If I get an MFC on a song on DDR the first time I play it, can I count it as a PFC too?

Because 400 some-odd customers really want a goth rhythm game gf and use black color schemes as their wingman.

There's a Jubeat gambling machine coming up.

Would it be worth it to start dabbling in it so that I could sweep up all the advantage the casuals are cropping up? The vid I saw displaying it showed a rather entry level song.

>>18198340
no

>>18198340

>no sampling paradise this time

>>18198340

its just a gambling game that does a jubeat minigame portion if you fill certainly goals, and like you saw the 'charts' they give you are trivial just to fill the minigame

You play the other game (pop'n in this case) and you get some energy in sdvx. Dump that energy into a song after your sdvx round ends. When it reaches 100% you get the song.

>>18199097
Yeah, like we both saw, the songs were beginner to mid-low in terms of difficulty.
But if the DDR scene around me is of any indicator, there are plenty enough newbs who can't even do that.
Anyone who can PFC those songs would very much reap the benefits.

....though the comments do mention that the machine could offset the beats by a bit in order to prevent that.

>>18200641

>>18196858
PFC becomes moot and you get that score(MFC) light up on the jacket art during song selection. Don't worry about PFC'ing it ever again because you've already MFC'd it for that difficulty.

>>18200641

Besides IIDX, what bemani games does /jp/ play seriously? Pop'n seems like it holds up by itself, but SDVX just feels really watered down coming from IIDX

>>18202053
DDR, although /jp/ does not leave its room often

>>18202053

It's supposedly skill based, and according the to channel owner, his performance netted him about a 50% return on that single game, and presumably the prize pot is RNG-dependent.

>>18202188
It could just be like modern redemption games where it's rigged until it gets enough credits

>>18202053

>>18202053

>>18202832

Why do Korean and Chinese rhythm games have so many Japanese songs/artists?

This and any other BPM gimmick chart. The only time I play them is one single time for earning DJPoints on a new release. Any other music game series has long figured out that variable scroll speeds are bullshit, if it ever had them to begin with.

The reason QTEs and rhythm games seem similar is because a button prompt is the simplest form of input. But it's not the input method or the interface that defines a QTE.

Most singleplayer games are designed to be finite. Because of this, developers can replace deep mechanics and complex balancing with simple illusions that players would only notice on repeat playthroughs. David Cage and Telltale games are full of story branches that all lead to the same outcome. DOOM and Bioshock secretly give you extra health when you're near death, to create the illusion of just barely surviving. Call of Duty games have turret levels where it's impossible to fail, to create the illusion of power. Persona 5 has meaningless dialogue options to make you feel like you're part of the conversation. Dynamic difficulty, scripted encounters, the list goes on.

These illusions are a big part of modern game design, because they let you directly manipulate the player experience. QTEs are a part of this toolbox: They make you feel like you always control your character, even in cutscenes with no real interactivity. This illusion of control is what defines a QTE. Rhythm games are not QTEs because you're just hitting buttons for the sake of hitting buttons.

So I think Akiba Arcade in Columbus is one of the best arcades in the country when it comes to bemani and rhythm games. I've been to their old location several times and have been to round 1s all over the country, but with their new location it's really something else.
>more games than Round 1 has, including discontinued bemani titles like future Tom Tom and Dance Maniax
>cabs actually maintained by people who care about the games and know what they're doing
>custom network support for all bemani so stuff like HD pop'n 24, sdvx 4, museca 1½ etc
>15 dollars to play everything all day (free play on all cabs)

>>18228152
shill ur games somewhere else senpai

here come that derust

>>18205678
Literally anything with BPM changes. Tempo shifts are an entire power of 10 worse to deal with in IIDX than they are in DDR and pretty much every top ranker will try to cheese them by finding optimal times to change their floating high or put up with missing a few notes (Himiko gives you no choice other than to change your floating high ASAP or big dick it at the end). I wish IIDX had fixed scroll rate like GitaDora and Museca.

>>18228152
Mmmmm stroke my ego more. <3 AkiAke is the home base for Snow Phoenix who does a bunch of cons as well.

>>18228522
I never really invested time into DDR, how are they that much worse in IIDX?

