I think you should mention DJ EXIT before anyone else.
It takes a long time to gain skills on double. Since you have to be capable to play each side well with only one hand.. while playing singles, for example, 1P only need a strong right hand, while 2P only need a strong left hand.
I can beat a few lv12 in SP.. while I can beat a few lv11 in DP..
So its like 1 lv apart for me..
After playing doubles, I have given up singles.. double is more fun to play =D
i dont spend a lot of time trying to figure out who the best players are and stuff so same as single player for every name of a good player i know theres hundreds that i dont
to me theres no easier way to lose interest in playing than realizing how wide the gap is between you and them
just play
maybe some cute anecdotes are in order like
you know youre good at double when you can pass taq songs and actually like playing them
I also tried Doubles in IIDX and the only achievement I got in that playstyle so far is clearing 4th Kyu and easy clearing Nijiiro (n). But then, I'm still an SP player most of the time.
If it were up to me, iidx would ONLY let players play double play. Makes it more of a dj sim like its supposed to be. I think if you really want to have fun and be challenged then play doubles, lots of fun and frustration, but it pays off ! (wish i started playing doubles from the get go).
I've been playing 14key for a couple of years and dropped 7 key as our arcade has double premium, I can pass a couple of 12s and a lot of 11's on dp but have trouble passing many 10's on sp. I've gotten used to everything being spread apart and split between 2 hands that when I see everything on one side, my fingers cross where they wouldn't in a double chart.

That's an interesting observation.
I guess it really depends on what you're used on.
I see I see.
P.S.
Which reminds me
I still haven't passed High [n] on double yet
Gawd, I better get back into playing doubles again (as our arcade too now has double premium enabled on the GOLD arcade machine)
I'm pretty ok at doubles. I've AAA'd a few 11s and passed about half of the 12s. The problem is that the difficulty spread on DP 12s is so fucking huge, you have some really pathetic 12s to clear and some really ridiculous ones.
Anyway, getting good at doubles isn't too hard if you're already good at singles.

Agreed.
I also feel that by forcing my non-dominant to some playing, it actually feels stronger.
This helps especially when I'm forced to play on 2p side where my left hand does more of the work (and I'm a right-handed 1p player).
It can also be beneficial in many other ways (like if you wanna play one-handed using your non-dominant hand haha )
So yeah, it really has its benefits
P.S.
Only benefits that I don't see are those any key + scratch.
Those are the only irritating things that I see about double.
Doubles players?
