Oh, hello. Fancy seeing you here.

random is cheating

i hope everybody is ready for nothing to happen in 5 hours

>DDR 2014 never

>>13197778
Okay.

>>13197803
Ready as fuck. I hope there's at least a couple people that complain about about it on sows.

>>13197912
>>13197803
wait whats going on

>>13197953
konami is announcing their global e-amuse plans today.

>>13198006
In other words, they're translating the site for Round 1 players. That's about all anyone seriously expects.

konami begins official eamuse support for regions outside of japan
(with the legal grey area removed, licensed songs are no longer available to play in areas where the songs aren't licensed)
((konami has no plans to license the songs for use anywhere outside of japan))

>>13198163
The announce is at 7:00 am(JST), is 3:47 am now, stop being a ruseman.

>>13197778
fuck off

>>13198163
I wonder if they will start to support other countries with machines and, if so, which ones first.

I am just starting to play 6's in iidx and decided to check out a couple 7's to see what is in store for me in the future and I pretty much lost all motivation to play and git gud. Almost all of them are hyper difficulty and have fuck loads of double notes that I cant see myself getting good at ;_;

>>13198633
maybe you should stop being a baby and actually practice
why play games at all if you quit at the first sign of difficulty?

>>13198633
There are tonnes of normal 7s, what are you on about
Its level 9 that hyper becomes the 'main' difficulty

>>13198656
I didn't quit at the first sign of difficulty though. I started playing on 3's a couple months ago and never thought 6's were too hard back then. I just feel the game just got twice as overwhelming. I mean I'm still gonna play and try and git gud but I'm having my doubts that I actually will.

>>13198633
whether a chart is classified normal, hyper, or another only shows its difficulty relative to other charts for that song, so there's no need to be scared of hyper charts if you can clear normal charts of the same number difficulty.

to the person asking in the other thread why there are no sows invite threads on other private tracker forums: but there are? i was invited from the one on what.cd.

>>13198633
if youre getting upset with the transition from 6's to 7's, quit now.
seriously, you aint seen shit until you get to 9's and up

where were you when hope for eamuse global service was kill

fuck off adrian

>>13198703
>I mean I'm still gonna play and try and git gud but I'm having my doubts that I actually will.

there's no reason you wouldn't if you put enough time into the game

I see this all the time from new players, people think they're some special fucking snowflake who is incapable of playing the game as well as other people. you're not any different from anyone else

you know actually good players weren't playing 6s and in the meantime looking at 12s going "those look easy as fuck," right? you're at the exact same skill level everyone who is good at the game was at at a certain point. stop whining and play

>translate the registration process
>remove paseli references off the front page of eagate
>leave everything else as is
konmai global service quality

HYPE!

>>13199388
It is definitely not possible for everyone to be good enough to play level 12's.

bemani popularity ranking as judged by kac views

whats the most effective way to practice and get better? just keep playing?

>>13200033
Wow, what a shit taste if jubeat and sound voltex are in the first three places.

>>13199953

unless you are using a playstyle that is horribly flawed, yes it actually is possible. and even then, altering your playstyle just requires more work

I've seen dozens of new players complain that they'll never clear 12s, and sure enough those same people who put effort into it end up doing it. I have not once in all of my experience come across a player who puts deliberate and consistent practice into clearing 12s but is simply incapable of it no matter what

you get out of iidx exactly what you put it. play and challenge yourself for several hours every day and within a year you will be doing a lot more than clearing 12s. don't challenge yourself, it'll take long. play less, it'll take longer. use a playstyle with more weaknesses that you don't correct, longer still

>>13200045

1. play as much as you can

2. play outside of your comfort zone. push your own limits often and don't shy away from things that give you trouble. you have to fail endlessly before you succeed

3. play a wide variety of songs

>>13200049
how long would it take to get that good? also i would think lots of people wouldnt have the dexterity to play level 12's or would hit their skill cap a bit before it.

