1st for mare nectaris sounds shitty

I do not recognise this semen demon.

random is cheating

I remembered playing on offline IIDX machines (pre Tricoro) so getting dan ranks means nothing as you can't save them anyways.

I kept on clearing more and more stuff so I never noticed the safari being a wall.

>tucking destroying songs that you ended with 0% on the clear meter the day before
God I think this feels better than any other accomplishments I've ever made in video games

>>17376412
agreed, one of the most headass songs

Dear diary, today I played IIDX like shit but I'm catching up with my main rival, we're almost split 50/50

This european speedrunning event is going on right now, and apparently they're havingm a SDVX exhibition tomorrow.

Does anyone know about it? Are they using arcade data or kshoot?

>>17377306
runner is: Therio (twitchtv/theriooo)

looks like he practices on ksm at least

>>17377216
Wish i had a rival

>>17377306
what time?

>>17377495

About 19 hours from now on the 2nd stream

Is there a reason I never see DJMax mentioned in these threads? I really like it.

>>17377620
gook trash

this song is fucking great

>>17377620
djmax sucks

generic music, generic gameplay

Is that silver ring around a dao turntable metal?

>>17376666
I dunno, but I really like how the artist has her sitting so that the 100¥ slot is right between her legs. Really makes you think.

>>17377930
Yes

>>17377950
Eww I bet the coin slot is pretty smelly then. I wonder what it smells like haha

How the fuck are there so many BMS charts and who are the people making all of them?

>>17378098
The community is big, dedicated and has been around for more than ten years, what's so surprising about it?
>who are the people making all of them?
Literally anyone can chart something and submit it to IR as long as it's keysounded. Though the good stuff tends to be from the same people every time.

>>17378185
>The community is big
really?
from the leaderboards it doesn't look that big. or do most people not play online?

Does the clear rate go by lamps, or does it still lower the ratio ever so slightly if you've already cleared it but then fail it a bunch after?

Either way it's not too incredibly useful considering I can easily clear some 30% ones and get wrecked by some 80% ones

>>17378262
Depends what you're playing, most charts in Insane have at least a couple thousands of players in them.

>arcade tech replaced the pop'n buttons with shittier ones
>they get stuck way more often now

Why would anyone do that

すーごいー

Anyone else feel like just watching other people play helps you improve?

>>17378930
Even just watching still exercises your reading ability.

>>17377362
Don't be shy, ask people around

>>17381201
They said their plan was to play cloud but I guess it was having troubles getting online?

>>17381201
>Has he said anything stupid yet
He's currently playing some IIDX tracks in KSM, which is pretty stupid.

What a fitting end. Now Konami can sue and kill the event.

I think they were gonna do that but it didn't work out so they had to play ksm

>AA it

Every time.

>Turn on Mirror
>Finally beat Safari

Huh.

Boy randoms that put everything on one hand sure are my favorite
Like even something that should be simple like 5+7, 6, 5+7, 6 that would be easy kill me, and my hands are too retarded to break out of a static playstyle to help with stuff like that

>AAing Dominion H

YaymI'm gonna stop now gottamleave on amgood note.

Just got one of those 2-in-1 laptops with a touch screen. What rhythm games can I play on this that aren't osu?

>>17381754
nothing

i know what you're thinking and the touchhooks don't work that way

>>17381754
reflecbeat

>>17381763
fair enough i guess, why? is it because of the input lag or something?

>>17378289
My assumption is that it goes by lamps on the basis of being played only in the current release.

If it was lamps over all releases, there'd be no charts with No Data and rates wouldn't significantly go down as they did during the first few weeks after release, nor would they stabilize as they have now if they accounted all plays.

>Reminder that clears don't mean shit
Too bad it's the only thing that actually saves on e-Amusement from version to version in IIDX.

>>17382625
Nice try, but I have mostly As on my currently level and AAs on almost everything below and AAAs on the easy shit.

>>17382625
>It makes things easier, same as random

t. I only play 10s

reminder that museca is secretly the patricians' game of choice

>>17382936
Doesn't really look fun to me. If I want big buttons I'd play pop'n, and if I wanted to spin shit I'd play iidx or sdvx

Which game is popular on PC?

>>17382994
Osu!

>>17382553
I personally feel better about clearing with a B than failing with an A. I don't try to argue that the former is better, but I really don't care how well I score on a song if I fail it.

>>17382936
>non keysounded
Trash.

>>17383032
yeah that's a great song and it's really fucking fun to play

please don't tell me i'm the only one that does this

I used to play pop'n 13 and 14 on the PS2 a lot a few years ago using the minicon and really loved both. I haven't played for years, but I want to get back into it and I'm planning getting one of the acarde style controllers.

