The only ones I know are D2R, Burning Heat, and Hyper Eurobeat. Any others?

I would say Mineko Rock, Ska a go go, Pink Rose and Healing Vision(Angelic Mix).

Ok... this is my view of songs that are "offbeat"...

I have been playing drums since i was 12 (i'm 18 this May 23rd), been in vocal choir since i was 14, bell choir since i was 15, sung in plays since Freshman year and have been playing DDR since December 2003. As you can see, music, beat and rhythem have been a major part of my life.

Now, whenever my brother plays ddr with me, he always complains that some ddr songs are offbeat. I'm sorry to everyone that disagrees with me, but i don't believe any song is offbeat at all. I notice how every note goes perfectly with each song (Yes, that includes Pink Rose). You may, like i said before, not agree with me, but try to listen to the song and the beats REALLY closely, and soon it will become evident that these beats do, in fact, go with the song. It takes time, but once you understand it, then you'll actually (believe it or not) pass songs better.

Ok. I respect your opinion and i understand your point of view, but i'm sorry that you have no musical background and can't seem to grasp songs that aren't simplisitcally composed of 4th and 8th only. If every person that said, "This song is off beat and so are the arrows", then they need to open up their mind and study the songs more. The arrows clearly fit into some aspect of the song...

Funny, too, it said in that thread that xenon was off beat... are you kidding me. If you clearly listen to the background music, it fits it perfectly. And Ordinary World? OMG.... you need to get your facts straight....

Also, the reason why people say it's "out of sync" is because it's not going with the regular 4th beat rhythem. Most 12th note, 16th note and 32nd note in a song is there because it's mimicing something very significant and discrete in the background, which in turn, challenges the player to get into the true rhythem of a song... and every aspect of it...

...and i have played D2R... i have Extreme... it's perfectly fine...

For god's sake man. You are just getting into fights with anything that can get you pissed or you can exploit. Go into his posts and make him look like a complete moron. I'll help you if you don't mind.

My take on the whole off beat vs off sync debate;

Off Beat is another term for Syncopated. Example of normal rhythm, bold = "the beat" that you'd step in a DDR song:
One and Two and Three and Four.

Example off Off Beat or syncopated rhythm:

One and Two and Three and Four.

Electro Tuned (The Subs Mix) has plenty of examples of Syncopated steps, but the song is On-Sync.

Many DDR songs are Off-Sync, but not Off Beat, such as My Summer Love. This is where the arrows are slightly out of time with the rhythm of the song.

People need to learn the difference between these terms, as most people seem to think they are 2 terms for the same thing.

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]

Mmmk, look. I'm going to save myself the warning points and say this: I don't want you to continue to argue, until you go play D2R on a Max2 machine.

I've only played D2R on Euromix 2, and the sync seems fine. The main point I'm trying to make here is that the thread's title is wrong, unless you want songs that are off beat and/or off-sync. They are not the same thing.

Songs that "don't go with the regular Quarter/8th note patterns are syncopated/off beat. Unless there's a problem with the timing off the arrows, they are not off or out of sync.