>>13197715
>mashing buttons on a plastic controller
>pretending you're a dj

kek, how embarassing

>>13200088
iidx take more skill than it does to be a real life dj

>>13200065

the exact rate of advancement will depend on the person, but if your goal is let's say passing kaiden, a year is more than reasonable assuming you play enough

I've never encountered an actual under-12 skill cap, only players who don't do what it takes to get to 12s. it's extremely unlikely you will hit a skill cap of any variety until very, very late into your iidx career. but even then when the time comes, you can for example incorporate bms and push through it

>>13200065
the people who "can't" are just people who haven't worked towards it. unless you're physically incapable of reading the falling notes (which can be on the screen for as long/short as you want at this point) or hitting the buttons/scratching, anyone should be able to clear 12s with dedication and grinding

>>13200088
good thing I'm good at piano too

>>13200088

How much will my game improve if I upgrade to a dao from my uskoc?

>>13200313
playing on a dao doesn't make you improve

>>13200282
>jubeat is worse than sdvx
>gf and dm are on the same level
Not today, Satan.

>>13200332
will my accuracy improve with them sanwa buttons?

>>13200342
Depends on how much the sound of the keys helps you, really.

>>13200342
If you're playing on a PC, then yes the USB connection will help your timing. I don't think sanwas would help much.

>>13200357
yeah im using a shitty mayflash adaptor

>>13200341
To be honest, sdvx has a funner gameplay, meanwhile jubeat is a memorize the chart, too bad it has a shit songlist, and gf and dm even if are different ways to play, is still the same game with the same songs.

i want to wrap my lips around corin's cute little british prick

>>13200523
dude thats gay

>>13200253
I'm so sorry for your shitty taste anon, but there are better games than sdvx and jubeat as >>13200282 said.

I went to the arcade today.

Considering some of the songs in this course, I'm content that I got <10% Perfects. Almost all the Greats were in Captain Jack because I'm dumb and can't figure out the intro and ending.

Uo.

>>13200442
>too bad it has a shit songlist
This is SDVX for me although the gameplay was better.

>>13200091
its amusing how true this is

>>13200033
This is absolutely spot on based on arcade use/amount of machines

>>13200033
>>13201745
I just don't understand how reflec and jubeat are so popular.

>>13197715
>being a 7k pleb
>not playing 88k

Why not just learn a real instrument?

I wonder if today's Konami news is going to effect our precious arcade games.

incoming possible shitstorm

>>13202207
What. How?

>>13200313
You'll definitely get better scores, but you won't be breezing through songs that give you trouble. What you failed on the USKOC is what you'll fail on the Dao, but you might see some new personal best scores. Switches > Membranes all day every day.

I always found that USKOC very awkward to use because it feels like it registers later than even the normal JPKOC. Even thought the JP would stick all the time, I would always use it over the US when playing singles because I felt like it was more responsive in regards to timing. With the US, sticky keys are rarely a concern, and the JP feels more responsive. Not like that matters much if you're using an adapter.

>>13200442
Imagine a world where SDVX had an actual songlist and din't have to rely on 2hu remixes. Speaking of which, is there even any PC98 repping?

>>13202207
when old bemani artists left and konami removed 90% of their songs from bemani games i always thought it was some sort of legal thing

now that they're scrubbing everything of any mentions of kojipro i guess that's just how konami as a whole is

>>13201111
captain jack is definitely the hardest song on the course. congrats, that's a very good score.

bass bass bass bass bass bass bass

This shit needs to stop

>>13202786
>he doesn't like led and teranoid

Do IIDX players actually like TECHORCH? I always thought he wouldn't fit the kind of game, before he actually started being a regular. I listen to him religiously, but does he actually fit?

>Almost all level 12s now are a minimum of 160 BPM
>We are still using a 1-12 to scale despite the scale being outdated for at least 3 styles before being implemented (thanks Quasar DPA)
>Scream Squad, One or Eight, and Special Summer Campaign will always be on the same difficulty tier as Plan 8, Beach Side Bunny, and Elemental Creation

How do I move the pacemaker next to my note chart? Also do people really play double by themselves?

>>13202786
*drop

>>13203277
thats what doubles is for...? pretty sure battle is what requires 2 players

>>13203277
That's exactly what doubles is, one player using both sides. The patterns are all designed to be one handed, there's a separate mode for two actual players.

>>13203545
>all

older styles have plenty of bullshit in them

>>13203242
This is why clickagain is a thing. Use it.

>(thanks Quasar DPA)
14k was already broken back when flashing 7s were top tier. Hello Nemesis. Quasar just took it into levels of infamy.

Anybody know what the fuck is going on over at Konami right now? Looks like everyone is leaving the company.

