DanceDanceRevolution X (AC) (International)

Theres quite a bit of 1's already. Yeah, they're all pretty much in the 50-100 range.

Interesting to see that bag is a 1. I would think that songs actually painfully slow and hard to time.

Seems like they're still rating most Beginner charts based on BPM; the ones are all in a range, the 2's in a broad range, etc.

---

The Beginner difficulties will likely stay the same. It's the higher difficulties being stretched out.

---

The old system was, IIRC, as follows...

1 = any song under 180bpm
2 = any song between 180 and 250bpm
3 = any song between 250 and 400bpm*
4 = any song over 400bpm**

*Dance Dance Revolution in EXTREME is a 3, Arrabbiata is a 3
**CHAOS is a 4

Arrabbiata is a 3, which would make that 225, not 250.

I forgot about that one. Thanks.

I think that 19 and 20's aren't going to have hard charts at all. In fact, they will have mid-range 10 charts but will have shock arrows applied liberally throughout the entire thing. The shock arrows will kill, not the chart.

Eventually, they'll have charts like PH WITH shock arrows but I think they are going to start off small.

Just imagine how songs like FAXX, PH, PR, and FELM would be like with mines. That in itself would constitute a 19-20 rating.

---

O_O I don't wanna imagine....

---

Here's hoping there are SOME 20s without mines... Just to see what this terrifying level means without gimmicks.

I imagine it would look a lot like Pandemonium.

...or Summer EXPERT

In terms of song length Honestly, that's the only way I see that they could make harder songs - by increasing the length of the songs.

---

The 20 footer (IF there's a 20 footer) I thank is going to be gimmick after gimmick.

---

I picture that the 20 footer could be some song thats like FELMO or FAXX for most of the song, then have something like PRO's death stream at the end.

...all with shock arrows.


I don't think they would just put shock arrows in a 17 foot chart and call that a 20 footer. They probably know that many US DDR players are used to the idea of mines by now.

The way shock arrows are laid out doesn't exactly look very challenging... Ooh don't hit an arrow :O

I am really hoping they're laid out differently in other songs. Otherwise they just wasted something that could've been a good idea. I'm personally betting that they will though.

One example: Dragon Blade is 1:58 in GFdm, those last 25 seconds could've been used to make the song a bit harder, maybe pushing the rating to a 9 (old)/11 (new)

I would like to see future DDR songs hit (or pass) the 2:00 mark. At the moment, very few songs reach that mark or get close to it. If any crossovers from the other bemani games are used, I'd like them to be left intact.

The speed of max. (period), the stops from CHAOS, the wtf steps from DEAD END "groove radar", Shock Arrows, three Freeze Arrows at once, the Bloopers from Mario Mix, that part in Uh La La La, then at the end the stage delivers a 60 volt shock and a midget comes out of the machine and kicks you in the shins.

I'd LOVE to see that happen... To somebody other than me! XD Somebody, anybody, I'd pay 20 bucks to see that.

there are 10s in DDR harder than summer expert, a 20 wont look like that.
