Why do you people hate osu?

>>13788958
I hope the dnb near me gets ddr
I'm bad at pump :c

>>13788967
If you mean the sim, it has been said a fuckton of times, the combo score is shit, the only good charts are from other rhythm games, and still sometimes are shit, and etc and etc.

>>13788958
oh fuck, i'd be happy as hell if the d&b near me got ddr 2015

jubeat and sdvx is a plus too, it'd attract all the normies and leave ddr unattended

>>13788967
Combo scoring, the charts cant really be complained about since it's a community based chart thing, but the scoring system sucks ass.

>>13789134
Normies like DDR though, did you forget the DDR craze of the late 90's/early 00's? Also I can't really see normies going for SDVX, it'd attract all the weebs though.

>>13789134
I'd be happy with the arcade i got to getting any other Bemani rhythm game that isn't DDR (they've got a shitty american X cabinet, but it works) Literally everyone who goes there to play rhythm games goes either straight to guitar hero (normies) or Pump It Up Prime (The pro's are always hoarding it since it's a brand new TX cabinet)
I'd have all the other rhythm games for myself if they even had any...

>>13788958
>DDR 2015 is getting a location test at D&B and will be connected to eamusement

Is this just the current DDR 2014 or are they loc testing the 2015 update that hasn't been announced yet?

How can I get a bemaniso invite?

>>13789155
Why do you want a sows invite anyways? You can't download new games until you take ages to become a power user, you can't play said games without a pcbid that you can't get and the forums are terrible.

>>13789154
Remember the date code system Konami use, any update released in 2015 is considered to be DDR 2015. It kind of gets confusing with Sows going off the UI updates in the middle of the year.

>>13789155
Post a video of you cumming on Mayumi

>>13789162
Yes you can play without it.

>>13789182
Wow really? I just assumed they made a new song folder with each UI update.

Fuck when are they gonna announce that shit already. I need more DDR.

>>13789162
I already have a pcbid(yeah, I create one before the psun sue) and I don't want the new games

The true is, I only want the so.ws invite to see the topics about the DIY controllers and the recommedations of a good PC for the bemani(pc type 4) games, only that

>>13789204
I'd definitely invite you, but i need my dellar right now ;_; sorry anon.

>>13789162
>You can't download new games until you take ages to become a power user
Jokes on you, I was a power user after two months and half, and my upload is so shitty (70Kbts), just download freeleech stuff, always have the torrets seeding and share good stuff that isn't in the track, is not hard, really.

>>13789155
I can give you one
but you gotta promise to be good

Local arcade already got rid of Beat Stream. Owned.

spada crashes for me if I try to start it up at the reading card unit. It worked before but not now; and I'm not sure if this okay to ask about.

>>13789430
Yes, I'm gonna be a good user , I promise that I'm just going to use the so.ws account to see the topics

Does anyone have that pendual playskin for LR2? It would be nice if someone could upload it.

What's wrong with the combo scoring?

>>13789917
sent ;)

>>13789944

c-c-can I get one?

>>13789934
The fact that it makes almost no competition at the top scores, where in some games you have to get perfect accuracy to get the top score, in a combo scoring system you can simply get a full combo and still get one of the top scores.

>>13789944
Thank you so much for the invite, based anon

And don't worry anon, I will keep my promise of use this account only for see the topics in the forum

anyone? Or should I just stick with tricoro until pendual comes out.

>>13789542
what kind of crash?
just crash to desktop?
my popn did that once but i restarted and it worked fine afterwards

>>13790497
it crashes during the boot up, the security, backup and psbio get the ok, but it crashes before the card unit can do anything. the card id file is the same as the one I use for tricoro.

Can we all agree that the Normal difficulty should be removed from IIDX? Casual players are the reason the game's music is getting worse, and completely removing any easy songs would prevent that audience from enjoying IIDX.

The only drawback I see is that it would remove the ability for newer players to work their way up to Hyper. Even so, I think most new players with any real potential are able to handle at least a level 6 from the get-go.