>>13198707
All the Hyper charts I have played and much harder than Normals on the same difficulty number.

If you can't play 12's you are shit.

>>13204048

no one worry, this is only something someone who isn't particularly good would say

no actually strong player is so crass towards people who aren't as experienced and are working to improve

>>13204090
I see what you did there.

>>13203823
which number in particular are you talking about? the normal 7s are pretty overrated, i think, but otherwise the difficulty is the same. it's probably just your luck that you've picked the easiest normal charts and the hardest hyper charts in that level to play.

>>13204289
Yeah I was talking about 7's.

>>13204303
You have to compare songs of the same styles, because difficulties, especially around 7s, are really underrated in the older styles. That way, there are a lot more hyper (and even another) below 7 on the older style, but they have crazy patterns so you'll find them hard. If you play 7s in the recent styles they should be the same wether they're normal or hyper.

>>13203647
Early double charts were fucking retarded. Even the easier ones were dumb as hell because they are mapped like hybrid couple/single play because it's physically impossible for anyone to hit some sections. It's possible for me to hit key six and scratch with the same hand, but I have to use the very tips of both my fingers to accomplish that, but that still isn't good enough to "properly" hit some notes in old doubles charts. Pinky stretching something like pic related is simply not an option, and this is a fucking level 5, and similar patterns are everywhere up until around 10~ style.

>>13204408
You're supposed to hit the chord slightly early and the scratch slightly late so you don't break combo. Scrub.
Early cabinets had the decks closer together so you could hit the leftmost two notes with one hand and 35s with the other.

>>13204432
>thinks combos are important
>doesn't know that the control deck has yet to change in terms of input spacing

>>13204432
it's all about that pinky scratch

tfw you're playing a scratch heavy chart and can feel your fat jiggling

using the bar is cheating

>>13203713
RIP Konmai. I wonder if Bemani even makes them enough money to stay profitable.

>>13204992
How popular are Benami games nowadays? I feel like there's been less and less of them over the years and I didn't even realize they still made them.

>>13205536
That because technology evolves, there are less new mixes, but a lot of software/songs updates to the current ones.

Who wants a konmai pass?

Do Bemani artists like Kors K, Yoshitaka, Ryu and etc sometimes give live performances? It'd be great if I could go to one while I'm in Japan next summer, but I don't know if they ever happen

>>13206028

He's had songs in IIDX since 2007. A lot of his music seems I think geared to pros wanting challenge that aren't just scales.

Sol Cosince Job 2 did get into jubeat, so it must be popular enough. Now for 888 to port to IIDX...

>>13206150
So it's a once in a year thing and I have no chance of seeing such a live show in august?

anyone know where I can go to look up some iidx charts?

>>13208132
No, it's not like osu

some assists like auto scratch dont count scratch notes in your score i think

>>13208172
i don't own a console that would play it

>>13208132
Assist options pretty much remove notes from the chart, so they lower your score.

What if I clear the song but then I get a better score with random?

it means you should play more

Because he's Australian

>>13213426
he streamed before programmed world was about to shut down saying he didn't care because it would all be worthless in a few hours

he also made a private group for streaming the game which was the final straw

darqs is cool but he likes to dickwag

>>13214810
nothing, it's just an ebin /v/ maymay
"cuck" is basically synonymous with "faggot" at this point

>>13213899
Clear rates seldom, if ever, reflect the difficulty of a song, considering that most of the people on the network don't play 80%+ of the song list. The Safari and Gigadelic 7K have extremely low clear rate percentages because most people only played them when they did 7/8 dan, and while they may "clear" it in the dan course, it will not register as a clear on the server. The result is that the two songs have a 10% and 7% clear rate respectively. This is also why The Sampling Paradise has a clear rate below 20% despite being an easy 12.

How does it feel knowing that the thousands of hours you've spent playing music games could have made you proficient in a real instrument instead?

>>13216732
Nothing special, like every hobby.

>>13216740
>every hobby
That seriously depends. I've felt great satisfaction and happiness in some hobbies, while in others I never felt anything special 99% of the time. Clearing a hard song on a rhythm game I really like is truly a special feeling. I still remember when I was playing PIU in an arcade and I finally beat my first Lvl. 17 song, I was tired as hell but still felt like my training made up for it.

>>13216748
Oh no, I was talking more about the "what if I did this instead of that", of course it feels nice doing something you like.

