This is a much better presentation indeed. I was watching the stream live and I can tell you just how much shorter and organized this is. And hot damn that surprise Egoism 440 curb stomp comeback.
7:07 CHRIS FOR .............................. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Wow this is what Konami needs to do, amazing just amazing the way that you bother to get into that 8 hour live stream and extracted and edit the DDR part of the KAC THANK YOU!! that doesn't described the gratitude I have for you right now. 😂
Very nice video, indeed. And I can see why the KAC went on to another score system instead of keeping this one. Chris4Life won Egoism 440 by a nice margin, surpassing even the advantage FEFEMZ had with the other two songs. I believe it is half strategy and half unfairness. The second part was solved with the new score system, while strategies will be present as long as there will be player picks instead of random songs.
The total EX gain from the 16th stream section before the speed up of each player are 42 67 86 54. (1232 1202 1190 1185 -> 1274 1269 1276 1239) It's amazing to see that the forced slow reading can make this difference happen. If FEFEMZ had got this part the final score would be really close, as the final difference was 31 EX points.
Score tally was the point total across all songs. This score contributed to who won. If he had landed this segment better, he could have beat Chris across all 3. It's not best 2 of 3
All the horizontal crossovers like LDR LUR will turns into vertical thus easier to step. Especially for troll chart like Dead End GRS it is quite well known that the mod will not introduce any more challenge but actually make it easier (look at the second verse the player with right mod has way less horizontal crosses)
I have a question about torments and stuff, why are rotation options allowed? I feel like when players use right, left or shuffle, it makes certain songs a bit easier, it gets rid of complex patterns, but it does make new ones, it would be nice for the difficulty to be consistent. I think the only one that I think it ok is mirror.
Also, I think if fungah would have been able to pick a song, he might have had a good chance at 2nd place. I'm also curious as to why fungah chose shuffle for dead end groove radar special.
Question for you guys. Players 1-3 have their scroll on normal (overhead), and their combo numbers are behind their arrows. Player 4 has his scroll on reverse, and his combo numbers are ABOVE his arrows, partially blocking them. Is there an option to set the combo display behind the arrows, or is it just a reverse exclusive "get fucked for playing reverse" kind of thing?
You need to buy an E-Amusement pass and link it with your Konami ID to enable/disable that. You can also turn on the guidelines as well. But if you want the SLOW/FAST feature you need PASELI subscription.
The 3 people with picks had the best scores for their region (Japan, USA, Asia) and automatically advanced to the finals. 4 other players also invited to the finals had to compete for the 4th spot and don't get a song pick in the finals.
Andrew Blechinger no, the wild card was kaze.573. all of the second place getters competed with the wildcats for a spot in the finals. the winner of the semi finalists was fungah. Only the first place getters get to pick a song so Fungah missed out.
Oh wait i just realized you meant half of the receptors on the bottom not the actual screen, to be honest I dont know how it helps. I have the same option on and helps just a little with my games, i dont know why but it just does.
I think the reason players use this option is so they know exactly when to hit he note, as in once the tip of the arrow hits the grey part thats when they step on the arrow to get a marvelous. I dont know if this is right but maybe thats why people use it
Dr. D Gaming yeah hidden plus is for the bottom for reverse and sudden plus for the top for reverse players, then again i doubt too many people will tell the difference unless they use it ingame.
7:08 CHRIS 4 WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE CHRIS 4 WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
No offense to anyone but you're wrong. Pump is way better and also much harder, especially in Rank Mode using VJ judgement. Just came back from USPF 2018 and Chris Chike tried out for the qualifiers....he got a B on an S18 and got cut. I love Chris and enjoy his videos but the difficulty of Pump charts is a paradigm shift above DDR charts. Top Pump players also look like they're dancing....not just spasming. Both games are great.
Daniel Lee DDR players lol. Everytime they see pump getting any attention, they get butt hurt. Admit it, it's a better game. Better put together, better screen, better speakers, better cab. DDR looks like it's been put together by high school kids. The next release should get rid of the fruity ass announcer lmao.
Eh Not really, they've always been better at DDR than the Japanese even before ITG came out. World titles in the early 2000s were always won by Americans not by Japanese.
mrlionX yep but wasnt "good" enough (not enough song choices, bad songs, too short, bad stepchart, couldnt see the arrows clearly, etc...) so ITG came and made the difference :p
I don't know what ITG has done but we're talking about the origin on how Americans are better at DDR than Japanese. Its because we were always one step (no pun intended lol) ahead of them.
holy shit I never knew I needed this video
It's so... CONDENSED! And ORGANIZED!
