DanceDanceRevolution A (AC)

I like to call Right on Time's Challenge steps the jumping workout (this is assuming you play without bar). I'm still not quite sure as to what triggers a step (and the consequential shock) and what doesn't, so when I play this, it's like doing those jumping HIIT exercises where you have to tuck your knees up.

I know a pro strat is to jump on the center panel every time a shock arrow pops up so that you very clearly don't touch any of the arrows when the shock arrow is processed. You can do this with one foot, or you can do it with both, but it's probably easier to try it with both. I've never played a shock arrow chart on a metal pad, so I've never tried this myself, but it's what I've seen with the most success.

Or the corner panels if you're playing double. I should try this the next time I go play instead of jumping like a madman during the verse. Like 0:45-0:47 or 0:51 to 0:53 from this video:

Oh my god.

The DDR A machine at the Times Square D&B is amazing.

Meetup anyone?

The last time I played A, the only things the casuals played were the pop songs like Happy, Break Free, and all that stuff…

Early predictions:

Ishtar - 16
out of focus - 17
Neutrino - I mean, we all saw the 18 leak
Cosy Catastrohe ? - 19?

I'm by no means qualified to giver a proper translation of the text on that flyer, but I think it roughly says "advance the world to collapse and face a true enemy."

"Face a true enemy" = new super hard extra exclusive incoming? It'd make sense because that would push Neutrino out of the extra exclusive folder which would allow it to get its challenge chart.

Anyways, I'm excited for this since I feel like all three of these songs are complex enough to have challenge charts that don't feel overstepped (maybe Out of Focus a little less than the other two).

Gonna laugh when it's two challenge charts at most.

DADADADADADADADA Super oni All jacks. 20-

^HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA <--I'd like to see someone make a jacket replacing each Japanese character with "HA".

In all seriousness, I'm excited to see the new Challenge charts, especially for Neutrino and Cosy Catastrophe!

Looking at the schedule for Rinon's Adventure...
Wave 1 (New Century, RISING FIRE HAWK, Astrogazer): April 27th
Wave 2 (Come to Life, Emera, Start A New Day): June 1st, 5 weeks after Wave 1
Wave 3 (Ishtar, out of focus, Neutrino, Cosy Catastrophe?): ???

My guess is that we might see them in either mid-July or late July/early August.

Oddly enough, I have never seen anyone play Happy before as far as I can remember.

Don't really have much I can say about Rinon's adventure because I lack the stamina to clear a hard 15. But the suggestion of a new boss song is enticing...

I wonder how many steps it will take to unlock a song this time. Part 2 was 82, and there might be a chance that it will probably be over 100 this time. (Please no) Other than that, yay, new challenge charts.

1: Why would Cosy Catastrophe be an unlock when it still hasn't even reach Level 1 Extra Exclusive? If anything, that means we are getting another new Extra Exclusive to push Neutrino and Cosy Catastrophe down and still give a purpose to Extra Stage. Remember, they could put on the DDR A site both a new Extra Exclusive tease and the Rinon's Adventure 3 once maintenance is done.

2: The flyer being up means that it'll probably be coming as early as this week. The previous two were revealed on the same day of the week and available that week as well. They wouldn't show that flyer next to the machine just for it to appear much later.

It does seem kind of weird for Neutrino to get a when it's still only playable on Extra Stage. Maybe this means a new EXTRA EXCLUSIVE song?

That'd be my guess, at least.

I think it has to be either 10 Extra Exclusives tops, and they release Cosy along with the next 3, or they'd have to add two more EEs to make one more set of 3.

At this rate they'd take forever to do the second, so I'm kinda anticipating Cosy being the included in the current set, and then some new (18 ESP?) song appears after you unlock Cosy (if the "Face a true enemy" is anything to go by).

Official site got updated with some info about it here: https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/ddr/ddra/p/info/index.html#info46

Apart from it mentioning it's the last Rinon's ADVENTURE, there's nothing else new.

These charts are all well and good, but new content would be nice. KONAMI haven't released a new song for the game for almost 2 months now, so it would be nice to see some new songs...

Since it says that it'll be the last part of Rinon's Adventure, I think that just proved to us that Cosy Catastrophe will get its as well.
