Comparing DDR X foot ratings to classic ratings

Most SuperNOVA songs are rated the same on and mostly since the charts were copy/pastes of with marginally more steps, but often not much.

I find it funny how they rerated certain songs but didn't change the difficulty order, i.e.:

Funk Boogie goes 4/5/4/8 or something, they should swap and
STARS (Re-tuned by HAL) is 10 but is 9.

the foot ratings can be completely weird because I've seen a few songs (can't remember which song) that went from 9's to 10's and some 7's went to 11 or 12's but the basic premise would be:

05 = 06 - 09
06 = 07 - 09
07 = 08 - 11
08 = 09 - 13
09 = 10 - 15 (Arrabiatta being a 15)
10 = 14 - 16 (Paranoia survivor being a 14)
10 (flashing) = 15 - 20 (LoM being a 15 for some reason)

It really isn't consistent because a few 7 went to 12's and a few 8's went to a 9's or a 10.
I wonder what ska a go go would be because of the end run on standard.

OK. It's my calculation :

DDR X rating : Old DDR rating

01 = 01

02 = 01 (but a bit harder)

03 = 02

04 = 03 (Usually for song that have 3 steps or 2 - 2 step pattern on low BPM)

05 = 04 (Usually hard 3 footer like Butterfly or 4 footer that not so fast)

06 = 04 or 05 ( For song that have exactly has full arrows on 4/4 or easy 5 footer on that have not much blue arrows.)

07 = 05

08 = 06

09 = 06 or 07 (Hard 6 footer ala Paranoia or simple 7 footer like Happy Wedding )

10 = 07 (Hard 7 footer such as D2R , MARIA I believe... , etc)

11 = 08

12 = 08 (hard 8 footer such as Sunkiss Drops , DO YOU REMEMBER ME , etc)

13 = 09

14 = 09 (Hard 9 footer, nearly 10 footer such as Konoko No Nanatsu No Oiwaini , HVAM , etc)

15 = 10 (Standard 10 footer such as MAX 300 , Horatio , etc)

16 = 10 or 11 (Hard 10 footer such as Paranoia Respect , Possibly easy 11 footer such as PSM )

17 = 11 (Hard 11 footer such as FAXX , Pluto The First , etc)

18 = 12

19 = 12 or 13 (Hard 12 footer or nearly 13 footer)

20 = 13 (Absolutely 13 like Pandemonium , Vertex2 , Totally Nuts !)

we'll never get a completely consistent conversion because of Konami's previously horrid misratings in that area of difficulty

Kicked with crap up their arse.

Thanks. That's the most complete I've seen and it makes sense just glancing at it.

Honestly, I'd take the new rating scale with a grain of salt. a 1-10 rating scale is MUCH easier to conceptualize than a 1-18(19? 20?) especially when the new scale doesn't really seem consistent across the board. Plus, a lot of songs will vary for some people. Many see Sunkiss Drop as a 9, I see it as an 8, some see Survivor as a 9, i see it as a 10. Bag a 10? on 1x sure, but are they rating based on 1x speed or taking mods into consideration?

Considering it's the default, I'd assume it'd be on default mods. Stuff like Ballad for You and I'll Make Love To You would be 6s (or even lower) on 2-3x.

This is generally how I feel, and part of the reason why I asked. So that I can look at a 14 and instantly know what it would have been rated on a 1-10 scale that way I can see in my mind through my experience how hard the song is suppose to be. It's like learning a second language, the brain always seems to put things into one's native tongue before converting it to concepts.

Bag should be a 9 in the 1-10 scale even in 1x, tbh.

Well then, what do you propose to be the easiest 10-footer? =P

---

Arrabbiata, if fixed.

... what's wrong with it?

I love the new scale, it's absolutely necessary, by SuperNOVA2, the ratings were meaningless they were so poorly assigned and 10 was utterly vague. All I need to know about a 14 is, it's harder than a 13, but not as hard as a 15. Same way I learned and adjusted to the 10 scale, so have I adjusted to the new one.

---

MAX 300 (a 10-footer, no?) is still easier than Arrabbiata So's SMMM. I'd put the cutoff at one of those.

I also love the new scale. It was probably the most helpful thing for getting me from 13's to 16's new scale with a minimum of death. I didn't have to go, "okay, I should be able to pass Unreal before Uranus S-Oni, what's going on?"; also, I could actually find all the 14's instead of being too overly surprised.
I will say, though, that the new rating scale sucks for anybody in the new 4-9 range, just from talking to friends stuck in there somewhere.

Um... Why Konami not using decimal rating like DDR SOLO again ?

For example : WWW.BlondeGirl (MOMO MIX) = 7 while D2R = 7.5

Can't Stop Fallin' In Love (Speedy Mix) = 9 while Konoko No Nanatsu No Oiwaini = 9.5

---

"Easy 11 footer like PSM " =

I still think PSM is 17-worthy, about on par with Pluto Relinquish . This from somebody who still plays both, at about the same success/fail rate.

BTW, Solo didn't use the half-footers IIRC; Dancing Stage TKD/DCT did.

I think the best way to look at the new scale is basically just to ignore the old one. Yeah, the new 10's are mostly what used to be (or what would have been) 7's, but so are a lot of the 9's and 11's, I would say. There's just too much bleeding over.

Whereas, if I think of the X scale on its own, it mostly makes sense to me. Like, if someone asks me what 14's are like, I can tell them in much more concrete terms than if they had asked what a 9 is like or something.

I thought it was strange how that AM-3P(chaos special) is a 10 on Supernova2, but is a 13 on X2.

Uranus S-Oni says hi.
