Song timestamps are in the pinned comment.
SMX songs tend to be shorter than ITG songs, so I put pauses on the SMX side when it doesn't have equivalent music/steps to its ITG counterpart. At other points, OBS froze. Can't do anything about that.
The center button and slimmer time requirement makes it so none of the songs are exact ports, but SMX has some features that make songs interesting to play even if a lot of the steps are carried over. Mines can be holds instead of streams of individual mines. Tempo changes (0:40) and halts (4:49) are marked by yellow and red lines respectively. Rolls have a designated number of steps rather than a periodic timer.
I chose to play the songs instead of putting it on auto-play because 1) that's not an option on SMX and 2) to help point to sections of charts that may be particularly difficult or oddly stepped. Full disclosure, I hate just about every ITG3/Rebirth chart so expect a lot of missed crossovers.
SMX chart difficulty ratings are roughly 2x standard ITG ratings with a more gradual difficulty curve at 21+ than ITG's 11+. Every song has a Wild chart with a minimum difficulty of 19.
Extra notes:
D-Code - remixed and called "Gallecode" in SMX but essentially the same song [zariis.bandcam...]
Holy Guacamole - SMX may have a different speed? Certain sections are off sync without video editing
Ladybug - Slightly different middle section music, but the structure is the same
Land of the Rising Sun - SMX is not censored (not that ITG ever really should have been in the first place)
ROM-eo and Juli8 - SMX is slightly faster
Spin Chicken - SMX is slightly slower with several parts removed
Sweet World - the new gimmick is reverse-stepping the roll patterns
Missing Comparisons:
Bloodrush/Determinator - these songs are too hard for me, plz no bully ;n;
My Life is so Crazy - remixed by InitialP in SMX, very different structurally than the original
Land of the Lost/Paranormal - I didn't even realize that ITG Rebirth 2 was a thing that existed
Popcorn/Pop4 - remix is very different and can't really be compared
Remember December - remixed by Smiley in SMX, enough difference that the comparison is difficult
Who - far too much difference in the updated version of the song