>>13216732
Whats the point in learning an instrument if you cant create good music?

Whats the best hand position when playing iidx? Hovering your hands or resting them? My right hand cramps the fuck up when I rest them and im not accurate enough when I hover them.

>>13216851
Play with whatever method gives you carpal tunnel in the slowest way possible.

>>13216851
i prefer hovering because i time better that way
plus it's easier to adjust my hands for certain patterns

>>13219232
7 to 8 was the easiest step for me, getting the hang of the game enough to play 5s and 6s was a lot harder and now I'm really feeling a wall with 10s and harder 9s.

Can someone explain to me what Programmed Sun was? Do Konami's arcade machines have something in them that doesn't allow home cabinets to function or something like that?

>>13219670
It's the opposite for me. I started on 4s and breezed my way to 8s, but I've been stuck on them for a couple months at this point.

>>13220244

>>13222165
please stop cheating

>>13222165
Hovering is for crafts and resting is for gentlemen of leisure you uncultured swine

I felt like I'm hitting a wall at the 8s, so I decided to turn on random and see if looking at some more varied patterns would help me improve. As it turns out, I think I've only managed to get to 8s thorugh sheer luck, because I can only do half of the 6s and even fewer 7s with random on. Even stuff that I thought was relatively easy in 7s are now hell with random. It's like a whole new game now...

>>13222458
Is better to play different song styles instead of random in the same song.

I know we don't like osu! here, but is there anybody who really thinks that osu's scoring system is of any worth?

>>13222547
Not the default one.

I also happened to see a girl sitting in front of me in a lecture who had osu installed on her laptop. Funny that.

>>13222547
Nope, is shit.

>>13222560
What are the non-default ones?
>>13222564
So nobody defends and everybody acknowledges its shit? Not just on /jp/?

>>13222578
The score system itself is shit, you can see it in taiko and gf/dm too, is fucking awful.

>>13222578
>>13222547
While I love osu!, it's still easy to say that the scoring system is hilariously flawed. Score is completely dependent on combo, which then calculates rank. This makes it hard to see who's actually good and who's just hr-dt-fl-hd'ing beginner maps.
One miss and you're screwed, no matter how good your accuracy is. A score with 70% accuracy with no misses can be far higher than a score with 99.99% accuracy with one miss.

>>13222622
Extending from this, the reason IIDX has a scoring system which is good in contrast to Osu's is that it's based on accuracy and not combo. I don't know the ins and outs, but I don't think your combo offers any bonuses apart from a cool number and the accomplishment of getting a FC.

>>13222622
>>13222637
Does anybody have an idea about why the developers made the scoring system so combo dependent?

>>13222643
Because peppy is not experienced with music games. He just coded it for fun.

>>13222645
Err, the original game(Osu tatakae ouendan!) had the same system, so he just copied that.

>>13222645
its cool that he made it pretty much all by himself (?) but he's a real arrogant dick about it like most australians

>>13222643
Peppy just copied Osu. He doesn't want to change it because he'd have to wipe the leaderboards and everyone would get pissy. Yet another reason Japanese rhythm game players are superior.

I wish IIDX leaderboards used money score

>>13225648
I don't like the visual clutter from the other side. IIDX/pop'n/GFDM/DDR simply present the notes and nothing else; if a chart is a visual clusterfuck, it's because the chart is complex. In Reflec Beat you have to deal with the other side's notes bouncing around the screen as well, just adding needless clutter.

>>13225648
You mean it's simple but retardedly memotrash.

The rate of input for ReflecBeat is so low, so all of its difficulty comes from being dumb to read and having to use a shitty touchscreen.

Jubeat has similar problems, though it's not nearly as bad.


Semi-related, there are people taking the fact that both topranker finalists track crashed when sightreading Everlasting Message as evidence that SDVX is now one of the hardest music games. What a joke.

>>13225141
Because your enjoyment of the game and devotion towards it isn't based purely on your amount of progression
I spent $400 on my FPS while I was still on 7s

Any recommendations for adapters I can use with my USKOC?

>>13225141
I see shitloads of people on Sows that have like REDs while posting Bs on 8s and shit and it just baffles me how people are so confident that they'll commit to it enough to throw a grand down on their first controller when they're still such novices.

