Some more stuff.

 -Make a option to turn the off the announcer during songplay

 -If you are going to make Shock Arrow charts out of the Light,Standard or Heavy Charts of the same song, why not instead make that a option and make new Oni charts all bland new, this way if people want to play the Basic with Shock Arrows they still can and the hardcore players can have their bland new chart.

Yeah DDR X US CS is just a preview of the upcoming Arcade, it would make sease due to the fact the location test just happened one week before this game's release. Japan's or even Europe's version would be more closer to the arcade and more complete for sure.

If you need someone that can do well in scoring in DDR, you need a PA Player,

if you something DDR and dance, you need more of a Freestyle Player.

Head over to DDRFreak or Bemanistyle (I suggest the former first) would be my suggestion.

Groove Radar is all right right but Max1 version is the best.

Anyways enough of that.

Upgrade Kits: Make sure this works on all machines, not just Supernovas, also make sure you shipped the kits with the new pad panels and seasors.

Cab and Pads: I heard that Konami may not keep the cab design from the location test. If this is the case, with your new choice of Cab Design, please keep your new pad design (or inprove it even more) alot of people mention the new pads rock. Also the 18,000 price tag is just nuts, you really need to lower it, even 12,000 or less is waaaay better.

Shock Arrows: Don't always use Shock Arrows on all four arrows.

Ultramix/Universe/Hottest Party Songs on AC: Don't know if this is too late for X but this is can be still used for future arcades but please add songs from these games, there is a few good songs and charts in these games.

Link Mode: I realise that DDR X CS US does not have a Link Mode for the arcade, so I am guessing the other versions (Europe and Japan) will be seeing this after the game comes out. Please find a way for US Players to take part of this feature as well.

Challenge on older Songs: Bring some life back to some of the older stuff, just don't turn them into Expert Charts with  Shock Arrows, if you want a idea on what  to do, make these charts range from 14 to 16 or something like that. I realise that alot of 14 to 16s are older stuff so this would be a good idea.

That's about it for now.

I argee with Bacon. I too heard that ITG PC was the last second thing due to the Konami Lawsuit.

But I should add that ITG PC was also hacked to bits and it's stuff was then use by Stepmania.

The only thing a DDR X PC version would have that would be better than Stepmania would be making Edits for DDR X AC and future versions......but sooner or later some guy would find a way to add this feature to Stepmania or something like a Sm chart to DDR chart converter or something like that.

So in short.

Stepmania would be the reason you won't see one.

Blurwoman, while I do argee that a National Tournament would be very good, there is no need to keep spamming and bumping this thread about it.  It won't make Konami go any faster. And you're not making a good inpression when you do that.

If Konami does plan to have a tournament, it will happen and if they don't then it just won't happen.

Alot of people here do want a tournament but most of us here also know it's up to Konami.

So in short, don't be surprize if it doesn't happen.

Anyways, Blurwoman, you should take your discussion about the tournament here

Also requesting a lock because we don't need more than one topic on the same thing.

No, they need to make an arcade DDR machine that has all the Disney stars on it.

There was a arcade mix with a Disney theme long time ago. From what I understand and heard from other sites it did very very poorly in the arcade.  There is very few of these cabs left in the world. All the other ones were upgraded to MAX2, Extremes, Supernovas, etc.

Konami won't be making another Disney Arcade mix unless it makes them the money to make up for it and judging by the poor sales and reviews of DDR Disney Channel. I'm pretty sure at this point, there won't be one for a very long time, mostlikey never again.

Depends..........

My old plan was to buy a cheap/used PS2 and get X. My main reason to get DDR X is for the Arcade Link Mode (for Edits =D) which is something I have been waiting for awhile.

But my brother and father have been talking about getting a PS3 and while I can clip in for a third of the price for that and they handle the other two thirds, my worry is that will DDR X run on a PS3.

I won't be using a pad for this reguardless so.

Wow I just read that.

If arcades and players have to go thur this crap during DDR X, it's gonna hurt DDR pretty badly

Blurwoman, if you seek a job from Konami then I suggest you can start by using that link Pie has given you. You will get a much better result then posting it here.

However you should also take EvilDave's advise on this as well. He wasn't attacking you or anything, he was telling you that it will not be a easy or very rewarding path.

I enjoy tracking my stats and my friends as well.

If Konami however adds support for this for arcades (DDR X can use USB so this can work in the future)

and have something like Groovestats or DDRecall than that would be very sweet.

Sadly this is way too far from where I am at.

So to those who do go, take lots of media if you can

There are some bad licensed songs out there but there is plenty of good ones too.

The same goes with the Konami Stuff.

So I choose both of those types of songs.

I think part of the reason some people don't care about the US License Songs is because they don't show up on Arcade Mixes. I think if more Ultramix/Universe/US PS2 Stuff show up in Arcades, more people would be in to them.

For example, I would be pretty hyped up if I heard that Daybehavior/Melody & Mezzo/DM Ashura/Sanxion7/Insert Song or Artist Here would be in the next arcade mix.

That's just what I think anyways.

Yeah I would prefer to play on a Dedicab myself.

There's lots of new stuff here.

I wonder how much of it will be in the arcade?

Guess we will find out once it comes out.

You do realise that one post is enough.

There is no need to spam this msg on every board.

Take it from me, High School Dating just doesn't work.

Almost everyone that I know who done dating in High School have problems with them.

You may feel sad that you are missing out on the High School Dating scene and it seems like most of the girls are going for the jocks, the gangsters and the rich but think of this.

Most of those relationships don't last long and the ones that do, if they are lucky enough, very few might last beyond high school.

Then  of course is the horror of being cheated on once you have a relationship in HS.

Cheating sadly is a common problem in High School and believe me, getting cheated on is a feeling far worse than the one you are feeling now..

So in short, you are better off waiting until you are older when more people have grow out of the "partying/cheating" age

At $18,000 I can already tell not many dedicabs are going to be sold.

Sadly this is true. And with a price tag that high, Konami would need to make sure the arcade owners would regret getting it.  If Arcade Owners lose too much money, then that means they get less future DDRs and work on other dance games.

Mind you with all of stuff I am hearing about (New pads, Edits, ect), this could make up for it.

Another thing I am wondering is how the Upgrade Kits are going to work.

Will one need SN or SN2 or can this work on all DDR Machines.

If this can work all machines, then that would be good too.
