have you noticed that when you count the combos with jumps as two, both max 300 and legend of max have 573, and when you count it as one, both max 300 and maxx unlimited have 555 and legend of max has 500? also, counting with the first method on 321 stars gives a 321 combo in relation to the song title. im just thinking, are they actually trying to increase or limit the combo of these songs to fit these numbers? wouldnt that seem to affect how the steps must be devised? because the steps seem even in jumps and stream, so its really strange...

573 is a special number with Konami.

If someone doesn't have a high score on the high score list, check out the default score.

No.... that notion is ridiculous.

The combo system was revised for 6th mix, so it couldn't have been redesigned with 321 stars or LoM in mind.... and the designers of the game would not have been foolish enough to risk tweaking a proven system so that the combo on a single song matched their company name.......

How is that notion ridiculous? I already mentioned how the number 573 is a special number in DDR. Then there's .59, which in Japanese culture represents Heaven.

Numbers are important to the Japanese, and it is evident in DDR. What proof do you have that any notion is ridiculous?

I doubt they'd have designed the combo system *for* these songs, but max/MaxX haveing 573 max combo wasn't coincidence.. They just added/removed a few arrows to have that effect. Remember that Konami made the songs too, so they could make it the right length and BPM to have that many steps.

I'm sure if it was sold for profit, Konami would clamp down on it (I'm sure it's a matter of time before they clamp down on ITG).[/quote]
