>>17998183
i play it all the time and falling in love with 5key before getting into iidx made me play p2 side

best 5key chart ever is implantation hard btw

i'm listening to the roots26 dramas. this is some fucking TOP NOTCH content.

Is playing on random a good thing or not? I can't tell what is a shitpost and what isn't. It feels like it helps me stop going into muscle memory on familiar looking patterns. (I couldn't think of a way of saying this that didn't sound retarded) But at the same time I think I've passed songs that I otherwise wouldn't have because it was set to random.

>>17999129
Some charts are just ass on non random. contract [a] on 2p is one of those.

>>17999129
It's situational. Mostly a good thing since you get forced to learn new patterns, although that might not be as fun.
And yes, muscle memory is definitely good to avoid. Try not to play the same song multiple times as well, or at least put on random if you do.

>>17999129
Getting occasional "fake clears" is much less important than the skills you gain from using Random.

Most of the time I get fucked when I turn Random on. Does that mean I'm bad or do I just have bad luck?

>>17999265
That's generally the point of Random. There's only a handful of songs where it will usually help you. In most cases it usually won't.

>>17999129
>>17999265
random often makes things harder. ideally you want to selectively use random, r-ran, mirror, s-ran to make charts easier.

it can also be a decent training tool if you've already played out a chart nonran or mirror, or if you develop bad muscle memory habits. (example: i used to have to bullshit certain sections in songs, but now i'm better, but i still reflexively bullshit them so i can't get as good of a score as i should be able to, and random breaks that up)

if you don't feel confident in telling when you should use these options, just don't. play nonran until you get better. it's usually more fun and you maintain some of the artistry of the charts and play them as intended. plus you can ask other players what they like to use. i tend to play eurobeat songs on r-random because they have left-hand-heavy scale-like patterns that become easier when moved to the right somewhat.

"random is cheating" "nonran is cheating" etc. are literal meme jokes that you should not put any serious thought into.

How the hell am I supposed rapid tap with my left thumb? That and alternating between left thumb and left index are impossible for me to do reliably.

>>18000349

Use your wrist/arm, don't move just your thumb

>>17999129
If you want to improve, keep random on. It will give you strange patterns that you may not otherwise have any practice on and prevent you from memorizing charts and just mashing through them.

If you actually want to score/clear, keep it off, or hope for a good random.

i'll never be 10th dan

>>18000681

I already gold crowned most of Taiko on PS4 and it's so piss easy compared to the arcade versions that it made me rather disappointed.

Guys, is there any way to reduce the delay of the notes when you play in a led tv? I recently got a PS2 and it's really difficult for me to play due to this, I have to ignore the song to be able to hit a note correctly lol. I'd appreciate any help with this.

>>18001655
Check your tv settings and do some research online. There are generally settings which will help you reduce the delay for games significantly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYNvn8iko0Q

>>18001608
I'm aware, but it was the first result on youtube.
Point is that there is an extended version of nisohime.

tfw not enough happy hardcore

>>18001655
PS2 games weren't designed for use with LCD TVs, just hop on Craigslist or something and scour your neighborhood garage sales for an old CRT

>>18001655
Happy Sky onward has a little bit of latency mitigation in the options, but if the TV is really bad, it will only help a little bit.

>>18001655
happy sky - empress have offset options, but you are better off getting a crt tv, theyre between free and $25 on craigslist depending on quality

Original poster here. Sorry, I meant the nu-denpa arrange made for sdvx. Extended version doesn't exist.

Looks like Museca is not ded yet.

Man I feel like I am really fucking bad at accuracy.
My accuracy has much more goods than greats or PGreats like on level 6-7. It even applies when I play easier songs and on other rhythm games like sdvx or jubeat.
Getting that D - C passes on level 5s is really starting to fuck with me. Is there a way I can try to fix this?

Guys, right now, I'm playing DDRA lv 11 doubles with no bars.

When do you think it's good enough for me to move on to level 12 charts?

