Should AAA's on shuffle count..?

[42987||;]

If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it...but I want outside opinions on the matter. Personally I don't know what to think about it. Yes there are the same amount of steps in the song but it's not the official step pattern..which could make it much easier to AAA a song (Sync Oni for example). What do you guys think???

[pyroddr]

yes

a AAA is a AAA...if I were to AAA Max 300 on shuffle, it had damn well better count! while there are cases where shuffle patterns may be easier than the normal steps (sync oni, leading cyber, kiss kiss kiss to name a few) if you get all perfects, it's still ALL PERFECTS (and ok's) so it's a AAA...

The machine still shows AAA on the results screen if you get all perfects on a shuffled song. So, I don't know why it shouldn't be counted as a AAA.

I guess it should count. It's not like you're using little or anything, I mean you still have to hit the same number of steps... plus, you have the risk of the steps being harder too, so it's really a matter of chance.

I would actually argue that a AAA on shuffle is better than a normal AAA. You never know what you're going to get on shuffle, while you can just memorize the normal steps for a given song. Granted, a AAA is amazing either way and should still count either way. But I just find anything on shuffle more of a challenge (most of the time), especially on 9's and 10's.

for the most part, yes AAAs should count, but certain songs have shuffle patterns that make it 309480248204239432439024023049809 times easier. The only reason why sync oni is hard for example is because of the placement of the skips. Kiss Kiss Kiss could go either way (a grosser shuffle pattern or an easier one), but imo, some songs are difficult because their orginal steps have a certain theme to them (kkk and the crossover freezes), and by changing that, you get rid of the point of the song.

Has anyone ever AAA'd anything on little that had non-1/4 notes?
Doubt it.

It counts those steps as misses, right?[/quote]It doesn't count the steps at all. You just got no dance points for them, so it's really equivalent to getting goods on them. Since you need 100% of the DP in a song, putting a song on little that has even one non-quarter note will mean you can't AAA it.[/quote]

actually its like getting a miss but having nothing subtracted from your dance meter cause a good adds points. its the same way if you take the freezes out. the N.G.'s don't count for or against you. anyway, if you put shuffle on a 10-step song, you AAA an unexpected pattern, but that's my opinion

Should they "count"...? My opinion, yes.

But, are they different? I also think yes.

If you AAA Sync oni on shuffle, you still got an AAA. But you got one on exactly that: Sync oni shuffle. I think that's different from an AAA on Sync oni non-shuffle. I mean, I took the time to learn how to crossover the whole thing, and now I'm down to 6 greats. Whenever (if-ever >_<) I manage to AAA it, I'll be happy. So, if someone else aaa's it on shuffle, I still say they aaaed it... but it's still different.

Should they count? Absolutely!

Shuffle relies on your ability to read arrows. I'd doubt one could actually memorize the 6 pattenrs shuffle brings (is it 6 or 8? I don't remember... could someone confirm on that, please?).

I do agree that some shuffle patterns can make a song easier technically (ie: change the way a crossover is done, thus making some easier/harder, depending if you have trouble with them or not), but it can make it harder as well. So I say yes, they should count. They bring a different challenge to the table.

like others have said, if it shows a AAA, then you obtained a AAA, although, like ninjafetus said, it's different, mainly because some of the songs are made 'easier' on shuffle, another example (besides sync ONI) that would be easier on shuffle would be Air, IMO
