#StepManiaX
Vincent Sparks#StepManiaX (in, again, my novice opinion) seems to be for the technical crowd. There's no music video playing behind the scrolling arrows like on the other two, and it shows EARLY/LATE above an arrow, plus a little checkmark or warning symbol to show whether you released a hold on time.
The emphasis is very much on the scoring and there aren't many frills beyond that. It does have really good music, though -- techno remixes of several songs that work perfectly in the DDR format. I can't decide whether I like its rhythm-game-specific remixes of songs I know or PIU's kpop more.
Another thing I notice is I think the pads have springs under them. They kinda bounce your foot back up if you tap them as opposed to stomp. Maybe the technical crowd demands this; I'm not sure. Definitely makes for an interesting experience. I wont' say it's good or bad -- I would not like it if Pump It Up added these -- but it does make it more fun.
Just got home after two hours from an arcade where I got to play a bunch of dancing rhythm games back to back. There's a surprising variety of such and the arcade had them all so I got to copare and contrast them.
The big three are #DDR / #DanceDanceRevolution, #PumpItUp, and #StepManiaX. They're all pretty similar in basic concept -- four or five pads on the floor that you have to step on, on beat to a J/Kpop song, and a bar that you can lean on to help you do that -- but surprisingly different in everything but that.
There's also #DanceRushStardom which is completely different and doing its own thing and which I cannot figure out how to play.
I have thoughts on them all 🡇
(I'd like to preface this by saying I'm not particularly _good_ at any of the games in question. I play sevens on DDR, fives on PIU, and Easy Plus on SMX, which I played for the first time today. This is very much a novice's perspective.)
(1/6)
GarrettFor the time being my #StepManiaX world rank is 666. 😈 Maybe one day I'll make it into the top 500, but I'm happy with this.

I think I forgot to post this full combo from a week ago. I enjoy this chart, but it's exhausting. 😅