>>13793182
>I see is that it would remove the ability for newer players
Except most people I've introduced to the game have to start on level one and work their way up. So yeah shit idea.

>>13793206
>Except most people I've introduced to the game have to start on level one and work their way up.
All that means is that you're introducing casuals who will never clear an 11+. I suppose that makes you part of the problem.

Skilled gamers do not start a new game at casual difficulties. Sure, IIDX has a high skill ceiling, but if you have some experience with rhythm games, there's no excuse for not being able to clear harder Normals and a few easy Hypers. They're really not that hard.

>>13793223
Friend I had to restart completely when getting my controller 3 days ago, I was barely clearing 6s for the better part of the next 24 hours.
I've been playing rhythm games for 12 years.

>>13793182
>Even so, I think most new players with any real potential are able to handle at least a level 6 from the get-go.

you should act as consultant to konami and tell them your new joke business plan for the iidx series about how you want to alienate players who don't have real potential, then justify it with how it's only the most hardcore players that keep the series alive, and end with your pitch for how any player that doesn't have a kaiden clear with at least 98% ending rank will be ejected from the eamuse servers

This is absolutely true.

>how any player that doesn't have a kaiden clear with at least 98% ending rank will be ejected from the eamuse servers
I know you're mocking me, but it might be a good idea to use pricing to discourage bad players from continuing to play IIDX.

>players with top scores on e-Amuse pay 100 yen per play
>bad players pay 400 yen
>everyone else pays a unique value in-between

Ejecting people does not seem fair, but bad players who show no sign of improvement should be encouraged to give up on the game. Doing it financially could work, while simultaneously bringing in more revenue.

>>13793392
>forcing people to give up on the game
>bringing in more revenue
Pick one

>>13793447
Temporarily bringing in more revenue. The long-term survival of IIDX depends on surgically removing these players from the community.

>>13793470
Every player, no matter how good or bad he might be, pulls his weight for IIDX's survival.
If you can't stand them, just ignore and let them have their fun, they aren't hurting anyone except maybe buttmad autists like you.
In any case, less players would make the game even more niche than it already is, leading towards its death. You can't prove me wrong.
Sure, a dedicated hardcore fanbase will remain, but I doubt they would be enough to justify more expenses from KONAMI's part.

ah yes a classic battle

I truly would like a paradise that caters to highborn players like myself, who play the game for the raw challenge and for the sake of striving toward self improvement, that never fail to seize the day's time and make it their own on their way to topranker and beyond

but pragmatism and duty must take precedent over honor, titles, and claims to accomplishment. let the lowborn players share the machine, forsake your glory, and we will live on

>>13793320
I always did like him for reasons I couldn't put into words

iidx is a casual game, only autists without a real hobby take it seriously

>>13793182
Worst post I've seen in a while.

First of all: Alienating new players will lead to the death of this game, sooner or later. That's a given.
Second: Disrespecting people with a low skill level is one of the worst thing you could do. I know this might shock you, but the median skill level in pretty much any rhythm game is somewhere in the first third (1 being top, 0 being bottom), at least from my experience.


I would like to see you on your first day of your first rhythm game. I know that 6s seem easy when you're good at this, but consider that IIDX has a fairly large amount of inputs (8) and a strict timing. ANY good game has some sort of tutorial or introduction level. The first level(s) usually introduce several game mechanics and prepare you to use them.
Have you played Portal? Imagine it would start the game off at the 9th, 10th chamber, without introducing the mechanics of the portal gun, the kind of thinking you have to do when solving the puzzles. This is not good game design.

Kind of the same thing with IIDX and Rhythm Games in general: Sure, you'll quickly be able to play level 3-4 songs, maybe within the first few hours if you're good, but you NEED these "introduction" levels, teaching you the basic techniques, getting used to the timing etc..

In short: Shut up.

>>13793769
>iidx is a casual game
This is the (unfortunate?) truth. Rhythm games require no real skill. That's what makes games like Guitar Hero and Beatmania IIDX such good party games: Practically anyone can jump in and enjoy them.

>>13793806
i started on 4s but otherwise i agree with you

>>13793814
There are very few 3s and 2s in the normal, non-beginner modes of the game, so I guess they expect most people to start with 4s.

