AC bm complete 2: Difference between revisions

** All of the "Hard Version" charts from 5thMIX have been repurposed as ANOTHER difficulty charts for the same song (instead of being separate songs).

* Introduces several new modifiers: 1P-CENTER, HI-SPEED 2/3, and BM-II DOUBLE.

** 1P-CENTER: Allows the player use the 2P keys with the 1P turntable (to mimic the layout of the 1P side in [[Beatmania_IIDX_Information|beatmania IIDX]]).

** HI-SPEED 2/3: Multiplies the scroll speed by x3.0 or x4.0, respectively.

*** HI-SPEED, which was introduced in [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]] and multiplies the scroll speed by x2.0, is now named HI-SPEED 1.

**** HS1's multiplier value of x2.0 would remain the same until [[AC bm CORE REMIX|CORE REMIX]], where it would be changed to x1.5 for the rest of the series.

*** HS2's/HS3's multiplier values of x3.0 and x4.0 would remain the same until CORE REMIX, where they would be changed to x2.0 and x3.0 respectively, for the rest of the series.

** BM-II DOUBLE: Moves the 1P- and 2P-side play fields to the center of the screen when playing Double (to mimic the layout of Double Play in [[Beatmania IIDX Information|beatmania IIDX]]). This modifier was renamed to IIDX DOUBLE in CORE REMIX, and to CENTER DOUBLE in [[AC bm 7th|7thMIX]].

* ANOTHER charts now have individual difficulty ratings, instead of sharing the same ratings as the standard charts.

** Previously, ANOTHER charts had to be accessed by selecting a song via button presses at a certain time ([[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]] and [[AC bm complete|completeMIX]]), or with 2+3+4 (4thMIX and 5thMIX).

*** This is the previous behavior from 3rdMIX, which was changed in 4thMIX and 5thMIX but reverted and now used in all subsequent games.

* The U.S. release, known as '''hiphopmania completeMIX 2''', contains some of the changes made to the Korean release of [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]] (different groove gauge, addition of PERFECT PLAY), as well as a few additional changes.

** All licensed songs except for [[KAKATTEKONKAI]] have been removed.

*** As such, some EXPERT courses have alternate songs in place of their absences.