What's the easiest/ideal way of playing pop'n these days? What's a good set up to avoid lag etc.? Is there a go-to community/wiki for it?

>>17385223
Not much besides the PS2 games, .PMS charts, and data but I'm not supposed to be talking about that
use a monitor with minimal lag (preferably a CRT but don't worry about it too much if you don't have one), get rid of any sort of source of audio latency i.e audio cards, etc. don't worry about it too much unless you'll start witnessing latency issues

wiki: https://remywiki.com/
community: not essentially, as most are just small groups. I guess sows is the closest thing to one

>>17385223
Join sows
Get arcadebrata
Buy or make your own ASC

>>17385283
>Join sows

>>17385286

yes it's that easy

>>17385289
Do I just lurk the IRC and hope someone takes a liking to me?

>>17385312
not that guy but you can post your email, I might shoot you one

>>17385339
frodo@wants.dicksinhisan.us

Thanks if legit. I used to have accounts on bitGamer and UndergroundGamer, but these days all I've got is Gazelle.

As a sows member I just want to say for posterity that IRC will never ever nets you invites.

It's pretty dead and all the regulars just know the new people joining the chat are only there for begging for invites so there isn't much of a friendly atmosphere

>>17385440
This, wasted so much time lurking thinking I could get an invite. It's really just as simple as asking here on the right day.

Already a member, but whenever I go to irc it's a wasteland. Is everybody on discord or something (don't have a discord account yet)?

>>17385525
Everyone is on the sows discord now.

>tfw too intimidated by sows Chads to join the discord

>>17385223
Get a Dao.

If you're using hdd then there will be two options, one for SD (as in a CRT) and one for HD (as in an LCD and the game will account for a bit of lag) so you don't have to worry about it too much. Sows has some recommended TVs for each game.

>>17385590
I heard the new Dao Popn is shit.

>>17385587
It's only like 15 people all circlejerking in there. Nothing to be intimidated about.

That's it boys today I'm clearing 8th Dan. I'm way above that level gotta get that clear already.

>>17385525
sows discord is poppin

>>17385587
the sows "chads" are all 16-25 year old autists lol

>>17385603
it is pretty shit yeah. the buttons are light and wobbly and dont have a good downwards action. also noisy as hell and sticks sometimes

So, for Dao's IIDX lighting, are the keys supposed to just all flash toghether, or is a single lit key at a time supposed to run from 1-7 like the SP/DP choosing menu shows?

>>17385988
Dao does not have the tech to make it light like in the arcade and not one is autistic enough to demand it.

>>17386025
What? My Dao RED lights individual presses just fine, given that the given light inside the key is in position well enough for contact to be made. I've tried everything to fix it but nothing works there. Otherwise they act like the arcade keys just fine.

is there any way to automatically set hi-speed in lr2 like it does at the arcade ?

>>17386025
I have it turned off anyway. Just don't really see why he bothered if it's not right

Arcin has it right though as far as I know

>>17386025

if you update your firmware the lights work properly

Does anyone have any experience modding a ps2 to play Beatmania? Is there a method that works besides burning games. For example, does OPL work with beatmania at all

>>17386351
hdloader and all that shit messes with timing and the games are unplayable.

fmcb memory card and burned isos is all you need

Playing while high is so weird actually. It's like time slows down and you can read faster speeds, although with bad timing.
One other thing I noticed is that I managed to do some patterns I can't even read as if my subconcious takes over, while I missed horribly in patterns that require conscious effort to perform, those that you have kind of learned but are still hard if you aren't being on a good day.

>>17385988
They're supposed to flash together.

IIDX only ever does the back and forth rolling lights during coin play attract mode.

>>17386503
Alternatively you can use Open PS2 Loader which allows for booting the games off the HDD without the timing issues of HDLoader. It's how I do it

>>17386928
I read on some compatibility lists for games running through OPL that IIDX games get stutter and audio desync, have you experienced this at all?

>>17387026
you have to use a special version of open ps2 loader for the best results. There's a modded version of OPL designed for IIDX sitting on the internet. Just do a search for OPL IIDX and it should pop up

>>17387036
Nice, thanks for tip.

Has anyone here done a custom underlay for their Dao? Should I get a special type of paper, or would just printing it out normally work?

>>17387544

Yeah, it will work printing it from a home printer but regular computer paper isn't big enough to fit the square shape of the graphic. I just went to office max and had them print it on paper slightly thicker than normal paper, cost me like 2 bucks.
Also if you need the template to make the underlay this is the one from sows that most people use, for the FP7

https://mega.nz/#!PMQHjB4R!KggouxbaDFrlcUFrXzGh1fQLngpq1F5uw7rRZRZKc8E

>>17387574
I got my PEE template already thanks. And thanks for the recommendation.

