FUNKY SUMMER BEACH S-

I knew it--a slowdown in the breakdown! I should've seen the other slowdown (the one at the very beginning) coming too

I beg to differ. I think the speed changes fit the moods of the songs. This might be just because of my different perspective (i.e. not knowing the songs beforehand), but I love the how Remain's speed changes fit with the intensity of the music.

About GoGoGirls&Boys, this is one song I don't particularly like. It reminds me too much of Wow Wow Venus, especially the beginning. I kinda liked Wow Wow Venus, but the similarities between the two songs makes me not like the new one. After a while I'll probably get used to it and enjoy it more. Also, that chart seemed more like a 10, not an 11.

I think the speed changes and stops are fine for all the songs. They fit, I like them. Especially as "boss" songs, throwing in gimmicks is such a "DDR boss song" thing.

---

I feel like FUNKY SUMMER BEACH should've been a 13 after watching the video.

---

It's barely a 14 due to 16th clusters. Outside of that there is nothing hard that makes it a 14. Remove the clusters and it would be a 12 at most. I just think Nephilim Delta and Second Heaven when it comes to 14s and this does not come close to either.

Soooo, I was hoping there would be more to this Boss on Parade event, thinking out would span weeks similar to extra attack, but I guess its over? You use all the jewels to unlock Truare and thats all is what I am reading. Its a bunch of good crossovers with a pretty good final song, but I was expecting more than one original out of this. Either way its better than almost the entire last year of content. ;)

I think it's similar to Poseidon kors k remix, with the clusters. It's suited for 13

Not to go into that discussion but there are still some misrated songs from the 2013 mix. IMO, it's just another sign of Konami not really caring about DDR but yeah for decent crossovers at least.

I don't think it's a sign of Konami not caring, it's just a sign of them being really confused about song ratings. IMO if you're on the fence between calling a chart a 13 or a 14, always go with 14. Better to overrate a chart than underrate it.

I bet the Hottest Party staff had this on a 15 foot long plaque on their wall.

---

Doesn't matter what way the chart is rated. Just matters how good the chart is.

...

...Saying that, Electronic Or Treat! Is NOT a 14.

Truare! S- (left) and D- (right)

Makes me long for Konami Hawaii again.

Well, there's debateable charts and then there's stupid stuff. My point is if someone plays a 14 and it didn't play like a 14, it's probably better for the chart to be easier than it says than harder than it says.

Anyone know what's going on with Surrender? I haven't seen anything about it since this...

was put here about a week and a half ago.

Patience. It's probably going to take more than a couple weeks. IMANOGUILTS was in JASRAC since October 2013 or so and didn't show up in DDR proper for 8 months.

On the note of songs at that speed with 16ths... Take a look at Uranus CSP. Would you say that's a 14? Given that it's already had its own share of misratings from Supernova 2 proper. I am pretty keen to say that Funky Summer Beach would be a fine as a 13, but if it's going to stay a 14, whatever... To be fair though, if it had a few more bursts of those 16ths, it would probably still be a solid 14.

Yes, I know Uranus CDP was a 14 on DDR X CS.. Not sure what that was about.

^Apologies for going off topic but I prefer the beta Uranus chart with the new BPM changes. A solid 14 there...
