Is 23 going to get updated from Pendual on the round1 cabs?

DDR vs PIU?
In terms of music, difficulty and fun.

>>13723255
I feel like DDR is more about going at the rhythm of the song, and PIU is more about difficulty.

>>13723255
>music
ddr by a landslide, especially older mixes with dancemania licenses
>difficulty
i'd say ddr is better as far as fair difficulty goes, like there's nothing comically impossible in ddr that just wastes your money in the arcade, which can't be said for piu
>fun
piu is a lot more creative with its gameplay tbh, i feel like i only like ddr still because of nostalgia, the newer entries in the series are not very engaging, whereas piu seems to keep it fresh still
can you tell i've played way more ddr than i have piu and my opinions are invalid

tfw jubeat machines won't read my emuse card anymore.

Bemani games now have racial lock, they won't work unless you're asian or have a tiny dick.

Today I learned that Stepmania 5 can natively run BMS files
I have no idea why you'd use this for them, but cool

>>13712647
Managed to finally get KBM running with my keyboard.

Where can I get Keyboard Mania for PC? I want to use my Casio PX350. Have you guys tried Synthesia?

>>13723377
DDR has been kinda shit since SN. I've dabbled in playing stuff from the SN and X lines and everything feels pretty bland stepwise.

>>13723617
Good on part

>>13723653
Stuff is being added but I do actually think it may be good to look at expanding that feature a bit more due to how hella buggy lr2 is

>>13723999
I don't think a single dedicated song exists for the beat mode and the default theme is ugly as fuck and looks like it was taken from a LR2 screenshot, the lack of an audience is pretty extreme

It would be nice to see it gain popularity though

>>13724100
Well beat mode does play bms files which is the main reason for using it. It hasn't had much work done on it but I would like to see it worked on more as lr2 is really damn buggy

>>13724114
>Not playing Lunar Beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su74_DRsf3w

>>13724232
I'll start using lunarbeat as soon as it has its own dedicated themes without all sorts of LR2 option that don't work or do anything because lunarbeat has its own menu

>>13724241
i wonder how he still has a passion for the game when he's been playing it for so damn long and is so good at it

is there even anything left he can't do? maybe black mendes?

>>13724350
Dolce is not human, he is a robot sent back from the future.

>>13724350
All pgreats. Plenty to do for another 20+ years. Put in 1/5 of his time and try to quit. If you've invested so much of your time and effort in to something you're not just going to quit it even if there's seemingly nothing more to do.

>>13724448
Everyone quits eventually.

>>13724459
I don't think so. Lifelong passions emerge from all sorts of activities. I've played rhythm games for over 10 years and still am not tired of them. I remain active in the community and play regularly. I think rhythm games fit an interesting niche where they will never be obsolete, unlike shooter games or any other genre, where people only play the latest rendition and not older releases. I can see myself playing rhythm games for as long as I'm able to. They're so ingrained in me that I can't seriously see myself giving them up.

>>13724241
Does he play any other rhythm games or only IIDX?

>>13726177

he plays drum mania and pop'n very well, and used to (or still does) play jubeat

probably plays most of them casually at least

>>13726177
He has played some Drummania and DDR. I know he has a AAA on Maxx Unlimited.

>>13724350
Obsession with a single aspect of a single game is NOT passion.

>Being a rhythm game fan on the east coast
I haven't experienced a rhythm game in an arcade setting in over 10 years. Round 1 on the east coast never.
That said finally beat a few 11s on lr2 normal scale...That's something right?

Stepmania gave me carpal tunnel...

>>13727265
We're getting Round 1 in Massachusets and Long Island soon.

>>13727304
Wait seriously? Shit son that's only like 40 minutes away ignoring traffic. Do you know where in long island?

>>13727329

I should've expected this, still happy though, better than the initial never.

