getting more GREATS than PERFECTS

[ningrim]

Hey guys,

I'm coming back to DDR after taking a year off. Before I used to be able to get AA on pretty much any standard song. Now I'm having trouble because I keep getting more GREATS than PERFECTS.

I have a new pad, the CF pad, used to have a Red Octane with a piece of heavy particle board inside. Is the CF pad less sensitive?

Also, I used to have a Sony VEGA CRT, now I have a samsung plasma. I use the PS2 for both, and I use component cables for both. I'm wondering if maybe there is a slight delay with plasma TVs that is causing the screen and dance pad to be out of sync.

It could be my timing is just off since I haven't played in awhile, but I feel like my muscle memory is still there because I get the large combos, just with GREATS instead of PERFECTS.

If anyone has had similar experiences, please share. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks

There's your problem. The delay from using a plasma will cause things to get out of sync. There should be an option somewhere in the settings menu that lets you adjust the timing windows a few milliseconds early or late; just play with that value until it "feels right".
