the 'pentagon chart' (I still don't know what that's called, but you probably know what I'm talking about).


That would be the "Groove Radar," which shows the step content of a song in the following categories:

Stream- Amount of steps that come in quick succession (8th notes usually)
Voltage- Overall density of steps (How many steps there are)
Air- Density of jumps
Chaos- Density of really offbeat and non-flowing step patterns (double stepping)
Freeze- Density of Freeze Arrows

Dark Mode was introduced in Max2 so it wasn't part of the original Extra Stage.



I knew I had something wrong, thanks for clearing it up.


Technically, "dark mode" was introduced in DDR 4th Mix JPN PS. It was introduced in challenge mode (Mission Mode in US Consoles PS2).

For some reason I don;t get as tired on Unlimited as on Max 300, but I can PA Max 300 a lot easier. At least, my black-flag says that xD

Oh, umm, Mx 300 was crazy when I first saw it. I started on a Max2 though, so like whats-his name, I played Unlimited more.

I started playing DDR relatively late, about 2.5 years ago. At that time, I wasn't serious at all about it. My first encounter with Max 300 was on Ultramix and it was one of those songs that need 4 people to pass it. Even about a year ago I thought it was crazy. I have passed it a few times but only with Cs and Ds. I just think you need a lot of stamina.

I was pretty excited about max 300.I always found myself too tired to pass it,though,so it took awhile of practice before I could make it.Eventually I was able to do a consistant B or A,and I'm pleased.Stil,I don't like it too much.

When I first saw Max 300 I thought it was awesome and just had to get good enough to pass it + all of the other 10's.Been playing 2 months and now I can consistently A+B it, pretty close to AAing it in the arcade.

Like almost everyone else, it was something like "How is ANYONE supposed to pass that?!"

How naive I was.

You all started late, I have only been playing in the arcade for a year. blink.gif

Anyhow, the song is really not that hard, just kind of boring to play now. I will only play it to improve my score, FC it, etc. I won't play it if somebody asks me to.

When I first saw ANY heavy song, I LITTERALLY thought heavy mode was a joke. I cracked up when I saw max300 laugh.gif

When I first heard about Max300, the thought of a 300 bpm song basically blew my mind. Then somebody sent me the stepchart, and I looked at it, and my eyes went wide. My reaction, I think, was "There is NO way in hell that humans can move their feet that fast."

Imagine what would have happened if I saw Fascination.

I'm sure there's a lengthy detailed description about the history of MAX 300 somewhere- but I'm not going to be the one to tell you.

I heard it first when a friend of mine lent me the DDR MAX, DDR MAX 2, and the DDR EXTREME CD (all of them ROCK). Anyway, when I first heard MAX 300, I was like "Hey, that sounds REALLY cool." Before I got the stepchart to it, I thought it would have BOTH the steps and the music going at 150 BPM. (Technically, the music is only 150, but the steps are double speed- Hence, MAX 300) Little did I know. After getting the stepchart and nearly killing myself on my bedroom floor the first 50 times, I began to pick up the patterns in the charts, and actually played MAX 300 in the arcade and got a C. Now I get B's and A's on the thing (Light mode, of course).

Now the two MAX songs I fear the most are The legend of MAX and MAX. (period) I just can never seem to move my feet that fast... disgust.gif

Yup. It's just that the 600 BPM part is hard to read, and there is more stream than MAX 300. You'll be able to read the fastness with practice. I can FC it. (On StepMania lol)

My 1st reaction:

"Ok, this doesn't look hard." blink.gif *Song starts* "ZOMFG!!! IT'S DROP OUT ON CRACK!!!"

I'd like to see people's reactions to PSMO!
