WEIRD Just Dance Inconsistencies

[@JoeMama-rh8bo]

I’ve always liked to think that the gloves aren’t really there in the just dance universe and are put there for our convenience

[@huskerwhisker]

that's how i interpret it too lol

[@Just.Jasper]

@JoeMama-rh8bo ooo I never saw it like that!

[@Multi-A]

Really thats pretty much what i believe too. And if the coach has a glove that isnt just solid color but actually part of the outfit like in Boys a liar or sweet but psycho it might be really there but just a different color in universe.

[@crimsonduck]

SOME OF THESE ACTUALLY MAKES GOOD POINTS

[@jonassardinha4373]

Two things you mentioned have explanations - About Till the World Ends being a cover, it was due to the "Free Britney" movement, since at the time, Britney was overcontrolled by her father. Due to that, her songs couldn't be licensed and Ubisoft had to cover the song. - About the "hell" censorship, they usually censor it when used as a synonym for the F word, but not when used as the opposite of heaven, although there are expections (Example: in Could You Be Loved, hell is censored despite being used as the opposite of heaven, and in Funplex, it's not censored despite being used as a synonym for the F word)

[@Gridkeeperr]

I agree with the fact hell is not inconsistent based on your reasons being exactly my thoughts. The free Britney movement made a lot of sense, I am happy they could license her songs like Toxic and Gimme More.

[@Just.Jasper]

@jonassardinha4373 yeah I understand your points and I'm so happy that she's free! The hell thing makes sense but I will never get over it ngl, it feels so random 😭

[@hadrianadrian]

Radio stations usually play Kill Bill with Kill censored, even when Kill is in the title.

[@haz0816]

4:35 In older games, the Difficulty and Effort used to be the same but were separated in future games. The Difficulty rating now refers to how hard it is to memorize the dance moves while Effort refers to how much energy is needed to perform the entire routine. A notable example is Part Of Me by Katy Perry where it used to be an Extreme routine but then became an Easy routine with an Intense Effort rating on JDU and JD+.

[@SunscreenEater_andProud]

1:17 some song don't have enough moves for 13333, for example on Rock n' Roll ( Will take you to the mountain) you can only get 13218 but in Maneater you can get 13333(both are in the same game)

[@Just.Jasper]

@SunscreenEater_andProud oh huh that's very interesting. I didn't know that the max score depended on song 🤔

[@Jessica_25]

@@Just.Jasper I don’t think it does. I have played songs perfectly and not gotten 13,333 on JD+ while others have gotten 13,333 on the leaderboard. I think there are many inconsistencies like this in scoring.

[@Luis5779]

@@Just.Jasper it doesn't, Rock N Roll is just very broken tracking, Maneater is very good though

[@Donodile]

My best guess is the accuracy of moves being hit and potentially combos. Before anyone fights me, no I do not know if this is true, I'm just going off of my experience. I did a run with 3 supers at the start and got a 13184, then another with a good and super at two points to only to get 13146.

[@GEAnjoa]

I think you're over thinking the gloves one... They are literally just to make it easier to see which one is the right hand...😅

[@Just.Jasper]

@GEAnjoa oh I know that it's for our convenience when playing, I just find it fun to think about in terms of the jd world

[@cneale9431]

iirc, the Don't Stop Me Now coach has also been referred to inconsistently as either The Showman or Mr Fahrenheit (I prefer Mr Fahrenheit to be honest)

[@Just.Jasper]

@cneale9431 omg yeah I didn't think about that one! I prefer Mr Fahrenheit too because it ties him closer to don't stop me now, and I love that song 🐼💙

[@Beines]

Moves Like Jagger makes sense because Christina is a feature, same as feel this moment. So I guess the issue is her solo songs

[@Just.Jasper]

@Beines yeah, I just find it very funny that she has a covered and non covered song in the same game lol

[@GrayGalaxyRealm]

The gloves/colored hands are to show which hand your controller or phone should be held in, and it's also the only hand that you get points/exp(?) (like your score to go up). So say a coach has a colored glove on their right hand, then the controller or phone should be in that hand and if you don't move that hand or the hand that has controller or phone it in you won't get any points/exp. On dances you'll get like (for example) a "Perfect!" If you move this specific hand at the correct time, speed, etc. But when the move repeats with the other hand you don't anything bc the game isn't counting for that hand, only for the gloved hand. The gloves with nails are probably just for aesthetic/to match the character's costume. Most likely glued on nails, nail gloves, or just nails under the glove. And they are bright colors to make it stand out. I hope this makes sense. Idk this all for sure but it's something I have noticed with the games mechanics so I feel that this makes the most sense. Hope it helps! /gen

Actually in Just Dance 3, the pointer sisters had a covered song and a non-covered song in the same game. With it being “Jump (for my love)” and “Im so excited” so it wasn’t the only time an artist has a covered and non-covered song in the same game.

