Hmm... IDK if I like the new changes. Why do they keep lowering the importance of steps and who are these changes likely to benefit?
Personally, I think Takahashi will be at a disadvantage since steps are his forte. I'm still pissed that they lowered the number of required step sequences. They're my favorite part.
well, i think that they are reducing the importance of steps as a function of demonstrating how many turns you can do and increasing the importance of steps as part of the program.
for example, Chan got a bunch of extra points for the level 4 and a higher goe scale which allowed him to get 6 pts for his steps vs. 3 for Takahashi and Kozuka in the SP. I don't really see Chan's steps as doubly better even though he may demonstrate more difficulty according to the rules.
ah, well that was just my impression, i may not be right, but i think basically it's easier to get a level 4 now because you only have to do turns in one direction and don't have to use your upper body as much now.
And the reward is also less. like daisuke and pchan got about the same goe scores, but because pchan's step sequence was a higher level he got an extra point even though their execution was equal. Now, they would both get the same GoE. i think that's a good change, because just because you do a higher level step sequence it doesn't mean it's "better." Or at least that's what I think now that Rachael has a level 4 sequence to her name, but I do wish they had raised the base value of it as well. With just .60 points over a level 3 sequence, there definitely is no point.

I am happy they're cracking down on the Death Spirals though. It's becoming the forgotten element.
