Make an Extra Stage system for DDR

*bump* and a next page appears I will talk a bit about my own ES system

The element names in that Part 2 of ES system were updated (or changed). There are cyanotre, magenato, xantica and neirea as mentioned above.
Specially when Part 2 starts, if you had cleared one of ES song, you aren't proceed directly to EES after you skip the result screen, there was an another screen that asked you to decide to wait and proceed to EES or not in 30 seconds. If yes, you will see the animations in few seconds and EES starts. But if not, it will return to total result screen. This intend to avoid over-exhausted in playing.
And, in EES with song 'orihalcon'. There will an another, yellow lifebar which recoils 21% when you hit Good/Miss and needs several times to recover (like Hard+ gauge in IIDX) instead of one life battery in usual EES.

That's enough and i don't have an idea how to unlock those ES songs. Certainly, firstly they will announce the ES system Part 1 and two months later there will be Part 2 that makes Part 1 EES song moved out to ES song.

Anyway...

PARTICLE TOUCH X-TRA STAGE

LEPTON STAGE:

PARTICLE TOUCH ENCORE
Jolt Particle: Tokyo EVOLVED / NAOKI underground SP: 5/10/14/16/- DP: 6/10/15/17/-
Unknown Particle: TWO / CAPACITY GATE Vs. Spriggan SP: 7/11/15/18/19 DP: 8/13/15/18/20

In order to trigger the PARTCLE TOUCH, player must be able to get AAA on all stages, and the minimum sum of the difficulty is 27 (e.g.; playing an 8, a 9, and a 10, thus 8+9+10=27). The stages are divided by two: Lepton Stage adn Anti-Lepton Stage. Getting an AAA on usual lepton on will give you access to the Neutrino one. The criteria to unlock Jolt particle is to get at least AA on each leptons. If you cannot unlock the Neutrino ones but you have met the criteria for Jolt Particle, after the Jolt Particle, if you get an AA on , you will unlock usual leptons, but not the Neutrino and the Jolt Particle. Unless you can get access the Neutrino ones, you can't get access to Anti-Lepton Stage. If you AAA all leptons and neutrinos on , you can enter the Anti-Lepton Stage. Wait, where's the Jolt Particle then? I'll show it later.
On Anti-Lepton Stage, clearing the anti-leptons with at least an AA on will give you access to all antineutrinos. Only by at least AA'ing all anti-leptons and anti-neutrinos on , you can get access to the Unknown Particle. This is where the Jolt Particle will be placed: between the normal anti(s) and the Unknown Particle. Getting at least an A on on Jolt will proceed you to Unknown Particle. Clearing the Unknown Particle on with at least an A, will end it all and unlock the whole songs.

Duh. This is purely fictional.
70 34(|-| |-|15 0\/\/|\| To each his own.
No I do not. Again, this is just fictional.
Because this would be a Wii U release, the disc would have Blu-ray capacity. It would come with over 350 songs, and support DLC. This Extra Stage system has exactly 107 songs. I counted.
Like I said, this would be a fictional release with over 350 built-in songs and many more through DLC. I do agree that the chances of a release like this are effectively 0, but this is just my imagination. I've passed two 16s (I'm so Happy and MEI ), but nothing rated higher than that.
Same story as point 2.

DDR XZ Mix


Rules:
AA a song from a home version originally - play Home Version

AA an ITG song(included in this mix) - play ITG
AA a normal song - play KO's

Once you pass an Extra Stage song, you advance to the next tier. Once you advance to the 4th tier in each category, the TRUE FINAL STAGE appears.

Travel through the constellations of the zodiac, clearing a certain amount of missions in each one. When all the missions in a constellation are cleared, you play a bonus song under Extra Stage rules. Clear the song and it is yours to keep. The signs can be done in any order. Once the 12 signs are completed, you go to Ophiuchus, which has no missions and consists solely of playing a song under EES rules.

--EDIT--
I would have two EX stage systems that you could pick from freely when getting extra stage.

Similar to X3, it would be a star grade system but instead it would be a star a song.
the stars would be FC, AA, FC AAA, PFC AAA, MFC AAA, complete 17 footer, 18 footer, 19 footer and so long and you could not do the same star twice in a game.

the first would be "SINGULAR ex GATE"
it would be a song by song format up to 3 songs consisting of 3 tiers. You would only be able to play 1 song a game and the ratings would be 11-13-15 for tier 1, 12-14-16 for tier 2 and finaly 13-15-17 for tier 3.

the second would be "PARADOXIAL ex GATE"
it would consist of either older songs with a challenge chart (or revised challenge chart) or a remix of an older song equaling 9 songs. you would only be able to play 1 song a game. Ratings would vary between 12 -16.

after completing each gate, a clear symbol (check maybe) would appear across the banner. After clearing both gates, a message that says that a new song has appeared in each gate would come up. When checking which ever gate, a song that should belong to the other gate would appear as an encore ex stage (ex: a new song in paradoxial ex gate or an older song with revised chart in singular ex gate) The final songs would be 18 footers and after completing both would entitle you to a special end credits video with a final grade of each gate followed by unlocking "THE FINALE GATE."

