Having a home setup is cheating

i wrote this replying to that retard that called steel edge an 11 in the last thread before realizing it was dead

it's "12 difficult" all the way through. the ending just doesn't get drastically harder than the rest of the song

clearing steel edge doesnt mean you can nc a lot of other 12s but ncing isn't the battle, theyre literally charted bad to cuck you out of nc in the arcade and get you to pay more. a lot of people fall into this trap i think, of believing that hard 11s and all 12s exist in the same realm as low 11s and 10s which are "fair" to normal clear and where playing them well means consistently ncing.

playing steel edge well means you can play other low 12s well except for maybe their endings/hell measures

Been playing DJMax for almost a week now and I've got to say the sense of progression in this game is a really good feeling. Best gaming experience I've had in a while.

>>18823270
I flatline macuulxuthejele the entire song while my gauge is full for the entirety of Steel Edge.

>Trying to break into low 12s
>They all feel doable the entire way through, like a smooth progression of hard 11s
>When all of a sudden, at the very end, they get retarded and I lose my entire gauge.

I think I'm noticing a pattern here.

at what point does THE SAFARI's chart start to make sense? i have dozens of 10 AAs and As on the older/harder ones. starting to think i won't be able to get 7th dan until i'm clearing most 11s.

>>18823904
forgot to mention that i'm playing everything comfortably on random as well

>>18823904
Once you beat it. Just play it on mirror and mash for 7th.

>it's "12 difficult" all the way through. the ending just doesn't get drastically harder than the rest of the song
It's almost like the entire chart is considered when given a difficulty rating, and being mad about lots of charts having harder endings doesn't change that. Using the easy parts of other 12s as a reference for what "12 difficult" means is very silly. If anything, the harder parts should be the reference. Like >>18823705 mentioned, Macuilxochitl SPA is an excellent example of a chart that's "11 difficult" the whole time. The only tricky parts of Steel Edge SPA are the backspin scratches, and those mostly exist to make it annoying to FC and hardly matter otherwise.

I don't know why people get offended over being told that their accomplishments are shit by strangers over the internet. If you're satisfied with the game telling you that you cleared a "12", then stick with that. Then again, if you weren't looking for validation, you wouldn't have posted here in the first place.

>>18823904
I remember sliding my fingers at the 6-7 trills.

>>18823800
yeah macuilxochitl is a misrated 12

>>18823904
its not a directly comparable kind of difficulty like that, you can practice safari to get better at safari

but really unless you're going full fucking retard at the sight of the safari's patterns, you should be able to mash through it if you are like, ncing and hcing most 10s

>>18823998
i'm not the one who made the original post about clearing steel edge. i am better than you.

>>18824442
>i am better than you.
Post scores.

Grace is a cute

>>18823270
thanks for taking my joke seriously anon but there's a reason it's basically every new gen's first 12 with low misscounts

song requires basically no stamina lol

gday everyone

>>18825517

Has there been a truer statement in these fucking threads

Guy who cleared Steel Edge here.
I didn't start this dumb discussion. Don't include me on this.

>not playing osu in 2018
>instead you play some other shitty tier rhythm games
explain yourself, anon

random is cheating

>>18825561
i miss him

why did sows die

>>18826753
Because other places started doing a better job

>>18826753
in what way

>>18826753
combination of factors but basically uk takeover plus newgenners sucking at posting made everyone cool leave, or they got banned.

>>18826753
They banned the cool people.
SOWS is known for late releases and bans.

>>18826688
what happened to him?

>>18827106
killed by a kangaroo

>>18827106
banned from sows without a good reason. still exists, doesn't play iidx that much. i think he plays granblue now lol

>>18827175
>without a good reason
Wasn't he publicly streaming Sows data on PSun shortly after the PWorld shutdown.

>>18827175
He got banned for streaming data on twitch

Is Technika Tune worth playing?

>>18829057
If you can get used to the small screen, sure.
The responsiveness is spot on and the difficulty is closer to arcade instead of the tablet versions which are easier.

>want to play IIDX on official eamusement
>im spic
>no round1 here
>my only option is INFINITAS

Why

>>18830081
Official eamusement sucks my dude.
All the new content is gated and forces you to grind and spend a lot of money.