Exactly, you don't know you needed it until you see it. This is how the finals should be rewatched.
Dr. D Gaming ahahaahaha yes my friend
FishamanP すそ
these competitors are actually world top athletes rather than video gamers
lia Aisha y not both tho
I gotta say that FEFEMZ combo on egoism 440 challenge was impressive.
Inujosha and then Chris would go on to PFC it later on.
7:07 CHRIS 4..... RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!
THE GUITAR HERO GUY
Someone had to say it.
I have to admit, it's nice seeing the top players in the world still dropping combos on the hardest charts.
*watches FEFEMEZ*
Nevermind.
I was hoping someone would do this. Thanks for an actually organized and comprehensive presentation, Dr. D!
Thank you so much for organizing all the plays!
This is a much better presentation indeed. I was watching the stream live and I can tell you just how much shorter and organized this is.
And hot damn that surprise Egoism 440 curb stomp comeback.
Very much kudos on this Dr D. This was very comprehensive and I love how this is. All KAC should have this format.
SO impressed by FEFEMZ keeping that combo together for the end of EGOISM440. Good lord.
Did Brosoni have a bad day or something?
Nah, the others were simply better man :)
FutileExistence I think he had a bad day tbh, I've been following him for years and I know he can do better
Quake it's a tournament setting and they are playing these cold. EVERY ONE could have done better
FutileExistence Fair enough
the ddr gods cursed him for picking degrs
Amazing video. Thanks for putting the time in getting this together.
Well-summarized video. I didn't know how the new champion had overwhelmed the other competitors in Egoism 440.
4:42 PARANOiion
_dubl LOL
MAXX360
Thank you so very much for compiling this Dr.D ! Thank you for all your time and dedication into creating this :)
thanks for these videos Dr. D. you're keeping DDR alive o_- b
holy crap this is good stuff Derek i really like how you edited the matches
This was the best KAC in my opinion.
What a comeback for CHR4LFE on EGOISM 440, his pick in fact, after FEFEMZ took on the previous two songs!
that was amazing. What a run from FEFEMZ at the end of EGOISM 440 challenge. I could never manage that in my life I can't move my legs that quick
Your skill is unbelievable. Congratulations!
This is real esport! I’m so proud to be part of the DDR community!
7:07 CHRIS FOR .............................. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Wow this is what Konami needs to do, amazing just amazing the way that you bother to get into that 8 hour live stream and extracted and edit the DDR part of the KAC THANK YOU!! that doesn't described the gratitude I have for you right now. 😂
Thanks so much for the kind words. It did take a lot of work to edit this but it is worth it when I know people enjoy it as much as you do.
Dr. D Gaming this is amazing
Dr. D Gaming also I think KAC should have a beginners division of some sort
Daniel Walstow That sounds pretty dumb
@@daniel18gamerdw More doubles and youth (under 18, for singles and doubles)
I miss DDRE more than anything. The joy it would bring to play this during the pandemic.
there is a new DDR called DDR A3 only for Arcades however
I really wish they would have brought these announcers back for KAC 2017. They have so much more energy than the ones from 2017.
Konami needs to deo this themselves. Amazing job Dr. D!
THIS is THE original esport
Fefemz run on Paranoia was so good!
Very nice video, indeed. And I can see why the KAC went on to another score system instead of keeping this one. Chris4Life won Egoism 440 by a nice margin, surpassing even the advantage FEFEMZ had with the other two songs. I believe it is half strategy and half unfairness. The second part was solved with the new score system, while strategies will be present as long as there will be player picks instead of random songs.
U1 looks pretty pissed giving the award to Chris
nah he just looks like that all the time I'm pretty sure
I don't know why Brosoni would do that to himself having the arrows behind the combo and judgement.
0:33 when Chris tries to hand the mic over to Jeff and forgets he doesn't get to choose
3:55 is where FEFEMZ lost his chance.
Kyoto-Moto Ironic seeing as he chose the song. It's sad but I'm glad for Chris for pulling through EGOISM 440 for the clutch win.
Castformer the difference was ten points
The total EX gain from the 16th stream section before the speed up of each player are 42 67 86 54. (1232 1202 1190 1185 -> 1274 1269 1276 1239) It's amazing to see that the forced slow reading can make this difference happen. If FEFEMZ had got this part the final score would be really close, as the final difference was 31 EX points.
He lost on Egoism...
Score tally was the point total across all songs. This score contributed to who won. If he had landed this segment better, he could have beat Chris across all 3. It's not best 2 of 3
Does anyone know why fungah decided to do the first song on shuffle?
You can use the "right" and "shuffle" mods in tournament?? I wonder why they chose them :o
All the horizontal crossovers like LDR LUR will turns into vertical thus easier to step. Especially for troll chart like Dead End GRS it is quite well known that the mod will not introduce any more challenge but actually make it easier (look at the second verse the player with right mod has way less horizontal crosses)
I have a question about torments and stuff, why are rotation options allowed?

