DDR X2 (AC) (International)

This took a few hours to do but it's up:

DDR X2 Banner Photos (378 banners from the UK location test)

I lol'd at LOVE LOVE SUGER being near the end of the list. Did they forget to change the sort order?

Good job on getting them, Al.

It uses the same sorting order as the Japanese version, which lists English titles first (A - Z), and then lists Japanese titles (using the Hiragana table).

Every song is exactly where it is in the JP version, instead of accomodating romanised / translated titles alphabeticaly.

All song titles that were originally Japanese characters appear at the end of the list as that's the order it appears in Japanese machines. So basically yeah, they didn't bother re-ordering it for English machines yet.

cool stuff, thanks for the upload.

now that i have pictures and i'm not looking at a wall of mind numbing text i'm seeing reratings that are probably old news by now, but it looks like most of the x-specials got their ratings dropped. either that or the step files i got from here are wrong. it looked like only kakumei, max300, and maxx unlimited kept their rating from X.

also, who decided that unreal is as hard as max300? fire that guy.

Most X-Specials did have their wrong ratings on DDR X toned down on X2.

It's more of a 14, yeah.

Getting REALLY close.

Thanks for the upload of the banners. The PARANOiA in PARANOiA ~HADES~ changed font again.

14 does not always mean 10

There are plenty of old 9s that became 14s and vice versa.

Also Jump streams can be pretty tough.

I can see DDR (the song) and DDR 1st mix (folder) getting mixed up

This is what you get after finishing the 6 puzzles.

I saw my friend Wero play Valkyrie on Doubles. I'm going to take a video next time and he suggested I should play it for him cause I know the song better. In the beginning is has jumps unlike single.

too bad theyre both 15s. i would agree with unreal being a 14.

Here, hope this helps:
Valkyrie dimension DP chart?

I found this in DP Wiki.

1040 max BPM. Looks like we have a new winner.

Although you aren't exactly stepping in the 1040 zone, so it's not a huge biggie.

To be honest I'd have made Max 300 a 14 and left Unreal as a 15. Seriously, I just can't get the jumps proper.

---

Yeah, that was the only reason I would rank Unreal at Max 300 level or maybe higher, but there are only two parts in that song that has those retarded step-jumps, so it should stay a 14 while Max 300 keeps the 15 for the obvious stamina needed.

I cheated some of Unreal's step-jumps into gallop-jumps to beat it (which thankfully only took one try). Also, just yesterday, I failed Max 300 on Stepmania in the second half (4/4 Life/Judge), but that my have been due to a small play area.

EDIT: I believe that MAX 300 and Unreal should be 15's, as Unreal requires more stamina to clear due to all of the jumps. If the jumps had one arrow moved earlier to have 16th triplets, Unreal woul probably still be a little harder.

---

Unreal and MAX 300 are both equally challenging for different reasons.

Something I noticed about the location test (kinda late, I know); the Hidden+ and Sudden+ mods didn't seem to work. Tried a song with 2x and Hidden+/Sudden+ (the combination mod) and only 2x worked.
