SDVX4 when

been looking for a decent cheap dance pad, came across http://dancepadmania.com/ which looks pretty good

which version should i get? is the one with the foam pad inside worth the $40 extra?

>>15656448
you should be able to get a foam-filled pad for about $50, honestly. I'd look somewhere else.

>>15656431
never
we'll be playing SDVX3 forever

virgoo soon

>>15656448
If you can play 9s/10s skip foam pads, they will break on you far too quickly to be worth it. Look into buying a used hard pad, or even saving up for an arcade cabinet. There's a DDR group on facebook with some resources on this.

>>15656448
>>15656630
This is old scale 9s/10s, so 13-15 new DDR scale.

>>15656630
>>15656636
ive been going to round1 to play because they just got DDRA last month. I can play 8s and 9s and some 10s

>>15656675
you'll do fine with a foam pad then

>>15656581

>shipped from ching chong to ping pong

Hopefully customs doesn't rape your controller

>>15656895
it's coming to america eventually if that's not clear

according to virgoos site their shipping process gets stuff to the us no problem

>>15656616
Sanwa's rakuten shop is the cheapest I've found, with switches being 270¥ a pop and shipping is reasonable for something light like switches.

Still asking for the menu navigation or some help to turn on the special dancers in Taiko no Tatsujin Plus for Android.

Keep seeing previews for the Touhou Project collaboration with them included, or they may have just been edited.

tfw no sdvx iii icon

>>15656999
Does that version let you pick dancers manually? In all other versions it's tied to the song - Miku songs get Miku, Touhou songs get Touhou etc.

>>15657090
No, it doesn't let you pick them manually and I think it's the same as the arcades.

But they won't show up for me. oddly enough. Every song that was part of the Touhou. or iM@S, pack never has the special dancers show up, even though the content previews show them.

>>15656630
You should add stuff about Skill Analyzer for SDVX because most people won't know about it. For example:

Hey, I can only play X diffficulty for my first and second song, what gives?

Difficulties for your first two songs are capped by your skill level. Successfully complete a Skill Analyzer course to increase the max level you can play for your first two songs.

Probably soon. We got like 4 episodes in the last 2 weeks and 3 more coming this week.

Which one of you called her a slut?

>>15657162
Probably those faggots who think the cow whose tits are almost bursting out of her clothes is cute.

Wew, my autism is triggered.

>>15657090
I'm now thinking that the Android version is missing the special dancers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M86RTBECQ7g

The iOS version has a lot more songs and I am now seeing videos that include some special dancers like Miku. Makes me wonder why the Android version is taking so long to catch up to the total amount o

>>15657162
>>15657181
Grace is a slut

Rasis is cute

deal with it

Rasis is just tits on a character

and not even well drawn tits at that

>>15657129
don't play as much SDVX so it's best if someone else wrote a mini-guide for that one. I'll edit everything together if someone does it.

>>15657191
>perfecting an easy chart is worth just as many points as perfecting a hard chart

>>15657247
Look at rasis and tell me she isn't the biggest fucking whore in any BEMANI game.

>>15657275

Those tits are absolutely disgusting

Speaking of bikinis, is there a gallery of the bikini results images from older iidx styles?

>>15657275
I love how the NOV and ADV jackets for this song are just zooming in on her tits, if I remember correctly.

Is buying a 144hz monitor for lr2 worth it?

>>15657294
The NOV and ADV jackets has a tamaneko (that catball from dai uchuu stage) blocking her chest too.

Also post lewd jackets

>>15657324

>>15657315
No, for rhythm games you ALWAYS want 60hz

Do voltex cabs in real life reflect a better distribution of clear rates than on PSun?

Clear rates for Gravity Wars are all way too high compared to Infinite Infection, even though the songs are way harder.

I'm guessing just a lot more people have access to and are using Infinite Infection.

>>15657277
pedos please leave

Where can I go to get my charts for Lunatic Rave 2, and is there anyone who has made a beginners guide to navigating the HUD and other basics?

