Interesting Little Things in DDR

@Seishinbyou and Tyma-- I've always wanted to compile a list of songs that were re-rated at some point. If I'm not mistaken, So Deep was a 10 in the location test of DDR MAX2, and there were many rating changes between the XBOX and PS2/AC series', but I don't know if those count.

EX: Sky High was a 7 and then changed to a 6 for DDR Universe (for no good reason, might I add, for that's probably the hardest 6 up to that point). I also wonder how many songs Konami now realizes they misrated, for example Akiba Drift or Get up, Give up, Move on.

Wasn't that So Deep? (Before it was changed to a 9 for the final version)

Though Twilight Zone and So Deep share the exact same rhythmic patterns at times

^ I believe it was So Deep. I don't remember Twilight Zone being a 10-footer at some point.

The same thing happened to Mugen before.
Check out at 0:25

That just leads me to wonder what Mugen would look like as a 10, but it seems too soft for that to ever happen, at least with Twilight Zone I could see it being possible.

It had the same chart as it does now. The Location Test of SuperNOVA is the most undocumented of all the recent games, because it was first unveiled in public at a trade show in London. There were plenty of people and cameras on-hand to document any changes, but because the only people on-hand to document it were fans of the game who had specifically snuck into the show to play a free DDR machine, they all gravitated towards playing the same group of 5 or 6 crossover songs, and left 99% of the game ignored. We only know Mugen was the same chart because it was a "new 10-footer", and so it got played as someone's 3rd song at the end of the day.

We have no clue which of the other charts were changed, or which songs were mis-rated. I don't think we found out about Mind Parasite until years after the game was released, and a Japanese player who wanted to AAA everything on his E-Amuse account pointed out the discrepancy?


Yes you do!

D'oh! Disney's Rave went out of my head. Must be the standards that I'm used to...

---

Do you feel aaaaaalright? :{

Yes, but just to let you know that I read in a FAQ before that Disney's Rave's 10-footers aren't similar to those of Max/Max2/Extreme standards. Which explains why I only mentioned So Deep and Mugen.

---

Just throwing this out there, but Twilight Zone in Disney's Rave isn't the same version in Max 2, so you can't really say that Twilight Zone was a 10 at one point then changed, but that there is a version of Twilight Zone that is a 10 on Standard.

---

Was Uranus from DDR SuperNOVA2 supposed to be rated 10 or was that by mistake?

Yes, it's rated a 10 in DDR SN2 but you could consider it as a mistake. In DDR X, it's rated a 13, so it's pretty much a difficult 9, old scale wise.

---

Yeah, Disney Twilight Zone and Remo-Con Twilight Zone are completely different songs. The Disney Rave version is much easier, but the steps are really interesting. All the Disney Rave doubles have jump combinations that they really never use anymore.

What about Bag and Sakura? They're both intended to be 10s and then changed into 13s.

at least sakura was rerated to a 9 before X scale

---

edit: Hurr durr don't mind me. :x

---

---

Was thinking of Double, which I guess is still just as bad, it still was re-rated to be a 13 and I wound up passing it before many other old 9's.

---

Sakura's single charts were fixed in rating in Supernova 2 but I really can't say the same for doubles. While doubles heavy has been re-rated into a 9, doubles challenge ended up being a 10. (WTF?)

Is it true you can't unlock the "Cleared all songs" achievement in Dancing Stage Universe? I just saw that in a comment in YouTube.

---

I think there was some sort of glitch involving it. You CAN unlock the achievement, but it's basically a matter of luck. Same applies to DDR Universe.