>>18011091
ddr ratings dont matter much until like 14 15 16 17 18 19, especially on doubles where some of the charts are way harder than their ratings because of bad patterning

There's no turntable in DJMAX

>>18011063

>>18011454
there isn't very much k-pop (it would be cool if there was, since only dance games and neon fm really have k-pop) it's almost all korean electronic music which is to say it sounds mostly like japanese or western music except it's generic and soulless

see: almost every djmax and piu original

i'm not saying the games don't have good music but it's soulless and doesn't really stick with you the same way something incredible like quasar or sync or even something silly like butterfly does

>>18011633
>except it's generic and soulless
Completely disagree. I haven't played DJMAX in years, but it being the first series of rhythm games I started with, I still have fond memories of its soundtrack, and I don't think it's soulless at all.

Songs that I can still recall after years of not listening to them. The comparison of the general mood or feeling of DDR isn't really a fair one, since there isn't anything you can compare it to in general.

>>18011821
there's a much smaller range of deviation in quality in korean otoge music. it's basically all in the 7/10-9/10 range. compared to bemani which has some real bad songs but also is more likely to have amazing 10/10s

>>18011827
>>18011821
again i'm not saying there are no good songs in djmax or pump it up. heart of witch owns, end of the moonlight is a classic, i really like get out, respect has a bunch of bangers like uad, voldenuit, mulch, killer bee, but it's just got less personality than bemani shit

>>18011827
Agreed. It's mostly down to only a handful of artists that consistently make good stuff and/or the straight up god-like stuff, like M2U, Tsukasa, Esti etc.

But you have to keep in mind that Bemani games are just on an entirely different budget and their staff has a decade more experience at selecting its soundtrack.

>>18011844
I dunno about you but I think anything by M2U is 10/10

>see: Myosotis

>>18012229
He actually is one of my favorite rhythm game artists. Why Konami never bothered to get a contract with him is completely beyond me.

What exactly does Guitar Freaks (even the 3button series) do so well that makes weebs insist they're infinitely better than Western guitar games?

So what's the consensus on the best rhythm game for Android? I played Cytus some time ago and it was pretty sick, any recommendation?

>>18015288
Probably that they have actual timing windows and better music.
Guitar Freaks really isn't that fun though.

>>18009363

how does this work without taking into account the BPM of the song? are you supposed to use this with BPM-Fix or are you supposed to do it per song?

>>18015512
The entire point of a green number is that it's independent of the song's BPM.

>>18015288

Guitar Freaks mechanically sucks. No hammerons and no fretting might've been fine in 3 key but it makes playing Gitadora wholly unpleasant.

There's a reason that in Japan there are so many arcades with only drummania: guitar freaks isn't fun and doesn't sell

guitar freaks is much worse than guitar hero it just came first and that's important when headass normalfags think iidx is a guitar hero ripoff

>>18015517
not really, iidx introduced green number way before floating hi-speed

>>18015512

yes, you use the number it outputs as your hs fix in LR2. there is no true floating hi-speed support in LR2.

>>18015303
Every nigga in the world gonna tell you VOEZ.

I’m still tryna build a dedicab for it using x86 with sound reactive led and everything. Playing it on a big monitor is a different experience than a phone, I can tell you that much.

>>18015303
Groove Coaster

>>18016240
Even without the floating hi speed it was important to know what the green number was so that you could adjust sudden+ or a towel in conjunction with the standard hi speed setting to make it work.

5th Style PS2 made most people reach for towels, and that is effectively when people were looking for their green number, despite it not having that name at that time.

>>18016563

Who is the best non jp iidx player?

>>18022435

cstarflare

>>18022549
Maybe like 10 years ago. He can barely EXHC hard 10s now, and even his old peak isn't very exciting by today's standards.

>>18022435
possibly not even american but in america i think the best player is like phnix probably?

ryry used to be at the same level as japanese rankers at that time but the game got harder and everyone got slightly better

>>18022435
>non jp
How is this even a question. LICHT, obviously. If talking about outside of asia, probably REA.

>>18022435
Counting Asian countries, LICHT from Korea.

In America, on official cabinets/eAmuse it's PHN!X by a mile. He's the only one right now who could contend with Server/Prefecture Records vs Japanese players, and has most of the game AAA+EXHC'd IIRC. (Don't know who'd be considered "2nd best in America" on cabs, but they're still not even close in comparison.)

On Arcana/private servers I hear REA is still way better than everyone else. IDK how PHN!X does on Arcana in comparison to official eA. Don't know much about current players on there other than those two.

There are personal opinions, so take with a grain of salt if necessary.

>>18022714
Last time I heard, CStar cleared SP Kaiden again, on AC. Don't know anything else, but I'd imagine he'd do fine with EXHC on 10s and 11s.

