Question Why are SDVX songs so fast?

I'm serious. It's like they heard one Xi song and said "let's do that but worse, and then let's turn it into our whole soundtrack!" I know it's not the only rhythm game guilty of this but it's got to be the worst offender, right? The median BPM has to be like 240, man

Well the charting of the game at the highest difficulties is built around very dense patterns and slow songs would be very hard to chart that way without weird gimmicks.

I do agree with your assessment. I main IIDX because of this really, because I find the j-speedcore and 220 world boring after awhile. Don't get me wrong I love me a good m1dy or L.E.D. song but not as 90 percent of my skill expression. Since IIDX is a non symmetrical game, it really gives space to a diverse skill set that requires something more than what SDVX offers. However I do find SDVX gameplay satisfying. Just not as much as -MAXing a scratch heavy 12 in IIDX.