>>13727299
same

where can I buy a DDR machine

>>13727411
from people

>>13727299
I think IIDX is going to give me carpal tunnel but I think it's just my scratch hand position. If I do long sessions too often my wrist hurts and I cannot touch my thumb to fingers without my hand shaking.

I assume there are good warm ups to prevent this or is my only option just to play less?

>>13727411
Find an arcade that's closing down or has a beat up one, prices will be ridiculous though, your only other chance is finding one on ebay.

Is Round 1 the savior of Amurican rhythm gaming?
>tfw they even sell eAmusement cards

>>13728097
I would say monopolizing more than saving.

Hopefully Konmai offers eAmusement service to everyone some day.

literally all you have to do is take a video of you cumming on mayumi and you'll get an invite.

>>13729421
is this an epic new meme?

why don't songs get good videos anymore

fucking LOVE this meme

>>13729424
Why do people think we're joking?
Both sucking a dick and posting a video of yourself cumming on maymi will get you in.

So I tried osu mania cause I'm away from my controllers this holiday weekend.

Scoring problems aside, it fills my hit the squares in time to music fix but holy fuck the long notes.

Why are the charters so shit? The majority of songs even on ranked are full of these shits and it makes it almost not fun to play.

Sega knobless sdvx knockoff. Guess I'll try it if I see it.

>>13730679
without any proof it makes sense to be sceptical.

>>13730883
Majority of the maps are made for standard, auto converts to mania are absolute shit. Get ranked o!m charts here https://osu.ppy.sh/p/beatmaplist?m=3&r=0&g=0&la=0&ra=

>>13731030
most of the ranked ones are shit too

>>13732358
The majority of people mapping for Osumania have never touched IIDX.

That, and most players would complain that most IIDX charts level 8 (Going by IIDX standards) and up would be too hard.

>>13732397
"why do these have so many weird patterns, where are all the hold notes"

>>13732397
It's weird. I can do 11.5's in IIDX but I'm having trouble with some harder charts in osumania with an IIDX skin.

Again, it's probably the fucking long notes.

I went to the arcade today.

>>13732409
The timing in osu is different to the timing in IIDX, really different.

>>13732447
cute

Why is learning how to place your hands and shit so hard for iidx, hitting scratch chords just fucks me up.

maybe i should stick to other games

>>13732358
Yeah probably

>>13732408
>>13732409
I agree, long notes are shit because you have to consider the end as a note as well, as in you have to release in time

>>13723654
You can use Doremimania to play as well.

>>13732831
i know that feel. started recently and i press the wrong buttons all the time. anything with more than 4 buttons just overloads my brain.

>>13732831
>>13732982
It's just a beginner's hump. Stick with it for a week or so, and you'll wonder how you ever had trouble finding the buttons.

>>13732831
>>13732982

>>13734548
>How long did it take to start normal clearing 12s?

about 6 months

>How long until AAAing most 12s?

"most 12s" is a pretty huge selection of 12s, I'd say about 3 years

first 12 fc was at about a year and 1/2..fcing most 12s about 4 years

none of this really means anything since it's entirely dependent on how much you play and what you focus on

>>13728202
>I would say monopolizing more than saving.
this
R1 is likely the only reason why PW got slammed

>>13727299
I feel like stepmania is really bad for this since you're repeatedly mashing the same four buttons with the same fingers, compared to stuff like IIDX where there are more buttons to cover so you're floating around a wider area and charts can be harder without relying on pure density

Every time I go back and mess with stepmania again I don't know how the hell I used to play it for so long

>>13737471
Yeah with stepmania my hands and shoulder started hurting after a while but with IIDX it seems to be much better. Maybe once i hit the harder songs.

>>13736063
I'd say most people can roughly estimate how much someone plays. There's relatively high progression variability regardless and as you said depends a lot what people tend to focus on.

Compared to me you're about twice as fast as me at nc 12s. About the same for timing.

