Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
Rhythm and Police has 420 steps. I just noticed this.
Do you think it's intentional by Konami? For those who don't follow, 420 is the number that is often associated with marijuana, often celebrated on April 20th (4/20). From my understanding, this number was chosen because it's the number that the police use to associate with some sort of criminal charge related to the drug. Now you should see why I find this funny :P

Purely coincidence.

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
Coincidence that the song about police has 420 steps? Coincidence that, if you listen to the lyrics, it says:
"So... Let's leave a little bit of change The tramps can fear us Stay boarded up in their special caves Just how far are they gonna stay sane Cut the drugs, uh!" ( http://www.animelyrics.com/dance/cjc...mandpolice.htm ) That seems a little more than coincidence :P Konami has done other tricks with combos before, such as 573,000 being the default highscore, and 573 being the max combo of Max 300 and Legend of Max, which under traditional Japanese script, is pronounced "Go nana mittsu", loosely translated to 「コナミ」 (Konami)

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
You still need more proof though. I still don't think there is a correlation between the two.

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
I'm not operating under the rules of discrete mathematics and propositional logic; it's not my intent to prove once and for all that this is a fact.
It just seems like the stepchart author had a little fun :P I believe it to be intentional.

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
I still don't thinks so. I guess the only way to find out is ask the step artists.

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
you could look at how 'forced' the chart feels to have a guess at how much the chart might have been changed up to arrive on 420 steps?
e: like how EHHS v1 has weird breaks and stuff so it doesn't go over 1337 steps

The steps don't seem forced at all, they're very predictable.

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
To give evidence that counters my theory, it only adds up to 420 if you count jumps as 1 combo, however jumps in DDR counted as 2 combo at the time the song was released.
Still 420 beats with notes on it, though the combo doesn't add up.

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
Max 300 and Legend of Max both have a total count of 573 steps. Konami's number. Neither chart seems to be forced.

And i thing TLOM is a bit forced, or if it's not, why they done this ****ty stepchart ? I don't know for Rhythm and Police. But in my opinion, it's coincidence. (I didn't know what was 420 before this tread.) Last edited by PanStyle; 04-27-2009 at 04:12 AM.. |

Re: Rhythm and Police... 420?! No way XD
It doesn't seem that unlikely. Konami has used play on numbers in other files.
