I'd much rather it promote fun and innovation (as much as you can innovate on four panels - and it is possible). If I wanted to play DDR and ITG as-is, they're already there.

I'm sorry to say that I'd want anything different but that. DDR, ITG, and KB had seperate winners in OSC 5, anyway, so why only use DDR when, as will-i-am said, certain people show their strengths in either ITG (Hamm) or KB (Eggman)? This also prevents us from submitting multiple simfiles to the tournament, which is one thing that I simply adored.

And regarding your last post, remember the OSC 4 final results? Only the DDR simfiles got a handful of votes, mainly because people generally seem to be more entrhalled by DDR than ITG. The KB bracket especially didn't stand a chance. How unfair to those who only excel at making ITG or KB simfiles. I'm glad they changed this for OSC 5.