>>15657439
I'd say no. It's the same case here. More people having access to a song would result in a lower clear rate since older songs are dirt cheap compared to new ones.

The 2 tenkaichi songs are accurate though. Both are tough 15s with a 50%ish clear rate. Also you don't even need to buy those 2 songs at all.

How does konami not rape arcades running stolen data in US?

>>15657514
konami isn't actually aware that the USA exists

DDR A was just a simple error that got way too far before somebody noticed it

>>15657519
Do you need some sort of license for operating arcade? Or do illegal arcades just tell authorities "yeah we will be totally only running stepmania here"?

>>15657530
Arcades are dead, if you're running a proper cab with illegal data it's not like some cop is going to burst in and say "WHERE IS DJ HACKERS?"

>>15657530
nobody even knows or cares besides the people themselves who crack the data, that's the thing.

How tedious is it to legitimately unlock every song? How many dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars must you spend on the game?

>>15657454

>Where can I go to get my charts for Lunatic Rave 2

Literally last thread

>is there anyone who has made a beginners guide to navigating the HUD and other basics?

http://vsrg.club/?page_id=84

>>15657537
Lots. Some songs also have special requirements before you can even buy them. The SDVX handy guide have them listed.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ctqn8DSBSyarou5eA6-dufDL_ZKUDCRSiANDocTNrYM/edit#gid=0

Also don't get me started on Infinite Blaster.

>>15657546
Sometimes I think about how great it would be to play on cab, but then I remember how awful the progression is.

>>15657450

fuck you

Does anyone else often lack motivation to play? I have to store my controller in my cupboard because I don't have much room on my desk and have to bring it out whenever I want to play.

>>15657755
That's your problem. If you make it easy to get ready to play, you'll find it easy to play more often.

>>15657755
Needing breaks is normal, sometimes the wall is mental and you just need to walk away for a bit. Try just not touching the game for a week or so and then come back.

>>15657755

This is why a lot of people have entire setups dedicated only to rhythm games.

On the contrary, I barely touch my regular gaming computer anymore.

>>15657661

Being sexually attracted to children isn't right. You need help, sir.

>>15657772
They're not children you fucking clown

Best experience I've had in a rhythm game so far

>>15657763
I tried having my controller stored on my desk but it damaged the turntable

>>15657765
I havent played properly for over 8 months. I try again every few months but usually just play for 20 minutes then stop.

>>15657812

Being disgusted by larges breasts isn't right either. You don't have to like cowtits, but Rasis' bust is perfectly suited for the rearing of cute, brightly colored children.

Also, I tried to get quads

>>15657275
she's literally the best bemani girl

>tfw you hit the desk so hard SDVX crashes

Must be some form of shock protect on my hard drive or something. I have to admit though, I kinda like it. It's like a built-in auto rage quit.

Unless of course I passed something hard or got a AAA in my set, then it makes me even more angry cause they don't get recorded till the end of the set.

>>15658025
what song/level?

>>15658025
>getting angry at sdvx
How?????

>>15658025
First of all, scores save after the result screen, not at the end of the session.

Secondly, this: >>15658051

>beachside, long train running and now rebounce SPA are all 12s
>i can pass beachside and long train despite being at 10 level, and rebounce looks piss simple
Should be 11 desu

>>15657324
am.... am I doing it right?

>>15658080

You are.

>>15658033

I don't know. I think it was an entry level 15 though.

>>15658056

I've lost scores this way. I'm 99% certain you have to complete a set for them to save.

And it's hard not to get pissed when you fuck up a laser inversion so literally everything else that follows is wrong. You can go from 80% to 30% in like 3 or 4 measures. Lasers are weighted way too heavily in SDVX.
I know it's what makes the game unique but fucking scale that shit back by 20 or 30%.

One fucked up laser can ruin a whole run.

>>15658051
Probably failing a skill analyzer course with something like 97%

>>15658080

>>15657324

>new licenses added to DDR
>they're all vocaloid songs

DDR has been getting a bit too anime lately

>>15658025
Classic Angry Guy!