>>18830308
some people have autism and like unlocking things more than they actually like playing the game and having all the songs to choose from

>>18830081
go play in japan
it's the only way amigo

>>18830897
>>18830081
Or Thailand. They have lots of PIU cabs there too.

>>18830897
>>18831056
I wish i had the money to travel, also, sady, even if round1 started appearing in latinoamerica, they would probablly only focus on mexico, and im from argentina, so im cucked out of cabinets anyway

i bought djmax respect
suddenly carpal tunnel
oh shit no game i just bought for a week+
any tips?

>>18831442
>oh shit no game i just bought for a week+
Huh? Stretch and do hand and wrist exercises before and while playing.

>>18831475
very important to heal or prevent carpal tunnel by avoiding the activities that caused it, atleast until better. which in my case is likely fighting and rhythm games. does playing with numb, strained and weak hands sound like a good idea to you?

>>18831508
Get a wrist brace

>>18831527
wear too long make muscles weaker. weaker muscles=more problem=more pain in the ass.
only professional tips /jp/ i am of the highest standard.

>>18831442
carpal tunnel from just a week of playing? weak. you should stop playing until it goes away though, and after that make sure to do hand stretches before, during, and after.

>>18831668
nah i haven't been able to play all week since i got carpal tunnel before even starting it! im mad! i think i need to fix my posture for the most part but your advice is sound.

I hit 600 PFCs on expert/challenge on DDR A. Can i consider myself decent now?

>>18831714
ok chris

>>18831714
You will always be shit, sorry

>>18831714
are you any good at charts 15 and up

>>18831787

16 15s, 4 16s.

>>18831867
alright, yeah, that's pretty good. i just can't stand people who only play like 10-13 range charts lmao

I mean, I don't like the game too but you guys need to chill

New BMS dans came out today. How's the grind going, /jp/?

>>18829135
I just bought it and have no idea how to hold the vita. Do I rest on a table?

>>18832109
Where?

>>18832102
It's funny how in the end haters are the ones who promotes the game the most.

Why is KSM such a huge pile of shit?

>no hispeed locking feature
>interface is ugly and sucks to navigate compared to SDVX
>lasers are awkward and snappy, also way easier to cheese than on SDVX for no good reason
>major timing differences in the community charts
>input gate is slow as shit and can crash your client when it times out

What is this pile of shit? Wouldn't you expect an unofficial game client based off of an arcade game to have a lot useful features the original didn't, and not the other way around? What's keeping them from improving it? Autism? Is Konami breathing down their neck?

>>18834851
You forget that it's coded in Hot Soup Processor.

>>18823800
>>18823270
for clearing its mega easy because of the hcns but for scoring its on par with the rest of the easy 12s. its rough because it would either be a bs 11 or an easy 12 so it fits fine as either. they only rerate egregious shit like uh oh being a 10

>>18834851
https://github.com/Drewol/unnamed-sdvx-clone
try this out, its not complete but for me it has more than enough to replace ksm

>>18832109
I need to derust and get insane 4th again.

>>18826758

>>18836523

1cc, the containment home of the most cancerous annoying people online

i'm doing 100 pushups daily to build wrist strength for iidx

stop making fun of wrist scratchers

>>18834851
Masaka stopped giving a fuck.

>>18834851
Masaka lazily made a sim which gives an entire community an excuse to not make one that's better despite KSM being a massive pile of shit. The lack of alternatives also allowed him to be all spergy about it as well (no vertical display because MUH KONMAI WILL SUE despite the fact that vertical displays in arcade games has been around since before I was even born).

>>18835532
It shares a lot of the problems with KSM such as a high speed lock feature being absent and no practical fast/slow notifications. Also, there is no editor, offset needs to be change in the config manually, and there has been zero development done on it in months.

I don't get how DDR fans make a functional sim in the early 00s that can run fine on hardware that is arguably worse than Extreme. Do Nips just suck ass at making functional emulators, or are KSM and LR2 just two comically bad outliers?

>>18839648
>Do Nips just suck ass at making functional ________?
Yes.
It's probably like >>18839631 said; there's very little incentive for the open-source simulator since KSM works enough to be fairly convenient, and anyone with access is probably playing data with PFree edits anyway.

