Hmm, even with a steady learning curve 2dx still takes time to learn and patience. I also don't think Konami will take out the "great,good,poor" to make it like GH timing (yes the wide range timing) which would probably make it a steady learning curve. With Empress being the last release for the PS2 so I doubt Konami will make another version for the US in english on PS2. I can't say about the next release will be on the PS3. When I started playing 2dx it took me a long time to reach around level 6.