>>15657989
I'm indifferent toward cowtits and Rasis' tits are an absolute eyesore to look at. There are good, sensical tits and bad, shoddily drawn tits wrapped in tits-emphasizing garment and Rasis has all of the latter.

Grace is superior by virtue of not having any of that fuckery.

>>15658217

>>15657152
I don't understand. Are these episodes some history for the game?

why doesnt round1 have eclale?

What are some good rhythm games for broke NEETs that can't afford a DAO or a Virgoo like me?

>>15659016
osu

>>15659016

Stepmania, Keyboard LR2, Keyboard KShoot, DJ Hero can be had pretty cheap, also Osu! and its variants

>>15658942
maybe because it has more licensed music in it? idk

>>15658935
It's a way to unlock some new songs. They have a visual novel style to them when you play. There's a recap for episodes 0 (prologue) to 15 on the official site.

9 and 10 has a special video at the end when you complete them.

>>15658116

You don't have to complete a set. I've been playing with the fake-pfree hexedit thing and my scores are still saving even though I'm never ending the set.

>>15658116

>Angry Guy™

It's not funny anymore faggot

I think its self-deprecating.

How do u guys hit the bt's in sdvx
I use middle ring for the outer ones and index for the inner ones

>>15659564

How big are your hands? I use Index Ring and occasionally Pinky. My Middle fingers never do anything.

>>15659574
Idk I always thought I had dainty hands desu
When I say ring middle I mean ring and middle finger together in the bt
I also find myself missing the fx buttons during some longer lasers but that's just from inexperience with 13+ songs

>>15659564
Same here. My thumbs go directly to the FX buttons.

My current problem is sometimes my right hand just moves to the C or D BT while there is a right knob causing me to fuck up the section.

t. skill analyzer 7 with some babby 15 clears

i had my first decently-sized session of playing iidx today and i had to take little breaks because i was getting a little tightening in my wrist

i play 2p and most often using left ring for 1, middle for 2, thumb for 3 and im pretty sure this is causing me the discomfort

is this bad? how can i change my form? in parts where they have a 1 on every beat what finger should i be using? i also find it really hard to press the keys with my pinky, theyre heavy!

im really new and can only pass 6's, thanks in advance for tips. i regret using cherry reds at home, now every button feels really stiff and my fingers are weak

>>15659771
Just use your pinky on 1. It takes a little adjusting but it'll really help.
Do you rest your hand on the controller/machine? If so, you should definitely stop that. Keep them hovering above the keys. that gives you a little more power from your arms when you come down on the keys too.

>>15659564
Whatever is available at the time.

>>15659805

yeah this. keep both hands above the controller and try not to tighten up your muscles.

also, high level play will require you to change hand placement to different styles. Get comfortable with using different fingers on different keys, and try to make yourself hit notes in new ways to find out what works. It will seem strange if you start doing this before the 11 wall, but oh boy does it pay off later.

>>15660097

also, when you're going back and playing songs you've cleared, set it to random. you won't get good nearly as fast if you don't expose yourself to new patterns

Trying to set up LR2

Where the heck do I put songs

>>15660617
Anywhere as long as you set the place you put it as your song folder. on the program's menu before you start it.

Read the fucking guide

>>15660638
I am simultaneously reading two separate guides but both of them are confusing

rip ok hope I don't screw this up

>>15660656
well it uh

it ran for 0.5 seconds and then this happened

i only play osu! cause i'm too computer illiterate for all this

>>15660414
Because she's a slut.

>>15656630
pls add infinitas to your pastebin.

>>15660117
thanks for the advice!

yeah i figured as much about changing up hand placement. it's the reason why so many rhythm game just aren't fun on kb. the controllers get in your way and you have to think about how to hit the buttons and not just what buttons to hit

hopefully i get enough money from my birthday to buy a controller, going to the arcade against my better judgement is already making me poor

>>15660687
ok, got it to work somehow.

