Title:     The legend. (period)
Artist:    DJ Tepples feat Damien, SR9, Konchan, ZZ
Steps:     DR
BG/Banner: DR
BPM:       ??? (~83, ~333, 65, 130, 260, 520 for step segments,
                as high as ~1333 and as low as ~8 bpm during non-step segments)

A wholly enjoyable mash mix of various "legendary" songs of DDR/DWI fame -- The
legend of MAX by ZZ, The legend of ART by DJ Damien (from Tournamix 4), The legend
of BAG by SuperRetardo9, The legend of Jumping by DJ Tepples, and finally, our
favorite NES action RPG, The Legend of Zelda, with music originally composed by
Koji Kondo (Konchan).

The bganimations and videos were compiled by me -- the Legend of Zelda clips were
ripped from an .avi of a LoZ speed run I have saved on my PC; the clip of DJ Damien
was taken from his own Tournamix video; others came from DDR rips (the running
dude, the thunder, etc.). The weird clips of a live-action Link and some other
dudes dancing comes from a weird Japanese commercial for the SNES Zelda game
The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods (better known to us American peoples
as A Link to the Past).

The steps are very hard, very complicated, and there will be a lot of tricky bpm
changes and pauses for you to get used to. Furthermore, there are MINES. But
they aren't BS "on every other step other than the arrow you're supposed to hit
on every beat" mines, they're mines where you don't need to step anyway. Good
practice for ITG, I guess. The steps aren't as great without mines; I highly
recommend them on, if just for the last freeze.

That being said, this is one of my best simfiles ever! Play it and see. Enjoy!

UPDATE TO FILE (11/7/04) -- I resynced the majority of the off-beat parts in this
sim, including many of the confusing steps on Light and Standard. Also, the fast
part was accidentally 560 BPM instead of 520 BPM, so the whole last part was simply
out of sync. I re-tuned many of the steps as well, so they make more sense.



Beginner
  1/10

  I just made the beginner data (with one step, the last freeze) just to
  review the background videos in the game mode. Go for the AAAA!

Light/Basic
  6/10

  Spaced out and simplified, but still fast, and there are still quite a few
  bpm changes and freezes to worry about. It also speeds up to 520 bpm at one
  point and that's not easy for anyone. (I was gonna' let tepples make these
  steps but he seems to be taking a hiatus, and I wanted to release a new
  simfile, so, there you go.)


Standard/Trick
  9/10

  This one should feel a lot like The legend of MAX, bag, and MAX.(period)
  Standard all rolled up into one happy li'l ball. The steps aren't as complicated
  as Heavy, but still difficult; if you can pass The legend of MAX Standard you
  can probably pass this (once you get used to the 520 bpm part).


Heavy/Maniac
  10/10

  Very, very complicated and moving very, very fast. While this is not near as
  hard as The legend of MAX (containing close to 150 fewer steps total), Heavy
  uses lots of fun freeze patterns and various inconvenient jumps based on the
  way you'll be positioned on feet. Though I suppose on a keyboard you'll have
  little trouble...
