I didn’t know I needed a top 15 impersonation talking about ddr stepcharts but I guess I did Also “This song debuted in the original beatmania meaning it sounds like a midi track” had me rolling

[@nehkoo]

i laughed too much at the chris4life bit and "the developers were on that good crack when they wrote this chart"

[@davidhunter2824]

I did too🤣🤣

Valkyrie Dimension has now been AAAd as of Feb 2020

[@UnluckyUrsine]

The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger Is someone's foot fungus But as it turns out That might be what you get

Valkyrie Dimension: It has been finally AAAed and FCed by o4ma, what a time to be alive!

that last one terrifies me. happy halloween everyone

Right? I thought I accidentally clicked on the wrong video for a second.

[@alecrutz6979]

you forgot something about Bag, the song is actually 130 bpm, but they inexplicably halved the bpm to 65. had the bpm actually been the proper 130 bpm, it would have been entirely quantized to 12th notes, which would have been less broken. So yeah, that chart is a fault of sheer stupidity on konami's part

[@extraordiberry]

I'm not sure that this is entirely accurate; to the best of my understanding, the lack of 12th quantization would have still existed, but its effects would have been far less pronounced had the BPM been 130. So it would still have been janky and offbeat, but in a way more like Burning Heat (3-Option Mix).

[@Smqll_Fry]

"this song does not love it when you 1 2 step" had me dead 💀

[@SpiritSquadMTG]

I literally taught my niece how to play 1, 2, Step by teaching her how to do the 1-2-Step. It makes perfect sense if you're interacting with 8-year-olds. But hard agree on Dead End and Uh La La being the hottest of garbage.

[@BinaryHedgehog1]

There is now an official, intentional hand, but it’s done through a quirk of the engine. Megalovania was added to DDR A3 and the ESP includes a Freeze that ends at the same time as a jump occurs. This was likely intentional as the chart is a massive troll in line with the source material.

[@somebodytotallynottelling4584]

There are actually two more instances of hands in the Ultramix series for North America! In Ultramix 2, the Challenge chart of "echo !mage - Skulk" has a two bracketable jumps during a freeze arrow near the start. In Ultramix 3, the Expert chart of "901(Clay) - The Cat In The Moon" has an overlapping freeze arrow at the end.

[@zachl1226]

That Chills voice got me hysterical! XD

[@TrueLifeDemi]

i feel like its the same person, i don't know but if it is LOL

[@polypolar715]

I think the break in B4U (“Voltage” Special) is to not increase the Stream as much and let the Voltage look bigger on the groove radar

[@scottroiter]

2/5, not enough degrassi references EDIT: ok this is 7 months later but I just looked at the chart for Nu Flow from Dancing Stage Unleashed, and I think that deserves to be on here. Using 8ths instead of 12ths is an auto-nom.

[@ace4evr]

Half of the people that step charts arent musicians, which allowed for half of these atrocities to exist

[@TheOctoJon]

to be fair, most of these rhythms could be written with nested tupplets, and rests. maybe they were just too advanced :p

[@achan1058]

The real question, and one that I could never get the answer to, are they good players? For Pump It Up, the step artists are credited. They range from "very good" to "best player in the world" (Fefemz), as seen in the Stepper's Championship.

[@Logan912]

That’s also a problem with a lot of GH/RB/CH customs. It annoys me when there are descending notes when the melody is clearly ascending and when they use the same “chords” in the chart when the guitar is clearly playing through different chords.

[@michaelhammond485]

Nice video. Love your commentary. Can I add that there's a song called GORGEOUS 2012 in Supernova, where the level for basic is a 5 footer, but the chart is about the same as the beginner level. Also the song in Extreme called Funk Boogie has a 5 footer in standard, but it's a way more easier chart than in light, which is a 4 footer.

[@ChoboUnjeon]

5:03 "memorizing the fast section" FEFEMZ: **mashes both fast sections and somehow gets a better score than someone actually reading it**

[@mariyannuism]

I've watched this video so many times that it's etched on my mind

[@TuucciZ]

Make a video about the top 15 mysteries solved by 4chan, I'm sure people would love your speaking style in that video!

[@Miligram573]

14:53 "nearly unplayable" Not with that attitude

[@conarcoin]

NINETEEN NOTES?????????

[@conarcoin]

how did that chart get approved this is so funny

[@Cardmaster12]

didn't even mention how offsync unreal is also fun fact another instance of their being 3 notes at once officially existed once, in Spanish snowy dance EDP, the eventually fixed it though

[@alecrutz6979]

can you link that one here?

[@rontom3405]

thank you chills for the DDR list !

[@meatspectre6208]

Have you thought about doing a Top 15 Best (or your personal favorite) Stepcharts video as a companion to this one? I feel like seeing them back to back would really emphasize how good the best and how bad the worst charts are.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

Seeing the broken Bag chart coming back as a Challenge chart in X2 is kind of cool imo.

