I’ve discovered Polyphonix is the most underrated bemani artist there is.

How do people who powerstance that wide even manage to play with someone else on the other side

>>20100206
They most likely don't normally play with other people on the same machine for that reason.

best pop'n song?

Why are white people incapable of not dressing like slobs?

>>20100246

>>20100246

>>20100206
you have to try to fit into each other's powerstances which in some cases looks very gay
>>20100095
I'll be there too ;)

Let's say I want to play DDR or DanceRush again but this time I want more songs rather than the default ones. How can I do it? I played them at Round 1 in Seattle.

>>20100541
I don’t understand this question. What do you mean defaults? Like songs that require no effort to unlock?

In that case...put in effort to unlock songs??

Anyone can guess what he meant by this?

>>20100541
go to the front counter and buy an e-Amusement card

e-Amusement allows you to unlock songs and participate in events,global leaderboards, and other shit that isn't locked behind PASELI.

When you buy it, go to the machine, tap the card on the NFC reader, and create a profile. Every time that you swipe a credit, instead of just hitting start, just tap your e-Amusement card on the reader instead and punch in your pin.

e-Amusement works for all BEMANI games that are connected to the online service, so get ready for the grind

Is that like 600 fucking WN?

knowing that there are people at my level mashing through songs and headbanging at dan courses with zero actual rhythm audible in their mashing that readily upload pictures of B and A results to twitter brings me immense masturbatory satisfaction

Focus on your own scores so you can improve. Other players also don’t think about you as often as you do about them.

nice blog faggot

where do i find someone to blast sdvx stuff for me?

>>20100206
you just tangle your legs up, it's kinda hot depending on who you're playing with

>>20100246
space dog, daikenkai calf remix, magical voice shower, cyber metal, taiko hip-hop are some of my personal favorites

>>20104525
the thought of people who cannot AAA anything in iidx just fills me with laughter, like how is it possible to be that retarded

>>20106117
lmfaoing @ people who do not have at least 1000 AAAs.

>>20106117
its easier to go from kaiden to AAAing 11s than the other way around

>>20106608
Arcades are havens for degenerates and poor people anon, at least in the states

If you don't like niggas maybe don't play arcade games
Or move to Asia because the US is a shithole

>>20105337

That's how.
Still pretty impressive though, unless he is cheating.

>>20110397
I mean it's a hard chart but if you can do it then it isn't super hard to time.

What are some easy 11s in iidx?

>>20110500
Pendual folder.

Is Infinitas worth it or is LR2 good enough?

>>20110942
>Infinitas
Play arcade data instead

>>20110500
see clickagain or iidx.insane.pr ratings and play the lowest rated ones

>>20110500
see clickagain or iidx.insane.pe.kr ratings and play the lowest rated ones

>>20110942
It's easier to find and set up data than lr2 tbqh

>>20111053
>iidx.insane.pe.kr
thanks, this is actually really useful.
looking at 10s and they look pretty close to where i would rate them.

is there a discord or irc i can go to for lr2 tech support instead of shitting up this thread

game runs fine 90% of the time but will randomly be choppy for no apparent reason then go back to normal

>>20111118
>game runs fine 90% of the time
lr2 is abandonware, there is no support. It won't run any better.

>>20111118
Do you have other programs running while playing?
Even a browser open while playing can make it lag if you have a toaster

>>20111146
i do because it's not 1995 anymore, but hardware utilization graphs don't show anything fishy while it's running. sometimes i'll load a song and it's choppy to the point of unplayability, but then i'll back out and reload the song and it's perfectly smooth. if it was consistently poor performance it'd be a symptom of a larger problem that I could identify and fix, but when it's inconsistent idk what to fix

>>20111137
i didn't mean official support so much as other boomers who have already worked though all this shit to make it playable, but i get it. i'll just deal with it.

>>20111236
Post pc specs

>>20111252

Do you use f.lux? I've always had it fuck with rhythm games so make sure you're not running it

I finally felt like I could play like not garbage, but then my wrists and arms started hurting and my doc told me I've got carpal tunnel. Hurts to even type a slightly long email.
Time to get into DDR, I guess. Dance Rush looks cool but expensive as fuck and the songlist looks meh.

