can't remember which patch it was, but one of them completly borked P2. Flos 1 and 2 take you away from your starting position and you end up moving back further and further. I avoid those two flos as much as possible, even though I really like the cris-cross step alot. It's a royal pain in the .. . . . toes . . .

Hmmmm strange....

but when I dance Popular2 (and it is my most favorite dance so I dance it a lot) I tend to drift forward and little right. At least that's the way it looks like on my screen (no telling what someone else actually sees). I usually mix and match all the flows but never use flo#1, not sure why.. just don't like that one.

Poplock drifts me back and left, Breakdance back and right.

But once again.. that is only what I see on my screen, I may be dancing on top of the bar for all I know

Hm I will have to check this and see.

I don't use flo 1 or 2 that much actually in popular2, so maybe I just haven't used them enough to get noticeable drift.

We have a regular Friday-night jam session and all seemed to drift into each other doing Pop and Pop2 (when have a mix of skill levels).

I have a macro for bandflos for Tumble2 but, as stated above due to lag and PC issues, it does not work for everyone. The best bet that I've found, unfortunately, is to do the bandflos by hand. If you watch the base dance, you always come back to the same starting position if you haven't flo'd. I use the same action (hand goes above head) as my jumping off point for the bandflos - seems to work a little bit better than the marco for keeping us all together.

I remembered to write down my timings for lyrical2 last night so here they are. I've found that the best way to approach this is to put in the given pause length and then adjust it up or down based on what you see. It's not a perfect system but it gives you a good starting point and cuts down on the "counting frustration".

Lyrical 2:

flourish 1 gets a pause of 24.3

flourish 2 gets a pause of 22.3

flourish 3 gets a pause of 17.3

flourish 4 gets a pause of 21.3

Again keep in mind I have high ping times and often have dramatically changing FPS compared to most people. This is just to give you a starting point that you can adjust to your own situation. That's also why I did not simply post this as a macro. As an example of how different the timing can be, someone else once posted their timings for Theatrical2. They had a pause of 12.8 for flourish 3 but I am using a pause of 9.0. It's not often that the timing is so very different but it can happen.
