Valkyrie Dimension - "A 480 BPM 8TH STREAM AND A JUMP IN THE ENDING STREAM. HERE'S YOUR FUCKING 19 I QUIT"

ABSOLUTE - "What is the second last note in the song? Oh, I'm too lazy to figure it out, so I'll just put it as an 8th. I know it's completely off, but as long as I'm not playing it myself, it's okay. Submit."

Cosy Catastrophe is 180.

---

95% of club version: "I've never played this game before"

Afronova (X Special): What should I do, boss?

Stepchart reviewer: Try to keep it as similar to the original as you can. Also throw in some freeze arrows so nobody gets suspicious.

Over The "Period": I want to make this song feel like a shmup.

Lachryma《Re:Queen’M》D- - I wanted to make it clear that this one chart from a fan project called DanceDanceRevolution XX is totally not a 19.

Prey - A good handful of people wanted to see a difficulty added to this, but we didn't want to make it a 19, so we just put jumps everywhere instead. Heh, we still delivered that "be careful what you wish for" message so that's good enough for us.

CURUS: People like the L O N G green note right?

Prey - Young Mitsuharu Morimoto was 21, a bright peppy lad with a spring in his step, and an avid fan of DDR since he was a young kid. Thoughout his gruelling school life, mocked by his peers for choosing dedication to appreciating the fine nuances of creating a DDR chart over sporting prowess or charisma with the fairer sex, he took his countless beatings and swirlies with pride, with his head held high in the belief that "whatever you do, whatever you say, you can't stop me from living my dreams". This guy was gonna go far, and it led him to this point. At the table with the bigwigs in suits he confidently slid a clear plastic file with a paper sheet inside, adorned with arrows and annotations. A marked crossover here, a footswitch there, every single one of those 900 arrows had a reason to be there, and every arrow was placed to precision. No more, no less.

Imagine the weight in his stomach, then, when the men in suits replied "this is great and all, but the job has been taken, by this man". To Morimoto's shock and disgust, out walks the same boy who spent the last five years flushing his head down the toilet. Dressing in nothing but a varsity jacket and a smile that shows he doesn't have the mental capacity to know where he even is, he walks to the desk. He screams "MAN STEP GOOD!" The men in suits laugh in pity, reach their hands into their suit jacket pockets, and retrieve from them a handful of birdseed, as much as can be humanly gathered with one single fist. The human meat puppet gorges from the palms of the intelligentsia, making near-orgasmic grunts as he eats the first thing that resembles close to a meal in at least three months as Morimoto watches in abject horror. The sound is broken by one of these suits almost mockingly responding, "I'm afraid the vacancy has been filled."

Yeah, Prey Oni's shit.

ORDINARY WORLD - "Sure, I bet players would love to spin around while hitting the arrows."

Ska a Go Go
Tester: Wouldn't these charts be hard to pass with the engine running 30fps?
Lead: ......ship it and submit a ticket

Prey (yes, another one):

"So, I was looking at all of the other games that Prey has been in, and I noticed something weird."

"Hm?"

"DDR's hardest chart is actually the best highest difficulty chart across every game. DDR has the best chart!"

"Wait, really? DDR is the only game in which Prey's hardest difficulty isn't a complete garbage fire? We gotta fix that now!"

If you aren't aware, Prey CSP (or the equivalent difficulty name thereof in other games) is a complete garbage fire in every single game it's in. Prey CSP is not actually an anomaly. If it's Prey and it's the hardest difficulty the game has, the chart is going to be garbage. DDR was actually just correcting for this.

Bi - Can they hit that down arrow 115 times without cracking it. Well we're gonna find out today.

Night of knights (Ryu☆Remix) - When they came to me and asked me to write a chart for this song all I could think was I'm So Happy.

CHAOS Terror-Tech Mix - The existing charts didn't live up to the name of CHAOS because they didn't have enough stops. There was definitely no terrifying tech in them, either. Well, we're going to change that REAL QUICK and make sure anyone who memorized all those stops will have to redo that whole process!
