DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX (AC) (Japan)

I'm almost expecting the chart for PARANOiA Revolution to flat out suck and everyone will say how great the chart is compared to it.

You know what, I'll just come out and say it. The new Trip Machine and Paranoia songs and charts are good, and the bulk of you calling them bad are impossible to please in the first place. I know I don't post much anymore, but X3 is pretty godlike IMO. I wasn't sure they were going to top X2, I thought how good that was might have been a fluke, but X3 shows me they still know how to make a good game.

^^ All of my this. ^^

Well said noob.

this this this this this

Why be in a rush to make a 20 footer? Konami should drag out 19s a bit longer and train the pros while development perfects a surprisingly glorious 20 in the background. :P Well, we can hope. I loved seeing Valkyrie, but it only proved that they need to get better at fun 17-19s before they make it any harder.

Also, going to finally say that Paranoia Revolution is the most epic sounding Paranoia ever. <3

Here's the problem with having a 20 now. What if somehow someway a chart comes along that's harder then said 20 footer? 20 is the max limit and then we end up getting 20s that should be 18s and 20s that are hard. Long story short we get the SN2 problem that started the new rating system in the first place. I myself want to see a few more 19s before we see a 20, but would like the see them come natural and not having 19s just for the sake of having 19s.

Quoted for truth.

Gradually, if Konami pulls out a 20 footer now it's mainly for the keep sake of keeping the game as ALIVE for an almost year-long period since it's release in a sense, but that can't be the case seeing that after this IE ranking is over, X3 is done, completed, and everything will be unlocked.

I agree with Pandy and n00b, X3 hasn't been the complete and utter failure some of the members here claim it to be, we've just been too spoiled with X2 and DDR II to realize that without those two games making a staple within the 2010 era of DDR, X3 would literally be like a GOD SEND for everyone, and we would go on 5 pages talking about one or two unlocked songs alone.

In terms of what Pandy said, Yeah let's hope that a 20 isn't being pulled out of it's ass even if it's a last ditch effort to keep the players intertwined with X3 for a little longer.

The challenge chart for PARANOiA Revolution will be a mash up of all the previous shock arrow charts, including Horatio CS.

Also, who says the foot ratings have to stop at 20? There could someday be a 21 or 22 footer...

....or FLASHING 20's :v

---

Who says we even need more than 20? That SHOULD be the highest it goes, any more than that, and it's just an obscene torture of the limitations of the human body. Might as well just buy a keyboard or play IIDX if it has to get that hard.

---

The flash was arbitrary, you do know that, right? In various games, Sakura, Paranoia Respect, LOM, PSM, and Max300 SMMM have flashed and in others they haven't. Sakura didn't flash in Extreme or Extreme 2, but flashed in Festival. LOM hasn't flashed since Extreme. PSM flashes on Heavy and Oni in Extreme and Extreme 2, but nothing else. See what I'm saying? The flash meant nothing.

---

also, apparently some people don't realize the concept that is called difficulty gap.

---

Notice that the flashes were in the games where those songs were the boss songs. For example, LOM flashed in Extreme because it was the boss song there; in SuperNOVA on, it was not a boss and therefore never flashed. However, I don't think we will get a 20, flashing or not, in this mix. I'm sure Tohoku, PARANOiA Revolution, and TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION will have Challenge charts, but not a 20.

The moral of the story is, since the difficulty scale has been increased to 20, it is definitely possible for a 20 footer to appear whether we like it or not. When will it happen? Who knows. But remember folks...it's Konami's game and they can give us a 20 footer whenever they feel like it.

Would this qualify as a 20? *implies sarcasm*



Of course not. Even KONAMI wouldn't stoop THIS low to make a 20.
The real action starts at 0:37. *implies more sarcasm*.

But what would the ideal 20 footer look like?

It wouldn't.

Obviously, my point is it's up to Konami to decide what they want to do and what they are going to do. Whether we like it or not.