>>13793810
Throwing a ball is easy, but still requires a fuck ton of practice to do it consistently well. Balancing sticks are easy, but also require crap ton of practice. Apparent simplicity doesn't somehow make the task any easier. ANY kind of motor task is bound to require vasts amounts of practice to do it well. IIDX is basically nothing but that with very strict timing thrown on top of it. In short, I heartily disagree.

>>13793297
Lol when i switched to controller I was playing 10s on the first day and ive never touched an iidx controller before that.

>>13793297

>>13794285
Congrats! Very intrigued by that. Care to share some videos? Hand cam would be great too.

>>13794325
videos of what, humans still play rhythm games? I retired long ago after conquering all forms of 7k+scratch music games with perfect full combos on all music with charts and reached 100% consistency while doing it. during comboing my custom chart with 1 trillion notes/s on all keys and scratch my human body dissipated and essence merged with the cosmos, and dimensions further

I think rhythm games are the only kind of game where you can play on a cabinet next to the same guy for 4 hours straight and never say a word to each other

Combo scoring system is actually good in Osu. Because of how retardedly easy it is to get high accuracy, combo system is the only thing that could make this game challenging at all. Even casual players like me can get 97.5% average accuracy and I play this game like once twice a month.

Pop'n buttons are now pretty cheap thanks to aliexpress, I can get a full set for 50 bucks.

Should I mount the buttons inside the little plastic cases, which means the hole only has to be for the stem, or should I mount them at surface height? One requires me to drill a bunch of easy ~30mm holes, the other requires 100mm holes that'll be a hassle.

Finding some more scrap MDF is going to take a while, too.

If your just coming into sdvx go cheap, if not get sanwas. Also omron switches 50g.

what buttons/knobs on Dao's SDVX controller match an arcade setup?

Which is harder from a beginners and an experts perspective? Pop'n or IIDX?

>>13799379
I liked it since I first saw the chart and I don't get why everyone seems to hate it.

They probably just set their expectations too high.

>>13800526
pop'n is definitely easier for the beginner, it has the simple 5key mode and IIDX's turntable is a huge casual filter

>>13800542
Didn't they remove 5 key mode?

>>13800548
it was gone in SP but I thought I read lapistoria brought it back

I don't really see the need for it since low level charts barely use yellows and whites anyways

>>13800548
>>13800555
>>13800561
They replaced it with an easy difficulty, which uses only the red and green buttons at level 1 and goes up from there.

>>13800654
To add to that, I'm sure the change in the difficulty scale was to accommodate E charts.

>>13800519
There's a blog post in google both jp and eng telling you what parts they used.

only complaint is the leds must not have been snug because 2 went out after some gameplay

Japs are apparently very good at losing source code. When a lot of games were getting HD remasters a few years ago several needed to be remade from scratch because the source code was lost.

>>13800118
Does the turntable size matter at all? Or are they pretty much the same?

Also, is there any reason to get an arcin still? Or is the dao pcb just fine?

>>13802411
God damn. I'm getting tired of these crashes. Stupid japs. Just put your code on github if it's something like LR.

>>13802474
game controlled lights are nice and the dao analog turntable gave me some grief, however i haven't tried the newest firmware

>>13802474
From memory the PEE and the FP7 have the same TT size, but the distance from the keys differs. I think the more expensive one had arcade accurate distance.

>>13802474
There will be a bit of adjustment if you like to play in arcades a lot, but they all have the same spacing between the turntable and keys which is the most important part.

The modern Dao PCB is good enough. Arcin only has two useful features over it: game-controlled lighting if you're in the sekrit klub, and a custom firmware that delays turntable input. The latter is useful if you want to treat BMS as practice for IIDX (since LR2 doesn't have analog turntable support, it reacts to pretty much the slightest input), but it's up to you if that kind of thing is worth it.

>>13802533
Both have AC spacing, but the FP7 turntable size is a compromise between AC accuracy and KOC portability.