Anyone tried the yuancon sdvx controller? Considering buying it.

Are the ssm fags her those fingerless glove losers hogging the sdvx machine every weekend?

uh oh

>>20113273
everyone says it's "well built" but the knobs just sit on the encoders and you can take them off easily, maybe some will see that as a ""feature""
he uses shitty chinese omron clone 400ppr encoders that in my experience are not very good and would randomly drop slams. Copals feel and work better imo

>>20113482
What are your specific qualms

>>20110627
ah yes pendulums is definitely the easiest 11

>>20114809
He meant pendual talisman I think

>>20110453

He isn't.

>>20110484
It's still completely retarded that something this dense can be nearly maxed, and he didn't grind for it either. But again, he got MAX-4 on kyrka 22 which is arguably even more stupid so yeah.
The hardest chart that got maxed as far as I know is witchcraft 21, but that took 0133 an absurd amount of tries and is easier than both.

>>20113225

no shit a doctor is going to tell you that. they want your shekels. take a week off and suck it up.

My local arcade only has DDR Extreme. I went to Japan last month and I was in love with their fucking new machines. I wish my local arcade would buy on of those. I would spend several days there.

>>20114804
I feel like yamabiko is way, WAY too high on the NC chart, along with 100% MiniMooG, Kamaitachi being the same tier as Chrono Diver Pendulums is a joke, fuckin the fact that SPECIAL VACATION is a T6 is the BIGGEST joke.

>>20100204
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19fvuP1Bp6k

One of the few 17s I can get an S

When an arcade imports a game, do they take the legit Asian version and update it as new stuff comes out?
Or do they just get the stock firmware/songs and they rot? Or worse so they get a localized version?

>>20115339
I meant what I said, anon. My first handful of 11 clears were all from Pendual because it has a bunch of easy ones.

>>20117105
All of the above. Depends on the game and the arcade.

>>20116344
Konami doesn't allow any western arcades other than R1 and D&B to buy and use the e-amusement service, which is required for a majority of bemani games to run. Blame them.

I've spent the last 6 months being a neet who does nothing but sit at home and play iidx. I finally hit kaiden should I just end myself now?

WASAPI for SDVX when? Every time I go from IIDX to SDVX I start playing like I'm deaf.

>>20117276
What were you doing prior to the last 6 months?

>>20117251
Are you serious? That's fucking dumb. So there's no hope for the only arcade around me for miles to get a new machine? They are expanding like crazy and making bank too so they have the money, that's retarded. I'm legit angry.

>>20117294
just play at home

>>20117276
Kaiden is only the beginning of the game. You either have a long way to go or should have killed yourself a long time ago.

>>20117282
SDVX isn't keysounded, so who cares. Lasers start autotracking for long enough to mask any latency, and it's not like FX, slams, or the occasional keysounded FX note are worth listening to. SDVX V has new hardware and is probably using Windows 7, so maybe it will be better.

>>20117294
This is why bootleg networks and machines running pirated decrypted data are increasingly common.

>>20117284
School and being a shut-in.

>>20117300
I don't enjoy the game I only played to get kaiden.

>>20117313
So, the latter.

>>20117298
I was planning to eventually but I'm clueless when it comes to building a cabinet, so I was just going to wait until the impulse platforms come out in 500 years to play at home.
I also would like to support the local arcade since it's an amazing and honest establishment.
>>20117300
They are common at arcades or common at people's homes?

>>20117300
Stop telling people to kill themselves.

>>20117309
Just keep being a neet then unless you want to wageslave.
Pick up more games.

>>20117346
lol

>>20117346

>>20117294
>Are you serious? That's fucking dumb
It's Konami, "that's fucking dumb" is their slogan.
I don't think there exists another gaming company with this much wasted potential.

How tall is Dolce? His height seems to be pretty much perfect for the cabinets.

>>20119298
Don't know for sure but saw him in person at Round1 event. He seemed short even when compared to other japs so I'd guess around 170cm at most.

What do you think separates a hard rhythm game from rhythm games that can be hard?

IE Groove Coaster is ezpz until you play shit like solar storm.