What's the best keybinding for a total noob to iidx?

>>15660966
sdf space jkl and left and right shift for scratches
there was actually a pic showing the most used setups for bms keyboard players too so someone will probs post that

>>15660977
ok gotcha
can I use left shift for scratches? it makes more visual sense to me since the turntable's on the left of the screen.

also, uh, where can I find easier songs? Already can't read the easiest difficulties of the 3 songs I download already...

>>15660990
Here's a torrent that is like 50 gigs that has most of the songs from any scale or whatever the shit is called in LR2.

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:BZ3GDLY7X3CRA2QGQJ7XOLG6UJALULZB&dn=Insane%20BMS.zip&tr=http%3a%2f%2fexodus.desync.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.prq.to%3a80%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2fwww.e180.ru%2ftorr%2fannounce.php&tr=http%3a%2f%2finferno.demonoid.me%3a3394%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2finferno.demonoid.me%3a3395%2fannounce&tr=http%3a%2f%2finferno.demonoid.me%3a3396%2fannounce

The rar is compressed by a korean person so you need to run your computer under korean locale for a bit to unzip it or else most of the folders are gonna be fucking gibberish.

Also look into and install GLassist. There's a guide on reddit to install it if you're computer illiterate and I highly recommend it because the reason why you're probably having issues is that the songs you've downloaded are probably rated on a different scale.

A 1 in the insane scale is equal to about 12.3 on the normal scale. So you're probably clicking on songs that are listed 1-2 but are actually 12. GLassist creates a folder for you that sorts all these songs to their respective scale. This is also better than trying to actually open up the 50GB folder ingame which will absolutely freeze your game for like 15 seconds every time you try.

>>15660990
no left shift scratch wont work trust me, you'll thank me later.

>>15660990
You can use either shift or both. It is the year 2016 but still I have to say make sure sticky keys is off.

>>15661012
ok, downloading this torrent might take me ten years but i'm doing it

when I unzip this do I just change the non-unicode locale to Korean? and then am I good changing it back to Japanese? or does my entire computer need to be in Korean

and alright thanks I'll definitely look for that guide because I definitely am computer illiterate

>>15661013

the lyrics of mermaid girl are english? jesus the pronunciation is so japanese heh, i always thought it was japanese since i couldnt understand anything other than 'mermaid girl'

>>15661365

I've always been kind of fascinated with how much English is in the UIs of jap games.
Just imagine if stuff like 'combo' 'great' etc were in some Japanese kanji but were so commonplace English speakers didn't care

>>15661374
yeah, it would be interesting to have your first language be anything other than english

as people who speak english in an english speaking world we'll never know what its like, but its also super convenient lol

Thank you! <3

Are these in any sort of order in terms of difficulty from left to right?

>>15663219
Not really just pay attention to the border color. Blue=overall, green=bt, red=knobs I think

>>15663219
Left to right is just sorted by border colour and then alphabetically.

Annoyingly the English titles are first then the Japanese titles, which is different to how they're sorted by title ingame, but the same as sdvx.in

Grace looks good in Rasis's very first outfit

>love rhythm games
>can't play them because of my obsessive–compulsive disorder
JUST

>>15663793
Hey man, I feel ya; I have pretty bad OCD and Tourettes, yet my favorite games are all stuff like shmups and rhythm games. Kind of a cruel irony.

If it's any consolation, these games are all about practicing and practicing until you get that one perfect credit.

You'll always have another shot at doing well on a song, and even if you're at an inherent disadvantage because you just *have* to suddenly splay your hands all over the controller/keyboard or *have* to double tap a given key during a really dense note pattern (this happens so often it isn't funny), if you build up enough skill you can compensate for it.

>>15663820
Thank you senpai but it's really frustrating. Sometimes I think I should just quit since I can't play a single song without this shit. I'll keep trying anway

>>15663838
Keep trying kohai; even if you can't get rid of any compulsions that screw you up time to time, the better you get at the game, the better you'll be able to compensate for any mistakes you make because of them.

