DDR X2 (AC) (International)

I just wonder why "S" grade removed from DDR ?

From my knowledge, "S" grade is the highest rank of quality on Japan.

---

Um, it's not like by national decree in Japan, 'S' is the penultimate grade for things...

I don't see what the big deal is.

You can always distinguish your MFC AAAs from PFC AAAs easily by just seeing the FC mark next to the grade, in a sense you already have your AAAA grades. It's not like they're impossible to tell apart.

AAAAs will just look really odd on a DDR in my opinion.

Compared to other BEMANI games, IIDX is much harder than DDR and has never ever awarded 4 As for anyone getting the MAX SCORE.

This

Guys, it's not a big deal. Getting a MFC splash and looking at a AAA with "Marvelous Full Combo" on it is enough. Why the heck would you add another A to it. It's retarted if you ask me. Then in another 10 years, you'll have AAAAAAs =p ugh

The sense of accomplisment should come from getting the score you want from playing the song, moreso than getting letters at the end of the song. Check it out, if you pass a test and you got a 100++ on it and its a test to get you out of school, lets face it: you finished and got out of school and not always going to remember the grade.

Too me it's the score than the letter grade. a 98xxxxxx grade is better than 95xxxxxx

This is part of the reason why taking DDR this seriously is a complete waste of time and energy. Get over it.

Is it really that HUGE of a deal if there's AAAA or not? It's not like someone will not play it if there's no AAAA.

---

Just scrawl "Perfect!" in red text over the AAA like in EuroMix or something. Job done.

---

We already have that in some form.

AAAA talk is so boring, I swear.

Okay, let's finished this debate about AAAA grade and discussing another topic about X2.

---

I just hope they won't screw over the U.S with another badly made cabinet.

Well seeing how they have now discontinued the bad machines, the odds of that is very low. On the other hand, they always find a way to screw the US somehow, and don't get me started on EU.

I'm going to make a early prediction and say lag will be on the US and EU versions.

---

And with that, i will also predict no E-amuse even though they will advertise the crap out of saying that we "WILL" have e-amuse, when evidently we won't

---

I love how being hopeful all of a sudden turned to "KONAMI WON'T DO THIS/THAT".

Maybe they've learned from their mistakes, maybe they haven't. We won't know until it's actually released.

That may be true, but RIGHT after SuperNOVA, everything just went downhill for the US/EU arcade versions. Granted SuperNOVA 2 is probably still the most favorite new arcade mix that's out in the US, they REALLY need to learn from Japan BIG TIME.

---

Suddenly, what's come to my mind is what the CD covers of songs from SN-X will look like.

I also wonder what other songs will be included in case some new ones were revealed after Dr.D left.

I guess that we'll likely have a good idea when the PS3/360 versions come out. It does seem like it's going in that direction to me.

---

Off-topic but sort of related:

I am all up for them having to keep back the PS3/360 versions IF and only IF they change it X2 style, then forget DDR X AC (here in the states) and just play at home :3

...but you can still go to the arcades and play, but more than likely you would only be playing SN2 or X...meh, it's your call.

---

The new model of X machines that come out for the US are probably going to be the ones that X2 US will come in, so let's hope for the best I suppose.

Ditto >_>.

I was a little shocked and lol'd at the same time when i heard that they halted production of the DDR X cabs in the US. Let's hope it's for the better :3

They had there 3 strikes, e-amuse is NEVER coming outside JP. why don't they use the USBs to keep personal data?
