DDR X2 (AC) (International)

Last I checked, unlocks come at 12:00 noon (Japan time, natch) on the dot. So the RDA songs will come in an hour and a half.

Honestly, no DDR doubles cab has ever had one sensor per panel... that would just be ridiculous.

It's 4 per panel, one along each side, as always has been.

Not sure where the 1 sensor per panel thing came in, but it's false.

I do recall, however, that when X was released I saw a video of the cardboard mod being used, comparing side by side the with and without, and the cardboard modded one gave a couple of greats where the non modded one gave far more.
I'm guessing perhaps in reducing the size and inset-ness of the pads they've slightly increased the gap between the brackets and sensors?

Meh.
all I know is NZ still hasn't got a cabinet and never will.

I'll spare the angst and say that a version of the DDR X cabs had one sensor. When a panel was opened, the sensor wasn't stuck to anything. June.H, I think opened up the pads and gave some more general facts about the cab.

What i want to see though, is someone's observation that there are indeed 4 sensors each panel on the DDR X cabs.

"Red with a twist, orange of the fire
Green for tourmaline, Yellow mello hello hello..."

hah what?
Mind you, that does sound typical of konami. You think they can't be any more idiotic then something like that happens.

I'd love to see pictures though haha.

---

See if you can make out the sensors in this post.

I'll retract my statement when proven wrong.

That's still 4 per arrow, but man that looks terrible.
Still, it looks like it'd be possible to hack some standard sensors in there, if you really wanted to.
I'm guessing that's what the cardboard mod I mentioned would have been (it didn't show inside the pads) - putting thick cardboard in between the green sensor and the black rubber housing would make it infinitely more sensitive.

Looks like these pads were constructed with 'cheap and easy to put together' in mind with no thought given to 'maintenance and easy to take apart'

*facepalm* in the direction of betson.

---

Yeah, that's one thing i can agree on. The pads looked really ugly with that hard to remove big panel.

---

I would like to point out that I have seen these pictures. They are from the X1 US machine. With that being said, there's a good chance that with the new pads on X2 look nothing like this.

---

Well its past noon now in japan. Are you sure Noon is the time unlocks come? I thought it was 2 or 3...

---

Does anyone know if the soundtrack is only available on Konami Style? Can anyone tell me what this translates to? Google's translation wasn't very clear.

※こちらの商品は現在のところコナミスタイルおよび一部イベントのみでの販売を予定しております。

Ok i am at the arcade now and i can confirm that there is no unlocks yet

Like I said, I'm pretty sure its like 3 or something. Keep waiting and keep us posted please. thanks.

Holy Fucking Christ on a cracker .... Mei oni had 730 steps, 888 oni had 753 and those were 18s. What hell hath Konami wrought upon the players?

---

From feeling up the X2 here (lol) it really didn't seem like this terrible shallow design was in place, but maybe next time I got I'll try to take a panel apart and see what's underneath.

I guess we'll find out soon enough. How do you play the challenge charts anyway? VS replicant course? Extra Stage/EES?

---
