like a whole damn week ago I said I'd post some stuff I'd been working on, and here's some stuff! First a bit about me: I play DDR on a pad with no bar, and create charts that are designed for big movements that pull your whole body around. So my charts are gonna have a classic DDR feel, but with an emphasis on ergonomic movement. I try to be very clear in terms of guiding the player, and only rarely do patterns where you don't alternate feet, but on my heavy charts I use crossovers a fair bit. When I publish charts (soon!) I will include lower difficulties as well, and crossovers will only be present in heavy (actually a lot of what I've written, the normal and heavy charts have similar numbers of steps and are mainly differentiated by the complexity of the patterns). For now though, I'll just be posting videos of the hard versions. (poorly-lighted, sorry!) footcam included with videos in case anyone is interested in how I envision these charts being played.

Anyway here's a chart for Demons and the Dead that I put together probably about a year ago. Video from Project Diva F 2nd. Edited the chart down a bit, which I think is often necessary trying to make decent DDR charts from vocaloid songs, but it still runs long at 2:47. I love charting swing music, and this has been one of my favorites for it, since it's a rather sinister song, which feels like it gives me permission to be a little mean with the steps. So steps alternate 1-2-1-2 in places, and gallop in other places, and put you through your paces. I am particularly proud of the nasty little bit at 2:05. Enjoy!
