"Measuring sticks" of greatness by game.

[Sagat believer]

I still remember the pre-MAX days when the PARANOiA series were the measuring sticks of DDR greatness, alongside the Catas; nowadays, it's the MAX series and Catas & Up.

As I learned and was told in the GFdm community, Sasaki songs, Asaki songs, and the Day Dream/Model DD series are cited as the measuring sticks of GFdm skill.

Are there truths into these? How about other franchises?

In Pop'n Music, players' skills are measured by how many times you play Pop'n Taisou in a row every day.
