DanceDanceRevolution X (PS2) (Japan)

[quote=Daiz]How about they bring Dance Dance Revolution to the US CS seen. That desperately needs to be in a US mix [/quote]
No, just no.

Max., yes

Naoki...I don't like Naoki much, but I did enjoy his stuff like Insertion or Orion.79 or Pluto Relinquish (in a way).[/quote]That's by U1, not Naoki. You're probably thinking about Pluto.[/quote]
Baby, I heard that Hostility would make it to DDR X (PS2) Japan.

Pluto Relinquish = 2MB... not U1

Er...
you know that 2MB is a U1 pseudonym?

---

Wow, I can't believe I am just learning this now I always thought 2MB and U1 were separate

Don't worry, it's a common error. For a long time, I thought 2MB was Naoki (thus, separate from U1).

What bothers me is how it starts with gallops and then just goes into quarter notes. Ugh...

True, although the first time I saw the steps, I didn't like how the steps eased up when the song got tenser (towards the beginning).

i disagree here. you're obviously talking about the heavy steps, which IMO are garbage. the jumps arent fun(they arent fun in super-max-me mix oni either), and the stream is really basic, its just at a visually fast speed that isnt really that fast by today's standards. the only redeeming part of the heavy steps is the paranoia segment.

as for the boss songs, its about damn time DDR got some boss songs that actually sound good. IIDX has been doing it forever with songs like murmur twins(it was the 7th style extra stage, IIRC) and now the DDR boss songs are starting to be enjoyable to listen to, instead of only having a small handful of people who think hard steps = good song liking it(with a few exceptions, paranoia respect is a bad ass song).

Tell me about it. I was so tired of the idea that only fast songs could be boss songs (16ths are too hard, oh noes) and that they had to be made specifically for that purpose or it wasn't possible. Now, we don't just have Max 300, Fascination MAXX, Max whatever....there's also songs like on the bounce, Silver Dream, and Concertino in Blue in the boss category. Hopefully, they'll continue to embrace this and stop trying to make the difficulty seem so artificial.

Amongst others, Across the nightmare, Destiny Lovers, Mars War 3, Freedom, I Need You (True Platinum Mix), Burnin' The Floor (Momo Mix), Chikara, Brilliant R.E.D.

In the case of Destiny Lovers and Brilliant R.E.D., those didn't appear on any PS2 mix.

Oh, and I also like Max. (period) *preps 12-gauge in defense*

What do you mean about Destiny Lovers/Brilliant RED not appearing on a PS2 mix? Destiny Lovers was on EX-JP and Brilliant RED SN-JP

We're talking in terms of US PS2 games.

Shows Loving You on doubles, among other things.

Thanks for correcting me. I was in a rush while typing that.

Do you realize that you've defeated yourself in this statement? If a song doesn't sound hard at all (Unreal) then MAKING it hard is entirely making difficulty artificial. on the bounce Challenge is the same way, as a lot of the 16ths in it aren't in the song. A lot of the streams in Trigger Challenge and that awful SABER WING remix... the boss songs continue to have artificial difficulty, and it's usually the ones that are faster or sound more boss-like that end up actually having the most logical charts. Pluto Relinquish Heavy, Pluto Challenge, Paranoia Hades Heavy, Fascination ~eternal love mix~ Heavy, Healing-D-Vision Heavy (with proper timing) and many others all have brutally honest charts, and they're all fast.

My main beef is more or less that normal songs should be able to have boss charts, and they should limit actual boss songs down to two or so, and make them actually sound dark and sinister (Healing Vision Angelic Mix, Orion.78 Civilization Mix, Legend of Max, etc). In other words, leave a boss song to 2MB and it's all good.

I will also quickly stand up and say that MAX. (period) could potentially argued against having artificial difficulty (except that stupid paranoia section, once again) because the things you jump on are very loud, the streams all follow that spacey synth, the part directly after 180BPM is ridiculously honest, and the 600BPM does follow a bunch of bass hits that run at 600BPM 4th notes. By all means, I never thought anything but the 180BPM section was BS on that chart at all, and at least the 180 section has a reason of some sort for being there.

When you apply gimmicks to boost the difficulty of a song or speed it up solely to justify heavy streams, that's artificial.

Listen closely for a "clicking" noise. That's what it's following.

A Dancemania license, so it's probably not coming to the US.

Sucks, it was by far the best BTF.

Agreed

Seconded...

Ah, you can see 2nd Stage change to FINAL STAGE when an Xmix is highlighted.

I prefer Blue Fire mix.
