Re: DDR X2
my local theater had its DDR Extreme replaced with DDR X
It got removed after no one ever played on it for obvious reasons RIP DDR :<

I popped by Namco the other week and both the X and X2 had broken arrows on both sides, and the SN near them had a stuck arrow. Only the EM2 is worth playing there, unless you don't mind bad syncing and pad issues. Tbh, if you're going to London and want to play dance games head to the Trocadero (get off at Picadilly, follow signs) which has one of the only playable X machines, a fusion, a guitar hero, and if you're lucky a custom ITG machine. They're all hidden on the ground floor by the trampoline and toilets. Or imo better is to head to the Las Vegas arcade just around the corner near Chinatown. It has the newest PIU mixes, DJ Max Technika, GH, and that X2 from my photos. It keeps its machines in good condition too, and we're in talks about getting an ITG in there. Did you ever get a chance to play the ITG2 machine in Clarence pier during the 5ish years it was there? When I get my machine working properly again you can come give it a go if you want, although that'll be a while yet |

Re: DDR X2
unfortunately, no i didn't. The first time I saw it (about a year ago) the machine was turned off (which i later found was because the machine was in awful condition) Then the one time it was running it I saw it had tons of hacked songs on there but it was quite busy. (one of the only times I've seen the machines busy here) Then it was scrapped. (at least that I believe happened to it)
Ill consider going to the Trocadero or Las vegas, as it seems like the people running the arcade actually care about the machines. EDIT: Just looked at whats at Trocadero/Las vegas, seems like most of the machines are in better condition than the namco funscape, Ill speak to my friend about it and see if we can go there instead. (trocadero especially, according to zenius-i-vanisher, it has 2 sm cabs!)

Re: DDR X2
I thought Trocadero was dead? Closed down or something..
I played at the Las Vegas arcade, which had PIU, Technika 2 and the DDR X2 which I mentioned earlier |

Re: DDR X2
their definition of 13+ isn't at all like the ITG 13. Instead they just drown the chart with incoherent gimmicks and lightning steps instead of mines. The crossovers in DDR games are also abominable.
This game was just as bad as all the others after Extreme 2

Re: DDR X2
Yeah, X2 was pretty crappy stateside. The Japan cabinets did look nice though. Fortunately DDRII only had some of the good crossovers, but I don't play the Challenge charts, so those are out of my level of opinion.

Currently there are no level 20 songs (yet). PS: Vanessa is actually a nice chart, minus the ****ed up ending crossovers/12th spins.

As for the ZiV database, it's kinda correct. There's only one DDR SM machine in there, but the last 5 times I've been to London it's been off, and the locals report exactly the same thing when they try so I'd not count on that. The other SM machine is a PIU machine, but it's not as good as the 2 new official mixes they have at LV! If you want to keep up with the latest goings on with the London dance machine scene throw me a message and I can invite you to the facebook group if you're on there. Longgone - The Trocadero closed all of the upstairs floors, but they moved a few of the machines down to the basement level, and have since opened up a little 1 floor arcade down there. ddr_f4n - I'd imagine kommisar probably meant the songs that were meant to rival the difficulty of ITG 13s. I can't think of any boss songs I've really liked since SuperNOVA, as they've tended to be bad charts or they rely on gimmicks to add to the difficulty. Or both! |

Also that's annoying to hear about the ITG machine. (although im guessing the guy up north is pretty pleased) I may also send you a message on the london dance machine scene. |

Re: DDR X2
Just divide the ddr x rating by 1.5 and that usually gives you a good idea of where it would be on the ITG scale