>>13737685
tfw iidx controller is packed up

I built a capacitive dance pad today. It works surprisingly well: The sensitivity is high, and latency is miniscule. The only problem I've noticed is that it's only capable of detecting two presses at a time, which means no hands. You also can't play with shoes.

Every other schematic for homemade DDR pads I'd seen uses mechanical parts, power tools, require hours of construction and at least $100 of materials. My design uses a $10 Arduino, some metal plates, wires and resistors, and can be built in 30 minutes. Fixing the plates is as easy as taping them to the floor. A few obscure blogs mention similar projects, but I had to specifically Google "capacitive ddr pad" to find them, and all of them are pre-Arduino with overly complicated wiring. Theoretically, you could build it on top of a wooden board and cover it with anything dielectric to make it portable/nicer-looking.

Is anyone interested in schematics / source code, or would I be wasting my time? I don't see a lot of people playing DDR these days.

>>13738161
That's cool. Is there any way to make it recognize more than just two button presses at once?

>>13738171
It can detect four button presses at once if two people step on two arrows. The problem is that your body capacitance gets spread out between each pad you touch. Two pads at once works fine, but three is spreading it too thin.

It might be possible by increasing the resistance, but I'm not certain. I'm using 5600 ohms per arrow right now. At 4700, only one arrow works at a time. At 6800, the arrows become too sensitive and register as always-on.

>>13738200
Ah right that makes perfect sense.

>>13738161
So it's just a single layer metal sheet you step on? I had no idea this was a thing. I'm not really into DDR, but I would enjoy a writeup just because the science behind it is pretty cool.
Does it work with socks?

>>13738161
Yeah that'd be cool. I want to build a real pad eventually, but I don't really have the room for it so one of these would have to do for now.

>>13738161
I'd do this, but i can't play barefooted, i feel awkward. Genius idea though.

>>13730907
i dont understand how this is going to compete with other rhythm games. at least maimai was kinda unique.

>>13738236
>Does it work with socks?
Yes. It works through almost any material, as long as it's not too thick. It would also be possible to mod a pair of sneakers to conduct electricity through the soles, but that would involve gutting them.

There seems to be some interest, so I'll put together a write-up. Science is not my strongest suit, but I'll try to explain how it works as well.

>>13737435

I need a rhythm game that doesn't have any high pitched singing Japanese language songs, something challenging and fun but doesn't require a bunch of hardware like Osu. Kpop songs preferred. Something I can play with a mouse and keyboard.

>>13741113
Stepmania's probably the only thing that fits into all those requirements, calling it "challenging" might be a bit of a stretch though

If you want it to be easy to run download 3.9+ and get a nice theme like cyberia style

>>13741137
Thanks, I'll give it a try

>>13741113
You can play lr2 or o2jam with a kb. Most of their songs doesn't even have a high pitched kawaii uguu voice unless you download "anime song pack" or something like that. Or if you want to play shitty korean songs you can play djmax but it's way easier than lr2 and o2jam

Few here like osu, no one likes osu!mania, what about Taiko and Catch the Beat?

>>13741456
CtB is a joke and taiko doesn't really have a purpose without a controller and nobody has one, so it doesn't really get any attention

>>13742060
I love holds!

>>13742071
I honestly want to know what these osumania charters are thinking when designing these Italian delights.

Is it too difficult for them to think of button patterns so they slap some holds and hope it gets ranked?

I can't get any LR2 skins to show up at all, when everywhere people say it's as simple as placing the skin folder in your lr2files/theme directory.
Does anyone know what might be the issue?

>>13742514
Osu charts and IIDX-ish/BMS charts are two different things. This is why you need difficulty tables when playing non-insane charts in LR2. I don't get the appeal of holds either, but hey, osu is apparently quite popular.

>>13742514
>Damn what is this rhythm I can't tell
>Fuck it I'll put a hold there

Who's tried making charts here? Do you find it easy or hard? I believe many people underestimate the work that goes into making charts here.

