DDR vs. beatmaniaIIDX

[gs6]

I personally say IIDX. Unlike DDR, which just requires stamina and arrow-reading skills, IIDX requires skill, and has much better songlists than DDR. There's no overplayed crap like Nori Nori Nori, Bu Dam, or Stomp To My Beat.

Too bad there aren't enough IIDX machines around here, and if there is one, its DVD drive will be broken and the screen will be rather dark. >_<

DDR requires just as much skill as IIDX you ****ing asshat. You probably suck **** at DDR and have not tried to PA on it ever so you're ignorant about it. Don't start some retarded gamefaqs "OMG THIS REQUIRES MUUUUUUUUUCH MORE SKILL THAN THAT DURHURHURHRUHR"

I would go to the lengths to actually say DDR is equal on difficulty on IIDX.

And DDR has just as many good songs as IIDX.

That has to be one of the funniest things I have read in these forums. ****ing Asshat. Classic.

Sincerely,
SotN

Heh, I thought I was the only person who said asshat here...guess not.

IIDX is the winner in my books. It has nothing to do with skill. I just like it better because I like the song selection better and I get to play it in the comfort of my own home on my sound system and big-screen and there is no arcade drama over IIDX where I live (cause the nearest machine is about 2-3 states over >_<)

Why didn't Arch0wl vote for DDR then?

I voted IIDX simply because it is beatmania (I havent exactly played IIDX yet)

[Arch0wl]

I didnt vote for ddr because if you had READ my post I said that they were equal on skill level for me.

[gs6]

Note to self: Work on my flaming skills.

LOOK DDR is GREat and i love it to deah i am still on a lower level easy songs on Heavy . But you need skill in all of he games so Shut it you faghats who think IIDX is better.

[neo_sporin]

ok ok ok ok, you all call us fags for liking IIDX better? well ive played both extensivly, and i greatly like IIDX more, yes, you need skill in both, but im sorry, the hardest level in IIDX is muuuuuuch more dificult to even begin to attempt compared to ddr. in my opinion, it does in fact take more skill to be good at IIDX then it does at ddr, even tho ddr is easier to freestyle and have fun with

[jewpinthethird]

Okay, it's like arguing over which is better: Dancing or Preforming music.

[mr_hat]

DDR gives u exercise and IIDX gives you skill, but since im better at DDR ill have to go with that

[Jon_Shupe]

this is kind of a stupid question but why is reading arrows and doing it with your hands take more skill then reading arrows and doing them with your feet

iidx owns

Over here in Japan, in the arcades, DDR machines have no line and no one wants to play it except the occasional couple. For IIDX, I have to wait a long line. Same with DM and GF. Perhaps this is because its been a couple months since the last posts on this thread...

[nestlekwik]

Nah, I've heard similar accounts from others in Japan. In the tight Bemani communities over near Michigan in the U.S., it's about equal right now. Those who have been playing Bemani for a long time flock to the Guitardora, IIDX and Pop'N while those who are just getting into it spend more time on the DDR and BM (5-key) machines. We have a GF 9th around here and I'm really starting to get into that and if things go okay, there will be a Pop'N in my hometown sometime soon.

I just very recently purchased a Konami IIDX controller along with 5th and 6th style... I can definetly say after playing DDR ever since it first stepped on to the PSX that IIDX has a much *MUCH* steeper learning curve, definetly much more difficult, and requires plenty of eye-HAND coordination skills, as well as finger muscles (My hand literally did hurt and felt sore after many sessions the first time through). I can just barely do any level 6s, some 5s, most 4s, all 3 and below... cant even comprehend level 7 or flashing 7s yet. It's very addicting, and I absolutely love the songs in the series. Techno/trance is definetly a big ++++ in my book.

As for whether which is better... I love both equally.

Konami <3 Bemania <3 DDR <3 Beatmania <3 Pop'n <3 Guitar Freaks <3 Drum Freaks <3 Parapara <3 that-one-game-with-the-sensors-kind-of-like-parapara <3
I love them all, they all have a unique style and flavor, but I definetly gotta give hardest-difficulty award to Beatmania IIDX.

Google it.

It's hard to not revive dead topics when pretty much every topic is dead ;) Except for maybe the top 5 or so.

[DeadstarOrgy]

DDR is an excellent work out. Not only does it require stamina.. it requires skill as well. IIDX takes skill too, but what you rather have.. toned legs, or toned arms? ..yeah.. i think DDR owns all. and yes.. all you IIDX fans probably suck ass at DDR because it "was too hard for me to get my ass up and move around"

MWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! DDR OWNS YOU!

[fusi0n]

Toned legs or toned arms? What the ****? People don't play bemani games to get fit, they play to have fun, idiot.

[wahaw]

in my opinion IIDX pwns fricken ddr, who da **** likes to get ass tired playin a video game neways?? or a broken leg for instance??

[qwertyddr]

im wit nima

IIDX pwnes even tho i pwn at ddr

[wildman]

Personally, my favorite has to be DDR.....maybe thats because I've been playing DDR for 3 years and 11 months more than IIDX...hmmmmm. But yeah, I do have to say that IIDX totally outdoes DDR in difficulty....some of those songs on expert I can't even read....I'm just like WTF!!! :twisted:
