We have plenty.

Yep, definitely agreed. Plenty of great 18’s, don’t even need to list any specifically. As for 19’s, Egoism is decent I feel.

Weren’t most of these made after VD? (Obviously except for VD, but I’d say that’s close enough)

This too
888 is one of my favorite 18s, tbh

Over the Period

Synopsis of SP 19s:

Valkyrie Dimesion
"The only difference between 18s and 19s is 477 bpm streams"

PARANOiA Revolution
DADADADADA, DADADADADA, DADA-DADADADADA, DADADADADA...

EGOISM440
"Okay, so slightly slower than 477 bpm, but a lot more of it this time."

Over the Period
"Okay, so we have some gimmicks, but this is really about as good as this is gonna get."

ENDYMION
"I stand corrected! But we're giving you A4A as an OMES reward, so fuck you."


DROP OUT (KAC-Special)
YEAH, FUCK YOU.

Wat where did this secret 19 come from

It unlocks when you clear all four 19s in a row on stealth

Rinon's adventure challenge charts in a nutshell:

New Century: 18? Alright, you have my attention --> Shock Arrows?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAA

Rising Fire Hawk: Ooh, that was a pretty great 17. One more try just because!

Astrogazer: Weird notes, yet it strangely flows. I'll give that one to you, step chart maker.

Come to Life: Konami step chart makers on a roll here!! Nice!!

Emera: Meh, not bad.

Ishtar: MOAR SHOCK ARROWS?!?!?! ENOUGH!!

Out of Focus: Cool, I like it.

Neutino: What happened here? Looks like someone brought their kid to work day?

Cosy Catastrophe: Love it or hate it, there is no middle ground.

Endymion: I found the devil himself in the game. Let's try A4A expert --> I can't even tell which is worse!!

---

Don't we already have a thread for these "synopsises"?

---

We do.

---

damn you bitches will do anything to hate on shock arrows when you can’t even play the game

don't gotta be stabbed to know it'll hurt :P

---

I agree with this sentiment exactly.

---

Shock Arrows aren't terrible at all. I don't understand why they get so much hate. Sure at first they were used pretty badly in X as some SA charts were just copy-pasted or charts with SAs thrown in, or stuff like Pluto The First , but lately they've been used pretty well.

I personally have not played New Century or Ishtar , but I have played plenty of SA charts to know that they are used very well in both of those charts. They flow well (because I know how to execute them) and look fun to play. Before, KONAMI had no idea what the hell they were doing with them. Now they do, and the result is pretty good.

You have to play SA charts to understand. If you haven't played enough SA charts, don't take a dump on them.

---

I have played pretty much every shock arrow chart and i can vouch for them being a pile of farts. There's exceptions like smooch , SigSig , New Century , Ishtar , and Diamond Dust but for the most part they're garbage.

Maybe the stepchart designers have more trouble designing creative SA charts which should always use 4 or 8 panels, unlike mines that can go one by one. Even the non-SA charts have that "either a hit or miss" quality...

---

Yeah idk wtf konami was thinking when they decided they had to make shock arrows unique from mines but that was the WRONG way to do it, especially since resultantly mines can act as SAs but not vice-versa

I can play shock arrow charts and can also vouch that a majority of them are terrible. And I can say that a majority of the reason is how shock arrows have been designed for DDR itself.

I get that they didn't want to "copy" ITG2 with the mines stuff, but making shock arrows take up all 4/8 columns all the time is asinine.

---

It's a terrible concept at its core, even if there are a few charts that have made them work like Smooch CSP. If you want people to jump, just put a goddamn jump there...

---

Lovely Radio is the best SA chart. Don't @ me though.
