Merk vs. IndyDDR: Waiting for a Merk-acle

[Ho]

I would call you a miserable failure, but I didn't play any DDR last week either. But I got up to level 22 on Destiny.

So...how about those other-than-Extreme 573 mixes?

[Merk]

Which mix and song would you like to play, sir?

[Ho]

OH SNAP!

Bu Dam on 3rd Mix Ver.KOREA2. (Should be able to play this on regular 3rd Mix, 3rd Plus, 4th, or 4th Plus, too.)

You'll like this chart. It's a mid-tempo 8th note stream ala Make Your Move.

[Ho]

Played tonight. I'm not following the very beginning of Insertion. I can't seem to link up what I'm hearing and what I'm seeing. I usually miss or get at least one good in that opening sequence. The eighth notes after the break also seem really random to me.

At any rate, I was able to get a 594 with a full combo and a 596 with 1 good and 1 miss. I will, atypically, take the higher score. I'll have to try this song again. Maybe I'm tired or just missing something tonight.

The beginning of Insertion is the exact same as the beginning of Max300, timing wise. Maybe even arrow wise for a bit, but definitely timing if I remember.

Here's the chart itself.

Oh, Doubles... nevermind. Talkin' bout Singles!

[Merk]

The weird shit at the beginning goes with the little snare hits which, I agree, are a little hard to hear and are pretty awkward to step especially right at the beginning of the song. The 8th note shit right after the freeze is exactly the same rhythm in the singles chart which I have played a *lot* so that part wasn't too bad for me. The thing to remember about those eight notes is that the tempo does not change at all while you're stepping them and you need to mentally block the audio out since it does not go at all with the rhythm of those notes.

[Ho]

Yeah. That's my problem with those 8th notes. There's nothing at all hard about them except that they don't go with anything in the song. Also, the song isn't really doing much at that point, so it's hard to judge the tempo, too. I guess I've just gotta turn on my mental click track.

[Merk]

Yeahhhhhhh. The doubles chart kind of sucks at that part since you're doing this weird little pattern from the 1P side to the 2P side. The singles chart is much easier at that part since you literally just have to rock back and forth between the up and down arrow at an even pace.

Does Bu Dam only appear in 3rd mix or does 4th mix have it as well? Ideally I'd like to put in 4th mix plus

[Ho]

Bu Dam on 3rd Mix Ver.KOREA2. (Should be able to play this on regular 3rd Mix, 3rd Plus, 4th, or 4th Plus, too.)

[Ho]

I'm totally fine with 4th Plus. There's tons of great songs in it. Also 30 fps and the slowest menu system Konami ever came up with.

[Merk]

You see, my problem is a never go back and read old posts. I treat some threads like a real ass stream-of-consciousness.

I'll see what I can do to get 4th Plus on my machine. There were some good charts on there that never made it to other mixes.

[Fluffyumpkins]

Remember old 4th plus battle mode? That was awesome.

[MonMotha]

Hey everyone! They're gunna fight!
