Prey, too many jumps! Ska a go go (CLUB ANOTHER VER.) has THE WORST ending I've ever seen. That stream of arrows is atrocious.

Prey is pretty gnarly, but Arrabbiata is a fucking hellscape. Especially once you get used to the charts for it in pop'n. In the words of a certain aggravated video game consumer: WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Prey just makes me sick.

Prey should've never existed. Even as a troll chart. At least Arrabbiata has a fun Doubles chart

The others are bad in their own right but I'm putting all my chips in on Prey because there's nothing worse than a song getting a Challenge chart and it turning out to be utter crap. What a disappointment the chart is.

Prey is not only jarting to play, but also does not fit the song's vibes. We have a clear winner this time.

Very upset I forgot to vote cause I think Ska and Arrabbiata deserve to tie for second, but Ska stands alone today. And I knew people hated Prey but I didn't know it was this much!

Akiba Drift (borderline 9 rated a 6)
Bad Romance
Beautiful Life (over 100 BPM changes)
Bi

Akiba Drift = 0
Bad Romance = 0
Beautiful Life = 5 (+5)
び = 0

Beautiful Life just has way TOO MANY BPM changes for it to even be decent. I never even understood why it has to be so bloody drifty in the first place.

Akiba Drift Heavy = 0
Bad Romance Heavy = 0
Beautiful Life Heavy = 10
Bi Challenge = 0

I can't believe I'm voting Beautiful Life over Bi but what the actual fuck konami

But the worst part is the music never changes tempo! If you remove all the BPM changes and keep it at a constant 100, the song's on-sync! Apparently it was part of a contest so some suspect it was an OTP/A4A type deal a decade early. this is wrong see sigrev's post

Akiba Drift = 5 (+5)
Bad Romance = 0
Beautiful Life = 10
び = 0

Akiba Drift should not be a 6. KONAMI must be lazy!
Bad Romance doesn't deserve to be on there, it's a pretty good song.

Akiba Drift - 5
Bad Romance - 0
Beautiful Life - 10
び - 5

i am so confused by some of these picks, ngl.

it's because it was their first attempt at an eamuse exclusive and they were anticipating the timing to be fucked due to how it was streamed to the cab. i'm still not even entirely convinced these sways were actually in the data and someone was just winging it from recorded footage or something but i also know i might be wrong.

I mean Akiba Drift doesn't look great, but was it seriously only nominated because of its rating?

---

Akiba Drift: 5
Bad Romance: 0
Beautiful Life: 20
Bi: 5

Bad Romance is one of the few good charts in DDR 2010.

---

That makes more sense, thanks for clearing that up. Saw a recording and I definitely see the sways, the .sm might still be wrong on the specifics though.

Akiba Drift: 5
Bad Romance: 0
Beautiful Life: 20
Bi: (+5) 10

Fuuuuuuuucckk Bi

+3 beautiful life
using skittles would have been a much viable option since the song itself is a constant 100

+2 akiba drift
and this is just bad

---

Akiba Drift - 9
Bad Romance - 0
Beautiful Life - 26
び 10

I have a theory that they couldn't sync Beautiful Life right so they had to make all those BPM changes as opposed to fixing the actual sync. It may have been done to save time so they can have the song out in time for the promotion.

Akiba Drift suffers from the same problem as Wild Rush: a chart with a foot rating that is dramatically underrated to its actual difficulty.

---

Akiba Drift: ESP 9
Bad Romance: ESP 0
Beautiful Life: ESP (+3) 29
Bi: CSP (+2) 12

I wish I could give both Bi and Beautiful Life +5 votes. Bi's down arrow stream is worse than Ska A Go Go's stream. But Beautiful Life gets the upper edge from me because I don't think it's ever fully in sync.

Akiba Drift - 14
Bad Romance - 0
Beautiful Life - 29
び - 12

This would have been a +3 Beautiful Life / +2 Akiba Drift but Bi does absolutely not even deserve to be in this list.