>>18228669
IIDX is way denser and the notes are smaller so speed changes make everything impossible to read. Most people also get too used to a specific GN and can't play for shit when that changes.

Holy fucking shit I didn't know there was an option for Sudden+ in DDR now my accuracy isn't total shit since I have trouble reading below 600BPM without a cover

>>18228669
IIDX is keysounded, so you can't always rely on the audio to guide you, because you play the sounds. This means that it's harder to deal with anything that interferes with the visuals. The good news is that, as of Cannon Ballers, the audio latency in arcades is closer to how it felt on the PS2 or Twinkle games, so listening to the background track is actually somewhat useful again.

DDR is not keysounded, so you can use the audio to prevent you from drifting. Worst case scenario, the arrows and the music aren't exactly in sync, which people use speed mods to overcome anyway. Additionally, DDR's notes are colored according to the offset from the beat. If you're familiar with it, it's very easy to determine the exact rhythm of densely packed notes, even sightread.

>>18229003
This is what happens to people that have never played DDR before MAX and immediately started using speed mods.

>>18228541

Are you the gachi gatchapon anon who worked as a tech on their cabs?

>>18229543
Yeah I got fed up with working on their shit and bought my own and had them rent it from me for their new space.
Easy.

>>18228690
This. The size of the notes and number of possible combinations in each game are also factors.


Personally, my main game used to be DDR years ago. I used to be a x1 no bar scrub for a while, so I never had a problem reading low BPM in dance games.

But even after playing through the early 5-key beatmania games, the charts got dense enough to the point where I needed high speeds to read and time well.

In IIDX...I needed it from Day One.

ITG has been dead for a fucking DECADE. DDR has still yet to catch up in many ways. It literally revolutionized dancing games. It introduced several mechanics that added so much more depth than DDR will ever have. Its doubles charts are still leagues above DDR's. Its vision with modifiers and gameplay are only recently being materialized by PIU.

Don't use the community's lack of creativity in custom songs/stepcharts as a mark against it. It's a feature DDR will NEVER see that's merely been somewhat misused.

Shit hasn't gotten much harder either, after a fucking decade. The hardest songs in ITG would still be hard 18s, easy 19s.

>>18244124
It's easy to shit on "ITG", but I still have tremendous respect for ITG and ITG2 as games. It's unfortunate that it's difficult to differentiate the game itself from "ITG" customs in most conversations.

>>18244124
>ITG has been dead for a fucking DECADE
yes and no. there's still a contingent of nerds who don't want to make the leap to ddr or pump. although it also just offers a different experience and it makes the most sense to play all 3

>DDR has still yet to catch up in many ways. It literally revolutionized dancing games. It introduced several mechanics that added so much more depth than DDR will ever have.

i don't disagree senpai i was there when it came out

>Shit hasn't gotten much harder either, after a fucking decade. The hardest songs in ITG would still be hard 18s, easy 19s.
nah this is bullshit because people can quad vertex^2 and nobody is fucking -near- that on ddr 19s, you can't compare the difficulties like that

>>18244200

I include up to ITG3, since those charts are all cannon.

>>18244200
>people can quad vertex^2
Isn't this just "person" with a very small handful of other people with single digit Excellents.

>nobody is fucking -near- that on ddr 19s
A lot of DDR 19s have some silly things in it like nearly impossible jumpsteps, while VerTex² is surprisingly carefully crafted to be physically possible. The most straightforward 19 in DDR has been PFC'd, which, given the timing window differences, is probably equivalent to a decent 99% in ITG. It'd probably never be quadded if it were in ITG because lol 16ths at 440 BPM.

>>18244254
Why do people believe this. Like less than 10% of ITG3 content is real.

>A lot of DDR 19s have some silly things in it like nearly impossible jumpsteps, while VerTex² is surprisingly carefully crafted to be physically possible.

>it doesn't matter what sort of gimmicky memotrash horseshit makes it harder, just that's harder.

A song that has all invisible notes would be pretty fucking hard too. Is that a 20 in your mind?

>>18244379
I didn't disagree that DDR 19s are harder. I was just backing up anon's statement that they're not much harder.

