Foot Meter
The Foot Meter is the scale that has been used to express song difficulty since the original DanceDanceRevolution
game in arcades. The more arrows next to the feet, the harder the song is. The ratings for BASIC, DIFFICULT, EXPERT,
and ONI are always shown. There are no ratings for BEGINNER and EDIT DATA.
Groove Radar
The Groove Radar is a graphical representation of a
song's difficulty based on five attributes. A pentagonal
chart graph illustrates the nature of each song at a glance.
As a general rule, when the overall area increases, the
difficulty of the song increases.
STREAM:
Overall density in the dance step patterns.
CHAOS:
The degree of irregularity/complexity in the
step patterns.
FREEZE:
The number of freeze arrows in the step
patterns.
AIR:
The number of jumps (i.e., player's airtime) in the step patterns.
VOLTAGE:
The degree of maximum density in the dance step patterns.
