Well, they not only seem to have not changed it, they seem to have completely embraced it. That (B240) section is my least favorite part of Dance Dance Revolution oni. I suppose I can see why they went with it (in DDR oni) if the object was to break combo as an OMES.

First of all, I have to say I actually laughed out loud at the topic title. XD

Second, I think the top 3 are deserving of their places. I would say Shake it Down was good, but I'm not sure if it clearly stood out as a 1st place winner in my mind, but I definitely thought of it as one of the more fun files. In all honesty, there wasn't one song from bracket 1 that particularily stood out as the most fun to me anyway...actually, I liked the Celine Dion song other than the damned circular freeze arrow stuff (not really appropriate for a what...6? It's something you'd see in ITG, but not DDR)

Anyway, congrats to the winners, I'll have the last of the videos up today (I just got a bunch of new ones up, and I have about 5 left to get up, including the two oni charts)

[edit]

All that's missing is "OMGzorz"

By which you mean it's the worst fucking step in a DDR song evar. Right?

I can deal with the weird step-16th-jump thing in Dynamite Rave, (I've black flagged it before, and it wasn't on that step either) there are step patterns that give me a lot more trouble than that one though. (Stuff like step-step-step jump-jump stuff near the beginning of LOM screws me up the more than that silly little Dynamite Rave quirk)

I like ITG more than DDR, so it's possible some ITG-ness crept into my DDR entry. I'm also not the best at figuring out what the difficulty rating of my simfiles should be. I usually just round up/down what stepmania says.

Other than that, I'm glad you liked it.

- discovolante's name is misspelled, as is Azure Haights'.
- jultz gave You Raise Me Up a 6.5, not an 8.5.

I believe that's everything.

Oops, sorry.

I don't mind double-stepping, I just don't really like the "Either freeze spin or move your foot off the arrows at the last second" dealie...it just wasn't appropriate for the difficulty level of the song, nor does it seem like something that you'd see in DDR. (Though there is that Spin Spin Sugar song on Extreme 2 I think) Anyway, point is it just took away from the enjoyment of an easy song in its awkwardness. If it were a challenging technical song, a pattern like that might be less noticeable.

silent hill oni
and yeah, spin spin sugar

but i'd be surprised if there wasn't more.

all i'm saying is is that in ITG the only time you find those kinds of spins are in bend your mind, and queen of light expert.

Juub005 · 08-17-2006, 12:09 PM

There's nothing really wrong with having one small difficult thing in a 6 footer.

You don't have to spin in Silent Hill Oni...I don't know how you've been playing it. XD

I'd have to double-check on Spin Spin Sugar, because I very rarely play home versions. I think it just might be like Ordinary World where you can just start on the opposite foot to avoid spinning, this file has complete spins though, starting and ending on the same arrow, if I remember correctly.

A 6 with "difficult parts" in DDR is a 7 lol...in my eyes at least. A 6 to me is like...Cutie Chaser Morning Mix or Keep on Movin, very straightforward.

Uhhhh

At the top of the second column. If you're not supposed to spin or doublestep that, what the hell are you supposed to do?

Not that I care, I hate that song/stepchart.

It's pushing it, but it's not a complete turn. That whole thing can be done while looking at the screen the entire time, you're just twisted funny.

New Jersey slang for that is a "270". I think Cartoon Heroes has that too but not sure.