I would say VerTex² is a solid 18, and some people have gotten pretty good at it over a very long time, with the quad only being achieved relatively recently. A decade later, DDR has some 19s that, for a significant portion of their existence, have been hidden behind shitty unlock systems or simply not available at all in the USA, and yet one has already been PFC'd. "Shit hasn't gotten much harder" isn't an unreasonable statement, especially since that guy included ITG3 charts. In any case, difficulty to score well on and difficulty to clear are often correlated but sometimes different things. The comparison gets even wackier when you consider that the Almost window in DDR is now gone, allowing you to not only survive by mashing the brackets but even maintain combo through shit.

>>18242020
Many Prim songs are 12s though. Pic related started it all.

For the last one, I can unlock 5 random songs per day, but is it a limited pool of songs or all existing songs including policy break songs?

>>18244536
Songs that are added before 7/20/2017. Probably no policy break songs.

Still, some policy break songs are available to buy with blcs. HAVOX/Insecticide when

are there other videos with handclaps going alongside the scratches

>>18234649
Scratch charts.

>>18245083
naughty girl@queen's palace is fun as heck tho

>>18244882
japanese people put up taiko sim videos with only the scratches to iidx songs but i don't know enough nihongo to search for them

>>18244475
i personally hate the flavors of difficulty present in high level ddr and pump but clearly they're necessary because everybody good got bored of itg customs after a while and thats why all but like 10 people who used to be top itg players have moved to other games

>>18244090
hasn't been in the game for a while, just like other fun modes like all scratch

>>18244882
>>18245646
oh heres one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIdQyjcrNlg

>>18244882
Just search for any track title and ハンドクラップ and there's probably a video for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lujH3_Sc2NY

>>18241584
ASC is as viable as keyboard for top level BMS play. There's actually one japanese dude right now who is getting tons and tons of fcs on asc that nobody else has been able to get kb, koc or asc. The only difference is that not wrist scratching isn't viable on asc at the top level, but like almost all non-overjoy stuff is as viable with pinky scratching too.

>>18234649
Refractive index SPA is the easiest 11 in my opinion. Got it on the first try before the crashing issue happened on spada with later updates.

>>18243914
You gotta play the technical charts, that's where the fun stuff is. Crossovers, footswitches, brackets, etc.

I agree with you that dumb stream shit where you never have to think about which foot goes where because it's all just left-right-left-right forever is boring and dumb though, and the end restult of that is just making streams that go faster and faster and adding more baby powder.

>>18244090
Window hold hasn't been active in AC for years. What you do is get a heavy object like a book or phone or something and lean it against the start button. It's a little tricky due to the angle, but you can catch the lip against the "how to play" panel on the deck and it'll work fine.

For SDVX just slap your phone on the start button.

Saw a lot of people shitting on the AA remix but I think it's fine.

At least it's not koncert V

>>18246907
>AA-X

It's meh for me.

>>18246907
they're all bad

aa, vv, f, etc.

A and V are fine as is but not worth revisiting

>>18246148
>>18246002
thanks senpai

my accuracy goes to shit whenever I have to hit two notes in a row with the same foot. im not going to crossover fuck that

>>18247435
Same, although shuffling my feet like that wears me out really quickly so in order to start doing 15s I have to learn crossovers. Currently getting better the more I practice but it's still habit for me to always use my left foot for L and D and right foot for U and R

is rank 3 harder than rank 2 on lr2 or the other way around

>>18247435
>I can't control my weight distribution or rotate my hips
Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.

random may not be cheating but it sux

How do you guys handle scratch heavy songs? I play 1P and I'm trying to cover keys 1 & 2 with my left hand but having difficulty making it work. Should I just learn to cover all 7 keys with my right hand and focus only on scratching with my left?

>>18248616

>>18248616
yeah a lot of scratch charts are best played onehanding. if you need to practice basic-ass onehanding, go play 6s on s-ran and keep your turntable hand glued to the turntable (figuratively)

>>18248616
You should be able to cover the turntable and 1~3 with your left hand in all situations so that you can handle individual scratches while notes are very dense on the keys. Your right hand should be able to cover 4~7, and situationally 3~7 and even 1~7 as the scratch density gets higher and you want to devote more of your left hand's power to the turntable.

