Konami = big ITG haters :-( They probably wouldn't even be smart enough to put in a USB port anywhere :-(

Really? Max1 was awesome, Max2 sucked ass
Uhh, lies? Max2 and 5th are by far my favorite DDR mixes. Max1 was a downgrade from 5th, and Max2 brought it back to form.
Agreed. All Max 1 had that was worth it was Bye Bye Baby Ballon.

Random comment: The SuperNOVA2 logo looks like a cross between Extreme and SuperNOVA that got hijacked by a minor league hockey team.

From what I liked from Max1 was the songlist. I'm talking about the home versions here. Yeah, Max did begin the crazyness of the Max songs. It pretty much was a great landmark in the history of DDR. Without it, we wouldn't have anything tough. (That includes PSMO (hence- Paranoia Survivor MAX oni)

hah.

Max2, imo had a ridiculous songlist. It was a lot more mainstream music that I didn't want to play. + the theme / gfx (dark orange / brown / black) just looked bad. Max1 had the yellow, blue, brighter colors that attracted imo a lot more people.

If you think MAX was where DDR first started to get tough, you obviously haven't played some of the neo-maniac steps on 4th Plus. Go play Butterfly Upswing Mix Maniac Double. I think that song was the inspiration for Max 300.

Note that you have to do this on a 4th Mix machine. 3rd Mix has a different, older chart, and Upswing Mix never showed up again (unless it's on Supernova with the Maniac2 chart for some reason).

Also: the US CS releases of the Max era DDRs had almost nothing to do with their arcade counterparts. The JP CS releases were much more faithful to the arcade.

Also 2: You damned well better not be hating on MAX2 JP AC.

Some of the 9-footers on 5th mix are super-tough, especially on 1x. Romansu No Kamisama? That would easily rival Cartoon Heroes IMO.

Ahh. I started playing on 5th mix. (Konamix for ps1?)
At that time the hardest songs were maybe Afronova, maybe Paranoia, I was never much of a doubles player.

I guess you could also say my definition of tough is a 12 or 13 on ITG. Hah.

Konamix was based on the 4th mix engine. It was one of the more decent US releases, but was still somewhat toned down in difficulty compared to the JP releases of the time with I think Paranoia Rebirth being about as tough as it got. I'm not sure if the new maniac steps made it to the home releases of DDR in Japan or not, but they probably did. Any mix subsequent to 4th mix (until Extreme) would have had the new maniac steps instead of the old ones for songs which were given new steps on 4th mix. Extreme tended to put the original maniac steps as Heavy and the new ones as Challenge when such a song came up.

I know Stomp to my Beat was also given new Maniac steps, though I think the double chart was much harder than the single. The US MAX release with that song used the older, easier steps. Have You Never Been Mellow was also given some rather challenging (especially for the era) maniac steps on 4th mix which rather faithfully follow the percussion part.

Still, I think Butterfly Upswing Maniac2 Double has to take the cake for difficulty prior to MAX. When I first saw that chart, I thought it was a machine glitch!

Actually, that was Xanadu. :)

It certainly evoked a WTF from the both of us!

I stand corrected. You are right - it was indeed Xanadu.