I think osu!mania is only popular because Osu, the main game it's bundled with, is popular. I'm a long term Stepmania player and when I tried to play 4K osu!mania with an SM skin I just couldn't because the timing is horrible and the holds are awkward. I felt like I was playing one of those cheap rhythm game ripoffs you find in flash games. The accuracy was all over the place and everything felt wrong. Didn't have this problem with o2jam and even some Chinese clone MMO felt better.

But that's just my opinion, man.

It's objective, though, that not as many people play it as Osu, very few ever make ranked charts for it and the devs themselves have said they don't maintain it to an acceptable level for competition.

>>13742577

>>13744431
Where do people come up with this shit? Majority there are 0-posters and few act like "hot shit" who've been around longer. Rest are those who have actually contributed in some way. There is like 0 elitism among those who keep things running.
If you try to fit in and take on inside jokes of course people will jump on you. It's a stupid thing to do. Most of the "active" people there are those who know each-other in some way and they literally talk among themselves.
I've been helping out a bit and nobody has ever jumped on me. I don't go around posting my opinions or try to fit in. I hardly know these people and find it stupid to attempt and take part of their jokes or discussions.
From my perspective since the forum is relatively inactive of course you'll only see certain groups of people and they'll act like any other group of friends would. Bantering, bitching, being jerks, but not taking any of it seriously. If you try to jump in they'll apply the same "rules" to you. If you don't get their "joking" manner or don't know how to deal with such people then don't do it.

Yeah I downloaded Spada a long time ago when I was new because I was spoiled by another private tracker that I was on and thought it'd be easy to seed it back. (Even worse I downloaded Spada twice)

anything is possible. just abuse free seeding points.

I am, have 900 points which will bring my ratio to 95. I'll probably be able to get it a few weeks after the leak but not sure if it's worth the hit to my ratio again. I'll just wait for the eventual freeleech.

>>13744872
I'd say seed for points and wait for freeleech. You don't need 22 immediately when it drops do you?

Why is that? Does Konami crack down hard on that shit?

>>13744873
>You don't need 22 immediately when it drops do you?
but yeah I'll most likely wait for freeleech. Lr2 is actually keeping me pretty occupied with all the different songs even if their 10-11s difficulty are bipolar as fuck.

So do people actually take the time to get good enough to scratch stuff like Beach Side Bunny. Ive progressed to 10s without too much trouble but get destroyed by scratch songs. Should I take the time to get good?

>>13745950
Dolce would win KAC pretty much only because of beach side bunny, not everyone puts a lot of time into scratch songs

Only bother if you're having fun doing it

>>13745950
Yeah you need some dedication to clear scratch-heavy songs, but it doesn't matter when you do them. I'd say it's easier to do them once you're clearing mid 12s because your general playstyle will be much more refined and probably find it easier to control your hands then than now. However if you're bored or demotivated it can be a good change for a while to practice something different just for fun. Do as you please. It doesn't matter too much.

Good luck!

>Does anyone actually like these guys?

idk some of those names but people like aubrey are legitimately bad people and no, no one who actually knows about them likes them except whatever sows clique

sows is literally the worst collection of human beings who play rhythm games that you can find. some are fine of course, as with any relatively large community, but as a whole it's horrible

bemanistyle (for casual players mostly) and vjarmy/solid state squad (for more hardcore players) were your best bets to find good people playing these games but those places are dead now, and the music game crowd is honestly too scattered to say any one community is worthwhile. at least that's my take on it

to my surprise, I've found these generals quite nice due to anonymity and a healthy collection of newish players that haven't been exposed to the toxic atmosphere or drama of many places. I like the questions from new players and discussion is pretty straightforward and civil

Not sure who you have in mind specifically, but there are definitely OK people there. Take zyp for example. He doesn't say much, but totally OK guy as well as many others who are relatively quiet. Some of the more active guys are fine as well, but seemingly people somehow feel offended directly by everything they say. Don't get it. It isn't any worse than many other communities out there.

how hard do you guys hit the keys in iidx?
i feel like im smashing the shit out of them, all the force comes from my arms
i have great timing when i do that though
that and the sound the keys make is incredible

Stepmania gave me RSI
I have no I will to live anymore
I just want to arrowsmash

>>13748932

>>13748932
RSI is the worst. Are you taking steps against it? Seems like every doctor i go to just says I should work out.

