I actually had a moment like that as well. I charted Unwanted from Avril Lavigne and was trying my best, but the chart did not make sense. I could not get the flow right... I checked if BPM was right, but my usual 4/4 patterns did not fit... until I noticed it is in 3/4 time. Adjusted the patterns and boom, great chart! Adjusted the videos also to change after 3 measures instead of 4 and everything came back together.

I’m so glad that BagTriplets™ are a thing of the past

​@@cmyk8964The comment's probably talking about "I'll Make Love To You"

0.5 speed mod is too much for me lol

I know this is an old post, but wow... No wonder I suck at expert bag on ddr.

What was wrong with it?

​​@@MikeTheEntei Incorrect quantization and BPM at the beginning. The beginning steps are fourths, however because it was misstepped there the BPM slows down at the first gallops to make it on sync. This makes it very difficult to PFC and many have had issues getting a PFC because of that part. In DDR X - present this was fixed by shifting the beginning quarter notes to half a beat earlier to 8th notes, which removes the slow down, making it way easier to PFC

@@jasonmartinez5116 Oh, fun!!

I didn't know about these

@@ManiacStepper Yep. Here in Kneesocks, notes 400-419 were 12ths. They were later changed to 8ths and 16ths. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdqKjdWg1qnRp2w.html

One month later, I get a perfect full combo for the broken EXPERT stepchart for I'll Make Love To You at least three times. Turning on the handclap option in Training Mode really helped.

Thank you! It takes long to make these kinds of videos but I'm still working on some of them

The slower ballad song hurt even more 🥲

Gracias Samira Por eso mismo es que me tardo mucho. Editar me toma días.

@@ManiacStepper Pero te queda brutal! The "fixed version" is my fav part of the vid!

Esa parte me dio mucho trabajo

I think the same. It gave it an extra challenge, too!

I thought about adding gotcha but I didn't found the steps with the quantization. Chris agreed with the list so I discarded it.

Thank you! Let's see if I stay 🤣

Alright! Let's make it happen!

You have to forget everything you learned from singles, spins and rotation of the body works completely differently in doubles. Learning the cross patterns from pad to pad is the hardest part, I'd suggest songs like Jane Jana for crossing over, things like Sexy Planet NSMM for jumping across the middle.

@@firewindentertainment Classics like Brilliant 2U on Double Maniac/Heavy is mad fun too.

I might've slipped that one! Thanks for the correction

Oh, thank you for the confirmation. I had a feeling the quantization errors for I'll Make Love To You, much like BALLAD FOR YOU, were fixed in DDR SuperNOVA2.

Yes, most definitely. Especially the older mixes. Everything DDR Extreme and up got fixed after the release of DDR SN2 and X if I recall correctly.

@@ManiacStepper So if I want to get a Stepmania song pack that has the fixed steps from DDR X for older songs I'm assuming I just have to look for something newer online? Also thanks for responding. Your video showed up on an Ordinary World song video... I was getting nostalgic and listened to that and the algorithm blessed me with your vid. My state had a lot of converted DDR USA to DDR 8th Extreme JP machines. That's where I stopped playing. It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do with the later mixes. Did the Western/SEA releases differ from the JP releases? I am mainly familiar with 8th Extreme JP on both the arcade and PS2 being the last one I played l.

I'm pretty sure you could find everything in Zenius-i-vanisher.com

@@ManiacStepper Thank you sir. Back in my day it was Bemanistyle lol

Misuse of a comma.

I'd say everything before 5th mix was terrible, mostly because of the system used to run the games. Frame rate too

You're absolutely right. It wasn't quantized correctly in DDR Extreme and Supernova, even SN2 iirc but it got fixed in DDR X

Another thing: This could possibly be because of a quirk with HOTTEST PARTY 3's engine, since it was mostly modified from HP2 which had mostly had the old sync prior to DDR X.

Another song I would like to mention is the original Expert and Difficult charts for The Island Song from DDR 2010. The original charts had the 24th triplets mischarted as 16ths, making the rhythm sound strange but relatively easy to PFC. Difficult doesn't have much problems, but it's mostly well seen on Expert. These charts were later fixed in DDR 2013, where they used proper 24ths. Although I will have to say that the ending jump is a bit more difficult on the fixed version, but still an easy PFC to get. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqunbNWFvty1Y6M.html

Another song I know with quantization issues: MATSURI (J-Summer Mix) in DDR Festival also has quantization issues everywhere, mostly incorrect inputs. Most of the notes were 16ths or 8ths. Although the chart was fixed in DDR Supernova, it's slightly different compared to Festival's, especially at the long freeze arrow sequence in the middle where some of the notes were removed which is a shame. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6djmNeWxLrXdqc.html
