do you enjoy the challenge of offbeat songs?

I absolutely can't stand Wild Rush Heavy in the part where you can clearly hear the beat and the arrows follow a different pattern and I don't like Trip Machine ~luv mix~ much either for similar reasons.

I say who cares wheather it's offbeat or offsync. I just consider them weird notes.

On that note, GRADIUSTIC CYBER (AMD G5 MIX) can die for all I care.

No. These songs are so annoying. Even the easiest of them.

I mean.. I much more enjoy the challenge of a Can't Stop Fallin in Love Speed Mix Heavy than a Paranoia anything. I mean... that's what's cool about being good.. is that you can go so fast.. not memorize where random arrows are. IMHO.

I only hate songs where a step purposely place out of sync is extremely difficult to hit and keep up with the rest of the song. Example that can kill most: The Legend of Max. Jumps followed by triplets turned the opposite way at 330+ bpm is almost sure to KO me and a few other unfortunate souls.

to me, offbeat songs are fun for a certain amount of time, then they jus get on my nerves

The convention of calling them twelfths comes from the fact that in 4/4 time, a 4 quarter notes fit in a measure, 8 eighth notes fit in a measure, 16 sixteenth notes fit in a measure, and 12 triplets fit in a measure. Three-sixteenths? Huh? What? I can't even fathom how you could squeeze any .3333(repeating) out of that.

Simple Google search turns up this:

Off beat obviously exists. I may be a relative DDR newbie but I've been playing music for 5 years now. Off-beat means anything that isn't ON the beat. So quarter notes are on-beat, eighths, sixteenths, thirtyseconds, and anything triplets are all offbeat. I personally have no problem with those--I can't always do them, but that's just because I haven't trained my legs to move fast enough yet--I just really, really hate songs where the timing of the steps doesn't match the timing of anything in the music. Which I think is what off-sync means.
