DanceDanceRevolution (AC) (Japan)

The game is going to have to gain the ability to display courses first...

The videos are sideways but, well, you get the idea.

Desert Journey looks awkward :/
It reminds me of Second Heaven

The Reason is pretty much what I expected. lolwut@1:25 though xD
lolawkward

Somehow You Found Me is a bit harder than I expected. It should definitely be a 15. Also very awkward in places.

Forget ITG. Konami is trying to turn this game into Pump. They're trying way too hard to make these songs difficult in the wrong ways. Meanwhile, there are songs that are severely understepped and need good difficult charts. (preferably charts that actually flow)

Baaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha....

THE REASON puts Unreal to shame.

Hahahahahaha, Desert Journey is worse than ... i can't believe it.
I think The Reason is great, really challenging, i love the chart.
Somehow you found me is fine, not great and not bad, looks fun to play.

I'm glad we're getting the highest quality obligatory challenge charts possible

I re upload the videos, now with good camera angle and clear audio (for The Reason and Somehow you found me)

Desert Journey [CSP]


The Reason [CSP]


Somehow you found me [CSP]

I love the challenge chart for THE REASON so damn much.

I'm going to watch The Reason over and over again

Why yes, I agree with the others, that appears to be an air-filled chart that I think I'd actually like to play!

The Reason Challenge looks absolutely terrible. Not for all the jumps, but for the awkward position of the jumps. It's just a slower Unreal.

Desert Journey would be much better without the shock arrows. It's not awful honestly, the double-stepping is clearly deliberate and the 16th sections flow, but just feels weird because it overreaches so much to be that difficult and it's pretty heavy-handed on the shocks.

The Reason is awesome, I love this chart. Very good upping of the ante from the Expert chart, this is the only one I think is justified and looks really interesting and unique. Flow is good, jump placement is definitely deliberate and makes you move more and more as the song goes on.

Somehow You Found Me isn't bad, but the song is definitely vastly overstepped. There's no way to really get a reasonable 16 out of this, but for what it's worth it flows and is challenging, even if it makes up a lot of stuff that isn't in the music.

---

The chart is fine, but to build off of what Daiz said, the position of the jumps is questionable and could have been placed a lot better.
Whatever, i'm killing the hype

i just played DDR2013, the machine was just upgraded. enjoy level climb is pretty slow lol

btw i like qipchaq and condor

also by watching the bass lights, i think most of the default songs will get challenge charts some time. ones that i noticed are heron, new gravity, monkey business (lol pretty much given) and south i think.

You're in Singapore right? So it's TKA who have the new DDR 2013?

I'm wondering if this game follows the tricoro route wherein the machine will not boot without e-amusement.

Yep. Most probably yes since when the machine was set up, in the Network Options or something like that it said something about "eAmuse Participation".

Also they disabled Joint Premium forever :c

a few things I noticed: SPEED mods now are written with 1 decimal place (1.0, 1.5, 2.0 etc)
BOOST (option name) is now called ARROW MOVE... for some reason.
machine felt sluggish scrolling thru the options/songs... probably konmai fault.
also Monkey Business charts follows KIMONO PRINCESS's requirement, i guess (probably this has been mentioned but w/e)

---

I see what they were going for with The Reason but I don't think those jumps look very fun.
Somehow you found me is my favorite of the charts in those three new videos.

I actually think Desert Journey is not too bad even with shock arrows.

The Reason is totally 'Unreal' now as was pointed out and it is a tad disappointing.

I like Somehow you found me . It is overstepped though.

Really looking forward to playing The Reason. Whichever way you want to look at it, they took what would have been a throwaway song, and suddenly made it incredibly relevant.

I really liked THE REASON a lot, but the rest were sort of forgettable, in my opinion.
Regardless, though... Did they change the requirement for AAA? I remember seeing a video of someone scoring >980k and still getting a AA; are PFCs the only thing that net you AAA's in this release?
