DanceDanceRevolution X (AC) (International)

Another thing i notice is the bar is move back and it slightly bends in.

I guess ea-pass slot are here , above them are num pad

ZOMG MINES!!!!

It looks like we're still getting the generic cubes that float around the dancing stages (c wut i did thar?)

Oh well.

Geez, a lot is posted in 2 hours.

The new cabinet is nice and sure has a fresh look
I think the first image from what looks like a magazine scan is probably a mock up, as the bars at the side do not look the same towards the top, so the song wheel is more than likely gonna change. ANd I don't think the bar bends in, it's probably just perspective.

It looks a little chunky when viewed at an angle And I can't say that I like the new arrow decals on the pad. I hope they don't change the ingame graphics

I was getting scared when I saw 121 new posts for this like something big happened.

And it did.

That has got to be the best cabinet ever.

As for the shock arrow thing, I'm hope that it will be "Off" by default. Just as long as they don't look like mines and are visually different from the regular arrows, I'll be good.

---

Looks like the default will be on.

---

Uh...As far as I can see, the translation doesn't say anything like it. It mentions shock arrow, then says that they will be making more stepchart variations.

BMS kinda reworded their whole news post kind of weird.

holy...woah...

....

The word you're looking for is "spin".

Well didn't they already introduce this "Shock arrow" in Hottest Party?

bemanistyle have a knack for taking press releases and rewording/putting a spin on them to create more discussion

It doesnt mention it at all in the translation as far as i can see so id imagine its just a bonus really! But shock arrows or no shock arrows ill sitll be calling them mines lol

Maybe the shock arrows will be like Dance Dance Immolation. Those big things on the side are static generators....

Well, I've done a bit of thinking, and it seems to me that so far shock arrows are more likely to be in a seperate mode. Here's why:

-None of the screenshots we've seen, including the ones on the Konami JP CS page and the How To page show 'shock arrows' at all.

-The play description on the how to page mentions no shock arrows.

-The trailer for DDR:X shows about half the stepchart for Taj He Spitz...No shock arrows there.

-The 'How to Play' screenshot on the DDR Gateway mentions everything from freeze arrows to step ratings to score...But not one mention of 'shock arrows'

-The 'How to Play' video for DDR:X has no mention of Shock Arrows whatsoever. Certainly they should explain shock arrows to beginners, right?

So yeah...just some food for thought maybe.

Just for if you are wrong (which I hope you're not), instructions for Shock Arrows could be shown in a similar fashion to how Freeze arrows were shown when they were new- A warning message pops up after you select your difficulty and if the song you selected contains any.

---

As I remember, weren't Freeze Arrows shown in the How to Play video for MAX though?

I don't believe so, since Konami never made the How To Play Dancers keep their feet down for freezes. I don't have access to DDR MAX anymore, so I could still be wrong anyways. Meh.

---

Yes.

---

So Dance Drill Mode sounds sick if its actually like Dan in IIDX. And I just can't see the whole shock arrow thing being default to on. Even if they are though, still very excited for this mix. Also, theirs no way the song wheel will be the same as SN2, I'm sure that was just a mock up for the ad.

Also, I wonder if they'll finally expand the foot rating system in this mix eh?

Actually, I don't think that is going to be harder than Challenge mode

well, I'm too late, but I saw the new cabinet design and it's extremely awesome, looks extremely expensive too

---

I was thinking more of a nonstop course kind of thing, with each level having a progressively harder and harder group of songs. Not necessarily harder than challenge mode. Although I guess there would be no reason to not just have those as actual nonstop courses... so I have no idea what it will be Looking forward to finding out!
