As someone who doesn't bar, it's really surprising to find out that Kyle Ward plays (at least doubles/full) barless as well.
All real players are barless of course.
He also created ITG and did stuff for piu as well
He didn't program the engine for ITG chris danford did
He didn't make itg he made music for ITG.
I've owned a stepmaniax AIO since 2017 and it works just as well now as it did day 1.
The man, the myth, the legend
Happy to see him grow! Been years!
Nice looking cabinet
I wish I could still move like that.
Yo! That's A Better Looking Cabinet 😃
Hello arcade heroes I wish there's in the Philippines
I'd love to see this cabinet someday in my area.
I love to see him tear it up! He's the real deal and so is StepmaniaX, love it.
Is just like pump it up arcade dance machine.
Its like Pump it up in total of how many Panels work
but with DDR Layout
I prefer SMX over PIU!
Gen z is gonna see this in arcades and think it copied Friday night Funkin
Oh no don't talk about that
I really really wish I didn't agree with you XD
I know my friend Catie Bowman is a Gen Z kid, but she looked up the history if FNF and Stepmania, and she came to the conclusion that FNF was inspired by Stepmania.
@@SamanthamusPrimeV28050 she is almost right, it was actually inspired by "parappa the rapper" and "dance dance revolution"
@@The_upgrater "catie" is a shorten version of Catherine, which is a girl name. Cate is another shorten version of Catherine. So, I know you meant "she is almost right." But I do understand clearly, I will tell her that.
full looks so silly with nobar haha
Probably costs 24k to buy the whole machine. Worth the money
it's around 14k
Way lower actually
I need that first song
Beautiful Man (The Eurobeat Remix)
@@Popcorniothanks bro
Take out the card readers and it really looks like PIU LX cabinet. Their songlist seems to be aimed at nostalgic players vs current players when I check out every update.
Nice video but I always wondered why Konami hasn't sued this company into oblivion? It's clearly a DDR clone.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the layout of the pad. Konami owns the patent to a pad with four panels and not five. This is why games like Pump it Up (another popular dance game) can exist since it has five button panels. Also the creator has gotten sued in the past due to a game called "In the Groove" which was much more of a direct clone and a predecessor to Step ManiaX. The game was around in the early-mid 2000's.
@@isskaymakesvideos - Thanks for the info about lawsuits. I did not know that.
This arcade cabinet looks extremely similar to DDR. I'm not saying they are breaking any laws, but I wish they made this cabinet more unique looking to set it apart.
I would mistake it for DDR at first glance if I was in arcades.
All racing games look the same too, IMO, but that's never been a problem. You can clearly see the name at the top of the cabinet anyway. @@TheBigExclusive
Because Kyle has gone down that road before. See the Roxor Games vs Konami lawsuit where they lost their IP (In The Groove) to Konami. It was mostly related to the offering of kits to upgrade actual DDR machines to ITG, which started with ITG2. That said, this go around - Kyle flew himself to Japan and had meetings with Konami before the release of this game, presumably to iron those sorts of things out officially.
@@DisgruntledDoomer - Racing games didn't invent cars or a steering wheel. But Konami were the first ones that invented this specific "dance pad format" with arrows, a screen, and the handle bars behind you. No one came close until Konami did made DDR. Then a bunch of DDR clones came out.
As an average consumer (who doesn't follow the gaming Dance scene), if I go into an arcade I will immediately think of DDR when I see this cabinet. It's incredibly close to Konami's design.
The creator of this game clearly loves DDR. That's why I said he needs to make his game look more unique instead of cloning DDR's look.
Look at some other new Rhythm games like "Dance Rush" with the light up LED floor. It's still a dance game, but it's a unique design that looks very different from DDR. Dance Rush was very original looking, and sets itself apart from the DDR design.
That's why I hope this person would try to make something more unique to set this game apart from DDR.
Ah Stepmania free rhythm game in the world, glad to see new cabs id love to whack around on one but i doubt they'd be out here any time soon. I miss the old converted ITG cabs too.
Hi. I just wanted to chime in and say that this isn’t Stepmania, it is StepManiaX which is a new dance game from StepRevolution. The same guys that previously made In The Groove. It is a completely new game and is not affiliated with Stepmania, despite the name.
@@SymBiotiX i know that but seeing the new stepmaniaX cabs brings me much nostalgia for the good old days. And in the community if you can get your hands on of the stepmaniax pads its usually paired with Stepmania.