"THE FINAL GATE" would contain the last boss song.

the system would only have 9 true boss songs.
any comments on my system pos or neg welcome

THE HARMONY AND DISCORD SYSTEM

First off
In order to enter HARMONY and DISCORD, you must earn SYNCRO POINTS.

in order to gain SYNCRO POINTS you must do a multiples of each condition (ex: multiple A's or FC's in a row)
Once you stop the multiples, then you get a count of how many in a row. (ex: 4 A's in a row with 3 FC's in a row)

The different types of SYNCRO POINTS are as follows:
-GRADES (D,C,B, A,AA,PFC AAA, MFC AAA)
-FC's
-DIFFICULTY RATINGS (10's,11's,12's,etc)
-ABC's (HERO, HEALING VISION, HAPPY ANGEL,)
-SERIES (DDR X songs, DDR X2 songs, DDR X3 songs)

HARMONY and DISCORD will have an equal amount of songs. (8 songs each)
Both must be in balance (or in sync) with each other. (meaning HARMONY will have a song that coexists within DISCORD)

You can switch between the HARMONY group and the DISCORD group

Also, the HARMONY song and the DISCORD song that balance each other must have the same grade (if EARTH had a AA, then MOON would need a AA too so that it would be balanced)

If you unbalance HARMONY or DISCORD, CHAOS will begin to flow between the two and you would have to re-attempt EARTH and MOON to re-balance each.

If you continue to unbalance HARMONY and DISCORD, CHAOS will flow between more songs and more songs would need to be re-attempted.

You will only get 3 tries to balance HARMONY AND DISCORD, any more then CHAOS would overflow and you would need to re-access HARMONY AND DISCORD and START IT ALL OVER

-NOW-
After syncing HARMONY and DISCORD, you will need to seal the CHAOS by clearing 3 HARD songs in a row (3 18's) without a break. each song would sound and feel more erratic then the last to show the CHAOS fighting back.

You can clear the CHAOS round but the tricky part is to seal the CHAOS and not to DESTROY the CHAOS as destroying CHAOS will break the balance between HARMONY and DISCORD and you will NEED OT START ALL OVER AGAIN

The way you seal CHAOS is to obtain the same grade between each CHAOS song.
YOU WILL ONLY GET THREE CHANCES TO DO IT TOO.

-FINALLY-
After sealing CHAOS, credits will roll and you win

That...is...awesome...

Oh, I want to ask something. If the way you seal CHAOS is to obtain the same grade between each CHAOS song, then destroying CHAOS is to obtain a different grade on each CHAOS song that will disturb the "balance" right?

DIMENSION BREAK
In order to open Dimension Break, you will have to pass 3 Replicant-D-Action songs with VD as the Final Stage song. Each song should be cleared on :dif: or above on the same grade for the first two stages and a grade that is higher than the grade achived in the two stages (e.g. Playing Sakura Sunrise, Possession, and VD, SS and Posession got an A, VD must get an AA or AAA).

Instructions:
For the first time, you will see 5 Dimensions to be chosen, but you cannot go inside the Dimensions. To open the Dimension Gate, you will have to select a Dimension and the Gate will ask you a question. You will have to choose A, B, C, or D using (in order) Up, Left, Down, Right. After that, you can go in and face 3 songs (Reality Generators). Pass them on the highest difficulty available and getting an A or above to face boss song (Imagination Pillars). Beat that song with AA or above to distort a Dimension.

Distorting all five dimensions will open the sixth dimension. Open and you will have to face the final boss song. The chart itself will include confusing features such as slowdowns, speed-ups, stops and unusual patterns that will make your body flow for a direction for a while and forcing your body to turn to a completely different directions and moves. (LOL) You will have to pass in the difficulty available on A or above to finish it.

Restrictions:
You cannot choose CUT, JUMP OFF, FREEZE OFF, NOTE and RAINBOW.

Dimensions:
1. Dimension of Light
2. Dimension of Sounds
3. Dimension of Texture
4. Dimension of Feeling
5. Dimension of Dream
6. Distorted Dimension

---

@TheSirius17

So... we can either use RAINBOW or FLAT (though no one really wants to use FLAT anyway)? Why did you restrict VIVID? It's the default, y'know.