>>18839648
>Do Nips just suck ass at making functional emulators
yeah i mean ksm is coded in fucking Hot Soup Processor

>>18839631
what's funny about this is you could replace ksm with LR2

>>18839648
>high speed lock feature being absent
it has cmod, xmod and mmod
>and no practical fast/slow notifications
not sure what you mean by practical but it has them
>there is no editor
someone else is working on an editor, though idk if it will actually get finished
>offset needs to be changed in the config manually
definitely a problem and the dev has said he plans to add a way to set it ingame
>there has been zero development done on it in months

Crossbeats is being taken offline. Not sure if that affects anyone in these threads though.
https://twitter.com/crossbeatsREV/status/985744930034208768

>>18841442
Some guys on sows apparently already have an unofficial server running and are just wanting until capcom deletes the game from existence.

Maybe I'll actually play it then.

Gigadelic is a impossible song

>sightread a song
>67%

>>18842986
+5730

>>18842812
>sightread something and almost clear
>play it again, massive score raise, not even close to clearing

hmm

>>18842777
if this is for 8th dan specifically dan bar is so ezmode that you can go into gigadelic with 10% groove gauge, get free bar for like 80% of the song and then just tank it at the end
8th dan is literally just a test if you can make it to gigadelic after that it's free

>>18843149
Just don't get a string of bads at the end though. There's not many things shittier than failing 8dan there.

>>18843164
yeah I mean it's a fucking anmitsu test lol it's not like passing a dan requires you to be able to pass any of the songs for real

>>18839784
well that explains a lot

>>18842777
8th dan is fucking free and if you cant do it you're bad

protip: if you lose a significant amount of life anywhere in the course except for the ending of gigadelic you're not good enough yet just don't bother

it kills me to see shitty players smash their heads against dan courses when they literally aren't good enough

Arena mode having offline downtime between online "seasons" or whatever the fuck you wanna call them is pretty homo, as is not being able to level your arena rank by playing local matching.

Hopefully konmai in the future can make the online events a little more contiguous. Still a really fun mode though and probably one of the best ways to play in america if not just because you get 4 songs per credit.

>>18843388
yeah there's no good reason that it isn't just always running, but japanese companies just love to punish their playerbases for not devoting every second of their lives to the game

>>18840036
I never even knew about there being a github for patch notes. I mostly based my assumption based on how dead the thread was on reddit. I stand corrected.

Thank you.

Is modern IIDX locked to 16:9?
Using SD on a 4:3 monitor results in a squeezed image. Is there any setting or anything that can fix it, or do you just deal with a super thin lane when playing on a CRT?

>>18843388
The 4 songs per credit is nice, I just wish there was a way to manually force the timer on looking for players to end. If there's not 3 other players right away they're not going to show up.

>>18843814
ldj is native 720p and even on official cab crts it's just squished down, it looks and plays like complete ass

the cab crts are wide, though. they're not 4:3 physically

>>18843814
SD mode squishes it to 4:3 since, on cabinets, the widescreen CRT just stretches it back out. I just used HD on my CRT monitor and fussed with the geometry until the aspect ratio was correct. I played 1P, so I stretched it horizontally and centered it such that the 2P side fell off the edge of the screen since I didn't need that side anyway.

>>18843836
>official cab crts
>plays like complete ass
Fight me.

>>18843871
the old games obviously play perfectly on crt but ldj iidx feels like shit in sd mode/on crts, it's very clearly implemented as an afterthought

>>18843814
No AC style has ever been 4:3 that was something unique to CS, SD mode is 800*480
CRTs on AC cabs are wide as mentioned by >>18843836 though playing like ass is incredibly incorrect

>>18843817
There is, if your dumbass could read nippongo you would know hitting start ends matchmaking

>>18843874
Maybe you're using the wrong offset for it or something. The CRT Cannon Ballers machine I frequent is lovely and I get 99% scores on it regularly. The ghosting on even the best LCD monitors gives me eye cancer.

>>18843876
SD mode is 640x480.

>>18827092
Honestly sows should just unban everyone at this point. They're losing relevance and membership fast so they might as well let everyone back in

>>18843910

damn these threads suck now

>>18845412
They always did. Rhythm games general has consistently been one of the worst threads on /jp/ due to the amount of tech support, lolsowsvs1ccvswhatever bullshit, and general retards from /v/ or /vg/ showing up. If people learned to google their issues or just ask where they got their data the thread wouldn't devolve into this shit all the time.

