After two Japanese releases in a row, Americans finally get a new console mix in DDR EXTREME. And while the mix itself is good, the UI and a lot of other things about it... aren't. Unfortunately, this also spreads to its Challenge (Oni) Courses. Oh and, they misspelled "Marvelous" for some reason.
The Way of LEGEND is not the longest course in the game, but is by far the hardest. And that's due to one thing and one thing only: modifiers. Every song in this course has a modifier, and they range from mildly irritating, to nearly unplayable. Strangely enough, the course starts with the worst modifiers and they get better over time. However, it was still unbearable enough that I recorded myself playing the first four songs in a row with no modifiers and played it back on the side while attempting this. The Legend of Max and V are readable enough so I didn't use it for them.
I really wish I didn't have to resort to "cheating" to get through this course. It's unfortunate that there wasn't a proper gauntlet of the hardest songs in the game, like MAX2's Ultimate 12. ONI DO is the closest there is but it doesn't feature any boss songs. It's also a shame because I think all six of these songs would make a great addition for a gauntlet. Trip Machine Survivor, V, and The Legend of Max are all well-designed charts for what they're trying to accomplish. Looking further, Drop Out, Tsugaru, and Can't Stop Fallin' In Love Speed Mix would be good candidates too. Oh well, we can only imagine what could've been.
Also, if you can do this without looking at a guide or another play, you really are a legend.
Final Score: 5650
