Interesting Little Things in DDR

Is hell even considered profane? It never was in my house, and I wasn't allowed to say butt.

I'd say no, especially since there's a town that bears that name.

I'm pretty sure on Clarissa Explains it All they mentioned the "Evil demon bats from hell" or something like that. It was in the school play episode.

To make this somewhat relevant, I'd mention that I saw in DDR X US PS2 there are foot ratings that aren't in the arcade version. They were actually in the beta for X-Arcade. Good example: Why Not 10, Bloody Tears 9

Hell is usually only a problem in religious families. And since America is predominately religious, it's a problem all around.

Nintendo bothered to change a line from the Goldeneye movie in the game to omit the word hell... in a game where you kill people with guns and bombs. And that game was rated T.

There's a village in Europe called Fucking.

A village in Germany is called Hilter (not Hitler.)


Also, not sure if it has been said yet, but in the background from Drop The Bomb is a naked woman. You just need to look really close.

Austria.

And the German word for "light" is hell (as in, light colours, not the lightswitch light). Someone in Germany decided to release a light beer called Fucking Hell. Hilarity ensues.

Aaaanyway, moving on. I THINK I'm right here, but is Until The End the first DDR, and possibly Bemani song performed in Italian? (Or at least pidgin Italian, knowing Konami.)

---

Second in BEMANI at least, preceded by Ti voglio bene ancora in pop'n music 5.

-Jenny from DDR 4th mix doesn't appear in any of the Random Movies featured from DDRMAX to Extreme (she's featured in a few but she's too dark and too far away from the screen to even be noticed; the closest one would be the close-up on her face in www.Blonde Girl but that's a background, not a movie)

-In DDR X Battle mode, your opponent during final stage is always a PiX.

-In DDR Supernova 2 battle mode, you get a 100 combo cut-in when you're able to completely fill your battle bar.

-Across the Nightmare is the fastest constant BPM song (Not DROP OUT.)
-The song with the most BPM changes is SAKURA.
-Speed Over Beethoven is a 2, despite being only 169 BPM.
-888 reaches 888 BPM (?)

---

deltaMAX has more BPM changes.
888 does not reach 888 BPM, despite the name. Maxes out at 444.

---

How is this interesting? 169BPM is a fairly fast speed, particularly for beginners.

Almost all songs between Extreme and SN2 follow the following pattern:
BPM 0-179: 1
BPM 180-249: 2
BPM 250-399: 3
BPM 400-unlimited: 4
Some songs are exempt of that, F.E. "Dance Dance Revolution" or "CHAOS".


Whoops, forgot about DeltaMAX.

---

Across the nightmare's true BPM is 150bpm. And there's a tempo change in the 6/4 section so it isn't a constant bpm.

---

Doesn't matter, the song in DDR is played at 300 bpm with no changes.

Dance Dance Revolution was re-rated 1 on SuperNOVA AC.

Then he would have said scrolling speed, not bpm

---

Oh, in that case, I'll play it on x8 to see the true fastest scrolling speed.

For *fastest* scrolling speed in an official DDR game, there's always Tohoku Evolved 8x. 8160 BPM anyone? *trollface*

Actually, Quick Master has the most BPM changes (stops don't count as BPM changes because there's no tempo). The display BPM isn't always correct. QM varies between 130-158BPM. This is one of very few songs in DDR which doesn't have a consistant true BPM and NOT have it's BPM purposely altered (i.e. doubled or halved).

And 888's name is what it is because of two reasons:

A) Your actual foot-speed reaches 888bpm (222bpm 16ths, 444bpm 8ths)
B) 888 is just a modification of Satan's number 666. Which explains why the background has demons.
Plus the song's steps are downright evil anyway, lol.

Why 888 S- doesn't have 666 steps is beyond me. has 753, why not 666 for ?


The Flower in Your Smile is a 1 on , despite it being 186BPM.

And the old scale (i think) always went by the maximum BPM in the song (i.e. Flow (true style) is a 3 on while Flow is a 1).
