Keep neuras, OR-IF-IS, Darwin, and Jena Rose for sure. on the bounce and Horatio Heavy were some of the best boss charts we've ever had and it's because the songs aren't 200BPM and aiming to be as tough sounding as possible without having any real obvious difficulty in the song (16th triples in the slowdown of Trigger? Really?). Flight of the Phoenix should have had a more energetic chart, that song was great. Darwin is a machine of good music.

If there are any of the commissioned artists that need to stay, it's those four. I liked some of the other stuff (Slip Out Remix <3<3) but those were the ones that stuck out in my head entirely.

While picking boss music, trying keeping it in the 140-170 (280-340) range for the most part, because those are where the best boss charts have always been. Pluto Relinquish Heavy, despite its difficulty, is really the only really high speed chart I feel makes sense and is worth playing.

"Which I'm incredibly happy for him since I want to see him succeed there, but kinda sucks since we won't get his quality charts anymore."

 

No love for Joseph =<

Add Challenge charts for songs that have low difficulty Heavy charts.

Like 7 or lower Heavy charts should have Challenge charts.

"just be patient and complain in a polite and encouraging way ;)"

 

Right. I'll just keep being patient for something we should have had since January. =DDD After all, it's totally explained why we don't have e-amuse, and Konami is  CONSTANTLY keeping us up to date with direct press releases. ^_^

"Also, keep in mind that Konami's current plans are to expand eAmuse only to Brunswick Bowling & Billiards."

 

I give up.

Right. But that's what I mean really... I appreciate you bring everyone's concerns to them, but can't you get some replies of some sort?

"Konami knows there is a strong demand for more eAmuse and they are actively working to make it available in more locations.  I wish I could tell you more than that.  In the meantime, thank you for being patient."

 

Could you please fervently request that they give you information so you can tell us more? If they really want to improve DDR and its community in America, you have the grounds and absolute right to ask this. Maybe even demand.

I'm losing faith that it'll get anywhere again.

What's going on? It can't be this hard, can it? I mean, Betson sat on a complete machine for months and even released it late, can it be this challenging to get e-amuse out? What have they been doing?

Who's fault is it now that e-amuse isn't out, Konami's or Betson's again?

Does Konami even care? They seem to be extremely Americaphobic about their press releases seeing as we don't even have an official English news site. They've only spoken through other people right now. How many arcades got e-amuse in Japan after half a month, compared to the 1 in America?

Could someone who's got some sort of standing just get in Konami's face, please?

The force is strong in this one.

And by this one, I mean TGLMaxX.

I'm glad to see someone who knows what they're talking about came up and made a stand (because I don't have enough logic in this area to make it).

Hopefully this'll get Konami to say "HAY GUYZ. WE CARE BOUT U. <3." or something.

"This is NOT the "What should have been added to SN2" thread" 

Anyways. Marvelous is okay, but PFC should be its own rank for sure. So should MFC I suppose?

Step chart misratings are fair-sized problem to those who aren't total experts. Ratings need to be thought of much more really..

I'm Mars. From Wisconsin. Yes, cheese. And milk. And Green Bay Packers.

I like Stepmania. Working on some song packs.

I've been playing since around the days of Extreme. I've had a soft mat from Gamestop for 2 years now and it hasn't torn yet. Passed Fascination MAXX Heavy on it once even. Strangely durable thing, hope it lasts me even longer.

Anyways, good to see you all. And really glad to see a more controlled and official community. =P

Those Bemanistyle people can get kinda wild XD

Not to start a mob, but...

Being controversial in the face of absolute unfairness seems to be the best way to deal with a bunch of jerks who won't answer any e-mails about anything they're doing wrong, let alone even listen to Konami.

It wouldn't be HALF as bad if it was just missing Extra/Encore songs like in SN1. But this is half the entire game here, half of what anyone's paying for to upgrade their old machines is being thrown to songs that can't even be touched whatsoever.

I'm a bit disappointed because of missing a HUGE chunk of new songs from the AC version, but overall it is NOT a bad mix whatsoever.

Maybe it would have been better with those songs, but I still love the choice in this one.

And about 2's, they also seem to have the best licenses. =P