>>20121396
Jubeat has a low celing if all you want is to just clear everything. Trying to get SSS or EXC on all songs is another story.

>>20121396
had a conversation with a friend about this and we both agreed that what makes a game like IIDX difficult is that skill ceilings don't really exist in that game, only walls

as opposed to a game like GC where the skill ceiling is painfully obvious. It's not to say that harder songs in GC aren't difficult by their own right, but you just can't compare a two button spam fest to a 7 button hopeless grind.

Even when people finally reach Kaiden, the grind continues for them.

Once you hit 15's with GC, like...that's it, it just turns into a scoring game with no real challenge because the game itself is so incredibly limited with what you can do.

how do i git gud at technical shit in ddr

>>20122123
Stop playing with speed mods. Look ahead and learn how to plan your movements. When something confuses you, look at the chart and try to understand what it is expecting of you.

Just learn to read a few basic patterns, mostly just crossovers and when they resolve and when they don't. Usually involves lowering your hi-speed a bit.

>>20123625
shut up noah

i'd appreciate it if trannies left the thread

tfw youre bad at iidx but you see how cool it looks when dolce plays at high levels and you keep suffering through it anyways with slight hope of getting gud some day

>>20117251
Well, they tried back during the SuperNOVA era. No one wanted it then. There was one public arcade in North America that had DDR on e-amusement.

Most small arcades aren't going to drop $10,000+ on a cab and whatever the continual cost for e-amusement is. Places like Round1 and Dave & Busters aren't making their money off of music games.

>>20125212
does round1 actually make any money? I can't imagine such poorly run stores being profitable

>>20125588
I'm not sure how much money their North American stores are making. Apparently they feel they're doing well enough that they keep opening new ones.
I do know that Stratford Square Mall is one of the worst performing stores, but it's also the smallest location.

>>20125588
They're always packed in Japan. Couples and families on the first floor playing crane games, all kind of weirdos playing rhythm games on their floor, old and miserable people playing medal games on another floor, old and happy people bowling on another floor, groups in karaoke boxes and so on. Every day is a double credit day in some of their Japan stores as well so you get 2 credits in any rhythm game on any given day for 100 yen which is great.

>>20125588
They publish quarterly reports anon
Most of their money is made off of redemption games and bowling in the states

Is there a iidx leaderboard i can see online?

>>20125097

>>20125588
In the states they make money because they open locations in places with really low rent and pay their employees minimum wage.
Sometimes this backfires because locations with low rent are shit and don't get any customers, which is why they were low rent in the first place. The Silver City Galleria location for example is in trouble despite making good profits (according to financial reports) because the mall they're in is going to close. No one knows what will happen then. They seem to be the only outlet in that mall that's making any money, every other anchor store has closed.
If you're autism level interested in this stuff then you can look at their reports like >>20125690

>>20127115
you are fucking weak, the buttons are the best part

>>20125920

yea one of the few things you can see on the website without a subscription is the top ranker tables and the dj rank top tables and the expert course total ranking tables

you can even see you rank on the internet ranking expert courses for free if youre willing the sit there and page through looking for yourself

too bad they dont show the local top5 for these courses on the attract screen anymore. that would make too much sense! gotta show that beatnation logo somewhere!!!

>>20125659
>Every day is a double credit day in some of their Japan stores
i loved round1 machida, they had double credits all month pretty much every other month, and paseli play was 108p

>>20117300
is it confirmed sdvx V is on new hardware?

so if thats true american r1 will get it half a year after release lol

>>20128935
yeah

also were you not around for cb or something
eol of old games after the release date of a new one is one month
r1us gets one month to make the switch before the machines go offline

some corean machines did go offline because ops didn't upgrade

>>20129136
Sinobuz didn't go offline until literally six months after CB came out.

>>20129204
no lmao you're fucking retarded
sinobuz service ended in february and uniana still didn't have kits so they got owned

>>20129225
What's it like in this alternate reality you live in? Do we have Paseli in America there?