His old peak was 2006 and earlier on CS games, then he stopped playing as much and posting scores. From the perspective of American players at the time, he had really good scores on hard songs, like AAAs on Colors [a], Sakura [a], etc. He was a Top American player at the time for sure.

>>18022756
Ryry was probably Top 5 in the world at CS in 2006 and prior, when Japanese were still actively playing CS. When he was most active, no American's scores ever came close to his, and sometimes he even beat the Japanese. Even when he wasn't playing as much during RED-Gold, many of his scores haven't been touched by any Americans to this day.

Last time I heard he was actively playing, it was Sirius AC. Don't know anything past that.

Is using an offset on IIDX cheating?

>>18025337
Arcade cabinets have a variety of monitors as well as multiple official IO boards that have different input latencies.

Watching warmly for pop'n to add an offset feature some day.

what button setup do the iidx cabs at ERM use

what is wawawa

>>18025351
There's 3 IOs in use in official IIDX cabs rn

IO-2 (newest, from Gold Cabs onward), D01 (grey door cabs iirc), and C02 (9th style cabs/conversion kits from twinkle cabs).

C02 and D01 have no timing changes, it's really just a hardware revision. IO-2 widens the timing window on TT slightly. Everything else is the same.

You're right about the monitors though, there are several revisions of the HD* monitor that are all a little different, and they're different than the og DJ Troopers HD panel, game has built in offset to compensate for the increased lag in the later models.

>>18026942
>IO-2 widens the timing window on TT slightly.
The timing windows are defined in software. The TT is definitely more responsive and accurate on IO-2, though.

>Everything else is the same.
Just from experience and playing on dozens of different cabinets, IO-2 probably has almost an entire frame less latency than the older USBIOs. I have to use a different offset, and I can hear the difference in how quick the keysound playback is relative to the key press..

>>18026963
t. placebophile
there are no significant differences between IO2 and older IOs except for a new fpga (not used for button to) and filtering on the tt input

any ongeki footage yet?

>>18027004
I'm reluctant to accept it as placebo, especially since it was something I noticed and could identify before I even knew there were multiple USBIO types, but I also don't have access to whatever information resources you have. I guess it will be irrelevant when all machines are using the USBIO shipped with the CANNON BALLERS hardware upgrade.

At least I'm not one of those people that constantly adjusts offset in increments of 0.1 thinking that it has any noticeable effect.

>>18027064
what you were experiencing was probably the built in offset for HD* cabs, but w/e you're right there is a new IO and it will be standard now unless you're playing on some shitty hacked cab in the americas :^)

>YELL!
What the fuck

>>18027271

Anyway, is this program still in use or being updated? I've never touched it but I wonder how it compares to LR2 and Beatoraja in terms of things like stability and feature support.

If the equivalent of a 1.6ms adjustment makes a difference for you, you must be getting 99% scores all the time, since the PGREAT window is 20 times larger at 33ms wide.

wtf i love iidx now

>>18029426
If you average hit in for example -19.0~9.0 ms you can see if you'd shift that with offset to for example to -15.8~12.2 ms you can see that the difference is pretty huge. Considering that the window for pgreat is -16.66~16.66 (pretending that it isn't offset to the early window for the sake of example). If you consistently hit more early or late then it obviously has large impact on your score if you can move that even with milliseconds.

>>18029773
Your example changes the offset by about 0.2, not 0.1, and it even helps illustrates the point that you probably shouldn't bother with 0.1 increments until you're already very confident that you're close.

Going off of your example (-19ms~9ms), let's assume a player has timing that can be modeled with a normal distribution with a 14ms standard deviation, does not drift based on in-game early/late feedback, and already has things like WN/GN set correctly. He is playing on an unfamiliar machine, so he's 5ms off on average. Ideally, he should be getting 87.44% scores, or high AAs, but he's getting 85.61%. Something's off, so he adjusts offset by 0.1. On a 1000 note song, he sees an improvement of about 20 EX, or a 7% reduction in lost EX. That's already not that much, but it's still pretty good, and you might think that the adjustment of 0.1 was a huge success. Instead, consider that such a "large" improvement with 0.1 is just evidence that the adjustment should have been much larger to begin with, since a 0.3 change would have had almost double the reduction in lost EX.

