just curious, but how are songs and stepcharts allowed to be legally downloaded here?

Why does it matter? Lol Stepmania has been a thing for decades, nobody asks these things, it's not necessary.
Nah, he raised an important question that almost nobody asked. And that's good one considering how problematic it could ended.

From my understanding, components in simfiles (music, graphic, etc.) falls into the category of "fair use". It means that you could use it for your simfile without the permission of the original copyright holder as long it's not being commercialized. And from the POV of the content, simfiles actually felt more like a transformed music because there's stepchart and graphics used, giving the music a new meaning of use.

Despite that, the copyright holder of the music/video used in a simfile could ask the simfile creator to take down their simfiles and they should comply when asked. I think some people had their simfile taken down from this kind of stuff.

Hope this helps.

Very valid point! Thanks for clarifying this.

No major one like the Music Game Hell one, but there were minor pranks, such as LET THEM MOVE being revived for DDR A20 (done by yourself in the A20 PS4 April Fools thread btw)

The problem with absolutely knocking it out of the park with the game in 2014 is that you can’t really top it again.

"hey knucklehead"
For the first time ever, my body is accumulating excess fat. I never thought I'd see myself with love handles but they're showing up and they're really unsightly! I'm glad to live in a world that my addiction to rhythm games is the way out of being a fat fuck.

Thank you Random, very cool

But in all seriousness, if KONAMI decides to make a battle royale rhythm game, how would it work in terms of overall gameplay?

"five minute white boy challenge"
I can imagine it working in a simple way of playing a set amount of songs/charts that get progressively harder and at the end of each one, the bottom __% amount of players get eliminated.

If you're reading this, Konami, I accept payment via cheque.

This makes it less like a "battle royale" and more like a deathrace in which the weakest die off first. Maybe we could combine that concept with the Guitar Duels that Guitar Hero had and then there would be an aggressive edge to the game.

Maybe we shouldn't put too much thought into this really outlandish idea.

Eh, I don't know. It's not the most common way to do a battle royale (individual eliminations) but Fall Guys does that. I remember the Guitar Battles in GH3 being completely broken compared to the much better Pro Face-Off mode, though. Basically on any song with real challenge it all came down to who got the Whammy power-up first.

I don't see what is the purpose of posts such as this. I don't think it's hard to see why he'd think DDR2013, 2014, A, and A20 are all inferior anyways...

Even as someone with a bit of nostalgia-goggles, how can you NOT think A and A20 are two of the best mixes in the whole series?
