Fec = Aaa?

The topic pretty much says it all, does a full excellent combo equal an AAA in DDR?

The reason I asked is because i unpacked my itg disk and added some new songs that I normally don't get a chance to play, and I'm wondering what my scores would be like in DDR.

I play mostly home versions, and I can confidently say that it is easier to get a Great on a DDR home version than a Great on ITG. Which means that if you're comparing the arcade versions, a FEC is quite a bit easier to get than a AAA.

So um, is it bad that awhile ago I was watching Family Guy, and when Quagmire came on, I thought something to the effect of "Whoa, It's AA Bob!" (I don't remember if the exact thought was "It's AA Bob" or "It's AA Bob's avatar", but I don't think it matters in this case)?

It is USUALLY not true. However, if you SDE a song, you essentially AAA'd.

A better way to say you "AAA'd" something is to FEC *** it. While there is no true perfect comparison, that is a pretty good way to say you AAA'd it.

Note the word essentially. If you have the "skill" to SDE a song, then you have the "skill" to AAA it. And yes, I do play enough dance games to know the timing issues.

Generally speaking, except for the highest and lowest grade, I don't bother comparing DDR and ITG grades mainly because of the difference in letter grades. (7 DDR grades (E,D,C,B,A,AA,AAA) VS ITG's 18 grades(F,D,C-,C,C+,B-,B,B+,A-,A,A+,S-,S,S+,*,**,***,****))

An FEC can't be a AAA, because technically an excellent is between a perfect and a great, so you could never hit a perfect if you got an excellent, however you might get really close. I think the more important issue is whether or not a tri-star is a AAA, b/c you can get a miss but still get a tri-star in itg.

ITG ist easier to time... its just synched better unlike ddr.

obviously...

an SDE does not = AAA thats not even close.

An SDE probably would considering that you have so few excellents they were most likely closer to perfects than greats.

This isn't always necessarily true, but I'd say that *** usually equals a AAA