---

@Silverhawke: Oh yeah, I got them jumbled up a bit. So, RAINBOW is restricted. LOL.

---

@TheSirius17

That would be correct!

Also, I kind of thought about making the CHAOS round harder by making the same grade and combo go together (ex: AA + FC) but felt that it would be unfair to the players.

BUT!!!
I also thought that you could do a second run through as it would save your score for the HARMONY AND DISCORD system so that you could re-attempt the entire system to achieve a better score/earn something along the lines of profile stats/medals/accessories for your characters.

ALSO TO NOTE
I think for the most part (excluding a few things) this could be implemented into a stepmania 5 theme which would be cool.

Some new ideas


New ES Relevant Lifebar Options:

HARD - Lifebar is red colored and is more difficult for the player. Goods will cause the lifebar to drop while Almosts and below will almost always fail the player. Greats do not move the lifebar at all, while Perfect and above will cause the lifebar to raise slightly. Is a useful option if the player is trying to Full Combo a song and wants the song to end quickly if they do not do so.

EX-HARD - Lifebar is golden colored is extremely difficult for the player. Greats will cause the lifebar to drop while Goods and below will almost always fail the player. Perfects do not move the lifebar at all, while Marvelous will cause the lifebar to raise slightly. Is a useful option if the player is trying to Perfect Full Combo a song and wants the song to end quickly if they do not do so.





Extra Stages:

Extra Stage: Can be accessed if two of the players three songs were AA'ed (or A'd if the song was rated 15 or above). In order for red songs to appear, the difficulties of the songs played up to ES must add up to at least 40. Certain red songs require even higher. The challenge charts for red songs are locked during ES. The player is forced to play with either a HARD lifebar or an EX-HARD lifebar. Some songs are available for Extra Stage only, but are not red in color nor very difficult. However, these stages cannot unlock OMES for the player since they are below 15 in difficulty. Once a certain e-amuse level is reached, the special ES folder may be played during Extra Stage.


One More Extra Stage: No longer called Encore Extra Stage. Is accessed if the player AA'ed a song rated 15 or higher for their Extra Stage, which for the first time does not have to be a red song. The player may freely choose a song for OMES, but all charts rated below 15 are removed and the OMES must be played with an EX-HARD lifebar. To get the red songs to appear for OMES, the player may have either AA'ed a red song for their Extra Stage, or the difficulties played thus far must add up to 55 or higher. Challenge charts are freely available to play for all red songs on OMES, but the fact that they are typically in the 18+ range combined with the forced EX-HARD lifebar make it extremely likely that the player will fail them very quickly if they are played. If all of the songs in the special ES folder have been AA'ed, the special OMES song for the folder may be played during One More Extra Stage.





Edit:

And in addition to that...

Celeste Diamond One More Extra Stage

The "Celeste" folders, split into Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, are accessible during Final/Extra Stage after completing certian requirements and initially contain 3 songs each. Once all three songs in a folder have been AAd, a forth "red" song is available in that folder for the Extra Stage. Once each of the 3 red songs have been AAd, the player will go to another folder called "Celeste Diamond" during the OMES, which contains only the final song.

So this is something I've been thinking of. It incorporates the final-extra-encore system in addition to an extra folder.
[L] = Licenses, [KO] = Konami Original, [C] = Crossover, [R] = Revival/Console crossovers. Which set you get depends on the song you played prior to your final stage.
All Challenge charts of the regular extra stages are unlocked with e-Amuse or at MAX unlock level.

Final Stage:
[L] Propane Nightmares (Celldweller Remix) / Pendulum / 87-174 / 3/7/9/13/(15)
[KO] You And Me / jun feat. Scott Dolph / 175 / 2/6/9/13

[R] Insaner (L.E.D.'s Punishment Mix) / Jondi & Spesh / 73-350 / 5/8/11/16/(17)

And the extra system proper:

ELEMENTAL GALAXY
Unlocked by getting AAs on each of the Final and Extra Stages, this system consists of 7 sets of 2 songs, each based off some kind of element and also the Attributes of Yu-Gi-Oh. The songs are mostly Konami Originals with the odd crossover. Both songs of an element are played back-to-back. The first four sets can be played in any order. Upon clearing those and getting at least 850K on each song, Light and Dark are unlocked. After those two are cleared with AAs, the seventh and final set, Heaven, opens up.

FIRE:
Fire Strike / Junk / 158 / 3/7/9/13/15
全世界の火傷 / あさき / 215 / 5/7/10/16/17

D'oh why did I think it was The 4th. Fixing it...

