you can, but it really doesn't mean sh!t. youre talking about what, around 50 people? more people than that play DDR.


DDRecall has over 2500 users listed. I think that's a large enough sample size.


but the only people that matter on the site to our argument are the people that have AAA'ed CH/Max 300 and put it on the site. That amount of people is trivial.

That amount of people isn't all that trivial when you consider how many people have actually AAA'd Cartoon Heroes and/or Max 300. I doubt it's in the thousands (If it's that high, I'm gonna start to feel a lot more insignificant). Although I didn't take an SRS, this is about as close as it's going to get, and 50 out of a thousand isn't too bad.

There is no way to know what percentage of players use DDRecall, and whether skill level is related to DDRecall usage.
There are too many variables to consider.
How many AAA's are there that aren't on Recall? WE DON'T KNOW. WE CAN'T KNOW.
Using that site to come up with actual statistics doesn't work.

I'm not saying my estimates even close to 100% accuracy, but the population of DDRecall has to show some relation to general DDR population as far as scores are concerned.

No, it doesn't. There's no way to know how accurate it is, no gauge to use to tell how non-recall users score.

Ratings are ratings. We can't change them. We didn't rate them to begin with. We can't do anything about it. This thread lost its credibility around page 2, and I have no idea how it's still alive and unlocked.

All I know, is that I live among a fairly large ddr population, I know about 20-30 heavy players and I am the ONLY one who uses ddr recall. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Good job, I've already given up so I'm not smoking anything.

EDIT: I don't smoke to begin with, but I'm definitely not gonna smoke anything you give me.

It just might explain a lot. By the way guys, I ***'d Hardcore Symphony Expert the other day. I didn't have a camera, but I have a nice SM screenshot, which is just as good.

to get off of everyone elses subject and to get on the topic.

i think a 10 footer is given the name of being a 10 footer because, song needs to have a lot of eather voltage stream or choas.

like all the max songs, although the max songs have super fast BPM 300 and up (excpt PSM) i dont think that speed matters in a song becoming a 10 footer. take Bag for instance, i think its like 63 bpm and it a 10 footer. and then theres sakura(one of ny favorite songs) i honestly dont think it should be a 10 footer i think it should be a 9 footer but i think the bpm boosted it up to a 10 footer just b/c its 300 or maybe a little more, but its relativeily an easy song.

For me extreme speed or extreme slow makes a song a 10 footer. For example Sakura or Bag or LOM. Also the difference i see on alot of challenge songs that seperate them from the heavy is step deviance from the beat of the song. I guess lots of chaos is also what puts a song up there in feet.

yah i agree with you there. cause sakura is a challange but nothing of a 10 footer(but that is just me). now cartoon heros is a very tough song for me, i think it should eather be a 9.5 to a 10 footer, cause that song is just full of tricks and goodies.

A song is a ten footer when the number of feet the song is rated is ten. And no less than ten shall suffice. Also, the number of feet, being more than ten is unsuitable for a ten foot rating. Twelve feet is right out! So therefore with the number of feet being ten, and ten being the number of the feet. Thus it shall be a ten footer.

I love these easy to answer topic titles...

One of the reasons Sakura is supposed to be a ten footer is that it is hard to PA and part of the difficulty came from PAing the song. My best on that song is 9 greats, one good.

Everyone forgot to say that PA can be part of the difficulty. The only two reasons why Cartoon Heroes is a hard nine footer is because of the speed and it is easier to PA than Sakura. My best on it was 7 greats FC