>>13225845
I bought my FP7 when I had only played a few hours of osu mania

>>13209633
be patient
mine just got here after about 2 weeks

IIDX players are constantly yammering about their dan rank. What's the equivalent of each IIDX dan ranking in Pop'n? For example would an 8 dan song be equivalent to a 35 (pre Sunny Park)? What's the highest dan, 12?

I still can't get the fucking quick disconnects off the microswitch terminals in my dao.
Is there a trick? I got omrons and I can't get the fucking wires off to replace them.

should I buy a controller or a high-quality onahole

>>13226932
do you jerk off or play bemani more?

>>13226852
See how it looks like two little half tubes if you look at it from the end? Wedge something small inside those and pry them up a bit, then you can push down on the connect with that new space and it'll unhook the little nub from the hole on the other side and come off.

>>13226936
either choice will change my destiny

>>13226936
Fuck, an onahole really feels good in the dick, but playing with a controller is really nice too, you got a hard choice anon.

>>13226932
why not both

>>13225767
so what did the toprankers say

>>13226961
this
attach the onahole to the controller
modify your TT so the onahole acts as the TT

>>13226842

no one actually cares about dan rank. dan % is a better indicator of skill, if people really feel the need to judge a player based on something dan related. there are countless thousands of not so good kaiden players, but no one with a 95%+ final percent (for example) is going to be bad, and players with 98%+ are universally very strong players

the highest rank is kaiden, which is preceded by 10dan

don't concern yourself with dan. as far as pop'n goes, 12s are more or less equivalent to 42s and 43s on the old scale, 11s usually in line with 41s. it varies too much beyond that

>>13222622
>who's just hr-dt-fl-hd'ing beginner maps.
You barely get any pp from this though.

Score is not completely dependent on combo, Accuracy is important too.

What's better, FPS or FP7? And what colors did you pick for the TT and such?

a video appears on twitter of a gitadora crack and the guy playing is fucking up hard on 3.2s while playing with a keyboard

why is it always koreans that can't keep their mouths shut
why is it always scrubs that get access to shit like this

>>13227228
>why is it always scrubs that get access to shit like this

because players who don't have the dedication to becoming a skilled player make up for it by trying to set themselves apart from everyone else in ways that don't require a lot of hard work. simple as that

>>13227228
link?

>>13226015
>eyed DAO's controllers for years when just getting into iidx
>hit 7th dan a few months ago, just recently started clearing a bunch of 11's and hard clearing a lot of 10's
>finally pull the trigger
i guess now all i gotta do is actually have a dedicated area for it rather than replacing my keyboard because i have to raise it with some boxes and i can see that getting old

>>13227324
What have you been playing on instead?

>>13227324
put it in your lap

>>13227324
er, sorry i may have phrased my sentence incorrectly

i play using my desktop monitor on my desk, and to get a comfortable position without going out and buying a new chair or stand at the moment is to raise the controller with some boxes on the desk while the monitor sits on a raised ledge in the back of the desk.

I have a good CRT in the other room with S-video and component connections, but my graphics card only outputs HDMI, DVI, and DP. And then it would be a matter of getting the right stand for both the tv (since CRTs are fucking massive) and the controller for my height

does anyone like tapping their controller's buttons even though you're not playing?

i love the sensation of pressing my DAO's sanwas down it's quite euphoric

>>13227173
The FPS and FP7 are functionally the same, the only difference is that the FP7 looks nicer and its turntable is a bit closer to AC diameter at the cost of the case being a bit bigger. Turntable size really doesn't make much of a difference though.

If you play on your lap and/or move it around from house to house a lot you probably want the FPS, if you play on a desk or home cab setup you want the FP7.
Also if you plan on doing art mods, of the two only the FP7 supports it.

For my FPS I just got default red keys and blue TT. Pink buttons and white TT or white 1/3/5/7 and blue 2/4/6 with white TT looks nice too.
I always thought white for 1/3/5/7, blue for 2/4/6, and red for TT would look nice to represent the note colors, but I've never seen it done.

psst

having a stable surface to play on is important. don't play on your lap

>>13227380
Why is that? I've been playing on my lap since I started, the only downside I'm seeing is that I can't play for shit when I stand at cabs because the keys are way lower than what I'm used to

>>13227380
this

how the fuck do people scratch on their lap? even with a koc, i have to keep myself from literally pushing the controller off which just adds another degree of difficulty that's unnecessary

>>13227384

your lap isn't stable. there are many songs that you are unable to play without the controller moving around a ton which will impact your play negatively

>>13227393
I think that's actually another problem I run into, on a cab my hands miss the keys in fast parts sometimes probably since I'm used to the controller pushing around a bit when I hit them.