[@Just.Jasper]

@jessea3270 ohhh thats a very good point! I feel like the situation is a bit different, i think they chose a cover of jump for my love because they wanted a more pop sounding version. Meanwhile with ain't no other man I think they simply couldn't get the rights lol 🐼💙

Im pretty sure they made Danceverses be one planet where multiple maps with similar themes take place but whenever they show a danceverse planet in map backgrounds like Cant stop the feeling, or most offensively in Murder on the dancefloor they use what i call "little prince logic" - basically to represent the planet and make it easily recognizable instead of having canon realistic celestal bodies they style the planet like a map and reference the map. In Murder on the Dancefloor there's a planet that is supposed to be referencing You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real). But we all know Scarlet's Palace where that map takes place is a building from/in Dancity where multiple other maps have taken place already. So it cannot be its own planet. Therefore the planet show is the Dancity Danceverse. It's the thing of using a part to represent the whole - like when saying "the sun shines down on the roofs" when talking about a city. This is really frustrating because there have been maps in which we see realistic celestial bodies, like the earth in Only You, or the two proto planets in Wasabi Classic...

[@Just.Jasper]

@Multi-A hmmm it's very odd for sure. I've thought about it for awhile and I could never tell how it was all supposed to work out lol. The beach summer and vampires trailer doesn't lessen my confusion either since the sign says "welcome to sun horizon" like if it's a country/state rather than an entire planet lol 😭

[@Multi-A]

@@Just.Jasper you knoww... sun horizon Dancity, Carnivallium, Winterhaven and arguably even Westerra, and Melosia and Eternyx could all exist on one singular planet. Winterhaven is in the north westerra is at the equator, Dancity is uh somewhere on the nothern hemisphere, sun horison is more near the equator, probably between Dancity and Westerra, Eternyx is its own continent maybe with melosia near it. Cyberfunk and Wacky Groove make sense to be their own planets as the maps for each respectively vary greatly in locations and it makes a lot of sense for there to be the alien planet and the futuristic planet who has much much more technology than "the earth equivalent" and floworld is obviously another planet too for the gods to reside on. But alas we canonically have multiple planets which would also arguably muddy the borders of which dance verse is which? Like... can Dancity not have beaches, winter, or amusement parks? How much Ridery can be in a city before it turns out to be carnivallium and how wacky can a city be to not be from Wacky Groove. And ofc every planet has its own colder regions too so what counts as winterhaven and what does "summer" look like in winterhaven. Im also interested in the settling history of the danceverses which planets had natives and how did they start to mingle. Speaking of time... there is the angle that danceverse have timelines meaning that westerra had a ye-haw period and THEN a mad max apocalypse period. Dancity had 20's and retro and modernity eras and who is to say Cyberfunk isn't future dancity. Melosia realms could have been the ancient civilisation times of Dancity. And Eternyx is simply a dark future instead. Also we dont know if portals are purely locational or if they can be time based, meaning all the Just Dancers don't neccesarily have to be from the same time period. And as we all know time travel can fuck up stories a Whooooole lot.

[@Luis5779]

About the scoring, when you get a perfect, it's not going to give you the same quantity of points. I never got a 13333 but got closer, it really depends on how you play the song. However there's another inconsistent in this, there's a video of an all perfects for Scream And Shout on KZbin but the person got one super and still got 13333. The scoring on this game is really confusing sometimes. 😂

[@Jessica_25]

I have literally played challenge mode against others on the leaderboard and gotten less mistakes than them, but still didn’t get a higher score. The inconsistencies are too real in the scoring and it can be annoying, but at the end of the day, there’s not too much that can be done to rectify this anyway.

[@Luis5779]

@@Jessica_25 the thing is, you need to find tips, if you don't score high enough or if the tracking of the song is awful, there will be always tips to help get a higher score. (Like holding the joycon/phone in a different way, or dancing in a smooth or in a precise way)

[@corinneeaglebridge]

⁠@@Jessica_25My honest guess is that they might count perfect-streaks? That way, if your perfects are more spread out over the song and are broken up by supers/goods/oks/etc, you might still get less points than someone who had a longer streak of perfects, even if they didn’t get more perfects than you overall

[@Jessica_25]

@@corinneeaglebridge So they already confirmed that they do this, but this still doesn’t explain how one person getting all Perfects can have a worse score than someone else who has one OK, Good, or Super (which has actually happened to me). I would venture that something that someone else wrote in the comments is probably true in that not all Perfects are rated the same. Most probably there is a precision to them and if you don’t hit the move exactly as they were expecting, your score is worse arbitrarily because in theory you should’ve gotten a 13,333.

[@Just.Jasper]

@Luis5779 that is so weird. I wish they would make it less confusing because I would have atleast ONE 13333 by now... that person is so lucky for being about to get a super and still score that highly lol

[@courtneyevie]

one inconsistency that's always bothered me in just dance is their inconsistency with guest rappers, and rappers in general. cardi b is included on finesse, wiz khalifa is cut from payphone, snoop dogg is included on everything except stuck on a feeling, ludacris is cut from yeah while lil jon's still on the song, kendrick lamar is included on all the stars but cut from don't wanna know, sean paul is included, young thug is cut, nicki minaj is included, kanye's cut (not gonna blame them for that one now but back in 2012?), iggy azalea's included, t.i. is cut, becky g's included, dababy's cut, there is zero consistency with this no matter the year.

