Stepchart Etiquette: Avoid massive cut and pasting.
Copying an entire stepchart and pasting it to another but changing a few arrows as shock arrows isn't fun. We've played the charts years ago and we want something new; not a rehash of the old. If the dreaded
Paranoia MAX -Dirty mix- SMM Special Oni didn't teach them something what NOT to do (or even Survivor and Survivor MAX from the DDR Extreme days or D.D.R. OMES Oni), then what will?
For Pluto The First, the song has been released 2 years ago (HP1). The NEW Oni steps were added to DDR X2 and HP3. But... why cut and paste and small re-edit, especially for a boss song?
Proof? Correct me if I am wrong, but take a look at the videos:

If they actually changed the arrows while keeping the arrow timings, it would somewhat be okay if the patterns are fun and different. Cut and Pasting and leaving it nearly untouched and call it a new chart is not okay. You guys are much better than this to do such tactic, am I right?
Bah! I'm too old for this. Just never thought this would happen again. :(
P.S. People need to stop spamming me this on my IM's and emails:

We know it's in HP3, but goddammit. For those who don't know, yes, this is really in the game and no RickRoll joke either. XD
