Introduction

DDR SuperNOVA2 - D2R(FREEZE Special) AutoPlay

D2R ("FREEZE" Special) has the highest Freeze value at 200.

On the Groove Radar, the Freeze (Japanese: 氷点の, Romaji: hyōten no, lit. Of Freezing) aspect represents the number of Freeze Arrows in a song. It is also determined by the lengths of the Freeze Arrows and the number of measures in a song. For example, oarfish's Single Expert chart has 118 Freeze Arrows which is more than D2R ("FREEZE" Special)'s 67. oarfish's Freeze Value is lower than D2R ("FREEZE Special)'s because the majority of its Freeze Arrows are short (most lasting between 0.5 and 1.5 beats). D2R ("FREEZE Special)'s arrows are much longer (as high as 15 beats).

How to Calculate Freeze

Finding the Total Length of the Freeze Arrows

To find the Freeze value of a song's chart, find the total length of all Freeze Arrows first (see below). They are measured in beats:

• 4th notes = 1 beat (most Freeze Arrows in general)
• 8th notes = 1/2 beat
• 12th notes = 1/3 beat
• 16th notes = 1/4 beat
• 24th notes = 1/6 beat (e.g. Amalgamation's stop-Freeze Arrow)
• 32nd notes = 1/8 beat (e.g. Go For The Top's Freeze Arrows during the 16th note stop section on the Challenge chart
• 48th notes = 1/12 beat
• 64th notes = 1/16th beat (e.g. Tohoku EVOLVED's Freeze Arrows at each one of its two stops)

Finding the Freeze Arrow Rate

After finding the total length of all Freeze Arrows, find the Freeze Arrow Rate (abrreviated as FA Rate) by solving $r=10000l/b$ (r represents the FA Rate, l the total length of all Freeze Arrows, and b the length of the song in beats). r will always be an integer.

Example 1: D2R ("FREEZE" Special) (Single Challenge)'s total length of all Freeze Arrows is 239.00 and is 252 beats long.

l=239 and b=252

1. r = 10,000l/b
2. r = 10,000(239)/252
3. r = 9,484

Example 2: ラキラキ (Single Difficult)'s total length of all Freeze Arrows is 39.00 and is 276 beats long.

l=39 and b=276

1. r = 10,000l/b
2. r = 10,000(39)/276
3. r = 1,413

Example 3: D2R ("FREEZE" Special) (Double Challenge)'s total length of all Freeze Arrows is 233.00 and is 252 beats long.

l=233 and b=252

1. r = 10,000l/b
2. r = 10,000(233)/252
3. r = 9,246

Example 4: SILVER☆DREAM (Double Expert)'s total length of all Freeze Arrows is 74.00 and is 296 beats long.

l=74 and b=296

1. r = 10,000l/b
2. r = 10,000(74)/296
3. r = 2,500

FA Rate	Play Style	Final Freeze Value
3,500	Single / Double	100
9,484	Single	200
9,246	Double	200

Calculating the Final Freeze Value

Calculating the final Freeze value (represented by f) will come down to two parts depending on the value of r and your playing style (Single or Double).

Singles

If r is 3500 or higher, then solve this equation:
$Freeze Value=(r+2484)*100/5984$.

If r is 3500 or lower, then divide by 35.
$Freeze Value=r/35$

Example 1: D2R ("FREEZE" Special)'s Freeze Arrow rate is 9,484.

1. r is higher than 3,500
2. Freeze Value = (r+2484)*100/5984
3. Freeze Value = (9484+2484)*100/5984
4. Freeze Value = 200

Example 2: ラキラキ (Single Difficult)'s Freeze Arrow rate is 1,413.

1. r is lower than 3,500
2. Freeze Value = r/35
3. Freeze Value = 1,413/35
4. Freeze Value = 40.3714286, 40.4, or 40

Doubles

If r is 3500 or higher, then solve this equation:
$Freeze Value=(r+2246)*100/5746$.

If r is 3500 or lower, then divide by 35.
$Freeze Value=r/35$

Example 1: D2R ("FREEZE" Special)'s Freeze Arrow rate is 9,246.

1. r is higher than 3,500
2. Freeze Value = (r+2246)*100/5746
3. Freeze Value = (9246+2246)*100/5746
4. Freeze Value = 200

Example 2: SILVER☆DREAM (Double Expert)'s Freeze Arrow rate is 2,500.

1. r is lower than 3,500
2. Freeze Value = r/35
3. Freeze Value = 2,500/35
4. Freeze Value = 71.4285714, 71.4, or 71

My Groove Radar

How you will increase your Freeze stat on your My Groove Radar works like this: $v=(a/b)*c/10$ (v is the value that will be added to your Freeze stat on your My Groove Radar, a is the number of Freeze Arrows held successfully, b is the number of maximum possible O.K.'s in the chart (not including Shock Arrows), and c is the Freeze value of the chart. For every subsequent time you play the chart, you will get 10% of the maximum possible value (e.g. D2R ("FREEZE" Special) will give out 20 the first time, then 18 the second time, 16.2 the third time, and so on).

When two Freeze Arrows start and end at the same time, only consider them as one Freeze Arrow. This "Jump Freeze" is 3 beats long.

This Freeze Arrow is 5 beats long.

When finding the total length of the Freeze Arrows, you need to take all of them into account. There is one 15-beat, two 1-beats, and one 3.5-beat Freeze Arrow.

When two Freeze Arrows have the same start point but different finishing points, only take into account the longer Freeze Arrow. Do NOT count the shorter Freeze Arrow!

Trivia

• The Freeze value is the only Groove Radar to not change its equations in every new DDR arcade game. This is because no song currently has a Freeze Arrow rate of higher than 94.84% (on Single) or 92.46% (on Double).