>tfw can't clear Afro Knuckle

Pretty much FC the song but I just can't hother to learn the chord jacks at the end so I die there.

Maybe I'll just HC it and be donemwith it.

>>17386070
Set your speed to the "FIX (MAX BPM)" option. This will make all songs scroll at the same set speed when at their max BPM, and scale accordingly if there are BPM changes.

How do I make it so that I use the turntable to set my speed/lane cover ? Trying to show a friend but don't remember how I did it

>>17387985
https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/2dx/24/p/howto/play/option3.html

>>17386503

Strange, I used to have little to no lag issues with playing popn off HDloader. I just used the setting that kills the Hdd after load and that seemed to work fine.

i need a little help. i'm someone that was on outphase until it died. now i'm searching another community for talk of rhythm games. zenius is shit, sows is for shitpost (and i don't have an account for it) and twitter is meh.
what to do? remain on the threads here? (i'm a long time lurker of the threads, desu)

>>17385266

So... are the ones after the PS2 games not good or what?

I was also more thinking about a wiki/guide for getting set up to play the games (any software needed, install guides etc.).

And also what is sows?

popular? opinion: lapistoria destroyed pop'n music. éclale and usaneko tryed to fix it, but pop'n will never go it back at how it was in the past.

>>17393368

No but really, cleaning the insides isn't a big deal if shit ends up in there.

>>17393411

also, the story behind the game was meh.
(also, more than half of the songs were forgettable.)

>>17393368
reflesia is fucking good. the ui is a bit shitty because it looks like a smartphone game, but the music is on fucking point
i'm so sick of edm, pop and vocaloid shit already and these are all that's left in other bemani games

>>17393425

also, the rpg theme is also why i love chunithm (also i love chuni because they got osamu kubota. man, go back in bemani, nostalgia (the game, ofc) is waiting.)

>>17394642

Well it's those players' fault for not being good enough. Not IIDX's or its charters' fault.

If it's too hard for you and you are angry about it concentrate that anger into getting better instead of using it to just complain.

When will DDR's team finally grow some balls and put actually hard charts in like every other major Bemani game has had since forever? DDR's difficulty distribution is laughable. If it had been like IIDX's, majority of songs would've had 17+ charts and we'd be getting multiple 19s per game.

>>17405373
Adding to this, they also have an unnatural aversion to giving Bemani crossovers difficult charts. The only DDR 18s that didn't debut in DDR are IX, Elemental Creation, Mei and Nageki no Ki, and the former two debuted across multiple games simultaneously, leaving only two clear exceptions to the rule. Knowing them no crossover will ever get a 19.

>>17409223
Because it's the only buttons they can hit in their fursuit.

it doesn't work that way, you have to get into them first

what's worse

>passable song has difficult spike at end that makes you fail
>difficult song that you struggle with has easy ending that makes you pass

>>17410300
Failing is obviously worse than passing

Lifebar is a meme. They should've just put a hitpoint counter that doesn't replenish throughout the song, something like 20 misses = out.

>>17410349
I think getting an undeserved pass feels worse desu

>>17410463
It is kind of weird to have a clear on Go Beyond A14 only because the latter half of the chart is a 10 and you can never touch a note before it and still pass.

I think easy ending songs serve their purpose in getting people to try to push their limits and feel encouraged to try higher difficulty songs, rather than go into something in knowing that it will wreck you from start to finish.

>tfw the groove gauge of your life is at 2% on ex hard

>>17405373
Never because that would involve them updating DDR which they are heavily adverse to. I still believe that Konami is purposefully gimping DDR updates because the staff won't purge Naoki songs.

When's Crossbeat?

What can I play other than stepmania and Osu on PC ?

>>17411666

Work your way up slowly.
Start with 5 key, drop down to the easiest difficulty and learn the button layout while progressively climbing back up the difficulty ladder. Do the same for 6B and higher. You don't have to master one mode before moving to the next, just keep climbing and and learning the button layouts.
What platform do you play on?

whenever I go to the arcade my inner korean comes out and I end up hitting everything early

>>17412531

Hold start and press 9 on the numpad I think. This will increase the offset by +1

At least Cannon Ballers is comprised of two actual words, dumb as they are.

Is the initial songlist gonna be filled with eurobeat ?

So loctest is a few days now. How long does it usually take from location test to release?

Cause I want to pkrate sinobuz so hard right now.

