How do I get an 'A' in DDR Ultramix???

[jeffreyjrose]

Topic says it all. Do I have to get all perfects or something...

[bignick]

I have never gotten one.

Hit all the steps correctly and with the right timing.

[jeffreyjrose]

I know... the best that I can get is a 'B' on a few of the slower songs... and even in those, I have like 60 perfects, 35 greats, and less than 5 of each of the rest. I was just trying to figure out if 'A' exists, lol.

[jeffreyjrose]

WSB...




lol, I figured that much!

to get an A rating, you have to pretty much have a continuous combo for the entire song. If you get a single "good" on any step, you get an automatic B

Thanks for the tip, Alongx!!!

Is Ultramix really that hard? o_O

I've gotten AA's on a bunch of the songs in Max 1 & 2

Even got my first AAA the other day :D

I haven't played that much yet, so truthfully I couldn't tell you. Plus I have a soft mat on carpet that doesn't always register my steps. BTW, congrats on the first AAA!!!

Ultramix is only "hard" because the 'perfect' window is very small, especially for freezes. You need to be super exact to get those perfects. Like you, I have no problems in Max or Max 2. Congrats on your AAA! :)

To the OP = different versions of DDR have different ways of scoring. Perfects, Greats, etc are worth a different number of points. To get an A, like someone said, you generally have to get close to a full combo and mostly perfects. AA's are usually full combo and mostly perfects. I've gotten 1 good and mostly perfects, and still gotten a AA.

There are a variety of forums and sites that explain how the scoring works in the arcades and home versions.

Just get as many perfects as possible and try to keep your combo (no easy task on Ultramix). Have fun!

Best non-metal one I've found so far, and I've tried a bunch. Never misses!!!

Congrats on your AAA! :)

Thank you both! Though it was on light mode, so I suppose it's not THAT brag-worthy ^_^;;;

I'm getting lots of AA's on standard mode now though....

Heavy mode will take some time :shock:
