DDRFreak Dictionary modifications

[eyebrowsoffire]

Okay, I've been wanting to make this thread for a while, because I think a lot of improvements could be made on the dictionary. One of the main things I think would be helpful is to have more abbreviations, because that is what I had the most trouble recognizing when I first started. So, I was hoping we could have people make suggestions on what to add. I'll start off with the suggestions from maxer'AA's thread in DDR Chit-chat. (I'm not going to post things that are already in the dictionary, however there are some that I think could use abbreviations)

Noncombo Steps - Steps that stop a combo (Good, Boo, Miss)
Oni-pass - Getting less than 4 noncombo steps (or N.G.'s) on a song, allowing you to pass that song in an Oni
S6R - Using Shuffle, Sudden, Solo, and a speed modifier together when playing a song
6 option - Also known as 6-mod, this is the practice of combining 6 different modifiers together on one song. Devil0n's personal favorite, and a good example: 1.5 Boost Hidden Shuffle Flat Reverse
Full Combo (FC) - Getting the biggest combo possible in a song, therefore hitting every step with either a Great or a Perfect rating
Options - Settings that change the stepchart to the song or change the way the arrows appear (this isn't a very good definition, if someone could come up with a better one I will be very happy)
Modifiers (Mods) - Another name for options
CSFIL - Can't Stop Falling in Love
CSFIL:SM - Can't Stop Falling in Love: Speed Mix
EOTC - End of the Century
EE - Exotic Ethnic
HV:AM - Healing Vision: Angelic Mix
LOM - Legend of Max
PS - Paranoia Survivor
PSM - Paranoia Survivor Max
PSMO - Paranoia Survivor Max on Challenge Mode. The hardest DDR song.
R&P - Rhythm and Police
Jackhammer Steps - A step pattern where one arrow must be hit repeatedly
Machine Gun Steps - A step pattern with two rapidly alternating arrows
Foot Rating - A measurement for the difficulty of a song, ranging from 1 (very easy) to 10 (very very hard) and flashing 10 (very very very hard)
# Footer - Another term for "Foot Rating"

Anything else anyone can think of? I'll add it up here. I hope that these can be implemented at some point.

Yeah, I just posted a bunch that were posted from another thread. I think some of the more common song abbreviations could be useful, but EOTC and EE, that's a little obscure. I see a lot of threads of people saying "whats PSMO?" so I think that a couple of the most often used ones would be good to keep. I think that there should be a lot more abbreviations though, like next to "Black Flag" there should be "(BF)". I remember being so confused at all the abbreviations when I first started, and adding a little thing in parentheses won't take that much space up, so I think it's a good idea.

As for the S6R thing, don't ask me. Even S4R confuses me, I don't even use that terminology at all.

I agree that abbrieviations don't need to be included in the DDR Dictionary on the site as not everyone uses those terms, and most people will write up the whole entire song name if they're cool.

Plus it may confuse people, especially the n00bs, but I see that the intention was quite good really as some people may just create threads in DDR Chit-Chat not knowing and asking people about this kind of thing.

I propose the terms "jack hammer" to be put in to the DDR Dictionary though; a lot of people seem to be using those terms when describing the steps to songs. I see that this makes sense as we have things like gallops in the DDRFreak Dictionary.

Yeah, I thought jackhammers were when you have to hit the repeated step over and over again - best examplified in Can't Stop Falling In Love (Speed Mix) Heavy/Maniac.

Machine Gun Steps -V Oni is a good example.

[edit] You do know that jackhammers and machine gun steps are supposedly different entries in the dictionary as they're different terms with different meanings right? Oh and what the flying fuck is S6R? What the shit!

This would be how I would describe it, but it may not be "correct" or accurate as other people may dispute it as it's not really great or anything.

Machine Gun Steps - A repeating stream of 1/16 notes and sometimes 1/32 notes. They usually go from one arrow to the next in a repeated fast action during a song. Machine gun steps are best examplified in V Oni and My Sweet Darlin' on Heavy.