Whats the best non-IIDX/DDR/Pop'n bemani series

>>17414732
SDVX

>>17393368
I agree ): I love popn' because the older games are so corny and unique, but the newer ones with their animu stuff are so... ugh no

>>17414732
Gitadora

>>17414757
The animu style only shows up just before and after the song. The character ingame is still in that good old pop'n style.

Also, I feel like I'm destroying the cab when I play Funky Sonic World EX.

>>17402192
The only bearable bemani fans

>>17414732
The power gap between those three and everything else is so wide. Probably DrumMania.

>>17406791
DDR Extreme aka the best mix

>>17414773
SuperNOVA 2 and X2 are better

What games have the tighest and loosest timing windows, respectively? Games with no timing need not apply obviously

>>17414819
>Games with no timing need not apply obviously

The fuck kind of rhythm game has no timing?

>>17414825
Western rhythm games usually just have hit the note or didn't hit the note instead of different timing windows

>>17414829
>hit the note or didn't hit the note

That's still timing though

>>17414819
IIDX PGREAT is 2 frames. GJH/GJA used to have a 1 frame PGREAT window for giggles.
DDR Marvelous used to be 2 frames, but now it's either wider and/or not frame rounded. pop'n COOL is probably 3 frames.

I've been listening to old bemani soundtracks and while i def don't wanna come across as a nostalgiafag... damn, the difference btwn old songs and newer stuff is pretty noticeable. I get the impression that the musical output was more creative b4 since they had to figure out what kind of music would suit a rhythm game and they had to produce diverse stuff to appeal to whoever went to have fun at an arcade. Pretty cool stuff. 20 yrs later, they want to appeal to... idek, otaku? I only find edm and shithouse in new games (i mean, if ppl enjoy that kind of music then good for them, it's the only thing they release nowadays, hooray. to me, most edm/dubstep/nightcore/speedy clusterfucky music is samey and obnoxious and boring as hell!!!). Probs I haven't looked hard enough? I miss corny eurobeat like what naoki and y&co produced, random hip hop, nice trance, stuff based on classical music, funky tracks, whatever the fuck exotic ethnic/healing vision/orion 78/afronova were. And dancemania licenses. ):

Just embrace the sweat or take off your shirt

>>17415753
Do you have a fan set up?

Also drink plenty of water.

Who the hell is Paul Bazooka and why does he keep appearing on all those asian music games?

What ever happened to Nostalgia

>>17416063
Nostalgia is fun but it's just an overpriced deemo with a cheap toy piano

>>17416063
>>17416142
I tried it a while back and it's not actually that fun. Although it gets more challenging on Master level difficulties it just feels like mashing your hand in the approximate location the notes are expected to land. The lack of black keys makes it worse.

Perhaps I'm spoiled coming from an actual piano, but although it's capable of being difficult it doesn't feel like it's capable of being complex.

>>17416158
>it doesn't feel like it's capable of being comple
This, it's actually just stupid fun.
But if you ever have another chance to try it play Tocata and do exagerate movements (or stupid shits like crossing your hands)

>>17416227
Ehh I can see that being fun in a kind of goofy way, but from my experience actual piano is legitimately more fun.

I'll spend my tokens on other games.

>>17415753
That's pretty normal. I would make sure to drink lots of water and maybe try using a fan to help cool you down, but if you're playing 13-15's you're well past the point of not getting sweaty when playing. I think you're just better off just accepting the fact that it's gonna happen a lot, and just wear light clothes and take a towel with you.

>>17414732
SDVX. Museca is fun but it's too easy so it robs you of the satisfaction you get from clearing songs since you'd have to be new to music games for that to even be a thing (same with Jubeat) and drummania takes fucking forever to become enjoyable to play at all.

>>17414277

That is by design. It's meant to be loose and forgiving.

I'm still a bit disappointed Beatstream is being sacrificed for it though.

Holy shit I've been playing Respect the last few days and now I booted IIDX and my timing is completely off.

I'm getting Cs with 800 fasts when I'm sulpised to be getting AAs and As wbat can I do to fix this?

>>17418745
Just got a B on Mermaid Girl

That's how serious it is. If I knew this would happen I wouldn't have bought Respect

>>17418791
Change offset in Respect?
I haven't tried that game, but even I play a bunch of K-Shoot my IIDX timing doesn't drop that much.

>>17418745

I'm also playing Djmax with a headset while I don't use it for IIDX. Could that be one kf the reasons? I'm seriously taken aback

Cannon Ballers leaked footage

https://twitter.com/95jack95jack/status/893054490131091460

idk why but i have a really hard time reading DDR patterns

i can play 9s in iidx just fine though

I just finished setting up LR2, but I've basically only played stepmania before in terms of rhythm games.
Would you guys recommend I start with 5 buttons and then work up to 7? or just start at absolute baby level 7s and try to get better? The number and positioning of the notes are a little overwhelming at 7, but I dont want to get into bad habits by playing with fewer buttons.