>>13749229

>>13749558
Carnival.

>>13748853

it depends on the the player, the song, and the keys (and springs and switches)

usually if a player is hitting the keys excessively hard, the increasing chart density as they advance will force them to draw it back and hit them more softly

similarly, if you're mostly using your arms you'll be forced into mostly using your fingers for denser songs. but many people find utilizing your arms to hit the keys harder can be helpful as you've noted regarding timing. it's normal to do so

I personally don't use my arms at all and play completely static wrist scratching 1048 and hit the keys moderately hard in iidx. very very few songs are dense enough in general to necessitate hitting the keys more lightly than I usually do. at the other end of the spectrum, in bms ,the situation is different where many songs above 20 I'm hitting the keys extremely lightly. at some point it's impossible to hit the keys particularly hard assuming a chart is dense enough

the situation with keys can vary so much that it's hard to generalize. some modded jkocs can be so sensitive as to require virtually no pressure to activate them (and make virtually no sound when hit), or a new asc/arcade machine might feel like the keys require a bit too much pressure to activate, or anything in between and they all influence how hard keys are hit. too many variables to go into but you get the picture

What's up with otaku's obsession with uniforms? So edgy.
Also Copula's name and color theme sounds like fucking shit, worse IIDX yet.

>>13751964

yeah the name's the worst out of all of them, the fuck were they thinking. the theme idk, I'd prefer an actual theme (like trains or space or tropical or military) to some kind of vague non-theme like lincle or tricoro (spada and pendual were weak too though)

resort anthem's color scheme looked horrible to me at first but grew on me a lot and now I think it's kinda charming so I'll reserve judgement until seeing copula's in game. and I will never get used to saying "copula"

holy shit this song is so good.

Tricolour I am pretty sure

assisted easy: easy gauge with the clear threshold lowered from 80% to 60%

what's the point
it's still not a real clear

how buggy is spada omnimix?
im only on 6 and 7s and spadas my first style so i still have a metric fuck ton of songs to discover without omnimix
just wondering if its going to toss a bunch of glitchy songs into song selection and cost me 10 gigs

>>13753363
i wouldn't bother honestly. a lot of the removed songs are pretty shit. obviously there's some good ones but you've got enough songs to play without them.

>>13753363
for me at least a majority of the clear rates don't work

>>13753401
>>13753400

thanks guys, saved me 10 gigs

>>13753363
It's playable.
The only reason to play it is for black anothers.

>>13753401
Clear rate doesn't really mean anything anyway.

>>13753554
Do you actually believe that, scorefag?

>>13753585
Clear rate is the number on the song select screen that indicates which % of plays on the song where clears. I don't see how it's useful.

>>13753638
For new players, it can tell wether the chart is "easy" or "hard" for that particular song level. It is useful.

>>13753707
It's incredibly inaccurate though. Like for songs that people like, but the highest difficulty is only 9 or 10, it's gonna have a high as fuck clear rate because people who are normally playing 12s are forced to play a low difficulty (relative to them) chart even if it's hard compared to other 9s or 10s.

And then there's songs that are really easy but have a difficult finisher, where you can enjoy 98% of the song before getting fucked

why are most LR2 songs shit

>>13753824
I enjoy most of them chart wise. Just hate that LR2 loves to randomly throw bullshit at the end more often than IIDX. I get really frustrated failing with a AA.

Are there any good home options for playing drummania?

