I don't play PIU Pro :< It's a westernized version of what PIU is... the music is nothing like the Korean version and the engine runs on Stepmania 4. Here at the local arcade we have 2 machines, an NX Absolute and an NX2. We're kinda behind on releases, since Fiesta EX has been released already and before that there was Fiesta.
Anyway, the difficulty is different, since PIU Pro rates songs in a 15* scale and PIU rates songs in a 20*+ scale. For example, I can play 14* and 15* like Hi-Bi or Fly getting Bs or Cs:

Ladders are those Down-Left, Up-Left, Middle, Up-Right, Down-Right streams in different directions.
Well to be fair, ~1/3 of the songs in Pump Pro are from the original games, and I play it cause its the only Pump machine in my area that I'm aware of. Cool that you have 2 machines of the same game, it must be pretty popular where you are!
And thanks for clarifying the difficulty and patterns =). And I'm terrible at patterns myself; crossovers and streams are definitely much harder in Pump than ITG/DDR lol.
Tay Wrote:DDR and Stepmania player here, DDR is the only one for me none of the ITG or PIU crap. I recently bought a USB dance pad, but it's back in NC waiting for mom to ship it back to me here in Texas. Love rhythm games so much, always wanted to get into BeatMania but it's so much harder. '
I played StepMania online with Luchlove(Rob) a few times, he's really good.
Any reason you don't like ITG or PIU? And music games are awesome; hope you enjoy playing on your USB pad =). And oh man Beatmania looks sooooo ridiculous haha, maybe I'll play it after I become good at ITG lols

If you play more I'm sure you'll get better =)
