DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

Haha I didn't see that. Nothing came out in the search results yesterday, although that's as of yesterday morning +8 GMT.
Anyway, 7 for BSP in 2ndMIX scale.

^^ Thanks. Simfile updated.

Is it just me, or are the stepchart qualities between 2MB and NAOKI seem drastically different? Tohoku EVOLVED's chart was well done while the new PARANOiA and TRIP MACHINE felt rushed and looks almost random, as with many of NAOKI's latter works. Is there a sub-division among the stepchart writing team who works on specific songs? I find it hard to believe that the same people who wrote Tohoku EVOLVED's steps to write PARANOiA Revolution and TRIP MACHINE Evolution.

If you say both of that song step random, try Anti Matter or VD with 1x & FLAT arrow.

EDIT & pointless: Oh my rate is 57.3

Since both songs are on x1 Flat, It's hard to tell really exactly how they go, so hold off judgement until we can actually see them (and I would take simfiles with a grain of salt until then). PARANOiA Revolution is a mashup of other boss charts, of course it's going to be a little weird, it's a tribute chart. Dance Dance Revolution is kind of weird too for that reason.

TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION looks to flow quite well as far as I can follow the arrow wall until I get lost about half way through.

I actually thought Trip Machine Evolution looked pretty good and didn't like Tohoku Evolved.

I like Trip Machine Evolution a lot, sounds great and the stepchart is actually really really good. ParaRevo is ok for what it is, I've always thought that taking chunks of other charts and cramming them all together AND making them fit the music is kind of silly, but as a tribute is alright too. The only songs with cuestionable stepcharts in this game seem to be the ported-from-CS-versions material, IMO.

This is assuming 2MB and Naoki both create the charts. I honestly don't think that's the case.

By the way, U1 probably composed PARANOiA Revolution and TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION. Keep that in mind.

What a shocking background @ 1:23

So after all this time, Konami releases MAX. (period) for the arcade. Just not the way people were expecting.

How many are going to call X3 the "final DDR game" because of this?

is it really added to X3 or are you just being silly

PARANOiA Revolution

Just watch the above video. It does the same "look how far we've come" flashback and embeds the 2ndMIX announcer at the end as part of the song much like "Thank you for playing."

Too similar to be a coincidence, it's essentially PARANOiA. (period).

Well, somehow, I also thought that way.

I hope this doesn't mean it's the end of DDR.

maybe it's meant to say goodbye to NAOKI for all the years he work on DDR
EDIT: Revoluton, EVOLUTION...-Re:born-

I still don't know why MAX. (period) hasn't been seen anywhere outside of the PS2. It's one of the most fun boss songs. It's at least thirty times better than Pluto the First, at least chart-wise.

It's a hint, folks.

You got to move on to a new game.
Perhaps Sound Voltex or Jubeat or Rerave.

REVOLUTION, EVOLUTION, "INNOVATION"

since that is "supposedly" Naoki's favorite phrase. I wonder what Innovation will be.

Dance evolution , perhaps ?
