Why not Max300?

[NW330]

I personally find Max 300 harder. It seems to have more streams in it and that complete stop to more streams is rather brutal.

Energizer (hard) doesn't have Max 300 like streams but does have its fair share of difficulty to it. So I think the Hard steps are a little easier than Max 300's steps (but not easy overall by any means)

I find any 10 in itg to be easier than any 10 in DDR

with the exception of soapy bubble and 1 other which I cant remember

It is probably partially due to the fact that itg pads are a little bigger, the arrows are less recessed, and the pads are brand new. All that with the fact that the picture on the BIGGER screen is crystal clear and itg doesnt have any blinding backgrounds like DDR does just adds to it.

sounds exactly like me when i started ITG. I could pass all 10s and some 11s in ITG, and couldnt pass any of the maxes or paranoia survivors. (This was ITG1, so that means i could pass mythology.)
I just played a lot of 10s, and fast speed songs like remember december and no1 nation and disconnected to get good stamina and fast foot speed so when i was playing max 300, i could forget about energy and stamina and stuff and actually focus on hitting the arrows properly. It worked, and I finally passed max 300 with a B on the poopy pads ever to live. (Well, close)

Seeing that I play DDR more than ITG and I DO play ITG, I think I can contribute.

Max300, along with almost all DDR 10-footers, is 90-100 seconds of stream.

Energizer Hard, along with many decently hard ITG songs, is "fairly hard", but it lasts 2 full minutes.

In other words, DDR 10's give you less of a break, but don't last as long while ITG is a fan of giving you mini-breaks if you will but hold it out longer.

Some people have a problem with short death-runs and others have problems with endurance through modartely evil runs.

It just dependso on the player.



(P.S. Max300 isn't too bad once you get the 2 mega-runs down. After that it = easy 10.)

If anyone could confirm this, that be super, but from experience, it feels like ITG, compared to DDR, is

1) Harder to fail (you're life bar drains a lot less per arrow)
2) Has no sense of progressive difficulty (final stage seem to be no more difficult than 1st)

Remember that if you play on a dedicab, ITG pads are more sensitive than DDR pads. A light tap on an arrow in the middle of a stream is much more likely to register in ITG than DDR. I notice this all the time. I'm playing through Pandy Hard with my feet flying, and halfway through the song, I wonder why my combo is still going. It's because I'm still used to DDR-style pads, where I'd be getting Boos and Misses left and right for streams like that.

Wow, nice bumpage...

Anyway, on average DDR 10's seem harder. ON AVERAGE!

Both games have there Sakura's and there Vertex Hards and there D-Code's and Bags. Simple, so lets not talk about them.

The real 10's of both versions seem to be different in difficulties.
Take Max300. Would you honestly hold that up against Bend Your Mind? How 'bout My Favorite Game? Obviously, we don't even need to talk about Spin Chicken and Queen of Light because they're 9's in disguise.

You can say, what about Mythology, Tension, Disconnected -Hyper-, and Sweet World (The 4 hardest 10's going away for me) I can simultaneously say what about PSMO, Max. and F-MaxX? PSMH is a good deal trickier than Remember December, and those 2 10's are a good representation of what the average 10 difficulty is in DDR and ITG. Comparing Hand of Time with LoM however, isn't all that much of a comparison, LoM wins.

So yeah, I'm a firm believer that DDR 10's (save for Sakura, Bag, and possibly PS) are like ITG 11's minus 20 seconds.

This seems as good a place as any to ask this:

Keeping everything I've read in mind, is it odd that (All on console mind you) I can pass MAX300 (Albeit with a not-terribly-good score...C-B range), yet some of ITG's Expert 9s (Let alone 10s) hand me my buttocks?

I'll grant that there are probably other variables that I'm not taking into account--I haven't owned ITG nearly as long and am thus not as familiar with the songs in general, let alone on expert, to name one--but still. It's not even (Usually) due to stamina, just readability. Maybe I still have to find my ITG "comfort zone" as far as reading tempo goes.

But in any event, did this apparent anomaly happen to anyone else? How about weird combinations of "I can pass X but not Y" in general?

[Marq(uistadorous)]

Id say that it's a little odd, but it IS a different game after all. I mean I think the 9s in ITG r easier than m3, but ive played alot of itg. I cant AA (or fc) m3 too consistantly, But I can very consistantly fc all the 9s in itg, and many 10s and only a couple 11s (I can almost fc delirium, but that still needs some work)