So you shouldn't "just" learn to cover all 7 keys with your right hand. That's one of many things that you should be proficient at.

>>18249199
>You should be able to cover the turntable and 1~3 with your left hand in all situations

I keep hearing that all the time but I have some trouble with S 3 so I just shift my right thumb to it instead.

What am I doing wrong? Huge hands with long fongers by the way

>>18249434
Are you sure you're not placing your fingers/hands flat?

>>18248740
YO

>>18248893
Not really necessary though unless you are going for like shakunetsu exhc/hard scr 12 AAA. You have to be so damn good for onehanding to be more effective than just normal taka.s tech if you are just hcing hard scr 12s or something below that.

>>18249663
My fingers hover bent above the buttons as if I was playing piano.
I play 1048

>>18248893
Or go the literal route like the dude who taped a stick from his nipple to the TT.
I'd post a link but no idea where it was.

>>18247435
You need to learn to Move Yo Fat Body Freery

Is an HDD out for Usaneko yet?

>>18249434
there isn't technically anything wrong with a 3:5 playstyle

>>18251931
It's still n-0, you won't find it in any of the usual places.

if you care about taiko, you should really download the portable 2 DLC before it's gone forever

why cant i teach myself taka s

>>18250897
you can't just drop that bombshell without a link senpai

>>18253293
because you have not tried hard enough

doesn't this say that you will get 12000Leg if you enter the kac event? am I reading it wrong?

>>18253784
"If you enter the beatmania IIDX KAC Online Event and play the Qualifier Songs, you'll receive a bonus x1.5 Buzz after finishing!" [In Sinobuz]

"You'll also receive 12000 LEG, which you can use in the next installment! *'LEG' will be distributed to the player after Data Transfer" [for Cannon Ballers]

AKA enter the qualifer and play the qualifier songs in Sinobuz, and then you'll get the 12000 LEG when you transfer your card data in Cannon Ballers.

>>18254166

wow, thank you. it's weird though, I did play the songs (in sinobuz they show a KAC icon) , and I did data transfer to CB, but I didn't get the LEG. not sure what I did wrong but thanks for confirming I wasnt missing anything in the translation.

How do I press buttons?
My accuracy is decent, but it's quite depressing being the only one on the shop result who can't pass anything.

>>18253634
It must have been more than a year ago. It was some jap playing at home with a KOC as far as I remember, if that narrows it down for anyone.

>>18254339
Hmm...did you enter the actual IIDX Qualifier Event in the eAmuse App/Website, prior to playing those Qualifier Songs?

I think it would’ve only given you the bonus if you entered. That’s my understanding anyway from having done a previous campaign.

>>18257098
>>18253634
Here’s one of the vids, enjoy (a few more are on the same account): http://youtube.com/watch?v=vD9mjrbNBZQ

I think he’s playing like that to parody wrist-scratching.
*The Japanese words for wrist (手首 tekubi) and nipple (乳首 chikubi) share a kanji, meaning you could make a pun by turning the IIDX/BMS term 手首皿 (tekubi-zara “wrist-scratching”) into 乳首皿 (chikubi-zara “nipple-scratching”).

>>18257360

I've seen the video before but i didn't know about that comparison, that's pretty funny actually

>>18257360
why does he have a towel over the asc

>>18257871
Noise

>>18257360
Why are 2p fags such memelords?

Sorry for wanting to be spoonfed but can anyone tell me the place to order samducks buttons for pop'n?

And is

i friended a mexican guy that plays pump it up at my local round 1 on facebook and he "shared" a video of a dog raping a cat and the cat screeching in pain

>>18258511
What's the difference between the two button models there?

What is a common green number? I'm at 290gn and 315wn

>>18258693
270-300

>>18258511
Thanks.

Am I a brainlet if my gn is 320 and wn 149?

>>18258618
Manufacturer.
Iirc the cheaper ones are daos and the pricier ones are samducks

>>18258693
272gn 150ish wn

I've seen someone play at 260gn though

>>18258693
I'm at 157w/341g

>BAD BOY (donk) BASS!!

