I dunno, it feels a lot harder to 100% with absolutely no gear than it does to flashing-great for most 140bpm++ songs for me. With max +TECH, it's ridiculously easy though, although difficulty scales back up for really fast songs like Nightmare or Leave it up to the Wind (Live)

Combo, on the other hand; DJMAX has always been a good laugh in terms of comboing - you mash buttons and even 1%'s register as combo (And you don't lose that much HP doing it too). Even though the game isn't that much about combo (see: multipliers, combo carrying over) it does earn the franchise some derision.

I'm tempted to say look at the top scores for both games just to compare how 'difficult' gameplay is for either (since thanks to communities like this often the best players are the same ones), except that most DJMAX scores posted have a bunch of +TECH on them.
