I was just wondering if anyone else has had the chance to play on a X2 arcade machine. An arcade in my area recently got it, and I have to say, it's the best DDR machine I've ever played on. The pad design is 100x better - on a old (extreme) pad, I can't even pass max 300, but I managed to get an A on it on this machine. Also the song choice is amazing too, there's now a bunch of harder songs (13+) for the elite players.

Re: DDR X2
Arent the pads the same as DDRX?
If so, I think it's absolutely terrible, and every DDRX machine Ive played has had god awful timing. I can get an A or paranoia survivor max ONI on supernova 2 and Extreme, but If I manage to pass it on X's terrible pads, Itll give me a D.
Also, some of the song selections are so stupid. Pluto the First is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. And Valkyrie Dimensions.....lol....
DDR SN2 is my favorite machine.... although I like the DDR Extreme pads the most.Last edited by dragonmegaXX; 01-2-2012, 10:13 AM.

Re: DDR X2
All I know is that the DDRX machine here in NYC is by far the worst machine I've ever played on. Ever.Comment

Re: DDR X2
I've never played on a DDR X machine before but I did a bit of research and it seems they improved the X2 cabinet because of the complaints about the X ones. The cabinet is actually about the same quality as an r21 itg. I just passed TLOM with a pretty good score, which I couldn't even come close to on extreme. I dunno, maybe the extreme cab I had just sucked ass, but I can assure you the X2 pads are really good. Comment

Re: DDR X2
Do they look the same as the X pads?Comment

Re: DDR X2
Judging from the low quality images I found on Google images, they seem similar. I can't say for sure though. Comment

Re: DDR X2
They got one at a new D&B here in Massachusetts. The pads are FAR superior to DDRX, but they seem to need constant repairing.
Also, more hard songs = good. The fact that charts like Valkyrie Dimension, Trigger, and New Decade got to quality control = suckassThe above post has a 50% chance of being useless. Potentially. Maybe.
BEST AAAs: WANDERLUST, Pandora, Necropotence, Mourning The Lost, Eradication, Feldschlacht

Re: DDR X2
X2 isn't bad, but DDR has really fallen out of favour since ITG appeared. Some of the songs on X/X2 are great, and there are a handful of interesting charts, but I'm mostly interested by more challenging charts, and Konami seem not to know how to make charts that are hard and fun anymore.
If you do that it'll be the worst decision you've ever made (assuming that the US DDR:X cabs have similar specs to the EU ones).
We only have a handful of DDRX cabs here in the UK, and they're not *awful*, although the pad design is really lame compared to older styles. Love the cab design though!
The downside is that if you upgrade a DDRX to a DDRX2, the hardware of the X can't handle X2 and you get the most godawful problems on the machine. To give an example, I'm a player who can pass 15s on ITG and SDG 10's all day long on DDR, and here's what happens when I play in time to the music on an upgraded DDRX2. It started a little off, and got worse as the song progressed.ITG guru, FFR noob, wants to hug every cat.

Re: DDR X2
Me and one of my friends are going to a namco funscape up in London soon, where it has Euromix, Euromix2, X and X2, we've always wanted to try DDRX/X2. However, these are usually very busy and in poor condition. (there's only a handful of X2's in the UK, most are in london/blackpool/Great Yarmouth, which are the main tourist areas)
All we have down here in Portsmouth is a broken DDR Fusion, A really good euromix 2 (50p for 3 songs, and in great condition) a decent euromix and Crap Supernova (pads suck)
As for the game it self, i've seen lots of the charts and while of some of them look good, it seems that konami suck at making fun hard charts(valkyrie dimension oni is just a joke)
Its also a shame that we will never see a X3 machine, although some of the charts on that look horrid.Comment

Re: DDR X2
Pretty much it depends on whether it is an american cab or a foreign cab. If your X2 cab was made by betson then it is going to suck ass no matter what, but since you seem to be doing good then i can only assume that they somehow managed to get it ported from somewhere. And like 13+ isn't what you might think it is pretty much the old difficulty system just split in half or what not. I am sure Max300 is like considered a 17 or something while Pluto relinquished is an 18 i believe