I think the only one that I think it ok is mirror.
o4ma. uses downscroll; truly a man of culture
How the hell did chris4life pull almost a 100 pt gap between fefemz
Also, I think if fungah would have been able to pick a song, he might have had a good chance at 2nd place. I'm also curious as to why fungah chose shuffle for dead end groove radar special.
Maybe he hates some of the crossovers and feels he has a better chance with a semi-random pattern. That's my theory.
Where is Chris taking the title back to?
Yes, this video is fucking amazing, deserves so many more likes. Also, USA! :D
WOOOOOOOOOW.
SAISHU...CHRIS FOR...RAAAAAAAaAaAaAAAaAaAaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHFFF
Question for you guys. Players 1-3 have their scroll on normal (overhead), and their combo numbers are behind their arrows. Player 4 has his scroll on reverse, and his combo numbers are ABOVE his arrows, partially blocking them.

Mike Rappold eamuse option on konami website

日本/千葉県/海浜幕張駅/幕張メッセ(会場)
how does he get around Japan if he speaks english only
Judge DeathCore both Fungah and Kaze speak Japanese as well as English.
On another note, any ideas where Chris practices? I want so badly to play on an A machine but out here in NC I'm pretty sure we've got nothing. lol
Jerred Miklowcic It's on his twitter I think
He plays at R1 in San Jose I think. If I'm wrong someone correct me
CHRIS4... LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!!!!!!!!
So. Goddamn. EPIC.
그저.. 빛
dead end groove radar is torture
All of the players *CLRED*
why not include the foot cam?
I thought about it, but it was more trouble than it is worth. Their footcams suck anyways, so dark and the panels don't even light up.
Whenever the crowd goes to count them off, what is the last thing everyone is saying? I hear: 3, 2, 1 start off... am I wrong?
They pronounce it as “sutaruto” bc that’s how it’s spelled out in katana
@@bertobazmastr Thank you!
i dont understand why fefemez lost in 3rd song ??
irving devill he may have fc’d, but look at his perfect and great count compared to chris
Didn't o4ma use 1.75 in paranoia revolution?
cool it's fixed
And Emera on the final :3
Next year 7th KACFianl list song
1. Over the Period2. Egoism 4403.?????? New song^^
YASSSSSSSSSSS
There were 4 finalistsand 3 chosen songs. Why didn't the other person get a choice?
The 3 people with picks had the best scores for their region (Japan, USA, Asia) and automatically advanced to the finals. 4 other players also invited to the finals had to compete for the 4th spot and don't get a song pick in the finals.
So Fungah was basically the wild card?
Andrew Blechinger no, the wild card was kaze.573. all of the second place getters competed with the wildcats for a spot in the finals. the winner of the semi finalists was fungah. Only the first place getters get to pick a song so Fungah missed out.
What does covering half the strike zone do? Is that just challenging yourself or does it help in some way?
Fresca/Clubman8 on slower speeds covering half the screen wil help so less arrows on the screen.
Oh wait i just realized you meant half of the receptors on the bottom not the actual screen, to be honest I dont know how it helps. I have the same option on and helps just a little with my games, i dont know why but it just does.
I think the reason players use this option is so they know exactly when to hit he note, as in once the tip of the arrow hits the grey part thats when they step on the arrow to get a marvelous. I dont know if this is right but maybe thats why people use it
Makes sense I suppose, I thought the arrow had to cover the entire receptor to be marvelous. Thanks for the answer
0:28 okay, brosoni.
Nice. Chris won
Y tu Dr.D ?
This is what crack cocaine does to you kids
Just saying Brosonis option is hidden + not sudden + for the first 2 songs, and its both options for egoism
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure he is using Sudden +
It might seem like Hidden + because he is playing on reverse.
Dr. D Gaming yeah hidden plus is for the bottom for reverse and sudden plus for the top for reverse players, then again i doubt too many people will tell the difference unless they use it ingame.
Jaedan Corn I understand how he is using it is like hidden because he is on reverse, but the actual option he is using is called sudden plus.
Dr. D Gaming ok i probably read it wrong on the remy wiki
Oh, fefemz...

of course christ would win. he doesent spend all his time like Fefemz uploading bunch of videos
*RE*E
STEPH CURRY!!! Lol
DDR > PIU
It is known
No offense to anyone but you're wrong. Pump is way better and also much harder, especially in Rank Mode using VJ judgement.

Ahmad Hussain well if you put someone on a game they dont play alot it doesnt matter how good they are at a different game..
Ahmad Hussain who is salty?
Daniel Lee DDR players lol. Everytime they see pump getting any attention, they get butt hurt. Admit it, it's a better game. Better put together, better screen, better speakers, better cab. DDR looks like it's been put together by high school kids. The next release should get rid of the fruity ass announcer lmao.
Ahmad Hussain but its people like you doing the same thing ddr players do so your point sound kinda ironic
Japanese culture v:
three ....two...one...pump...
a no verda :v
american player are the best. why ? from itg :D
Eh Not really, they've always been better at DDR than the Japanese even before ITG came out. World titles in the early 2000s were always won by Americans not by Japanese.
Yup, the likes of Bluemystic, Kevbo, LilQ, Dukamok, etc. dominated the world in DDR
Yep that's why people complained as to why Konami wouldn't invited Americans to KAC. It took Chris's constant world records to finally wake up lol
mrlionX yep but wasnt "good" enough (not enough song choices, bad songs, too short, bad stepchart, couldnt see the arrows clearly, etc...) so ITG came and made the difference :p
I don't know what ITG has done but we're talking about the origin on how Americans are better at DDR than Japanese. Its because we were always one step (no pun intended lol) ahead of them.