I still can't go one song without suddenly splaying my hands all over the keyboard and fucking up the combo, but I can still do pretty decent on 8 charts, and I'm continuing to improve.

>>15663885
Thanks and good luck, Anon

>>15663901
Same to you man.

Remember, important thing is to have fun with it and not fret too much over getting AAAs and full combos; doing pretty well across many songs is better than doing absolutely perfect on only a few songs

which part

the joke is primarily tendonitis

it makes your fingers crack horribly which I unfortunately know from experience

>>15662438
They usually don't blur their name and scores, they blur everyone but their name and scores.

It's a Japanese proper etiquette thing to not have people scores you didn't get permission to put in your video/picture even if it is not illegal.

M!tsuba for example doesn't blur F.A's score but everyone else yes.

>>15664446
You should really take care of your fingers/hands/wrists. Stretching your hands and doing warm ups before playing goes a long way.

>>15664537

There's Christmas and Valentine's Day for sure. I also believe there's one for Halloween or thereabout.

There is also freeleeches for staff/admin birthdays. One in early June for Sherl0k's. Anything beyond that I'm unsure of.

I'm shocked there wasn't one for 4th of July. I feel like there was going to be, but because I asked on IRC there wasn't.

It's actually a massive hassle for me to play KSM since for whatever reason the frame rate drops massively when USB devices are plugged in.

Seriously, how badly do you have to screw up programming for that to be a thing?

So, am I missing something here?

When I enable the hidden or sudden mods in LR2, the notes just don't show up at all anywhere on screen.

>>15665230

Hidden means the notes are hiding, of course you can't see them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYC1fKGYKOw

m!tsba cup is on boys

>>15665216
idk but the way it handles knob inputs eels like shite

>>15665241

I was under the impression that hidden meant that notes would show up at the top of the screen, then vanish as they descend.

>>15665037
No, because you'll get used to mashing instead of reading properly, go back to IIDX, and end up clearing songs with a C because you have no regard for timing.

>>15657514
Nobody cares
The guys who make music for IIDX have been to arcades running omni
Plus arcades have been and will probably continue to run cracks, as obvious as they may be.

>>15665354
Arcades running omni in Asia, I mean.

Sage for doublepost

>>15665051
>>15665334
t-then what am I supposed to do

It's not just that I can't pass a single iidx song-- I can't read them at all. It feels like my brain can't even process the notes.

It's completely my fault, of course, because I started my rhythm game "career" just playing osu standard. I'm pretty good at it, too, but its skills don't transfer over to literally any other game. I'm not used to scrolling notes, and I'm definitely not used to having to hit more than one note at a time. But I can play easy mania songs, so I figured that was the simplest way to progress. Is there something else I should do instead?

>>15665396
if you have to get used to scrolling notes, play stepmania

there's only four of them and it's not an embarrassing shit game like osu is

>>15665396

That's just how it is, low level iidx songs rarely have chords. You just keep playing

I played osumania 7k and it didn't really help me in iidx that much since the controller is so different

>>15665396
i started with osu standard and i learned iidx just fine, stop being a little bitch

>>15665402
I do play stepmania a little, but I'm horrendously bad at it. Spose I just need to keep practicing.

>>15665405
I have the keyboard layout exactly the same for both at the moment. Can't really afford a legit controller...

>>15665408
I'll stop being a lil bitch if you tell me how you did it

>>15665445
>I'll stop being a lil bitch if you tell me how you did it

play

the

fucking

game

>>15665455
I'm trying dude but at the moment it feels like trying to learn to swim by being thrown in the ocean during a hurricane

>>15665445
Just keep playing. There's no magic trick. You're gonna be dog shit and you play to get better until you overcome your current wall til you reach your next wall.

This will repeat many times throughout your years to get kaiden and eventually trying to AAA a bunch of songs. Even when you reach that point you'll always feel like you're shit at the game.