>>13802487
>crashes
A lot of Japanese studios used to simply throw away source code after finishing a project. I'm not sure if that's still the case, but Final Fantasy 7's PC port is a good example.

what would you recommend?

When playing on a keyboard, what hand positions are generally considered the most efficent?
I recently moved from stepmania to LR2 and I've noticed that alternating my ring and middle fingers is pretty difficult, especially on my left hand. Would it be better to use both thumbs + a pinky finger instead?

>>13803049
I play with my left hand on the home row. ASDF for white keys, WER for black keys, and spacebar to scratch. It's probably not the most efficient method, but I plan to get a real controller eventually.

>>13801825
I believe that's accurate, yes

>>13803115
do you play one handed?

>>13802474
It doesn't really matter, because arcade turntables are all over the place anyways. Be it PEE or FP7 you'll need to get used to AC one way or the other, but it isn't a huge problem.
Consider the fact that PEE is a bit heavier and larger. Transport could be expensive depending on where you live. In any case if you're serious about this I do recommend getting PEE or RE. It's silly, but just feels better being as close to arcade as possible.

Arcin gives you that little extra turntable accuracy and 1000mhz polling if it really matters. It's complicated and technical. There could be some loss at lower polling especially at 60fps, but unlikely anybody would feel that. Dao's PCB is fine. I personally prefer arcin, because it's clean and very well built. You can also build you own firmware if you want to add or change something, but obviously need to know how.

Get Sanwa keys and omron switches. Again you don't necessarily need them, but you wouldn't go back having tried them.

>>13803336

>>13803336
>>Get Sanwa keys and omron switches. Again you don't necessarily need them, but you wouldn't go back having tried them.
I really would love to see some real world comparisons between the "cheap" keys and sanwas. I totally understand springs and switches, But when it comes to shiny plungers, I really can't understand where people are coming from. Is it better manufacturing tolerances that make them wiggle slightly less?

>>13803317
>do you play one handed?
Yes. I'm still a beginner, but at the point I'm at right now (level 6), I don't feel like playing one-handed is holding me back.

>>13803968
It won't "hold you back" at easier charts, but you'll have to learn techniques for two hands eventually and when you do it's going to set you back really far.

Why even do this? What's the point?

>>13803968
>I don't feel like playing one-handed is holding me back.
I sure hope you've got some monster hands if you're planning to cover 7 keys with one hand.

Honestly, I don't get keyboard players. You can get a set of keys for 20 bucks, cut up some old wood for free, and design a turntable for 10 bucks. Having some basic woodworking skills is so handy, you go from spending ~250 bucks on a controller to 50-70. When you consider the cost of controllers for pop'n and SDVX as well, you can literally buy a garage full of tools and still save money.

>>13804005
isn't keyboard easier anyways since scratch is just a button.

>>13804005
I already said I'm planning to get a controller. There's no need to convince me of anything.

>>13804048
Has nothing to do with a controller or not but finger placements.

>>13804005
Because this will never be as quality as a real controller. Some people would rather play on keyboard longer and then upgrade fully to a real controller than upgrade in two smaller steps.

Also woodworking requires expensive tools that not everyone might have handy

>>13803872
Not sure what results you'd expect. They're both fine. It's about personal preference and feel. Dao keys with replacement strings can get stuck, but it gets better after some use.
I mean if you've used both there's a difference. It doesn't prevent you from playing and whatever differences there may be you'll get used to it, but there's still a difference. Nothing magical about Sanwa or Dao. They're simply...different.

Contrary to popular belief, "wahh we don't want new rhythm game players in the community" is not why things are hidden

>>13804822
"No public" is really meant to stop people from posting "lol look at this ac data i have from sows" on Twitter or Youtube where Konami can see it clear as day. I highly doubt Konami lurks in this thread, since people already talk about sows and AC data a shitton anyways.

Pendual Reveal Pt. 6

https://mega.co.nz/#!ucdEyZoR!iaCmxT-FBm0▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

Question: How in the fuck do arcades in Japan have Pendual cracked, and floating around for their own circles entire privately, yet I can very quickly find out who runs bemaniso, who runs psun, and what arcades running Pendual in America online?

