DDR Scoring Questions…

[Aka-chan]

I play DDR Ultramix 2 for X Box, and I’m not that good, so when I can get a high score for whatever the level, I’m pretty happy. The problem is, sometimes the game won’t count it. I’ve tried switching mats, getting that A or whatever several times, and sometimes it still won’t record it. On Dam Dariram, I managed to pull an A on standard level, and it counted, but when I got a B the next time, the game saved over and said the B was the high score. I’ve gotten three A’s since and none of them have appeared to count. It’s a bit frustrating; does anyone else have this problem or know how to avoid it? This is the second song with which I've had this problem.

While I don't have Ultramix, that sounds like it's just an inherent game problem, like how on Extreme you can't turn off the corner arrows. If you want, there should be a way to go into the Records screen and just delete that letter. Then, you can replay it and get an A and it should record it.

Another problem could be your total score. I'm not sure how it tracks the score on Ultramix, but if Ultramix gives the grade according to your total overall score for a song, then that could have been why. Like, for instance, are you getting a full combo on the song? If not then, it's taking your misses away from the score and counting your Perfects and Greats. So, on your B, you could have had no misses and a bunch of greats and not very many Perfects and that would have given you a high B, however, if on your A rankings you could be missing a few steps and the misses are taking away from your overall point value.

One last suggestion, have you tried this with a different song?

yes, greats are great... but you REALLY want to try and get for perfects while you're at it on standard and stuff
