Doing a inclass demo, Mei [7k] or Scorpion Fire [7k]?

[jsw1188]

Doing a in class 1% extra credit presentation on music, so I thought why not do IIDX? But I'm torn between playing Mei or Scorpion Fire 7K. I can pass Mei with a high B, but on Scorpion Fire, I bomb down to ~40% on the ending. It probably sounds a little showoffy but what do you guys would be the more "ooh ahh" song?

[Draxin]

people will be more amazed if you can pass something. I'd go for mei another









(yes that was intentional)













do mei 7k

well... maybe instead of a note crazy song that you have doubts passing, what about a song that wouldnt sound too obscure and you can A or AA. either way they are going to be impressed since they most certainly have never seen such a game.

example: when i played Be Quiet on RED, some people in my building asked about the song more than the game since they all seemed to like the beat.

Scorpion Fire

Agreed with mango, pick a song that sounds really cool, but you can totally destroy with an A or better.

[WEABOO]

I wouldnt pick something ridiculously hard. In my 6 years of DDR I've discovered that people are more impressed with standard difficulty songs than anything else. If the song is too hard they are intimidated and most of them quickly resort to making fun of you to compensate for their lack of skill (I meant that seriously).

I definitely would recommend something like EarthScape [A]. Its a slow song that shows off the piano and drums very distinctly as you play them.

hmm... how about stuff like resonate 1794 [7k]?
or V?

[kannazuki]

Agreeing with all those people up there, play a song that sounds really cool and you can do really well in. I'd recommend POODLE from HS, if only for shits and giggles.

and dude, seriously just have fun with it too. dont look too serious or zone out on the game. i have a bad habit of "focusing" real hard and looking like a zombie.

I think everyone does that :P

When I showed IIDX to my speech class, I played 5.1.1 7k so as not to make the game look too intimidating. People still thought I was amazing and were shocked that it was one of the easiest songs in the game.

Firstly, I want to say:
Playing IIDX gets you higher grades in school!?
I'm getting myself a controller! XD


On topic:
I'd say Mei..
Since I have absolutely no Idea what Scorpion fire is.. -_-

[cj iwakura]

Sounds like that class might like Scorpion Fire better as a song, and Mei might leave them thinking 'what was that'.

I'd go with the song likely to leave a better impression, so I'll say Scorpion Fire.

[Mangojoyride]

you gotta think about presentation too. scorpion fire is a kickass song, but the video is going to make them go "WTF does that mean?"

Seconding this. As for the song, my recommendation is to probably choose a song where the keysounds are really distinct and apparent to hear (as in not just a bunch of background drum sounds). I would definitely choose nothing harder than a 9 or 10. Come to think of it, I'm starting to like the the idea of Resonate 1794 [7k]. It's chill in the beginning while the end may surprise some people.