[@Just.Jasper]

@courtneyevie oooo this is a very interesting observation! I tend to listen to versions of songs without the rapper so I wouldn't have been able to point out most of these or give a good reason as to why they get cut out. Maybe some rap features are too inappropriate so they go the easy route and cut them out?

[@kkrocks3485]

Yeah I've been wondering about the scoring thing for a while now because on Just Dance+ I have all perfects on Papaouti but my score is only in the 13200 range. Make it make sense Just Dance!

[@malachiharvin2614]

I got 13318

[@Just.Jasper]

@kkrocks3485 yeah it can feel very disappointing to see your final score after you get full perfects. Because it's very impressive to score that well on some songs so we deserve to see our names with 13333 on the leaderboard lol

[@DancingBros-kh6fk]

The scoring thing is a mystery for me as well. I got all perfects on Monster Mash and Acceptable in the 80s but got a lower score then when I got 1 or 2 supers on them. It really is confusing.

[@Just.Jasper]

@DancingBros-kh6fk for real it's so weird lol. I can get an okay or good at times too and somehow score better than when I got a super or two 🤔

[@Riceyricericeyay]

With Till the World Ends, it’s probably because of the Free Britney Movement or the licensing costs, also they may of not been given the license?

[@Pasteilights]

7:02 that can be explained in think! Certain songs share danceverses with others. For example Good 4 u, Thank u Next, Vampire, Hit me baby one more time, (i think, this is how we do” aswell) and hollaback girl are all in the same universe despite being different songs. They take place at 2 different schools but still in the same danceverse canonically I do hope they expand on it further and explain with songs belong to what universe

[@scottegbert9575]

Can add Exes/Hot For Me in this as well.

[@ElPato8]

The score depends of various things like the perfect streak or if you are playing in multiplayer. If you olay multiplayer you will always get a brtter score

[@greycabigas8044]

I'm so confused I was like what is *The Girly Team* and I didn't know they are from Just Dance like Wanko Ni Mero Mero. They deserve better tho.

[@Just.Jasper]

@greycabigas8044 The Girly Team is so iconic! If I see a just dance cover made by them, I won't be as sad about it as others lol

[@Anton_AKAO]

There appears "Perfect" if your move score (0 - 100) is over a certain point, around 75 to 90 (cant remember) If you keep getting very high move scores then you will get 13333. Thats why only a few people on jd23 and jd24 got it.

[@yodel7781]

The gloves are an interesting topic. In my mind, because the Danceverses are an actual universe, the gloves are something the Danceverse people believe in. It brings them luck, they think they dance better and more powerful with it, maybe they believe in a god and the glove is said to bring more power through the god. That's why almost everyone, especially the main dancers in one map, wear one on their left hand. It's still odd tho that the non danceable people in a map don't wear one then, it's an inconstistency that is inexplicable and I wish JD would have paid attention to it because I like the idea of a world and story behind JD. But they sadly don't pay attention to a lot of things. It's also odd that Sara instantly had one when she turned into a Dancer. In my story, she didn’t had one first and got it as a present by her friends. I wish JD would have shown such details, that's possible even without voice recordings.

[@Just.Jasper]

@yodel7781 oooo that's actually a very interesting take that I hadn't thought of before! You're very creative and I like where you went with it. It bugs me that returning coaches are missing their gloves though lol 🤔

[@yodel7781]

@@Just.Jasper Yeah that bugs me too, I wish JD would pay attention to this 👀

[@Multi-A]

I think the gloves started off as a sort of branding after the first Just Dance game and became a stapel. It could also be to help with tracking and paking a score file. Notice that the glove is always meant to show which hand you are supposed to hold the controller in, even v.i.p. coaches that aren't stylized as just dance characters have gloves. There were even a few switch exlusive songs that used two controllers so the coaches actually had two gloves to tell you which controler is in which hand! Think of it like the sims plumbob, which is basically just a stylized ui element to show the player where the character they are currently controling is in the world. The glove is pretty much the same, signalling who in the map is a playable coach and also could be used to make it easy to reference the pictos when playing a multi coach map. I feel like usually the pictos and the glove color match for their respective coach. The gloves might not be canonically part of a coaches costume but seperate from it, if they arent obviously part of the outfit.

[@yodel7781]

@@Multi-A I know that the gloves are for the hand your controller is in, everyone knows that. That's the reason for the glove. I just searched for a reason for the glove IN UNIVERSE. For the story. And I think the idea that it's like a lucky charm is nice.

By the way, Till The Worlds Ends was a cover because in those years there were some trouble between Britney and her scandal of being controlled by his family or something like that. I think that by the time this issue happened, Ubisoft had already made the map for JD21 and ended up adding it with a cover. That's also probably why JD22 didn't include any Britney song.