>>13227360
Never used one, but I think it's the same or similar as using a mechanical keyboard with blue switches. It's fucking amazing to use this.

>>13228055
Sanwas/Omrons feel so much better to press than Cherry MX keys, there's honestly no comparison

>>13228068
they cost 25$ for some reason

I miss Slake.

>>13228756
no you don't and all the memers saying you do are full of shit

i'm sorry i just don't see the appeal in his music it's like shitty club music like the rest of the game

>>13227360
I've had a boner for clicky arcade buttons my entire life, I bought a set of sanwas just because they look nicer and I'm always idly mashing on my controller while I'm not doing anything

Half the reason I play rhythm games is because it gives me an excuse to buy and tinker with arcade parts

>>13228055
Cherry blues feel nicer to press slowly or with less pressure, sanwas with omrons feel a million times better to hit hard and fast.

>>13229145
Nope, I hate her songs, but I like her songs as mayumi.

i see people saying that they've passed their first 11s after ten years of playing
literally how do you be this bad

>>13229242
reminder that iidx is a race

>>13229260
A race of life or death.

>>13229242
I've been playing for 3months can now pass a few 9s, but I'm afraid of hitting a wall and becoming like them when I hit the 10s and just can't get better

>>13229242
reminder that people who say theyve been playing this game for ten years really mean they only heard about it 10 years ago and just recently started tryharding with their new RES

Why are there so many furries in the IIDX community?

>>13229407
Where?, I don't see them.

>>13229407
lots of obnoxious faggots too.

>>13229447
Fuck, that's disgusting.

>>13229512
Yea how does that guy on the left even put on those kinds of shoes without even thinking about it

>>13229516
Yeah, is nasty.

>>13229447
hey that's svgl

why do we have so many goddamn furries at svgl

Is this alright? I used to live near an arcade, so it'd be nice if the buttons were close to arcade-perfect

>>13229580
if you want arcade perfect then get sanwas.
if you must get daos then get 100g omrons

>>13229590
Sanwas with 50g or 100g?

>>13229598
50g with sanwa is arcade accurate yes

>>13229598
sanwa buttons come with 100g springs by default so get 50g omrons, and if it still feels too stiff after a couple months of playing replace the 100g springs with 60g.

>>13229447
kigus =/= furry
there's often a lot of overlap though

>>13230066
'I'm not a furry I just like dressing up as animals!' ????

>>13229580
Opinion: the colored FP7 backgrounds are really ugly, just get the default metallic
Otherwise it looks fine, if you want to get sanwas just buy them separately on rakuten for about the same price and enjoy the free set of omron 100gs and free set of dao buttons. If you want to use 100gs in your setup, you can also just leave the default honeywells in your purchase and replace them with the ones that come with the sanwas off rakuten.

>>13230074
kigus are just weeb shit, it's the same thing as catgirls and stuff like that

>>13229427
All over sows and the fb page, you can tell from avatars/display pics

>>13229242

it's interesting to me how it's exclusively poor players that ever say uncouth things about other people's skill level unprompted like this

at least that's how it is in iidx and bms

>>13229609
Do people actually think sanwas with 50g is too heavy? I started with 40g spring dao keys and 50g omrons and it felt way too light, I switched to sanwa keys with the same switches and it didn't really feel any heavier. putting the sanwas' 100g switches in is too much though

why don't you just call it the IIDX thread?

It's all you fags ever play.

I play taiko, iidx, groove coaster, pop'n music, mai mai, and etc, I don't know what the hell are you talking about.

>>13230317
Because everything else is welcome too, and we don't want people making separate threads for other games

>>13230169
so are you finally going to try tackling 7s going into your fifth year?

Anyone play on a CRT?

Wait, if PW is down for good can you still play without eamuse?

>>13230801
The game still needs a connection to even boot, so I doubt it.

>>13227228
it's not just the koreans that can't keep their mouth shut...

>>13231007
I wouldn't really expect focusattack to know any better, but joshua is an idiot.

