Well it has happened to me plenty of times and probably it has happened to you when you got a higher rank than your opponent but then that person had a higher score and you thought you won and I want to clear it up. What counts more if you face someone, if you get a higher rank or higher score?

RE: What
SCORE SCORE SCORE SCORE SCORE SCORE SCORE SCORE!!!
In tournaments its all about score. Unless its a freestyleing competition. -
Well, I'll bet you 90% of the people here are going to say "Score isn't good because it puts to much value on later steps", prefering dane points (and, to that extent, rank).
Personally, I prefer rank because it's easier to remember than an 8-digt number. I wish they added pluses and minuses to the rank (ie AA-, B+, etc).Comment

yes but he's talking about when he's going up against someone at the arcade.
For example, You AA a song but the person you are up against has an A with a higher score, they would be the winner.Comment

Oh...Originally posted by babybenji2004
well personally I would go with neither (I ususally don't like comparing), but if you wanted to compete, then I'd agree with score. Otherwise, I'd hypothetically go with number of perfects. They're all good choices
As a side note, in DDR Extreme USA, if one player gets a lower grade, it is shown without a spotlight. Any other games in the series do that?Comment

In response to GregHead, I don't believe so. I think EX USA is the only game that does that.
Not necessarily. Around here, tournaments are decided solely by PA. OK's are worth 3 points, Perfects are worth 2 points, and Greats are worth 1 (I think that's how it works). This is because actual scores are weighted. Arrows at the beginning of the song are worth less than arrows at the end. In effect, it depends where you're playing.Originally posted by babybenji2004

It goes by how many perfects you have. Score isn't tell-tale because the steps toward the end of the song are weighted more in most of the mixes.

That's how I lost at the VB Tourney last year. Me and this guy were in the championship and we both played HVAM for the final on Heavy this was the score.
Opponent
Perfects: 328
Me:
Perfects 303
I still lost because he had more perfects not because my score was higher though. I FC'd the song, but he didn't. I still lost.

There was a tournament at my arcade like that a few years back. I found it in some old message boards. Damn tech tourneys.Originally posted by Neonatrias

By far my least favorite mix.

I haven't played it, but judging from the songlists, it seems like they might as well as called it "DDR USA". Really, it has all the american exclusives. And the Ultramix ones don't have beginner steps (just like in Ultramix). From what I've seen, the GUI looks the same as Extreme US (which isn't neccessarily bad). But generally, it's basically the US games put on a Japanese disc. Hey Konami, how about doing the reverse while you're at it?Originally posted by B3NJ1Comment

Well DDR EX USA is based off the format of Festival so that's why they're similar. In older versions in versus (like 2nd), the word winner was displayed with the winning grade.

I prefer to go with the grade. I mean, it's not too uncommon to see, say, a Standard player and a Heavy player going at it at the same time. Naturally, since the Heavy player has a higher maximum score, of course he's going to get more points (as you know, max score is 10 million times the foot rating). When the grades are the same and the people are dancing on the same difficulty, number of perfects is what counts. I have no idea why combo length isn't weighted, though...Originally posted by thesunfan

Combo was weighted in the old days. They learned that was stupid. Now it is not.Comment