Loose lips sink ships. Maybe keep hacking team and admin team private. Maybe stop parading skub around for invites and sherlock entire in background. You put a public face on pirates, guess who Konami will be looking for?

>>13804937
Because it's easier for a jap to privately get a japanese game cracked and keep it to themselves.

>>13802977
buy a dao and swap in an arcin

>>13804937
Thankfully there are still private places in America with Pendual as well. The biggest problem is that a couple of these people aren't exactly the best at keeping their mouths shut and eventually something will leak. I think the fact that western players are mostly casual contributes to the "IDC LEAK EBINN ::-DDD" mentality. Nothing is riding on them leaking, while Japanese players absolutely need to keep quiet or they won't be able to practice as much and keep pace.

>>13804937
how big is the torrent file

why isnt venny banned yet

>>13805403
Why did Snapps get banned?

>>13805403
For the same reason skibbles and aubrey aren't banned

>>13804832
Konami is already on SOWS so of course they don't need to lurk here. SOWS is a form of controlled opposition/trouble that they can keep everything centralized and closer tabs on with. Konami doesn't care enough to go to rl meetups and shut down private setups running Pendual, they just don't want most arcades running it.

How to fix Sows:
>ban all transtrenders except for tizzy
>ban all threads regarding identity politics
>remove xythar
>unban darqs since he still has working pendual anyway and learned his lesson and is a good resource
>ban a few specific people from seekrit irl meetups and the boards as they've proven themselves to be a liability w/ data and info
>make ac data torrents private and available via pm to users who've been around at least 5 years

>>13805347
disagreed, a lot is riding on americans leaking because that's an obvious sows ban and a boatload of community scorn
>>13805582
i think deleting the general forum section or anything not pertaining to games and music is good enough tbh.

Full set of buttons for 47 bucks.

I'm not convinced about drilling the 89mm holes, though. Is Pop'n the kind of game where you rest your hands frequently on the controller surface? I figured it was more of a hover style of play from what I've seen, meaning there's not much difference between mounting the buttons an extra 15mm above the surface, or mounting them below and adding 15mm onto the size of the case.

what do you guys think of jubeat saucer? when i was in japan last i played it and it was great

>>13805995
i'd like to try it but there aren't any arcades near me. looks like a fun time waster, but i don't think i'd really play it over iidx/pop'n

>>13805995
id like to play jubeat but im already divided up by iidx popn and sdvx
i feel like im already set and dont need more shit

>realize that I have e-amuse premium goy membership and I can add rivals
>add dolce

what other players should I add so I can realize I'm shit at timing

Anybody have experience with Dave and busters? I heard they have pump machines at most of their locations

>>13805995
There's something about Jubeat that repulses me. I think it's the excessive number of buttons, I can't really picture a clean "line". Even pop'n, with 9 keys, I can understand how you're supposed to approach high level songs just by sight reading.

Jubeat, though? With all the stuff going on, I feel like it's all just rote memorisation above a certain level. Does the arcade version even have a random feature? All the videos I see the tablet version, which looks easier.

>>13806492
>I feel like it's all just rote memorisation above a certain level.
I can confirm that is EXACTLY what jubeat is.

>>13806492
It's fun if you play it casually, not worrying about getting perfects and just playing along with the song.
I usually play a couple rounds of it when I go to the arcade.

>>13806476

>>13805557
Did aubrey ever finish paying people back or did he disappear again?

>>13799216
I believe they didn't put the videos there to cut down on the file size. There are lots of huge torrents for BMS' on sows though and I'm positive the IIDX ones have videos.

Doesn't really matter to much as the other guy said videos (especially ones ripped from IIDX for some reason) crash LR2 a lot.

>>13803553
>>13803882
a few threads ago it was just a picture, and now you want a video

i'd do it but I'm already on sows :^)

I feel like playing but I havent played in something like 3 months, and I skipped going to college today. I also find it difficult because I dont have a dedicated PC and I have to move my controller to my desk and set it up etc. Should I just do it and be prepared to fail? I was playing 8s before I kind of stopped.

