Can someone please explain why at the end of this song it is going 400 bpm with (according to stepmania editor) 64th notes. i also have a question as to if the step jump part at the end is faster, slower, or the same speed as belovin's step jump part at the end. |

To the former question, all of the steps after the "freeze" are off-sync with the measures (even though they are on-sync with the beat). I believe this was an attempt to make the song more difficult to read on Rainbow, because it would have been a really easy matter to fix.
To the latter question, the steps are a bit faster than Be Lovin'. _________________

There's a part in FaXX with 1/12 runs and a couple of stops during them about halfway through. One of the stops stays put (intentionally) an extra 1/12 beat to throw players who are still learning the song off (as they will be an entire step early if they just follow the pattern).
As a result of the 1/12 beat offset created by that, the rest of the normally half-beat stepchart appears to be copy/pasted with "Triple" turned on, and the arrows placed one 1/12 beat higher on the stepchart; and DDR "triples" are usually displayed as a series of "10/32, 21/32, 32/32" beats, rather than actual 1/12 or 1/24's.
So technically, they *should* be mapped at 1/32's; but instead have been charted as 1/64's for sake of (accuracy?). You can truncate the section to 1/24's if you want dead-on musical timing, though files are often charted for scoring accuracy instead. In fact, DDR PC had End Of The Century charted a whopping 8 beats off - and some nut went and charted "offbeat EotC" *just* for the sake of completeness. I mean, WTH?! |