>>17419472
Just start with 7 if that's what you want to play.

>>17419472
Start with whatever you intend to play the most of.

"working your way up" doesn't work

>>17419472
I don't know who started this "work your way up from 5 key" thing, but it doesn't work at all. Just start with what you want to play. It may be overwhelming for now but you'll get used to it in time.

Playing IIDX from hdd data, not sure what the problem is but I feel like the music and sounds get off sync during the song. Might be just because I'm bad but something still feels off.

>>17419481
>>17419482
Thanks. I'll keep trying at 7 then. This is so chaotic trying to scramble to find the right buttons to hit, but I think I'm starting to get a feel for it.

>>17419591
It might be DJMax that put me into that mindset since I did briefly play that years ago. It lays the number of buttons out like difficulties, so I guess I made the connection to "progress through" them by starting at 4 buttons and working my way up to 8 or whatever it had. I never actually attempted anything past 4 in that so I wasn't sure how effective that was.

>>17419649
Low leve, 7 ley aonga exisb to make you used to the buttons.

Jjst keep playing easy songs until it becomes muscle memory

Thoughts on Virgoo fever ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrcAhlaxzSw
Is it a good controller for IIDX as well ?

>>17419878
>you can play IIDX, DJMAX and SDVX with this single controller
HOLY SHIT

>>17419878
Respect isn't really meant for a controller, so the practicality of it might be questionable.
Probably isn't good for IIDX as it is most likely not AC distance. Additionally, TT is too small

>>17419878
That's cute but 8b doesn't work with it

>>17419878
I'm confused by the 7 buttons and 2 TT when I'm only seeing 6 buttons here.

Also I thought virgoo was dead

>>17420115
the black middle button is to activate the "fever" (X onscreen).
I bet that it'll not be marketed as a DJMax-only controller

>>17420115
>>17420148
Comment on the video said he made the controller himself

not understanding this DJmax meme.
game looks like utter shit, worse than osumania

>>17420161
https://twitter.com/VirgooTeam is a better source than a comment from a random guy

>>17420162
Djmax is actually the original DJ game. IIDX ripped it off and Konami's Disney-tier lawyers managed to win in court.

>>17420217
doesn't make it good

>>17420180
My mistake

>>17419906
With a bit of imagination you can play much more games (and with p1 or p2 side at any time)

>>17419878
Absolutely tiny TT with baby-tier scratch distance, but I like the idea of playing multiple games with it, and you can play either 1P or 2P.

>>17420217

ebin trole goon sire. have a (You)

>>17419649
the only game where that kind of progression makes sense is dance games. you cant learn doubles without some basis of singles skill

but 5-key and 7-key iidx/bm have surprisingly little in common. the amount of keys severely changes the techniques used in charting as well as the way your hands have to position themselves to hit them all. just play 7 key. its brutal at first, i know.

>>17420522
I did not expect this collaboration and I cannot wait to hear it.

>>17420581
Playing 6B on dualshock is fine. Things get shitty only on 8b since it's just awkward to hit L1 and R1 consistently on the harder songs because you pretty much have to mash them.
It hurts my hand and I'm used to playing IIDX for hours on my FP7.

Was it all a ruse?

Can we all just agree that DJmax is the only non bemani rhythm game that's worth a damn?

How should I be hitting TT~1~3~5 on P1
I am playing 8s and I'm seeing this chord a lot

>>17420911
Use your left thumb to hit both 1 and 3

>>17420911
multiple options:
-side thumb, left thumb on both 1 and 3, 5 with right thumb
-left thumb on 1, right thumb on 3, right middle on 5
-left thumb on 1, right index on 3, right thumb on 5
-left thumb on 1, left index on 3, wrist scratch

>>17417450
Underated post.

>>17420911
Scratch with pinky and press 1 left thumb. Move right thumb from 5 to 3 and press 5 with right index.

Way more comfortable than pressing 1 and 3 with left thumb and I have huge hands and long fingers. But if you're fast enough and/or the notes aren't very dense just move your whole right hand out of your main position and press 1 2 and 3 with it with index, middle and ring fingers then move back to your normal position.

You need to learn to move your hands around anyway and adapt since there will be patterns at high level that are more comfortable to hit with unorthodox positions.

>>17417450
>>17421104
Using a wheel to scratch actually seems like a good idea.

Would make scratch heavy songs a breeze and no blisters on the tip of your pinky.