Just look at the discord score page, people downtalk themselves getting AAAs on 12s because they fucked up and know they could do better. That feeling of doing bad will never go away.

>>15665057

>>15665103
Open source svdx sim when?

>>15665469
t-thanks that's optimistic

>>15665462
that's the iidx experience all the way through

it might not be the game for you

>>15665476
No one wants to because ksm exists. It is not great but no one wants to actually write it themselves. It's relatively time consuming and niche. Also the idea of working on accurate timing in a rhythm game just sounds like a nightmare I rather not deal with even after reading up ways people worked around this.


>>15665478
No reason to lie, it's good to know what you are getting into. Look at this way, there is no actual downside to losing outside of arcades. It was much harder to learn rhythm games back then because of all the credit feed. For the longest time no one did any progress except on the final stage.

>>15665476
Soon

>>15665615
Soon or Soon™?

>>15665650
Supposedly just Soon. ED2 is Soon™ though.

how do i turn on the fine high speed in copula?

this might seem like a niche question (it is) but is there a way to quickly quit out of songs on ddrmax for ps2 while leaving the game in event mode? there are two relevant options from what i can see, event mode on/off and fail instantly/at end, and i noticed that the fail setting is ignored when event mode is on. i'm trying to score on certain songs and i want a way to retry without: waiting for the whole song to play out in event mode or: going through all the failed, game over, and menu screens in regular mode

>>15665462
if you don't enjoy the experience of the game being forever too hard for you to play then iidx is not the game for you

>>15665661
Like someone is actually working on something? Also, what's ED2? I'm not too familiar with the rhythm game scene.

>>15665893
Yeah, there's an open source one being worked on. ED2 stands for Effect Drive 2 and is being made by some Jap who's busy with school, hence Soon™.

>>15663721

Watching good players is cool.

>>15665786
I think you can force a song to fail early by holding Select or something.

So, I still can't figure out how to get Hidden or Sudden mods working in LR2, they just make notes invisible altogether.

I thought that hidden only makes notes invisible in the lower half of the screen while sudden makes the upper half invisible?

>>15667949
As far as I know LR2 doesn't actually let you set a green number with hidden/sudden mods. It'll only let you use a generic lane cover and a speed multiplier.
I could be super wrong though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is the game we need

>>15668190

Speaking of goofy, hypothetical rhythm games, I had a dream a few night ago about a WAY too complicated game that basically was a amalgamation of several different ones.

I made a mock up of the controller and UI for example. I'll explain a few things.

The 3 horizontal buttons and 6 vertical buttons are those from IIDX.

The top 3 are a crossover type deal. They control that green line, which is always in the middle, left, or right.
The bottom 6 are basically just 1 row, 6 key IIDX, they obvious do the 6 lanes and grey notes.

Between them in is a Chuunithm style touch pad. they control the yellow and purple whatever the fuck word you'd use to describe them. Each half is only that one color but they can work together to form a solid line/shape.

Then finally the most interesting part. The knobs. Very similar to SDVX but with an Otoiroha twist. The lasers move in three dimensions. I tried my best to illustrate this.
And the knobs are basically joysticks so it's like a flight simulator or something.

Pretty fucking silly. But I'd play it.

Also, I only had all this shit in the UI at once to illustrate it, in an actual song you won't be doing everything at once like shown.

>>15668352
Needs a turntable, the most fun part about 2dx

>>15668369
Speaking of, are you ready for some fun?

Building an IIDX controller. Anyone know good code for a rotary encoder turntable?

>>15668561
Forgot to mention, using an Arduino Mega but will probably move to a Leo.

So I'm playing omnimix and ever since I have, the My Best pacemaker has been gone. I know I have to set the Target pacemaker every time I play but I don't because only having the two bars there looks silly.

Is there an option for it I need to turn on or what? When I played vanilla it was always just there by default.

why are sanwa buttons for iidx/sdvx controllers so expensive when sanwa buttons for arcade sticks are only $2.50 each

>>15668768

Supply/Demand probably. Go into any arcade and count how many IIDX/SDVX buttons there are versus those round fighting game ones.