No thanking.

So reflec and crossbeats are on their way out.

Is this it for touchscreen music games, are there even any others left? Why did they fail?

>>18845619
touchscreen games are inherently shit

>>18845466

None of that was relevant before pworld went down

>>18845038
I thought 1cc hated trannies more than sows

>>18845619
the experience is not unique enough to warrant an arcade release when we have mobile games

>sows

lol. you western trannies will never get on bemanichan

>>18846615
Maybe its because they only accept japanese people

>>18846615
What does bemanichan have that I don't?

>>18846729
N-0 data

lol I love how these threads are always pretty active but there usually aren't a large amount of posters and I swear to god I see a lot of you on mgh like sometimes shit just gets copied and pasted from there.

>>18846906
But I do have N-0. A lot of people do. These days, there are more data sources than you think.

>>18846906
And what's that supposed to mean for things like SDVX? Wow, they have like ten songs more, I'm so jealous. I'm pretty sure they don't actually have stuff like CB yet.

i got kaiden

>>18846729

I was checking out the new EX charts in Project Diva Future Tone and looked into Disappearance of Hatsune Miku.

SEGA is this a joke? This chart just isn't possible, not even by the most hardcore of Asians.

I'm almost clearing 10* EX Jugemu Sequencer and having fun, but I wish thst had made some new easier charts.

What are the best VR rhythm games right now?

>>18860629
I think they just put that in so no one could complain about a lack of endgame.

>>18860629
Those new charts are pretty annoying overall need some time getting used to those swirling multi notes.
And I am also still not good enough at fast notes with arcade mini controller though changing springs helped a bit.

tfw 40 fasts 300 slows

>>18862524
tfw familiar songs are fine but anything slightly over my skill level and i'll get 50 slows 250 fasts whether my offset is +0.0 or +2.0

>>18862849
Stop changing offset and change your hispeed instead. Or train your accuracy.

Colors is a good song.

>>18860567
I wish I could play pop'n. Looks fun.

>>18862849
you should probably read a bit faster if your reaction instinct is to rush the shit out of everything

What? You mean because the charts are bad, or why is that? All the songs in SDVX are great, especially Gerbera and Zephyranthes.

I kinda like Sterling Silver. I really like the U1 remix of it a lot more though.

guys i started playing pump it up and it's a lot of fun
only problem is dealing with people who are constantly jumping on the pads when you're playing, mimicking your movements, filming you etc
do dance players really put up with all this shit? i liked being left alone at the iidx cab

Didn't realize some cum hit my turbocharger and one of the screws ended up rusting. Anyone know the size for replacement? The rust is only cosmetic but remembering how it happened annoys me.

>>18868925
Let’s not get into that.

>>18867138
I want to have early/late notifs since sometimes I'll think I got a perfect but then find out I got one 90% (mostly at some random chord), or at least an option to turn on rate % by default instead of having them available only for certain missions. Also, make the rate multiplier graphic less visually noisy or move it off to the side.

>>18870533
Yes, just learn to put up with it. Being confrontational about people recording/mimicking you can possibly escalate the situation into something much worse. You're playing in public, just deal with it.
Tell the people jumping on the pads to get off though.

Or just get swole like >>18870915 said.

I see little boys wanting to play DDR but backing out because they assume people will think they're gay all the time.
Their dads are even like "just go for it there's nothing wrong with it".

Meanwhile little girls love jumping on the board then backing out.

Congratulations, you have RSI.

>>18875517
No, that's a perfectly normal occurrence when you play kb stepmania. Basically, >>18875702
.

what button type and setup did the old popn KASC use

>>18873058
>>18870533
filming and such is harmless, imo. you're in public, and it's equally likely that they're impressed as it is that they might be making fun of you. even if they are making fun of you, they're jealous because they've never applied themselves to be good at anything at all.

but if children are running on the pads, you gotta look for their parents and get their attention, and if adults are, you can tell them to stop politely because you're trying to focus on the game, if that fails, you could try talking to r1/d&b staff and maybe get a refund on your game or get them thrown out.

also being swole does actually help

on a more serious note, what do you do if your arms tense up while smashing switches on something really hard? i end up just failing out, don't want to risk more pain.