>>13230429

it's funny because you can't name any good players that are just outright rude to less experienced players for no reason. I know this as a matter of plain fact. it's always people who think they're hot shit now that they've cleared or hard cleared whatever 12 they think is difficult, or cleared kaiden, or whatever else, that like to shit on everyone

your jab at what you think my skill level is is entertaining to me on a personal level I guess, in a kind of snickering-to-myself way. nice try though anon

>>13231007
Fucking really.

>>13231007
at least the link isn't of him actually playing it
still dumb

>>13230173
I use 60/50 since 100/50 was making me too tired during extended sessions, and i still have more than enough key rebound to hit jackhammers. I've heard that japanese arcade players usually prefer 60/50 or 20/100 and arcades with multiple IIDXs will have different spring/switch setups.

>>13230317
but i play popn sdvx and iidx

Hey all! I figured some of you may not know about this game.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinylab.rhStation1&hl=en

Is this the original? I see another version that you have to pay for

Well shit, if eamuse is gone maybe buying a dao wasn't such a good idea

does psun still allow you to have an account and unlock shit?

Is there any way to get your green number (no idea what it's actually called in this game) to save between songs? I really hate having to manually do it before every song.

If the community had some masculinity to show instead of femininity and homosexual's that spout bullshit, I would actually keep playing.

I don't even care about osu, but really, take a chill pill man, you need it.

>>13235167
cant stop all the shitty anime ops popping up while looking for maps tho

>>13235177
What else would you be playing it for?

so totto and noriken are kaiden level
what other bemani musicians are actually good

Sasakure.UK is also Kaiden level for both SP and DP.

Most of the in house artists are fucking shit at these games even though a load of them are chart designers. kors k girlfriend back in the late 00s was better than he was.

>>13235133
>taking part in the community
>interacting with the community
>implying I do any of the above

Your fault you went there.

Why are osu songs so ridiculously overcharted?

Will getting a controller be worth it if you're just playing sims like LR2/osu?

>>13236500
I don't see why not. I really wouldn't recommend a real controller for osu though, its charts are made for the default keyboard layout and won't really be enjoyable or comfortable on a typical IIDX layout.

You'll likely move onto the real thing in time anyways

>>13235945
You mean overmaps?

Well there are good overmaps, like DJ Orange's EOS. Leo137's Heartbeatz and a few others.

>>13236500
Worth for LR2, since its an actual clone. Mania has charts made for keyboards not IIDX controllers.

Unless youre playing BMS charts, but then you might as well go play LR2.

If you need help with mania I can probably help you a bit, im nowhere near the best but im alright-ish.

>>13235218

dj TAKA's decent enough, able to play his song scales. DJ TECHNORCH is too, since he actually got into making music because of playing beatmania back in the 5-Key days.

As for the artists, GOLI admits to not being good at all at the game, mentioning unable to pass MAX 300 back in the day despite animating the overlay for it.

playing offline on sdvx ii using eamuemu...any way to trick the game into using my card id to save/unlock shit?

>>13238114
no

what are some iidx songs where the scratch notes are actually scratches? i know of the obvious ones like x-cross fade and snake stick

>>13238114
eamuemu was last (meaningfully) updated in late 2011 so no newer games have any sort of functionality coded in
the only reason they'll even boot with it is because the base eamuse protocol hasn't changed since then

4k is for nerds

Prim is shit.

I'm mildly rustled that the upcoming event completely prevents Otasa from being on IIDX

there needs to be a song like beach side bunny again imo

How retarded would it be to use a IIDX controller on osu!mania?

>>13239256
>>13236899

guys what cute anime girl images are you using for spada result screens?

>>13239256
I tried it and fucked off after 10minutes, which is less than the setup time I took to map the keys, went back to LR2. It was pretty retarded and shitty

>>13239306
Yeah, I read you and I already know that the charts are made for the keyboard layout, I'm asking HOW bad it is to play on a IIDX controller.

>>13239374
Thanks, I probably won't even waste the time

>>13239385
It wouldn't be that bad, just stupid. The patterns are made for keyboards so it would be like you're handicapping yourself.

Why doesn't AC IIDX have the same fixed scroll speed settings as LR2? It makes so much sense.
I'm not talking the ones that normalize BPM changes, just the max/min/average ones so you don't need to adjust floating high speed to your ideal green number for each song.

I don't understand why the scroll speed was ever based on BPM to begin with.