It's probably 1 to 100. They sell more so they make more so they're cheaper.

sows invite pls

>>15668352
>flight simulator

I actually had a dream for a flight simulator based game

it looks like such

Kind of hard to explain but basically you hit the corresponding buttons, so it's kind of like washing machines, but the center red thing is a flight stick and occasionally the entire "tunnel" that you're traveling down will pitch up or down or do barrel rolls and you'll have to push the stick in that direction while still hitting buttons or something.

It's basically a ripoff of several ripoffs.

>>15669063
no :3

>>15669071
forgot to mention

on the bright side you get to call hi-speed "mach speed" which is totally cooler desu

>>15669071
Oh hey, i recall you posting this before somewhere.

I have an idea for a arcade rhythm lightgun game where you dual-wield lightguns and have to shoot markers at the right moment as they appear on screen; you would be scored based on timing and how close to the center you hit the markers.

Also you could have hold markers where you keep one gun on a target while shooting others with the free gun, you could have markers that require a specific gun (or both at once), and of course there would be streams of markers you have to shoot in rapid succession

How about a rhythm game where you press buttons and a fleshlight strokes your dick to the beat of the song?

>>15669455

>>15670622
What's your definition of the 11 wall? Clearing every one of them?

I'd say you broke it when you can pass stuff like quasar SPA.

>>15670704

I can't do Quasar. I can damn near AA it, but shit gets just a little too dense near the end.

>>15670710
>>15670704

Also, I wouldn't say "Clearing every one of them", but certainly not being blown the fuck out by any of them.

I don't mind not being able to clear swaths of 11.8+ songs. Just as long as I can come even vaguely close to passing.

Right now there are 11.5s that fuck me over something fierce. I expect needing to clear around 200 before I can consider myself over the wall.

Also clearing at least one 12.

>>15670781

>>15671311
Look at it this way, if the arcade it's in isn't a bunch of faggots you can ask them to add more music to the Stepmania cab, the nearest good DDR cab for me is running stepmania too and after asking they added a HUGE amount of music (most of it is DDR (1st) to DDR A (current stuff)

Finally decided I should play DDR with my feet instead of sticking to Stepmania on the keyboard. Dug up my old PS1, DDR Konamix, and the dancepad, and was really excited to play. But the problem is my PS1 won't turn on at all. Is it worth trying to fix or should I just buy a used one off of Amazon? It hurts to spend even $25 on a 22-year-old console, but I don't know the first thing about fixing electronics.

>>15674153
Why is freedom dive such a good song

why is xi so based

>>15677066
well desu you're better off buying a playstation 2 so you can play way more DDR games

ps1 has like

3 games I think? at least in america. (1st, Konamix, Disney Mix)

ps2 gets you access to max, max2, extreme, extreme 2, supernova, supernova 2, and even X and X2, and even ITG 1.

>>15677090
Hmm that's fair

Are those games easy enough to get? I know I looked up Konamix the other day and was shocked at how much it's still selling for.

>>15677121
From the look of it, they'll run you nothing more than the cost of shipping on Amazon.

All my copies were purchased new back in the day, except for a couple that I got from Gamestops when they were liquidating the last of their PS2 inventory.

>>15671926
i always warm up with Cosmic Cat another

>>15677134
Not sure where you're seeing this; all the games are like $40 on Amazon as far as I can see

That's really expensive...

>>15677199
You're not looking at the "other sellers new and used" option.

>>15677201
Ah shit yeah I found where Amazon was hiding that button

Guess I'm willing to spend $60 on a PS2 if it means many more years of rhythm gaming

Get the japanese version of extreme if you can. It's a direct port of the arcade version, so it has everything up to then on it.

So following the advices of the people here I improved in DDR tremendously.