>>13753363
Not really worth it if you're still learning the game. Aside from wonky volumes of song previews and some really questionable difficulty ratings for earlier charts it's alright.

so when exactly do we get pendual data? do they wait until the new one actually releases or might we get pendual a bit early?

>>13754225
pendual released on 9/17 and spada data went up 9/19

is there a difficulty wall in ddr?
i get that in iidx its mostly around 8's and 9's for most players.

>>13755451
On the old difficulty scale, 6s to 7s was a hell of a hurdle that you can only overcome by big dicking it. I don't know what would be the equivalent using the new scale since that one's fucking retarded and rates Can't Stop Fallin' in Love Speed Mix as a 12.

>>13755490
>since that one's fucking retarded and rates Can't Stop Fallin' in Love Speed Mix as a 12

That's pretty accurate though

>>13755451
7 and 8s are where i started having trouble with stamina, and also being home version only playing on a shitty pad
playing for clears is a lot easier than playing for accuracy tho

>>13755547
Try to play with accuracy in mind. It will make you a better player in the long run.

>>13755451
I picked up X3 a while ago, and I've managed to work my way up to 11s with relative ease. I'm having trouble with 12s, but it doesn't feel like I've hit a wall by any means.

Then again, I used to play DDR years ago. Maybe it's like riding a bike.

>>13755451
I hit the 10's wall
I can clear a minority of them. The other ones I just can't read/react to the dense charts. If it's not that, the scratching kills me.

DDR or ITG? Which dead franchise is superior?

>>13755754
ddr obviously

>>13755754
pump

>>13755754
>>13755772
I feel like DDR is starting to loose quality, but the only thing ITG really has is that it's harder and you can get custom songs with OpenITG. So i'll say DDR only because it's still being made.

>>13747730
>tfw gonna build a 9 panel version of this

hee

>>13755800
>easy clear

>>13755782
I think ITG wins because of custom charts
>still being made
Blame Konami's lawsuit ;-;.

>>13755790
why 9?

>>13755984
so i can use it for pump too

>>13755993
I'm pretty sure pumps corner arrows are bigger than a ddr arrow

>>13756008
i don't think that enters the equation when we're talking about a setup that involves taping metal plates to your floor

>>13755790
Word of advice: You'll want to write an Arduino function to let you switch between a PIU mode and DDR mode. Powering all nine panels at once seems like a bad idea.

>>13755807
If they were still up and running, i'd definitely say that ITG is better.

>>13755754
I'd say
Old DDR (Extreme and older) >>> ITG > New DDR

>>13756084
>Powering all nine panels at once seems like a bad idea.
Not him but why is this?

>>13723654
>wasting your time with synthesia kiddie pleb shit

just learn how to git gud at sight reading real piano sheets instead, faggot

>>13756388
Because you can only step on two arrows at a time. For example, this would be impossible while playing DDR, because your left heel would count as a third step.

>>13755754
R21 ITG = PIU > ITG = EX- DDR > SN+ DDR

There are a lot of great custom doubles charts even though the actual ITG staff kinda sucked at making them for whatever reason, which gives R21 the major upper hand to me since I barely even play singles anymore.

>>13755754
DDR. ITG music just isn't appealing at all.

>"guyz itg is so much better it has way better charts"
>charts are either a minefest or a streamfest
>"but the charts arent retarded! they're not artificially difficult at all"
>vertex^2

>>13757652
On that note, what it is with DDR and people complaining about the charts? In any other rhythm game the skilled players keep quiet and practice until they can regularly clear the hardest stuff. In DDR the skilled players just bitch endlessly and blame the chart for being "bad" when met with something they can't breeze through.

>>13757718
DDR is the more accessible game, meaning it attracts a lot more retards.

Just look at morons who post in forums and say shit like "hurr durr I never want to see a 20".

>>13757718
well back in the 5th mix days there were some charts that didnt really go to the music that well.
other than that theres just a lot of whiners in the ddr scene since its pretty big
