It has been mentioned before, but I believe that it is possible.

Synth said the chat last night was helping pave way to MP, since it was flash chat.

yes... as long as its done without lag... it will be great..

It would be great but like I said, the easiest way would be to have it where both people play a song, not necessarily at the same time, and when both people finish the song, the scores are compared. However, I wouldn't complain about being able to play at the same time and be able to see what the opponent's score is - as long as it has a Dance Magic-type mode!

i would like it show it like a two player screen and be able to see the their arrows just like you see yours... and see when they miss and all that

This would be impossibly hard beyond all reason but if we did that we could maybe have like,monthly tournaments

monthly?? weekly.. or just whenever we wanted.... like yahoo pool.. just have people monitoring the vs games and when enough people want a tournament give it to them..

I'm no flash expert, but it should be possible. The only problem would be that there would have to be a whole new engine, because as I see it now most of the processing is client side. The server just gives you the song and recieves the data at the end. To have a multiplay that I would feel to be worthwhile (think DDR where the other persons steps are on the other side and you can see misses) every beat would need to be sent and recieved by either a server or a client acting as a server. It could be simplified to just send misses, but then you couldn't see goods and such.

It wouldn't be hard to do (just think of all the data that's moving around in a FPS or MMORPG) but it would require almost a completely new data processing procedure to support it. A lot of work, to say the least.