And every time I play there's always a group of people that stop to watch. Be a father with his kids or a group of teenagers. It seems people actually enjoy watching DDR being played seriously. I imagine by the time I start beating actually hard charts there will be clapping.

Playing on 1x makes the game too slow and made me fail the final song. Guess I'll leave it at 1.5x from now on.

Hardest song I cleared was Basic Xepher I think, which seems to be a 7 on the new scale. I'm still painfully beginner. That chart has a lot of double notes though so I jumped like crazy. It was during this song that some dude decided to stop and watch.

And I definitely plan to get a pad because my arcade's machine is a pretty old Supernova and I want to play the newer songs.

>>15679221
Songs after supernova get pretty eh.
There's still some standout great ones, and of course all the highest difficulty songs are there, but apart from that. Eh.

I genuinely believe DJ Hero is a legitimate game and deserves ti be discussed here.

I wish it weren't dead.

>>15679266
So discuss it.
My main problem with is was that after you FC Groundhog Day and Beats and Pieces, there's nowhere to go. With IIDX there's always a step up. Even Dolce can't PGREAT 100% of the notes.

This also occurs on my home setup but I literally attached skateboard grip tape to my turntable so it's not an issue.

>People melting all over the buttons

Goddamnit Arcades are gross.

>>15680217
At least I try to wipe them off when I'm done for the next person.

Fuck genetics.

I wish the series didn't die so early, they might've gotten around to doing crazier shit. Doubles mode with that crossfader would be interesting.

>>15678989
how do you get this? i have the rasis yukata navigator that i got for 30 stamps

>>15680348
so like, Crackin DJ with buttons?

>>15664610
Really?

>>15680567
There's another set of stamps you get once a day. Fill that up (needs 30) and you'll get her.

>>15680888
>30 days

well fuck you too konami i live 50 minutes from round 1

>>15680197
How do you people sweat so much? i can play for an hour straight and maybe have somewhat sweaty armpits, but my hands stay dry.

>>15681233
It's also like 28 days left I think.

>>15681313
It's summer, arcades are hot, and there are a lot of people.

>>15681233
thats horrible dude, im so sorry
you must live a hard life

>>15681313
It just happens to some people more than others. I sweat like crazy when I'm at the arcade, I usually bring one or more towels and drink lots of water. I do play DDR a lot though so that doesn't help.

>>15681341
yeah it's horrible i'd probably kill myself if there weren't a new r1 location opening this year 10 minutes from my house

>>15681313
Genetics. It's kind of awful and you end up having to carry a towel everywhere to wipe up your hand sweat.

It's not even a thing that happens when I'm tense or anything, I'm sweating all over the keyboard right now and it's not even hot out.

>>15681350
Same here. Playing many 14-15s in Museca in a row gets me drenched. Fortunately sweaty hands doesn't affect that game as much as SDVX or IIDX.

If it gets too much I'll just sit in front of a fan for like 10 minutes.

i would kill for a R1 to open nearby but my state is fucking barren so itll probably never happen

this sweat talk is really gross!

anybodys feet or ankles get sore while playing?

im not tall, just 5'9 but i have to bend my knees to play sdvx and iidx comfortably. i usually end up wirh one of my feet feeling real bad after playing a few sets

also, where do people rest their foot for the pedal in museca? its so sensitive you cant reall have your foot above it or else your balancing on one foot. also, keeping my heel on the ground toe on the pedal really doesnt feel good

i usually only stand up for this long at cons, im not prepared

>>15683851
If you've played drummania you'd know it's ok to leave your foot down on the pedal.

>>15684064
with that it's easy ti rest it above since youre sitting! the problem is that resting it on the pedal only leaved you 1 foot to stand on

Is there a video of someone taking apart an SDVX Sanwa button? I'm curious about the inside of it (how they stabilise the button itself).

Has anyone else had a problem with IIDX PS2 games where they'll let you play 1-2 songs, then the next time you start a song, the game hangs on the "displaying the song name and letting you set-up hispeed and lanecover" screen.
