I find ITG doubles to be very hard. So hard that I manage to fail it on Medium mode.

I made that original post in reference to singles mode only. The songs I was thinking of were Pump Me Amadeus, Solitary 2, Beat of the War 2 (17, but overrated I think), and maybe something else that I don't recall offhand, and it was solely on basis of stamina exertion on both (though admittedly I haven't played ITG in a long time, and my stamina has probably increased since then (I hope)). Though, a definitive number might be hard to define in PIU, since they seem to have the misguided idea that crossovers are easy and drills are hard.

I don't find a problem with any of the double step charts on ITG2 except for Vertex^2. Other than that song, all of them go quit nicely with the beat or are pretty fun. Though the 2nd on my list of hated step charts has to be Renaissance.

Some may be pretty hard or stamina intensive, they are more fun than the singles counter parts.

One thing i have just realized is that the new person in charge of making the ITG2 step charts really went crazy and tried to copy alot of pump stlye charts with keeping one foot on each pad for songs. I actually enjoy this alot and hope they continue making charts like this! as for timing windows i find itg to be very similar to itg's i don't know why but i can FA very well.

XXXPlizit made the Land of the Rising Sun expert steps, if I recall correctly (ITG3 beta).

there is no way that in any dance game doubles is always harder then singles, In fact in most doubles games there seems to be alot less stream because of the fact that you are moving back and forth across the pads. i mean even look at piu, check out the song what do you really want? by crash it's crazy singles is much freaking harder then it's doubles nightmare. And in my eyes for ITG doubles a 9 rated doubles chart is just as hard as a 9 rated singles. while majority of pump seems to be hardest on doubles ITG always seems to have the hardest songs on singles, however i would like that to change in the future and save the really hard ratings for doubles like pump i think that would be cool.

A lot of the charts on doubles for ITG are either harder than their counterparts or easier than their counterparts.

ie.) Xuxa expert on singles is an 11; on doubles it's a 9, etc.

SO V2 seems to be everyones choice for the hardest chart? what is it rated a 13? and are there any other 13 doubles?

Tyrgannus · Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 12:42 pm Post subject:

!, Energizer, and V2 are all 13's on double.
Now to address your next question

Why is V2 doubles a 13?

You want my opinion? I think it is a 13 because no one song in ITG has been rated a 14 yet. (Note I said one song, I am well aware there is a 14 block marathon) V2 has twisty, stretchy, and all around odd footwork, at a fairly fast speed with jumps thrown in. This in and of itself is only hard, but coupled with the fact that the speedup at the end almost forces you to use a lower speedmod makes this chart seemingly impossible for some player.

And let's talk about that speedup. Unlike the original Vertex, the speedup in V2, both singles and doubles, actually is plain hard on foot DESPITE the the scroll speed. The scroll is just icing on the already formidable cake. Crazy streams with jumps at essentially the spped of 16ths at 175........in other words Destiny runs.

Very twisty jump Destiny runs........scrolling at 555

Yeah, I believe the reason it is rated 13 is because there aren't any 14's. Both ! and Energizer doubles are rated 13, yet they don't hold a candle to V2, which is a doubles 14 in my book
