    What is the absolute limit?

    Yeah, since Konami completely ignored the hardcore DDR crowd it's been pretty cool to watch how good some of the PIU players have gotten. I mean, starting to watch shit like Dignity...wow.

    So what do you think is the fastest/hardest song possible on a pad? I once saw a pic of someone claiming a pass on BMR's A but I think that was total bullshit.

    I'd place the absolute limit on feet at about Cynic's LAB.

    RE: What is the absolute limit?

    lab is 180bpm, and no constant streams, but has jumps in the beginning and end... A is 191 constant stream at the end... so, A is definately harder... and, i believe a pass of A is possible. dignity is 190bpm, and its 5 notes instead of 4 on PIU, although the streams at 190 aren't that long. A is definately passable... how much past that is questionable.

        BMR A? the fuck?
        anyway Im sure anyway1 coud eventually learn to do a song at over 400
        just have to practice
        a long time ago i used to think max300 was impossible cuz it was too fast
        now it almost seems slow compaired to legend or outer limits
        So yea

          BMR's A, when compared to max300 is like this...

          A = 191
          Max300 = 150

          now, just so you don't go like "wtf... its 300bpm... its faster!" i will explain...

          max300 is all 8th notes. which means, you are playing it at the equivalent of 600bpm 4th notes (300 x 8/4 = 600)
          A is 191bpm 16th notes for most of the song (there are more arrows at this speed than there are total arrows in max300). so, it is the equivalent of 764bpm 4th notes (191 x 16/4 = 764). both LoM and Outer Limits are slower than A as well, by over 10bpm 16th notes.

          absolute limit? somewhere around 200bpm 16ths, like OML... that is my guess.

            Pandemonium Expert on ITG is pushing it. Step jump patterns and runs for ~2 minutes at a speed faster than A. Cynic passed it first try.

              pandemonium is 200bpm... is ITG 4-notes? if so, then i've played it on SM... its difficult for fingers. if it isn't 4-note... then i played some SM version of it, and its still difficult for fingers.

                It's 4 arrows, like DDR.

                  I know 11's are possible, I got a 15 combo in first uber rave stream (reach's version) before... and I'm nowhere near the level of the people who AAA the 10's (I B or C them)
                  Ridiculous Timing!!!!

                    Uber Rave is only 175 bpm... the problem with UR is that its VERY long... the endurance would be a really issue...

                    but, we're talking about speed. 175 is certainly doable.

                      WTF? Pandemonium isn't 200bpm, its around 330. And I'd say the limit is probably around 240bpm 16ths.

                          they are all 10s, as per DDRs scoring.

                          Spazz.. my bad on the pandemonium... so its 165 16ths, but there are jumps and stuff in there... its not a cake AAA on keyboard

                          and, if Dignity can be done (195) on PIU, albiet it the streams aren't very long, i definately feel OML can be beaten... much past that is really really pushing it, IMO.

                          240 16ths? no way. thats max480... or, max300 on 1.6x music... on pad.