>>18259229
no you probably just read for patterns instead of just reacting

>>18258755
>>18258693
depends on your white number
green number isn't note speed it's really more like note density

I use 260/475 which is about the same notespeed as ~300/150 or so but has half of the lane covered

There's probably some equation out there to figure out true notespeed from both gn/wn

>>18259754
In the long run which is better? I assume reading is better.

What's the difference between rivals and challengers? Challenger just appeared on the arcana menu and I have no idea what it means.

>>18260044
Nevermind just figured out. Had no idea so many people had me as a rival. Don't know why they add me but I add some back to not be rude.

>play A SPA
>get an A

If it wasn't for the gay ending I'd have cleared it, pretty easy 12 overall. Had like 70 misses on it whereas I have way more misses on some 11s I managed to NC.

I'm not very good.

>>18260080
>If it wasn't for the gay ending I'd have cleared it
>12

welcome to 12s lol

Chord jacks are harder to me than chord scales. Specially if there's a scratch too.

What should I do? It's the only thing so far that I am unable to learn and I'm almost good enough to clear easy 12s

>>18258055
hmmm thats a good idea

I just don't seem to get the same sense of tactile satisfaction from SDVX that I get from IIDX and Pop'n, I don't get why SDVX is so much more popular

>>18261058
sdvx is popular because:
>it appeals to osu and stepmania players with 4 lanes
>it appeals to weebs with waifu cards and anime tiddy everywhere and vocaloid/touhou songs
>it's extremely easy when you start playing so people get hooked in before the game throws any kind of challenge at you (opposite of iidx)

>>18261058
I like the music

>>18260296
are you talking about innocent walls? its definitely not the easiest 12 in my book even its rated as one of the easiest in statistik.

i personally think if you really want to clear it, just anmitsu it, otherwise just move on. you'll naturally get better at the motion. for practice, there's always the cs styles.

if I'm looking to clear new 12s, i find the ratings at iidx12.tk are a bit more trustworthy than statistik, but i usually cross-reference both.

>>18261133
I have no idea how SDVX appeals to osu players

>>18262280
Less buttons to press and spinning the knobs compared to spin the TTs plus 14 key
IIDX DP runs are still fun to me

>>18241994
Speedups are not only typically easier in IIDX they are also by nature the easiest since in IIDX since by design you will be able to have most keys covered at all times unless you Taka S. and have to scratch, and even then you're -mostly- covered. This basically translates to faster reaction time as opposed to Pop'n, DDR or SDVX where you'd need to move your hands or feet in order to properly react to shit, which is why you get boned by them more easily in those games.

IIDX players are babies about them, yes, because IIDX players are generally purists. They have the the most straightforward type of game that presents good difficulty in a variety of fashions from scratching technique to accuracy requirements. This also means that they're more likely to throw a tantrum when the game requires them to do something unusual because they feel it's "not fair." While I agree that gimmicky thing such as speedups and slowdowns should not be overused, they always bitch and moan about this kind of thing. It's why most of them are unable to see the real difficulty of Voltex or other games that require different kind of skills or abilities, because the need to learn the proper technique to play them is not included in their calculations of difficulty because it's "bullshit." It doesn't occur to most of these autists that there are wider variety of types of difficulty than being accurate, learning density read and spinning the turntable quickly.

>>18262468
bullshit is the new c-show song in cannonballers

the chart is fine but it really doesn't randomly need 220

>>18262468
chill bro

>>18262468
It's easier to swallow in a game where that kind of thing is the norm.

>>18262491
It's one of those misrated 10s that will get bumped into a 11 in the next IIDX.

>>18246476
Are you referring to Rag?

>>18261133
>appeals to weebs with waifu cards and anime tiddy everywhere and vocaloid/touhou songs

no shit, rhythm game thread is in /jp/ for a reason

>>18263371
B-but IIDX is for normal people with mainstream music that can be taken seriously!

>accuracy is better at high speeds
>can't read for shit
aàaaaaaaa

>>18263978
Pay attention to the click clack of your buttons. It helps. Watch videos and see the rhythm of the click clacks.

Click clacks are the answer.

