I guess it's my turn?
Even though Merk sorta picked it, I'll just go ahead and call Can't Stop Falling In Love -Speed Mix- and make it official.

That is like the only doubles chart I've ever found fun (I've probably only played a dozen or so heavy doubles charts in my whole life though lol)Ho wrote:I guess it's my turn?

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
Well uhhhhh I already have a score for it so yeah let's make it official!
And yes it's a great chart. There are a lot of really good doubles charts out there that are just waiting to be discovered and that's sort of what this whole thread is about IMO.

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
Assuming I don't hate myself by the time I get home I plan on playing DDR tonight. Did we have a latest and greatest song to play?
How about Silent Hill 3rd Christmas mix? Since you know it's the holidays and all, have we done that one yet?

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
Ahhhhh, shit.... Let's uhhhhh, let's do Irresistiblement! I have no idea how that doubles chart goes but I do like the singles chart!
Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
I actually played last night, guys!
It hurt so bad.
I got an 836 on CSFIL -speed-. My score in SoS is slightly better, but I'll stick to my score from this play.
Irresistiblement was more of a struggle. Not so much that it was harder, but it was unfamiliar. And in my current poor form, that was a real handicap. I almost failed on attempt. Anyway, I got a 571. So...there's room for improvement for sure. Although it was actually slightly better than the score I had in SoS from 2015. We apparently already did this song. Oh well.
Hopefully I can get back to playing more regularly.

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
I've been playing semi-regularly, but I currently have 5th Mix installed, so I'm not able to play the newer stuff.
I did get 9 greats on CSFIL:SM before I switched (so still on Extreme with 1.5x). I also got 5 greats on Kick the Can.

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
Ahhhhhh fuck I need to start playing again. I've gotten back into lifting weights but I haven't played DDR in probably about a month. I need the cardio!
Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
I think it's MonMotha's turn to pick...
Please do. I'm feeling the urge to play tonight! (Let's see if that desire holds that long.)

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
Sorry! I haven't checked IndyDDR for a few days. (I know, what am I thinking!?)
Let's see...how about V. As I recall, both the Heavy and Oni charts are pretty good, but let's keep it simple(ish) and just do the Heavy.

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
Man, V is a good song! It's a good singles chart and it's one of those iconic Beet songs.
I really like the old days of Beet. The sound direction back then was basically just a bunch of random experimental shit and weren't just excuses to make hard charts. Nowadays it seems like Konami wants to make hard ass charts and they have their in-house guys make songs around the chart instead of making good beats and then writing charts around the song. And man, the licenses back then, all that Dancemania/AvexTrax shit, it was so catchy and so gay and I would never expose a regular Joe Six-pack to the stuff but it has a special place in my heart. There's something about Asians making sped-up covers of pop songs that resonates with me.
I blame Mei. I understand why Konami had to push the envelope with the song difficulty to keep the game interesting but I feel like something was lost in the direction the game took.
I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, but I lot of appreciation for the older stuff but that probably has to do more with the fact that I was 18 years old when I first heard the stuff lol

Re: Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle
I actually agree that the emphasis on difficulty before range and quality has undermined the series and it actually served as one of the reasons why I stopped playing actively for almost seven years.Merk wrote:Man, V is a good song! It's a good singles chart and it's one of those iconic Beet songs.
