BPM Changes on different difficulty? This is new to DDR. Is there proof?

If this is true, I'm now EXTREMELY intrigued to see the
chart.

I can't wait to play the damn simfile for this. Did .ssc files just get canonized?

that is weird. How is that going to look if two players clear Endymion on different difficulties (I.e. Basic vs Difficult) and play A4A?

This is very interesting. It'd be great if they did this back when they started making crazy BPM gimmick songs in the first place, but it's pretty cool to see them do this now at least. Ironically in this instance it's actually causing fails which is pretty amazing in its own right.
I'd be pretty happy if they went back and nerfed the bpm changes and stops of
and
for some of the other boss songs, but knowing how reluctant KONAMI is to do anything besides fixes to old charts these days, that probably wont happen.

Now I'm really curious about what happens if two people play Endymion 
and (1) both pass, (2) only the
player passes, (3) only the
player passes.

Has anyone checked to see if the Difficult chart didn't change to remove its BPM changes in accordance with the new Basic?

I want to believe the hardest difficulty will have priority.

ACE FOR ACES BDP
It seems the Basic chart doesn't have stops, slowdowns nor speedups.

I dunno. PIU did it first.
But then again, I guess DDR caught on with the practice of employing speed changes on individual charts after 10+ years or so.

Someone just played Ace for Aces on difficult and confirmed it has the same tempo changes.

Split timing, huh? This is a ballsy move on Konami's part and I wholeheartedly approve.
I propose that ACE FOR ACES on the DDR A Beta simfile category should be SSC only so it gives a push for more players to use SM5.
EDIT: Ah, it's already been done. Good.

So the question is, what's gonna happen when this is unlocked for normal play and one person wants to play
and the other
? If P1 doesn't have the gimmicks while P2 does, seems that P2 could cheat a little by looking at P1's side...(even if the charts aren't the same, some of the notes after pauses line up on both charts I'm assuming like after the first stop in the
chart, so looking over the other player's screen is still useful)

Looks like it's possible to play Ace For Aces on
and
at the same time. Photos only, no video.

36% of the way through the S-
chart on video. We're still waiting on a video of the full chart; shouldn't take more than a day I'd hope.
https://twitter.com/top_maxwell/status/908220968039981057
Results screen of the S-
chart. It has 311 steps and 19 freezes.
Edit: Misread "steps" as "stops", but I suppose both are equally possible. Either way, we could easily see
have totally different gimmicks compared to
to make it even harder.
EDIT: I missed it live by a handful of hours, but we have a video of Ace For Aces S-
now! Dr.D and Estepper look like the first to pass it on video!
(Skip to 2:46:55)
Since they played Endymion on
and failed
, and got Ace For Aces
, this confirms that one player making it to Encore gives both players that difficulty, and both players making it to Encore gives them separate difficulties. Looks like what I guessed 3 weeks ago was completely wrong. On the good side, this makes the possibility of Endymion
-> Ace For Aces
much higher.

while I did
. It gave both of us Ace for Aces 
Odd - did only the other player meet the EES conditions? (If you got below a AA+/didn't have 7 heat power/etc.)

I'd guess the same thing as when there's a song with a large BPM change, and both players use wildly different speed mods so both can read off the other's side at opportune times (i.e. nothing unexpected will happen).
