DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

Looking back, I could have sworn Naoki had said something on his FB about remixing Let Them Move for this mix.

I heard he just wanted to for the heck of it.

300 BPM and more echo pls

I know I've expressed many times before my desire for Let Them Move to be in this game, but seriously, if they don't revive it now (you know, after reviving all of f#$%ing 2nd Mix) they aren't reviving it. Ever. That's one less reason to always look forward a future mix.

So missing a song is a legit reason not to look forward for new game.

Most of that difficulty bridge lies in the boss songs from DDR X, and to a somewhat lesser extent, the EVOLVED and jun boss songs. NY EVOLVED, SILVER*DREAM, and KIMONOvPRINCESS nonwithstanding, of course. I'd also suggest the easier Replicant songs, and 888 too, and possibly the SuperNOVA 2 boss songs on .

Corey, I do hope you're trolling.

TRIP MACHINE ~luv mix~

A few really hard charts (18/19/20) wouldn't hurt (except when the difficulty comes from abuse of gimmicks). Every song does not have to be PFCed 1 day after its unlock. Hell, every song does not have to be clearable by every player.
But I do agree that we need more 16 and 17 to help players get better.

All those songs are in X3 mode anyways. And should you count only up to 2ndMIX? Cuz this is 2ndMIX MODE anyway, not 2ndReMIX.


Before we see our first 20, we'll see lots of 19s first.
Songs are getting too fast and too step filled that the only way to make it hard without filling it with 16ths stream is with gimmicks.


What's the point of that song then? Just for accessory? I heard PIU players said "PIU is better than DDR because there's a chart so freakin' hard that no one can clear it."

Isn't that dumb reasoning?

Part of my point. Let Them Move was not part of normal gameplay in 2ndMIX, but rather in 3rdMIX. It's obvious that Konami only revived the core songs from the original arcade. And the only core 2ndMIX song that got left out was STRICTLY BUSINESS from 1st.

And about X3 Mode, so is PARANOiA and TRIP MACHINE, but that's not the reason why those others are missing.

But of the 73 13s the ratings are REALLY spread out. There's 13s like exotic ethnic and Afronova that vary significantly in difficulty from songs like Sakura, AM-3P Chaos, and On The Break. Then with the 14s they blend the 9s and 10s from pre-X nicely, such as Healing-D-Vision and Konoko.

Plus every game has a learning curve and doesn't usually have a million charts at the upper level. Pop'n doesn't have many 43s and there isn't even room to work up to a 43 like Silent EX. IIDX has around 70 12s and once you get past 12s like AA [a] and Golden Cross [a] you're more than likely left with stuff like Nageki [a]/Himiko [a]/Paradise Lost [a]/Mendes [a] and there isn't anything to "ease" into them other than playing them a lot. DM doesn't have many 99s and most of the difficulties are arguably misrated anyways.

so yeah basically...get stamina lol. Play the charts over and over until you can do them. If you don't want to do that then don't play them.

EDIT: there are 85 13s (excluding DP) and 34 14s. Not to mention plenty of the 15s are arguably easier than some 14s.

Er, what 14 and 15s have you been playing?

Sorry, I meant it would be okay if only a handful of players were able to clear the hardest charts in the game. How many people can clear Mei Another in IIDX ?

Only a handful of players can clear 18s and 19s as it is lol.

A direct line in record of Trip Machine Evolution

Nice, cleared it too! Too bad he's just shy of an S (or is that AA? I forget the 2ndMIX grades).

Love the background video too, wish they had more of those in X3.

And here's the Another chart :

2ndMIX grades only goes to SS, a Full Combo AND (i think) a low percentage of GREATS.

That gate stop, so tricky. -.-

I'm hoping to take a trip overseas this summer, gonna shoot for getting to an X3 machine while i'm there.
That's totally not the only reason for taking the trip.
