DDR X Ratings Featuring Decimal Points!

13.8
This edit reminds me of a harder version of stoic (EXTREME version) S- in that it starts off relatively simple and then gets extremely challenging. Those 16ths (especially that candle step) and the step jumps at 190 BPM makes this noticeably more challenging than your average 13 footer.

12.8
This chart reminds me of a number of ITG2 9 footers on S-, such as This is Rock and Roll. It's relatively easier than most of those to push through for the most part because of its short length, however.


Okay, that reminds me...
MAXIMIZER S- [DDR Universe]

---

15.9 or 16.0. Those stops are mean, and streaming at 190 BPM isn't exactly easy.

宇宙への片道切符 S-

I personally felt Maximizer would be harder than that just because of about 10 seconds in the song in a row with the candles and 8th jumps (starting at 1:13), but if just to pass, I guess borderline 16 is reasonable. These 10 seconds would cut your gauge out pretty quick if you're new to 16s.

I'd say 宇宙(ソラ)への片道切符 S- deserves about 12.7. Yes, there's a few 16th arrows in the middle of 8th crossover streams but at 175 BPM, but they're really not that threatening since they're not part of a crossover, and they don't come all that often. Given that it's such a short song with just 317 steps, it really should not be difficult to pass, either. If they added another 10 seconds to the song of 8th streams mixed with some 16ths, sure, it would then deserve a 13.


RISING FIRE HAWK S-

---

15.1

RUGGED ASH Heavy

---

Hmm... that's a tough one. I would say a 10.8 because of the low step density, but also because of the few difficult patterns and the somewhat high BPM.

FANTASY (Lockout) Singles and Doubles ?

---

Single 11.2
Double 11.4


BROKEN MY HEART S- and D-?

---

S- I would consider a 12.6 footer. The beginning is quite difficult, but after that, it plays like a hard 11 footer.
D- I would consider a 12.0, since it has a few difficult 8th streams, but none of the difficult parts from the S- chart. This should have been an 8 on the old scale.

TRIBAL DANCE D-?


(Sorry, this is the best video of the chart I could find.)

11.7
It was actually quite harder than what I was expecting to see.


RADICAL FAITH D-

13.5

18.6

All 5 of these, created by yours truly:

This is what you do not want to do if you want to keep this going.

BRAINSTORM Single
4.0
7.6
10.5
13.7
18.2 < Yes, actually...

I'm curious, how do you play those patterns on ? I'm actually having a hard time finding out how you wanted someone to step them.



Be My Friend D- [ITG3]

---

A few tricky patterns, probably a 13.1

Tell S- (ITG)

18.8

R5

---

13.7- There are some pretty scary patterns in there.

Uh La La La S-

---

12.3

IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE (Extended Remix)

---

18.2
For sure, I found it really hard to get used to and score on it, but not incredibly difficult to clear. Easier than Hardcore of the North if I may say that.

10.5 on Single
11.3 on Double


MAX.(period) S-?

---

16.5

KISS ME (KCP REMIX)

---

10.3 - Nothing really too challenging patterns-wise. If anything, it looks like a low 7 footer on the DDRMax scale.

Nageki No Ki S-

---

18.7 - it's a pretty brutal 18-footer (24ths! at 160), but in the end, I wouldn't say it's worse than some of the nastier 18's.

Fascination MAXX S-

Steps 53-111 are pretty challenging and rare even in level 11.

Yes there are 24ths, but if you ever played Hardcore of the North, you may find that they're usually not as tough as having to jump 16ths even at lower speeds...

17.7 - There are harder 17s on Expert like IX and Tohoku EVOLVED, just to name a couple, but having everything from spontaneous speed changes to green note syndrome, etc. along with numerous death runs, it is also far from the easiest.