In reality, using 0.1 increments is even less useful, since any reasonable player would adjust themselves based on the judgement feedback while playing the game. At best, this means that the score differences between using different offsets would be even more subtle, and at worst, the player may be hurting themselves in the long run. If the offset is off by a lot, like 1.0, as a player makes 0.1 increments, they're also very likely to be slowly adjusting themselves. After they're satisfied with the timing, they may have drifted to the point of meeting somewhere halfway, where a 0.5 total adjustment feels fine. After returning to a familiar machine and using the offset they normally would, it might feel strange and require yet another period of adjustment.

For most players, I would advocate adjusting offset in 0.5 increments, or 0.3 at the very least. Most of the time, you'll more quickly find the offset you need, and overshooting and scaling back helps the player avoid drifting too much in any one direction while searching for the correct offset. Then stick with an offset once you're confident enough. I often see less skilled players constantly adjusting their offset up and down by 0.1 between songs, and it's silly.

After experimenting with some numbers, 0.1 offset error appears to have the most noticeable total EX improvements only for 95+% score players that have a standard deviation of 10ms or less, and even then it's still within the noise/placebo range.

I just got the PS4 Taiko game with the toy controller after only having played the PSP games and I've fallen into despair. Is it actually possible to get full combos with that drum on Oni? And is there a way to stop the thing from sliding everywhere? This game is insane.

Got a sweet deal on a metal pad and returning to DDR for the first time since 2002. How do you guys practice? I'm playing the JP PS2-era games (MAX/MAX2/Extreme) with the 10-level difficulty scale. I'm bored with 1s, fine with 2s, and can clear 3s. Should I work my way through the tiers through clears or should I set grade goals for myself before moving up a tier?

>>18032809

>>18033829
It's the Kaiden rag. When you first hit it, you shoot your load right there. It's a communal thing.

everything easier than 7 in old-scale ddr is fucking trivial (except for a couple heavy 6s maybe)

I'll be going to japan soon, I kinda want to try out pop'n. I can do lv 6-8s on IIDX, what is a recommended level to try out?

>>18035257
I was playing 7s in IIDX when I started pop
n and if I'm remembering right I started on 10s and skipped a few levels up after every song once I was comfortable with the button placements.

What is "being shit at IIDX?"

I think that as long as you're getting As, you shouldn't be embarrassed. Game even rewards you with a cute girl pic for it, so it's not supposed to be a bad score.

>>18035310
>Game even rewards you with a cute girl pic for it, so it's not supposed to be a bad score.
what version are you talking about here because when I get A or AA its always 1 or 2 ayy lmaos instead of those 2 conductor girls

>>18035510
>Aliens
>Not cute

>>18035257
Try stuff at 20-25. There are some IIDX crossovers in pop'n too so that might help.

>>18035310
Being shit is always relative. Someone near all white 12s might consider themselves to be shit comparing to guys who have most 12s exhard cleared for example.

>>18033495
No one here likes Taiko? I just want to know if I'm better off using the PS4 controller or if it's humanly possible to do well with the drum that it came with.

>>18035257

you could work your way all the way up to and including 30 before you start needing to be careful. if a song has a bpm change, skip it, it's not worth dealing with.

>>18035257
start at 15 just to be safe, it might be even easier with beat pop on. You'll probably be able to zoom right to around 25.

>>18035510

>>18035973
>Someone near all white 12s might consider themselves to be shit comparing to guys who have most 12s exhard cleared for example.
Since the gap between the easiest and hardest 12s is so huge, I would expect anyone near all 12 HC to have a decent majority of 12s EXHC'd.

>cannonballs gives you a sausage picture for AAA again
ugh

>>18036603
Well ok when I say that I mean like comparing someone who is like couple songs off all white vs someone who is like couple some off all exhc having only the crazy stuff left.

>>18037444
it only gets worse, quit while you're ahead

>>18037444
Pick a random 11 and cry. That's what you got ahead of you. Just stop playing it's not worth it.

>>18038172
The further you get in clear the more 10s and 11s start feeling like nothing though, like after when delving the hardest 12s.

Playing LR2 with judge auto adjust on, it adjusts to about +60ms which is where it feels comfortable. Anybody have any idea where all this latency is coming from? I have a 1ms monitor, so it can't be from that, most likely. On my laptop, I have it on on my laptop's install, too, but there it only adjusts to about +20ms. Weird shit.

