Until now the Standard chart, if it wasn't for the speed gimmicks, is very similar to an easy 14 at least. With that I don't think we'll get a 20 from this one, maybe not even a 19. Or maybe we'll get it but it will be the easiest of the three.


I second this up! Great job so far ^^

Dr.D is playing the chart. No one has gotten more than 0 notes past the speedup on yet, and it requires AAing an 18 just to attempt, so we'll be hard-pressed to find someone who can get farther.

And thirding that.

==========

Random bit of info found on BemaniWiki: You can play Max.(period) D- and it will go to OT"P" D-, since there is no D- chart.

A question that I'm not aware has been answered yet:

After unlocking Phase II, what happens to the availability of Egoism 440? I'm aware that it's still playable (and that no chart or anything has been unlocked), but is it playable on every Extra Stage now, or does it still only appear after gathering five orbs alongside Max.(period)?

If the former, what happens when it's cleared/AA'd? (I'm guessing it would behave the same way as a regular Extra Stage, not affecting the orbs at all except for the fact that it's still located in the RDI folder.)

If the latter, do you still lose all five orbs upon playing it, for nothing?

egoism still requires all 5 orbs to show up on extra stage. i don't wanna risk losing 5 orbs to find out (nobody wants to) so i guess we'll never know.

To the people who keep coming into this thread and saying "wow you people have no life" or "there's no reason to go this in-depth" etc.

Nobody here cares about your opinion, that's why they're here in the first place. You should find somewhere more productive to post.

so when is someone actually going to pass this thing

from my perspective this just looks like a massive grindfest

Obviously when the best players in the world figure out the many tricky gimmicks this song has. It's not as easy as you make it sound like it should.

not implying that it's easy, the way to unlock it in my opinion is incredibly stupid

any normal player would've given up at this point and people that are actually trying to unlock it i give them my props, that looks way too stressful

Actually, after watching all the progress Dr. D's been making on OT"P", I'm surprised the song hasn't been more filled with gimmicks than it already is. The first freeze arrow after the initial 200 BPM speedup could have been doubled and before the jump following that freeze, there could have been a stop to make the jump fall on the first beat of the next measure instead of the last beat of the previous measure, and then those 6ths leading into the 160 BPM section could have been done in a stutter gimmick ala that jumpy part in IX, and then the 160 section could have easily been doubled to 320, so that the jumps in the next slow/fast wave/wobble part would have been even more jarring.

Once the entire song's full audio finally does get revealed, I'd definitely like to see someone make a "Gimmick Special" custom chart for it.

Yeah, I figured it would be much worse than Egoism 440 lol as far as BPM changes and stuff goes.

I reckon that if they had thought of doing that, they'd have made it a straight combo challenge, not a Perfect attack. They're not that mental.

In b4 comment about KONAMI being insane for cancelling Silent Hills... oh wait...

Sorry, that was off-topic.

echospherics got through the speedup/slowdown part and it's also a lineout!

---

whoa, i've never heard that announcer clip at the end before

That comment from the announcer though
Relax... and enjoy... the groove....

I'm liking the progress so far and it's nice that there's more people attempting. It's a shame that he misstepped that one arrow though, I'd like to hear more of the song.

Must've been patched in after people found being booed and told they're bad and "are you watching the sequence okay!?" for getting a great to be the douchiest thing ever

---

There's probably a lot of unused content from the X announcers that we don't know about. (lol, remember that there are two)

---

I thought i'd never see Sudden+ being abused iidx style, considering how impractical it's to handle in ddr.
like did the other player fail just to turn off P1 sudden?

You just know that once we're done with that 150bpm flat part, all hell's about to break loose.

Either way, it's nice that TAG's doing something with some actual balls to it.

---

Good to see I'm not the only one who remembers that...

Koizumi found it all, there's one where he goes "I got one word for you... Fail. Ure."
