L7 and Nothing Ain't Stoppin' Us L7...a 1 star and a 2 star respectively. So, they're not terribly difficult, but they're still quite significant to me since I've been playing this game for like three years and haven't gotten one until now. And then...two in one night! Neat-o!
I ban you from the non-AAA club. Hmph!
Average? HMPH!! XP!
Aww...but those were IIDX scores, not DDR. And they were super easy IIDX songs at that! My ability in either game is still decidedly average.
Can you wait until I get a DDR AAA to ban me from the non-AAA club? Pretty please?

I'll make my own club, Ho! (The H is capitalized purely because of the coincidence that your name happens to be Ho...the word would have been there regardless .)
I normally don't make a big deal about CS/AC and US/JP scoring differences, but it should probably be noted that for beatmania US, the scoring system is about an entire grade level easier than the Japanese equivalents. If we're counting DDR USA (AC), then I have numerous DDR "AAA"s :)
Still, a beatmania US AAA is probably at least a JP AA (work out your Ex score and see), which is quite an accomplishment given that game's decidedly harsh timings and difficult charts.
A normality test: +++ATH
If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

Thanks, you made me smile . Now I know that I've done something that's "quite an accomplishment" in the first few days after getting the game.

Getting a AAA on 14-key is way more of an accomplishment. You should go do that now.
Oh, yeah, and the US/JP scoring differences - it is possible to get a AAA on the U.S. home version and only qualify for an A under the Japanese scoring scheme. But it requires some luck.
It's fairly easy to get an A on the U.S. version that's "really" a C, though. At least on some songs. (E-motion a7 - it's not a hard song, why do I keep screwing it up?)

For a Japanese AA it's around 171000 or greater. On BMUS a AAA is equal to a Japanese AA.
Definitely none of my scores were even close to 187000, I don't even know if I've broken the 171000 limit...and I have a ton of AAs and 2 or 3 AAAs.

Damn...no wonder I suck so much!
Lol I think I've used all my fingers (on both hands...yes on 7-key) at one point or another. I play (generally) full 2-handed on 7-key and turntable/buttons on 5-key.
