Score Progression: Legend Road

  • Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
  • Two decades ago, a game in the Dance Dance Revolution series implemented a brand new timing judgement into the game, as well as one of the hardest courses ever offered in the 4-panel genre. Players around the world sought interest, and with this, pushed the course to its absolute limit as a result.

    The amount of research put into this video... good lord I am blown away, amazing job. I actually gasped when I saw the screenshot of NNR lmao, so many old memories.
    One minor correction: The picture at 15:37 is not BlueMystic, that's another DDR player named Jonathan Warrick (also went by JonathanDDR/TubaPro1). We played DDR together in the 2003-2005 era and I believe he had the Soul 6 world record at one point in time (the picture shown).

    You probably won't read this, but you should try sometime doing a "short score progressions" video where you cover scores that have interesting but not long enough score histories to make a whole video about them.

    DDR Extreme’s timing windows aren’t actually stricter than modern DDR, it’s just that the polling rate of the pads before DDR A were abysmal. Harder MFCs have been done, such as Prey CSP being MFC’d shortly after it’s release, and it’s an 18. For reference, PSMO is a hard 15.

    @anthonycarella1779 4 года назад +1

    This was a great video. Really impressive how far MegamanX and Chris Chike have taken this course. Up until early 2005, it was still impressive to pass Legend Road; these guys really pushed it to the limits. Extreme had such strict timing too. Every once in a while, I will take a peak at some of the scores people put up and I'm flawed at how much the game has progressed.
    The nostalgia here is real speaking from the early days of DDR on the east coast of the US. There was a whole east coast Legend Road score "war" that wound up happening in the early days of Extreme. I believe some of the first few people to pass Legend Road on the east were White Silence and 123 Kid, which alone set the tone for the scores. Back then there were still probably less than 10-20 people in the US who had the stamina to pass Legend Road. Hard to believe now, but there were people who had top PSMO scores who still couldn't get through this course. Me and Phataxel were some of the first people on the east coast to clear LR. Me and Chris Fyre wound up playing it the most out of everyone in NYC at the time, and we would go back and forth on scores for a while, averaging between 76XX and 77XX. At around the 10:22 mark, you can see my score at 5th on the NNR leaderboard (~Sketch~). When ZZZ came out with his score, 77XX was what most of the top players were getting at the time, and to crack 7800 was just a lot for everyone's understanding of Marvelous timing back then; really impressive. I think JSB sat on his score for a while before actually posting it, and I remember him showing me the picture of his LR score way before he released any proof (he may not have, I stopped following after a while).
    If I remember correctly, I think there was a lot of controversy surrounding scores coming out of Colombia around 2004 or so. I think a couple players were posting 78XX or 79XX scores with blurry pictures, and I think the community at the time just didn't believe it to be true. Probably not worth bringing up in this video as a whole, but back then it was big drama.
    I think that this video also speaks volumes in terms of the quality of the earlier DDR mixes, and especially Extreme. It really has stood the test of time. If you were to boast about Extreme in 2006-2011, you just sounded like an old fart who didn't want to let go of the past. But it seems like the interest in this mix has popped back up again. Whatever recipe Konami had back then for making their DDR mixes, they were really onto something. Every mix was just better than the last. 5th mix, 6th Mix/Max, 7th Mix/Max 2, and then finally Extreme just had this... feeling.
    What a time to play DDR. Great video. Thanks for making!

Also would've been cool to see the doubles progression of Legend Road, but I bet records are scarce there. Great vid btw, score progression videos always show your skill as a content creator. 👏
