TO those who said the syncing is bad in Supernova:
This is why the game lets you adjust the sync to the steps. If you adjust it (I think it's -2 in supernova's case), then it's actually decent to play the game at home. I adjusted it right when I got the game (which was when it was released), so I couldn't tell you what the number was. You'll know when it's right when you watch the arrows anyway.
I actually like Supernova. Mostly because you get 5 official Boss Songs as well as another 10 foot chart on Xepher. So that's 6 10 foot songs, and all the boss songs have a challenge chart this time around. This will keep the hardcore players happy, because the challenge charts on some of these 10 foot songs are a real pain. Fascination MaxX on challenge is insane. Matter of fact, the only one I've managed to beat on challenge is Chaos. All others I could only beat on Heavy.
Also, Supernova was not the only home version to have bad syncing. I had to adjust the syncing in Extreme 2, Max 2, and I think Max. I think Extreme (US), was the only one I didn't have to adjust the syncing to.
I guess I'm a hardcore DDR player, seeing as I built my own pad just to be able to play it. I got fed up with the crappy pads and prices of the good ones. SO I went and built a doubles pad. IT hasn't failed me since, and I've used it for more than a year now. I can beat 10s, so that should give you an idea of how I do at the game. I can't AA 10s just yet, but I can AA anything below a 10 if it's not something insane like Healing Vision Angelic Mix .
IMO the PS2 DDR games from best to worst are as follows:
Max 2, Extreme 2, Supernova, Extreme, Max
But don't get offended, because I play them all. I'm just more likely to want to play the ones to the left, than I am for the ones on the right.
Also, you know you are a hardcore player when you've played BAG.
So there you have it.. My thoughts on DDR. (Hmm, I should make a sig about that).
