DDR 18's ranking

I saw this done a while back and I was wondering if we could do it again with the new list of 18's.

Rank all the 18 footers on DDR from easiest to hardest.

I'll go first!

oh hey I'll just take this list for my own use kthxbai

---

@chunk_y On what basis are these ranked?

---

@chunk_y, are these lists based on our own preferences by how we play the game?

---

In theory, everyone's individual rankings on different songs should be different to an extent because some people struggle with different areas, such as crossovers/technique, MA, or stamina. Additionally, passing difficulty ≠ scoring difficulty, so by ranking based off of individual experience with passing various 18s, you can expect to see a much different list from the DDRCommunity's list based off of timing difficulty.

---

DEGRS is apparently 18.9 on that thread, yet it's the first 18 I ever passed. o3o

---

That makes a lot more sense as to my own preferences. I might post my list soon. Thanks!

---

From the looks of it, I think we each come up with our own ranking for 18s. The first list provided doesn't look like it's supposed to be definitive, but just an example. (Not that I'd know how to rank 'em, I can hardly pass a 16 yet...)

DEGRS >>> Endymion > Neutrino would be the three hardest charts to PFC. For FC/passing Endymion would be by far the hardest one, while DEGRS is probably somewhere in the bottom third.
Easiest charts to time are probably those SDPd by iamchris4life (FELMO, Go For The Top, FAXX, Anti-Matter, Elemental Creation, Come To Life). For FC/passing NGO is by far the easiest one, in fact easier than most 17s, followed by Come To Life, FAXX, HDV, Trigger and Valkyrie Dimension (around the same difficulty as the hardest 17s). Pluto The First may or may not be among them, depending how difficult one finds dodging the shock arrows, as well as certain crossover charts, depending how comfortable one finds bracketing them.
A precise ranking is impossible for reasons already mentioned.

DEGRS, HDV, and FAXX are definitely the easiest to pass imo. Maybe NGO as well (as long as the bulk of jumps/crossovers don't trip the player up so much).

Paranoia Revolution was the first 18 I passed though I definitely would not consider it the easiest. I still haven't passed terribly many of them but I'd probably say Astrogazer is probably the easiest one I have done because it's pretty easy to follow, though it's still pretty damn draining. Mei is probably the hardest 18 I've passed so far but I didn't find it that much harder than PRevo. Valkyrie Dimension was around the same difficulty for me

---

I guess I'll actually contribute to this thread.
Right now, I've only passed 2 18s, HDV and Valkyrie Dimension , but I've played and almost passed Astrogazer . So based on my understanding of most of the 18s, my list looks something like this:

HDV
Come to Life
FAXX
NGO
Valkyrie Dimension
PARANOiA Revolution
Astrogazer
Pluto the First
Everything else, I won't worry about it until I can pass the easier ones.

Even though this is a thread for 18s, I'd like to include the 17s too, since a lot more people will have experience with those.

I guess I'll take a shot at this. I'm looking at passing difficulty and this is a rough list. It's been awhile since I've played several of these but this is what I've come up with from memory and playing some of them recently. I included all the 18s on DDR A except for ENDYMION as I haven't been able to get a good attempt on it being extra stage only (all the others I have passed).

I could probably be convinced to move many of these songs up or down a few spots especially in the middle of this list which was particularly close for me.

That list is based of timing and scoring difficulty.

My list is based on my own skill level, the top is the easier to pass and the bottom is harder to pass for me.

Max. (Period)

I have never been fond of Pluto the First, I passed it once and vowed never to play the challenge chart again. Anti-Matter is extremely tough for me, but score holds it back from being number one.

I think you're allowed to pass by PTF on the songwheel and say you "passed" it, i'll count that. There's no sensible reason to subject yourself to that level of shock arrow torment.
