I can't help but feel like it's one of those games that is just difficult to be really good at. Especially if you aren't able to play it often.
It really is. sorta like getting good at ITG/DDR/PIU. I have 6 years of exp playing those but only have 9 AAA's and 1 Quad-Star. I've been playing BM for the past...5 months I think, but don't play it EVERYDAY. Luckily I can take the rhythm skills from Dancing games and transfer it over somewhat. Still, I'm barely playing 8's on Hyper/7 Key. It'll be awhile before 10's become remotely possible for me.

but i don't have a beatmania controller 
I should have let you know a while ago that I was looking on craigslist for a beatmania controller and someone in Austin was selling the box set (controller with game) for $20. sorry...

"Stepmania Science" methods are just an overly simplified writing method that people use to objectify an artistic process, but it's also not a good idea to just abandon convention and spew arrows haphazardly across a chart.