All I could hear is : "burger king foot lettuce"

[@ZenokweiAka]

And 20 months later, Chris4Life managed to MFC Healing D Vision while keeping the original chart as is. Yeah he kept the octuple crossover.

[@Milktube]

You have to keep the original chart authentic. Sure you can have a good score on shuffle or mirror, but how well can you do on the real chart is the question for world records and competitions.

[@hnkul702]

​@@MilktubeExcept you don't have to do that even at KAC, let alone world records. The only person who would willingly play DEGRS without a turn mod at KAC is FEFEMZ.

[@unhappyrefrain]

@@hnkul702yoshimiz also did it in the KAC final four in 2013! despite everyone else using turn/shuffle mods, he did the full crossover. came out with the losing score against gahou but mad respect for him

Playing these songs on pads while stepping on burger king foot lettuce won't make these charts any better anyway

An honorable mention should go to Egoism Challenge. Whoever made that stepchart must have high on speed.

[@ddrdanganvloger2187]

You know, you’re not wrong.

[@T1MB05L1C3]

The CSP chart isn’t too bad, for a 19. I don’t think it’s worse than the ones on this list, even then, there are worse charts than egoism CSP that could be honorable mentions. The CDP chart, however, is a different story

[@majo0303]

I thought you were Chills changing into a gaming channel. Wth?! Haha! Nice list btw

[@cbozlol]

This is a genre mixup i didnt expect ever but i am SO happy exists.

[@Darmani2MB]

Good video. Your voice makes me want to punch the guy that charted Max 300 X-Special

[@SMTDDR]

LOL wow this video is hilarious. Also, I always assumed the dev-mode of DDR composing the steps wouldn't allow for 3 steps on a single note..... but here we are :)

[@TakeWalker]

Uh La La La was so bad, good call there. Also props for including a Beginner chart, it's especially awful. XD But I will not tolerate a bad word for Ska a go go! You take that back! D:

[@dmk12345]

ska a go go is a weird song name.

[@kiwikarp9509]

I'm a lot more familiar with Pump it Up, so the concept of 3 notes at once being an accident was weird to hear.

#15: damn, those spins look fun af. #9: holy shit, that song is my jam. I legit love that song and the chart (though I admit the empty measure is kind weird). #7: I've played Unreal before, but those jump streams look so damn fun. I'll have to give it another shot for the jump spin shenanigans.

Was the beginning of the script supposed to be a callback to Burger King Foot Lettuce?

[@davchr214]

This list is gonna need an update now that Reiwa CSP is out, lmao

I looks to me that in Horatio challenge, you were just supposed to hit the center panel (or any other inert panel) instead of any arrow in those streams?

Yes it's recycled

Hey, that’s the World Champion @ 13:20 . The footage is taken from a Round One Arcade Place in Eastridge Mall, San Jose CA.

[@ErrorDDR]

It was proven to be false footage from Macromedia Photoshop. Nice try, bud

[@donutdunker7294]

Could you make a part 2 to this? This was a cool video.

[@TheMoonHut]

Man, it's amazing to see the sort of stuff that gets through quality control, some of these feel so blatantly absurd it feels like their inclusion had to be intentional. I am a little surprised this didn't include the chart for cutie chaser that literally had notes placed before the chart stars, so it is literally impossible to perfect for a flaw beyond the player's control. Just...how did nobody notice that before the game released...?

[@justinjaeger1554]

I’m a little bit scared of your voice but great video

[@unhappyrefrain]

as bad as it is, i think 1,2 step bSP was fair to make. as a tween playing hottest party on soft pads in the basement, i entertained 6-10 year olds on MULTIPLE occasions by teaching them how to play DDR. you will not believe how hard it is for children to even clear that song. the game itself was so targeted at kids with "nintendo only" parents so it's no wonder they made something so ridiculously barren

[@lgkidofficial]

You sound like Chill's long lost brother

[@AP-Design]

Man, those charts are trash. Reminds me of how many awful charts there are in DDR. I remember seeing the Dead End GRS for the first time and thought it was so cool to watch people attempt. Looking back, I don’t know what I was thinking.

[@user-fp2uu4nb2t]

Damn... most of the songs of this video are like "I suck at DDR and cant pass easy songs" The only ones I give u a point are Valky, Ngo, Bag and the last one

[@TonyTheTGR]

I didn't hate Unreal, but most of this is pretty valid. If I'm being honest, Unreal feels like an honest successor to Trip Machine Climax. I think I'd put "B" (Challenge) in it's place though because of how much of an obvious, obnoxious meme song it ended up being.

[@qqquasar]

The guy in the video for Dead End Groove Radar Special is CHRS4LFE, right? He has updated that record with only 9 perfects now, and he has stated that the jump jackhammer is possible to full Marvelous. So yeah, it's not edited.
