DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY 2 (Wii) (North America)

It took me... about 8 years to get enough stamina for most 9's.

Started playing in 2000.

Stopped.

Started playing again in 2004.

Stopped.

Started playing again in 2007.

Still playing.

In winter of 2005, I played almost constantly.

I stopped for a while, then played at the arcade a few times. Then, I was playing weekly during the summer. I stopped again.

I played occasionally, then returned to weekly visits. It wasn't the same place, and I didn't like it as much, so I eventually stopped. Since then, I've played one horrible round on ITG2 and that's it.

I've passed a few 9's, the hardest of which is Broken My Heart (yes, I think that's harder than AA).

---

I have the other BPMs for ya:

Black or White: 124
Come Rain, Come Shine: 120
Nite Runner: 136
Bust a Move: 118

This was from UG's vid. The BPM counter looked a little blurry, but it should be OK.

Because of the jumps?

Yknow, I've been playing for about 3 years now, and I still can't pass tens like FAXX and . But when I was only four months into playing DDR (once my friend got it), I was able to pass nines!

---

Yeah, that seems to be what gives me the most trouble.

The crossovers in AA are also sort of a weakness, but that's just a matter of orientation as opposed to stamina/skill.

---

Jumping is a big problem for me too. I can barely pass the huge Air part in SMMM Oni.

Eventually, you get used to jumps. I turned jump off1 on FELM to recognize the chart, then I added the jumps. I was alright, but still kind of uncomfortable. So, I made an edit that helped me with that problem. it was like a L,LR,R,LR,L,LR,R,LR type of parttern for half of the song. Forget which, butI do that lots in my DDR edits now. You should try it. (The edit part)

---

I like jumps when they're designed with proper orientation in mind. For example, PARANOiA ~HADES~ has jumps placed in horribly awkward positions that don't flow at all, so I can't stand them.

On the other hand, MAXX UNLIMITED flows quite well and is very fun.

---

I think that tokyoEVOLVED's 4th jumps ( the ones in all 3 charts) were handled well, just not the 8th step jumps at the end.

---

Too long. I'm only take 2 years to get enough stamina for 9 footer songs.

---

Box art out from amazon.com.

I like it.

to quote Voodoo Vince, "Mmm...Shiny..."

EDIT: 500 combo!

Finally, I can forget about DS Empress.

But why did they just add a 2 to the old logo?

---

Because they're lazy. That's why.

<@Drezdar> This summer I'm gonna buy a DDR pad. I figure I can kill three birds with one stone by doing this: 1) play a game, 2) exercise, 3) swear off heterosexuality for good.

---

DDR X and DDR HP 2 has similiar box art design but different color. I bet DDR Universe 3 has similiar box art design too.

---

Just like the backs of EX2, SN US, SN2 US, Ultramix 3 & 4, and Universe. Not sure about Universe 2 or Hottest Party, though I assume it is. It's Konami being lazy.

No, no. There's a slight difference between the SuperNOVA and SuperNOVA2 logos. Take a real good look.

I like the shadow dancers theme that the recent North American series has had. Better than CGI Man-Lady o_o;