>>13807225
Well then it's a win-win

Either we get Pendual or a week's worth of spank material

>>13807250
lol tizzy too

>>13808253
Definitely. You'll get back to where you were within a day or two. Maybe less. Nothing to really worry about. Keep playing and find a better way to set up your desk

I consistently clear 9s and I have nine 10s cleared but I still can't pass the end of Second Heaven's 8 chart.
Is this normal?

>>13808742
Yep!
I've been there not so long ago.

Just keep on playing different songs, warm up and eventually go back to Second Heaven
You'll clear it without noticing eventually

Once you got that done, go hard-clear it

>>13808742
try golden cross
some charts are just silly for their difficulty level

What IIDX level correlates to stepmania pad 13s played on keyboard?

>>13808798
Not very high. Even playing those retarded high BPM keyboard charts wouldn't transfer over to playing 12s on IIDX. It's because there are only so many patterns on 4 keys, even on random. And even if some muscle memory did transfer over, you'd have to relearn how to read those patterns again, since the scroll direction is reversed. So my advice is, if you want to play IIDX, then start sooner rather than later.

>>13808830
I'm not talking in regards to switching from one to the other, just a neutral comparison of difficulty assuming one plays both games

>>13808834
I don't play Stepmania anymore, but I'd say if it's doable on a pad, then it's probably no higher than a 3 on IIDX.

How should your fingers be for rising/falling chord patterns? I keep getting my fingers confused

>>13808923
>rising/falling chord patterns
such as?

pick it out on here
http://textage.cc/libscore/

>>13808890
You've never seen high level pad charts, have you?

>>13808936
Those charts might be more dense than low level IIDX charts, but I have a hard time believing anyone can clear tablets and not whatever the hardest pad song is on keyboard. Simply because streams and trills are piss easy on 4 keys, and because pad charts don't use jumps that much more heavily than low leveled IIDX chart use chords.

>>13808798
I would say level 6 or 7, but you're going to get vastly different answers from people depending on their experience with different games. I recall someone in the other thread claiming Expert on Guitar Hero corresponds to Level 11 on IIDX, which is laughable.

>>13807250
He's too busy begging for money and pretending his retarded special snowflake autism makes his being a piece of shit okay.

>>13805603

>>13804282
Still the best.

>>13810302
That game and MAX were better than any game after it. Obviously not from a technical standpoint, but they spent a ton of money on licensed music and the charts were superb in both games. Good Waifu, but I have to go with Yuni.

Is Splatoon any fun?

A friend of mine is selling his WiiU + Splatoon for a pretty good price and I've been considering picking it up after seeing all the praise it's been getting.

>>13813362
no, wii u owners were just that starved for anything to play

>>13813362
Get it so you can play Wonderful 101.

>>13804282

>>13813362
I personally think Splatoon is extremely fun. It's the only WiiU game I play and I think my purchase was well worth it. I would call myself an 'FPS player' as it is the main genre I've played as long as I've been playing video games. I think it has a very good approach to the genre of shooters by combining aspects of both aim and movement that remind me of a mashup of Quake, TF2 and Battlefield Heroes.

I have 400-500 hours logged so far.

>>13790701
Yes please.

What PC alternatives are there for Pop'n? MAME only goes up to Pop'n 9.

I think I've topped out my IIDX skill level. I made pretty consistent progress from when I started playing until I hit 10's.

I can clear the majority of 10's and have cleared three 11's but otherwise they all feel impossible. The gap between 10's and 11's feels larger than any other level.

I guess I'm OK with this.

>>13814195
turn on random
leave it on
sort by clear rate

two months ago i had five 11s cleared
one month ago 30
now 77

>>13814225
I'll give it a try. I've been hesitant to really try random but it seems I'll be stuck here forever otherwise.

Anyone here play Daigasso! band brothers P (3ds)?
I love games like this, but I was wondering if someone could share the splatoon song (via extdata sharing) or knew of a way to download the .bbp file.

As I'm on a NA 3ds I can't even buy tomatoes (the in-game currency)
And it seems you need to have claimed a tomato at least once so you can get the freebies.