>>18039445
Auto adjust is dangerous, it easily makes you time sloppy and it adjusts to wrong offset and you start adjusting to that and it's a chain reaction of bad. The latency is probably just you hitting late rather than the game having latency.

>>18039451
That brings up another point which is that I have autism, and supposedly my reflexes are bad according to other anons. If that's true, I suppose that could play a role, too. But I don't know the specifics behind any of the research done behind it, just that I googled it one time and it was true.

>>18039467
Well unless you are extremely high level at scoring you will probably drift in offset because of lack of control. That's why a lot of people advocate against using it until you are extremely good at score (like 97%~99%ing the stuff you play in lr2), since at that point it won't matter that much, because the timing is so ingrained in you. So basically what is happening to you is pretty normal.

>>18039478
I'm not sure I believe that, honestly. 60ms is way beyond just a little bit of variance. I'm more likely to believe that my responses are more delayed. I checked the laptop and I was mistaken, as that was apparently settled at about +60 as well.

As some possible empirical evidence of this, once upon a time I was playing some GH with my friends. I happened to discover that increasing the offset option helped my accuracy quite a bit(and this considering how lax the game is). This from playing the game from 0 delay previously. This was much to the chagrin of my friend who insisted, not unreasonably, that I play the "normal" way while playing with others and claiming to my own annoyance that doing so was cheating.

I'm no noob to rhythm games; I've been playing normally for some 10 years and LR2 for about 2. I have some AA's on some IIDX 11's on keyboard and recently switched to controller a few months ago. I play on J6 or J7 in Stepmania when I want to do some accuracy practice. I'm definitely not a new player.

favorite sinobuz songs?

>>18039580
Okay yeah I misinterpreted you a bit, but +60 offset isn't a problem if that feels comfortable. There's some insane players who use similiar offsets. For example the current best scoring bms player often uses +99 ms offset and gets insane scores with that.

>>18039687
Yeah, I can't play the game for dick on 0. I get C's and D's and it feels so wrong and off to me. I was mostly just wondering as to it's source, honestly, whether it was a hardware or biological fault or whatever else.

It does scare me a bit considering the idea that it's a biological fault. Can you even change the delay in IIDX? If it was, and you can't, I'd be screwed bad trying to play on a real cab. Which is something I'd like to do sometime.

>>18039445
>I have a 1ms monitor
No you don't. Pixel response time is only a small factor of total latency.

Anyway, there are a lot of potential sources of latency in a system. USB by itself introduces more than people think. Another sneaky one is your modern graphics card buffering for several frames for the sake of consistency at the expense of responsiveness. The number of prerendered frames is often configurable.

>>18039741

Yes. See >>18033252, my fellow autist.

Such a good comeback from Takada. All his IIDX stuff was gold.

Like all Taiko drums post PS2, you've got to mod that shit to usability. Follow one of the guides, and rest that shit on some towels or something to dampen the sound and stop it moving around so much.

>>18055383
The jump from one difficulty to the next can be quite the leap from song to song.
Given the 8ths are making you fail the song, it seems like you're trying to jump from ~5's to ~8's under the old difficulty system.
Are you FC'ing your light mode songs?

>>18056556
The only Standard Mode song I've gotten a decent-ish grade on is Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which is only a 5 on Standard (3 on Light) and I've gotten a B on that. However, I've failed Lovin' You, which has taught me that not all difficulty gaps are equal (2 on Light, 6 on Standard). I've FC'd both of the above songs on Light, and gotten A's or higher on almost the entire DDRMAX tracklist (aside from boss songs) on that mode.

>>18055383
Doesn't Solo give you note colorings for 8th? Also, try adding a bit of speed mods to help space out the notes.

>>18056789
I have been. They haven't been much help so far.

>>18055383
Seconding increase your speed mod, if you haven't tried playing on 1.5x or 2x then do so. Keep in mind the BPM as well, you'll want a higher xmod on slower songs.
Mentally force yourself to not rush when you see densely packed notes and stay on the beat. This is something you will probably need to do A LOT as you improve as a player.
Count the beat in your head, if it helps, like you would do in 3rd grade music class.
Pay attention to the actual difficulty ratings more than the mode of the song. If you can score well on 4s, then look for 5s to play (there are even some in Light mode, like Afronova).
Play more, of course.
