mods are what makes the stuff fun. Then again, personally i love songs that have unexpected stops, speed ups or mods ( ex: hvam, postx, driven)
Dizzy, bumpy, waves, reverse,tornado, etc, thats what takes the game to a whole 'nother level. After all, arrows constantly heading up with no difference gets kinda dull after awhile. But oh, well. to each their own right?

btw, whats a cmod?

I suppose we have very different outlooks on this game then. To me, the more homogenized it is, the more fun it is--I believe I will AAA EOML on pad before I'm able to pass a Bag 1x on standard, because I'm never going to practice slow-reading. Songs such as Dead End and So Deep are by far the most fun for me BEACUSE they contain absolutely nothing tricky whatsoever and are just a bunch of stream or gallops at a constant rate.

CMods eliminate stops and BPM changes completely and causes the arrows to move at a constant rate for the entire song no matter what--for example, C400 will cause everything to rise at a rate of 400 BPM, even if it's actually 200 BPM or 150 BPM or even 65 BPM. All songs on FFR are done on C300, if you want to know what a CMod is like.

By the way, I'm pretty bad at crossovers in general, but I hope to improve at that because I do consider it a worthwhile part of the game, unlike reading tricks or playing no-bar.

::note to self:: never ever, ever use any cmods.

as for crossovers, psh. i never learned them ether. It would be funny as hell because songs full of crossovers like rythem and police, cant stop falling in love speed mix and paranioa survivor i can pass without the bar and not do a single crossover. All the other ddr players around me would be surpised as hell, lol

AA'd So Deep. How it gets compared to in difficulty HVAM (B if I'm lucky) is beyond me ><

Next AA goal is Burning Heart, which is fun as hell

lol Time to be a smartass ;p

Negative BPMs ;D

And usually I agree with you on most counts of bar and slow-reading, Shash, but I have to disagree with your outlook on mines. Mines are just as important as arrows (moreso in ITG than SM) because they tell you what you can't do. They are there because they either emphasize the atack/cutoff of a note (especially a freeze) or emphasize a note that is emphasized in the music. Now minefields are a whole other story, because those are just thrown in there for difficulty's sake, and are retarded and don't add anything to a stepchart.

Tangent over. GJ on passing Max300 and your other stuff that I can't quite remember lol. Hopefully I'll be able to get Max300 and others like that when I get my CF and can practice ITG stuff at home.

Inherently retarded because no music actually has a negative BPM. I consider negative BPM's nonexistant, and any file that uses them to **** around with Cmods to be not worth playing.

I'm not at all interested in what I can't do, only what I can do. That's why I personally inherently don't like mines.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole mine system should be replaced with FFR's boo system, without holds affecting it in any way (since that would be almost impossible to deal with on pad). I just don't see how it makes sense, music-wise, to say that stepping in one place is worse than stepping in another place when you shouldn't be stepping in either place to begin with.

There's significant difference in the charts. It's a similar case with Max.(Period), actually. The Challenge chart is far less difficult than the Heavy chart.

However, as far as I can tell, Challenge charts were made for the sake of throwing something new into the mix, rather than simply adding more arrows in. In many cases they were also steps made to be played in an Oni course, or in the case of Kakumei, as a One More Extra Stage...stage.

Re: I played DDR for the first time ever today

What's Max.? Something on a different version?

Got my first SDG on an 8 (Jam Jam Raggae swing mix or something)...my accuracy is improving too

.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention that I combo'd the first 350 or so in Max 300 to get my A...missed a bunch after the freeze because my stamina was draining.

very nice

Re: I played DDR for the first time ever today

eventually ddr just takes stamina because theres a certain speed and skill where they stop making songs harder because they need to be semi-possible

Re: I played DDR for the first time ever today

not in the countries in asia especially Japan, and thats why i think that Japanese people are superior in DDR except for possibly the Chinese

P.S. Shash is probably better than most of us by now but is not at my skill yet :P