>>18876010
I'll usually just finish the song and take a break.

everyone i know who has played kb sm has quit due to rsi, you get a few good years of playing that game at most

>>18876723
Yet the best keyboard BMS players have been playing keyboard vsrg's their entire life and are doing fine.

>>18876920
Could it be because with IIDX and its derivatives your hands move around more so it's not the same finger movement 100% of the time like it is with stepmania?

>>18877074
I doubt the charting style of IIDX matters for BMS overjoy. At that point you're spamming the same keys just as much, just with four additional lanes and inputs.

>>18877098
stepmania specifically is really rough on your hands. bms much less so, but it still is.

>>18877098
Actually, high overjoys don't go into 270bpm territory like SM does. Most of the super hard shit is in the 200-222 range, which is sort of middle tier for SM in terms of speed.
BMS is definitely not as taxing on your wrists.

>>18877155
>not as taxing on your wrists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XquyTiHmhFA

>>18877168
I'm not saying BMS isn't taxing, I sweat like a motherfucker during my sessions. It's just that it doesn't reach the same levels of speed and wrist wrecking, unless you go looking for super obscure 10 playcount charts. The challenge isn't purely speed.
I don't play SM myself, but 134bpm chordjacks should be child's play for them.

>tfw finally got 8dan
feels good

>>18875792
The part that holds the plunger was molded into the shell of the controller and it used weird little microswitches. Buttons are not replaceable unless you extensively mod the shell of the controller. They are still 100mm though. From what I've read before the controller is insanely loud to play on.

>>18876010
You're likely not really ready for the density. If dense patterns catch you off guard and you're hitting extra hard for accuracy, you end up hurting your forearm or upper arm trying to hit hard in time for the next note. At least that was my problem going into medium 12s. I had a strict comfortable rhythm when hitting chord steams, but pattern complications would make me tense up various parts of my arm since I wasn't expecting it.

I taught myself to temporarily hit lighter on 11s and working my way back up. I definitely feel less pain now and I think my muscle memory is smarter about when I'm able to hit hard. Hope this helps.

Hey, it's a miracle Konami is even doing anything for A at this point.
I'd like to think they've been holding back on content because we're getting a new version for the upcoming 20th anniversary in September. But that's hopeless optimism.

One of my buttons on my SVSE5 get kind of "stuck" for the lack of a better word when I press down on the right edge of it. I bought it a couple months ago and haven't even used it till today. Anyone know this problem? I opened it up and there is nothing blocking it.

>>18884109
scrub it with a toothbrush or something or add a tiny amount of lube

>>18884109
dao buttons stick because theyre cheaply made. try taking them apart and cleaning them, and sanding the edges to get rid of extra plastic

>>18884109
Just rotate the button itself 180 degrees inside the holder. It's probably misaligned.

How do I get a max- score on icarus black another

>>18884368
hit the buttons and spin the disc when the notes cross the red line

>>18884109
Clean it or rotate it.

>>18883936
>I'd like to think they've been holding back on content because we're getting a new version for the upcoming 20th anniversary in September
Then they've been holding back since the end of 2016. Even Museca had more songs put into the game last year and it was pretty much killed off in the Summer sans a random end of year update.

>>18885146
>Then they've been holding back since the end of 2016

It's not too much different compared to how they handled 2014. Back then it was the occasional crossover and HinaBitter. Now it's the occasional crossover and Tokimeki Idol.

We're 25 months into A, 2014 lasted 22 months.
Either they're purposely delaying the game, or they just don't care about the series anymore.

>>18885475
They don't care about the series, honestly. Their main market couldn't care less about DDR at this point and they're probably just keeping it alive to make good on whatever contracts they signed to make it available outside Asia

Im a brainlet, if you more earlies than lates do you offset + or -? Also what is a good song to test it in SDVX?