I didn't need it to get past the beginner's hump, but I think I'd feel differently if I had to play the game at an actual arcade, spending money every time I get a game over.

Besides, casual players should be allowed to pick more than five songs, too.

>>13814464

>>13814464
Why are you talking about osu!?

>>13817567
its probably venny

>>13814195
This is not how it works. There's no real top in terms of possible skill. Only physical/mental limitations. Don't mind too much about the clears, but bp (bad-poor) instead. Keep practicing songs around ~100 bp even if you have cleared them. Try to fit in few harder songs daily as well. It takes tons of practice for your hands to develop efficiency and your eyes to recognize patterns. For some, breaking walls can literally take 100+ hours which is like 3 months at 1h/day practice. That's a long, long time. Try to practice as much as you can every day, but pay attention to fatigue. If you get to the point where you start to get worse on harder stuff, back down a a bit. Again, bp is a good way to track your consistency and see if you're progressing. If the song you're practicing is all over the place it's generally good to keep working on it.

If you are clearing 10s consistently most of the time at say 30-70 bp then all you can really do is push 11s until fatigue (when you start to do worse and worse) and then back down to 10s.

Keep it up. I can guarantee you'll get past the wall if you practice enough!

>>13816555

Why is IIDX's scoring system so strange?
I don't understand why it has the non-normalized ex score system and then the fake cosmetic steak-affected money score that means nothing but is still displayed for some reason, while pop'n just has one regular normalized score display that takes "ex score" and puts it into a nice clean, displayable and comparable score that otherwise appears like the money score

>>13818191
DDR used to have various different types of money score before eventually sticking with a more reasonable system at SuperNova and SuperNova 2. DDR still has a separate EX score that's different from money score, though money is what determines grade.

IIDX is basically the only game that still holds on to its ancient money score, which has remained pretty much unchanged since 5 key beatmania. Oh well.

>>13818191
and that's why no one cares about pop'n scores

>>13818226
Why? Because they make sense?

>>13818009
git gud

>>13818191
wtf is a money score

>>13818472
money score is the big number displayed in the score field during play, it's normalized out to 200k but streak affects it. It used to be the game's scoring method but ex took over and for some reason they left it in the game field. It's literally just a cosmetic at this point.

It's called "money score" because in older styles it was listed with a dollar sign, it was themed as your big DJ bucks I guess

Is anyone else uncomfortable with the amount of swearing in Bemani games? It's not uncommon to hear words like "niggas" and "motherfuckers" in songs, as well as references to sex and drugs.

Is that really necessary in what are otherwise kid-friendly rhythm games?

>>13818545

So the guy with the fake pendual leak fucked off in the end, eh? Was pretty obvious it's not legit with the attentionwhoring "2 parts a day" thing

>>13819376
Of course it was obvious, even if it was true, there isn't any launcher to play the game, is just a shitty ruse.

>>13818733
Sometimes I can feel sweat dripping down my sides after a few rounds of IIDX and it's not even like I'm a fat fuck.

>>13819895
sure thing fatty

>>13816555

>>13816555
>Does anyone legitimately need beginner?
It's honestly not a bad idea for passerbys who still want to try it out. Due to Round 1's popping up in a lot of locations, it will help make the game a little more accessible to a western audience. The default folder that opens up is the one from the most recent game, and it would feel pretty shitty as a person who hasn't played these games to choose a 2/3 and get torn to pieces off the bat.

pop'n has had 5-line the default for those who don't play with eamuse for a while now I think.

>>13820952
>Due to Round 1's popping up in a lot of locations, it will help make the game a little more accessible to a western audience
no, those people never even make it past the mode select screen
the only randoms i've ever seen even attempt to play were a couple who swiped one credit, tried to play 2p mode and got stuck at the "player 2 insert a credit" screen
everyone else just sees the cab, taps the buttons, spins the turntable a bit and walks off

kinda funny how groove coaster, which is a pretty minor game from a way less relevant company, has a full, non-engrishy localization while konami still can't be assed to bother with one
