Recent KAC shit is kind of infuriating and I don't even really consider myself a DDR player. KAC was never really about the best of the best (as evidenced by it's qualifying rules) but there was still something about it being an official Konami run event that gave it a tiny bit of credence. The US DDR scene has shown itself capable of holding extremely hype high quality tournaments, and I genuinely hope they'll continue to do so. Need to figure out some sort of EVO equivalent for dance games that's run by third party and manages to get world-wide talent out. UP^^BEAT was fucking awesome and it'd be great to see more tournaments like that.