BMS is
1) Not the same game as IIDX
2) Something that does not matter given the scope of being good at IIDX, look at dolce he doesn't play BMS and is unquestionably the best IIDX player in the world

>>18886213
Good job anon you read to the end of the post, proud of you

>>18886427
It's a shitpost anon are you lacking brain cells

>>18886526
>Something that does not matter given the scope of being good at IIDX
Only an idiot disregards BMS like this. It's the most efficient tool to improve once you can play 12s. Improving density = improving timing on less dense shit.
Accuracy comes on its own, in like half the time and effort you'd spend by autistically grinding 11s for timing, and you'll have the added bonus of not having your brain melt when playing Go Beyond. You can't train everything on IIDX alone.

>>18886533
T-Thanks uwu

>>18886526
>look at dolce he doesn't play BMS
I mean, I think the entire statement is fucking stupid, but this here is wrong. He does play BMS and he's even overjoy on it.

Took them fucking long enough

>>18886952
>He does play BMS and he's even overjoy on it.
I'm not that person, but I've literally never seen any evidence of this. Would love to see source of that info.

About to turn my ps2 on for the first time in years and play cs Empress with my dao.

What am I in for?

>>18886952
>>18887068
upon multiple occasions dolce has been asked if he plays BMS and he's said no, when pressed for why he's said he doesn't need to because he plays AC

>>18886666
>you can't train everything on IIDX alone
you sure can, the game has so much music and is so end loaded in terms of difficulty these days

also
>Improving density = improving timing on less dense shit
yeah ok explain to me the BMS mains who play IIDX and get EXHC lamps on hard 12s but get like a low A. Niggas don't know how to pgreat.

How am I supposed to sightread this

>>18887937
You could upgrade to chink 400ppr omron clones but you need to change the IO board for that to work, short of that you can change to shitty cheap detentless mechanical encoders and cap the output for jitter, uh Bosch might make some iirc

Also copals are not that bad if you import them from jp I think it comes to roughly $40 shipped per encoder

>>18887708
>you sure can
But why would you ever play the same 20 songs all over again when there's literally thousands of comparable or higher difficulty waiting for you on BMS?
>end loaded
Double digit insanes isn't high end anon.

>explain to me the BMS mains who play IIDX and get EXHC lamps on hard 12s but get like a low A
Nice cherrypicking. But anyways, it would mean they're barely good enough to EXHC them. BMS lets you improve so quickly your accuracy gets left behind for a while. Ask the same guy to play it again after a couple months when he's playing way denser shit and he'll have no problem getting a decent score on it.
Also EXHCing/FCing requires a very different kind of focus from scoring. Not many players can do both things perfectly at the same time.

>>18888084
It's got the sort of nasty laser patterns you'd expect to find in an 18. I personally think it's one of the hardest 17's, definitely harder than Dyscontrolled Galaxy.

>>18887201
Nevermind my ps2 disc driver is apparently busted and scratched the heck out of the empress disc.

Luckily it was a pirate copy. Imagine if I wrecked that expensive game.

>>18885475
>they just don't care about the series anymore
Definitely this. Remember that everyone lost their fucking shit at KAC 2016 when Ace was announced because the game was assumed to be on death row by everybody and their grandma. Calling DDR a dead/dying game is Nintendoomed-tier shitposting but with none of the irony from those prophesying the end of the franchise.

>>18887708
taka.s, licht, k-cha, una-10, etc all play bms extensively and obviously score well

thank

>Getting AA's like crazy on sdvx
>have never gotten a AA+ on iidx
How many frames is a critical?

>>18889687
AA in IIDX is more like an AAA+ in SDVX.

>>18889687
>implying AA's on sdvx are good
It's like a 10 ms difference. And you're shit at both games.

>>18889750
Im playing GW, but I figured.
>>18889776
>the second highest rank isn't good
And I am trash at both. I just started SDVX yesterday

>>18889807
Nigga what version of sdvx are you playing. AA's are the 5th highest rank you can get.

>>18889826
I thought they added S and + ranks in 4? Im playing Gravity wars

>>18889838
They added S because AAA was completely meaningless. Anything less than an AAA can barely even be considered a good score when people can PUC everything.

>>18889986
I agree, but I think you're slightly underestimating the amount of difference there is between a top ranker and the average inf dan. The amount of people who are able to PUC 20's can be counted on a single hand.

>>18890098
Yes, but if he's excited about getting AAs I sincerely doubt he's even close to 20s in the first place.

>>18890125
Im not really excited by AAs. And I am play 11s, I'm not sure what that would be in 4.