EDIT: DDR SPECTRAL and its extra system ELEMENTAL GALAXY now has a home. There's been a few changes to it.

I LIKE that ELEMENTAL GALAXY approach.

the "ROAD TO CHAMPIONS" extra stage system

THE SYSTEM WILL BE e-amuse/local synchronized PLAY (you don't need e-amuse but having it makes it easier)

In order to start the ROAD OF CHAMPIONS, you need to earn MEDALS by collecting RIBBONS

based on 3 - 5 stage sets, RIBBON REQUIREMENTS are simply as follows:
earn 1 FC, earn 3 FC's, earn 1 AA, earn 3 AA's, earn 1 AAA, earn 3 AAA's (each can only be earned once a round)
you can also earn RIBBONS by accepting challenges by RANDOM, RIVALS or LOCAL (the player before you)
(23 different ribbon's)

earn 1 PFC, earn 3 PFC's, clear 1 lvl 15, clear 3 lvl 15's - clear 1 lvl 20, clear 3 lvl 20's,

*the only way to enter the EXTRA STAGES is to earn 3 RIBBON'S a game.

MEDALS are harder to earn as you need to accumulate a number of specific RIBBON'S:
have "5" 1-FC RIBBON'S = SINGLE FC MEDAL
have "5" 3-FC RIBBON'S = MULTI FC MEDAL
have "5" 1-AA RIBBON'S = SINGLE AA MEDAL
have "5" 3-AA RIBBON's = MULTI AA MEDAL

SINGLE AAA MEDAL, MULTI AAA MEDAL, SINGLE PFC MEDAL, MULTI PFC MEDAL, SINGLE lvl 15 MEDAL, MULTI lvl 15 MEDAL - SINGLE lvl 20 MEDAL, MULTI lvl 20 MEDAL, LOCAL CHALLENGE MEDAL, RANDOM CHALLENGE MEDAL, RIVAL CHALLENGE MEDAL

*another way of earning MEDALS is to get through the normal EXTRA STAGE songs by AAA PFC each song.
this is the "EXTRA SONG MEDAL" and "ENCORE SONG MEDAL"
(25 different medals)

the system will consist of 6 categories with 3 songs each (except DIAMOND which will have 3+1 secret song)

EMERALD lvl 16's
BRONZE lvl 16's
SILVER lvl 17's
GOLD lvl 17's
PLATINUM lvl 18's
DIAMOND lvl 18's + lvl 19

getting into EMERALD - SILVER is simple as you only need a specified amount of MEDALS
EMERALD = 4 medals
BRONZE = 8 medals
SILVER = 15 medals

when completing EMERALD - SILVER, you gain the EMERALD - SILVER MEDAL signifying that you passed the area.
*IF YOU AAA PFC EACH SONG IN THE SET, YOU GET A +MEDAL which you need for the secret song in DIAMOND.

-NOW-
to enter GOLD you need to have a specific set of MEDALS
GOLD
have "EMERALD, BRONZE and SILVER" MEDALS, 3 SINGLE PFC MEDALS, 1 MULTI PFC MEDAL, 3 SINGLE AAA MEDALS, 1 MULTI AAA MEDALS
PLATINUM
have "EMERALD, BRONZE, SILVER and GOLD" MEDALS, all SINGLE MEDALS (single lvl 20 and single mfc medal excluded)
DIAMOND
have "ALL SPECIAL MEDALS," all SINGLE MEDALS,(exclude lvl 20 and mfc) all MULTI MEDALS (exclude lvl 20 and mfc multi) LOCAL CHALLENGE MEDAL, RANDOM CHALLENGE MEDAL and RIVAL CHALLENGE MEDAL (if e-amuse is available)
-If you obtained "EMERALD+, BRONZE+, SILVER+, GOLD+ and PLATINUM+" you can access the secret boss song.

If for "ANY REASON" you fail at any point in the sets, your score is recorded on the machine/e-amuse and you will need to start over from scratch (you still keep all RIBBON'S and MEDALS for scoring/place purposes.

*If you have obtained the EMERALD+ through SILVER+ and you lose on gold you can lose the + medals and continue on BUT when you reach DIAMOND you won't access the secret boss song

after completing the RTC, you get the RTC MEDAL and UNLOCK each boss song with whatever hidden challenge charts they have.

FINALLY
adding the groove radar into the mix, maxing out each side awards you a MEDAL (STREAM MEDAL, VOLTAGE MEDAL, CHAOS MEDAL, FREEZE MEDAL, AIR MEDAL) not needed for RTC but looks good to have.

Made this for a DDR game idea. It's similar to Limit Burst but with two tiers of sorts.
The OMES will be added later.