>>18263371
Wasn’t there also a big ass discussion last thread about the new IIDX waifu and continued discussion on who is best?

iidx does moe and weeb shit better than sdvx

>>18263755
Anything by Sharpnel

>>18265055
>it's okay when IIDX does it

why does osu mania make me so mad?
iidx doesn't make me mad, stepmania doesn't make me mad, kshoot doesn't make me mad, but osu mania makes me wanna break something

>>18265530
it is

>>18261133
I used to think that SDVX was really hard because I didn't know to what extent how magnetic the lasers are and I thought you had to twist, stop, twist, stop etc for pic related. Then I tried it and cleared level 8-10s on my first credit

>>18262280
has recognisable Osu! Original Music such as Brain Power, Bad Apple, Blastix Riotz, and anything by t+pazolite
plus "its like 4k with 2 exta buttons and some nipples"

>>18265775
The fun begins at 14-15 where you'll need to use one hand to press both FX while turning a knob with the other.

Also laser charts.

>>18265803
do people roll the nipples with their arms for longer ones or am I the only autista that does that

>>18265851
sorry you're the only one.
Just let go and start again, they're fairly forgiving.

I suppose normal mainstream tastes encompass such auditory vomit as https://youtu.be/qS1wSC-6Yuo

>>18265851
That’s called handblading and it is a goddamn sin against mankind. Stop that.

>auditory vomit

fucking pleb

>>18266626
You could've at least picked true shit like Mad Attack

>>18266626
its a good song tho

>>18268350
I unironically enjoy Mad Attack though.

Not to listen to regularly, but the song+chart combo is really fun.

recently, as i get into mid 12s, i start feeling lightheaded and out of energy after like 30 minutes

am i retarded and not breathing or something

Is that one Mega link still the most up to date for Kshoot svdx4 converts or has the project moved somewhere else? Last update was mid December. If its just dead I guess I can be arsed to convert some myself but I don't know how to get better audio.

>>18262280
because azer played it once and it triggered every bemani fag

>>18268350
*like Break Over

IIDX makes me really depressed

>>18268350
like Otenami Hurricane

>>18268536

The thing about 2dx is that if you want to be good, and reach the endgame, you really need to start focusing on incorporating a breathing technique into your playstyle. For example, 1048 uses Lamaze style breathing.

>>18269457
IIDX is one of the few things that keeps me from trying to kill myself.

>>18270057
is this bait

>>18270381
are you unable to recognize an obvious joke

>>18270285
It normally is for me as well. I'm the anon from like 2 weeks ago that became shit overnight, and it still feels like I haven't recovered in the slightest.

>>18270057

>he doesn't wear an oxygen mask while playing

>>18265559
osumania has retarded user defined timing on maps that let you button mash

>>18270641
so is stepmania but stepmania's actually fun while osumania is just shit
are sm makers just less rhythmically challenged than osu makers

i want more terra songs

>>18270892
Play CrossxBeats.

>>18264635
There shouldn't have been considering Ameto is the one true 王道 route.

Why are rhythm game tourneys so boring to watch

So thanks to sinobuz song retry feature it's really simple to grind a song over and over without going back to the menu
I tried doing it today with hard clearing a song but I just got frustrated playing the first 30 seconds of the same song for like an hour, but i feel like it's one of those things where your reading improves in the next few sessions after the grind
Do people normally play the same song over and over?

>>18271851
But it's the new hot esport...

>>18271851

KAC last year was really fun to watch with the Americans in DDR

>>18271853
Grinding songs for score is for tryhards.

Also posting is shit right now. What are they doing to this place

>>18272066

buy a 4chan pass goyim

>>18271853
That mode is useful for grinding FCs if you have hazard on. You fail at the first combo break and restart there.

Unfortunately I always play worse when repeating a song so I don't use it.

>>18271853
>Do people normally play the same song over and over?
If you have a specific goal in mind, it can be useful. If you're looking to actually improve your skills, your time would be much better spent playing a variety of things.

>>18272066
so it's not just me who got connection errors out of the ass

I'm already hyped for this Carmelia album

>>18272862
is that a boy

>>18272335

How do you turn hazard on?

Next sdvx 20 will be a 350bpm camelia song

I want to ejaculate INSIDE Prim.

Is it true that as of CB there is less latency? Will that translate to the eventual cracked data too?