>>20110397
chords are insanely easy to time

>>20129247
what the fuck are you talking about anon

everyone runs on the same service endpoint when service ends somewhere it ends everywhere

Every usr1 had cb installed before the deadline which was the first week of february. I think ERM was the last to install it lol. It's cool that you have either no concept of time or you're so new that you don't even know

>>20129271

fucking dumbass or poor bait

has anyone tried pop'n via launchbox?
i have a feeling there'd be an input delay problem, but i dunno shit about it

>>20129594
...what

>>20127115
pop'n is the purest rhythm game just slap the buttons, no other weird input devices

the primal intimacy of slapping large colorful burgers in time to music is the joy

>>20129594
There shouldn't be any kind of input delay issues. You're just using a graphical interface to launch the same file that you would otherwise be clicking on.

how do i get nice and clean sounding button taps

>>20129950
Don't smash them like a fucking idiot.

Gitadora fascinates me and I can keep watching dolce play the drums for a long time.

I want to try it out but don't want to spend some good money on the dtx cause in the end the game mkght not be for me. Will any electronic drum set work for it? Even a particularly cheap and shitty one just to check the game?

And if I can run pop'n and IIDX data, will I run gitadora too? I heard people saying the game's way more bitchy to run right.

>>20131269
Yeah, any MIDI e-kit works AFAIK, I don't think the latencies are that bad. Even the cheap ass chink Ringways or Soundking works.

>>20129950
Smash them, but with haste.

>>20131464
Sweet, thanks.

i turned 28 today
feels bad knowing that if i don't get better within the next two years i'm stuck at 9dan forever

>>20131794
if touring musicians can stay in a decent shape for decades, you can do this too.

>>20131794
play 12

anyone know how old dolce is?
most of the dp top rankers are like 30 now

>>20132037
29 I think. There's a corean wiki page for him.

>>20131269
I got an Alesis Nitro for $350 at Guitar Center, already has a midi converter built in. Setting up gitadora in general is a bitch tho.

it was funny for like a week then it got stale
what's really funny is how his sdvx videos only have views in the hundreds

With the release of Hypersonik and Gamo2's Phoenixwan, I'm finally tempted to migrate to HDD from CS. I've found most videogame consoles to be around 32ms button-press-to-sound and these shitty HDD rips had 57ms, with the actual cabs feeling just as bad. I ran measurements using some random Windows 10 pc and off the shelf mechanical keyboard and Hypersonik finally gets it down to around 32ms. It's such a fucking relief, I haven't been this excited since Empress CS.

>>20140463
Are you even good enough at the game to be this autistic about input lag.

>>20140594
AC has a bunch of input lag anyway so it's not really worth it

>>20140594
of course he isn't

Round 1 in America is such an inferior shameless retarded cousin of the true Round 1 in Japan.

Who is the retard who thought opening Round 1 in a malls were a good idea?

The mall rent and the first floor restriction limits the restriction of replicating a true Japanese Round 1 experience.

Honestly, Round 1 Japan buying up the closed Toys R Us locations would be better.

I checked Round 1 website and their biggest mistake is trying to do everything like bowling and serving food.

Food licenses, drink licenses, etc are a cut in profits.

Should have went for a pure gaming arcade instead of a mix mash of everything.

If people are hungry, they should either enter a joint relationship with some fast food company or just stock vending machines full of snacks or something.

I predict the failure of Round 1 in Japan. Too much expansion in dying malls.

If I was Round 1 CEO, I open Round 1 locations in Round 1 suitable buildings I personally constricted myself.

I am as autistic as you about the audio lag. I bet most of the shitters don't even know or never played with real-time (<10ms) audio to feel the difference.
Too bad hypersonik is still a bit buggy, wasn't updated for half of the year and doesn't work with any of my external soundcards.
Also, I switched to taiko sims because tjap3 supports asio and it is a joy to play on an actual arcade sized drum.

There's someone with a rainbow skill level trying to play real drums and it came out as really awkward.

It's too different.

>>20141539
Japan's R1 has multiple stories I think.

>>20145268
That is true about Japan. There is a necessity to build upward due to lack of real estate in densely populated areas.
But they were saying that American stores were restricted to only being on the first floor of malls. That is false.

iidx hurts my wrist

>>20145450
Lift your hands.

>>20144482

snitch faggot

>>20144785
Gitadora doesn’t encourage the snare and high hat cross hand, which as a drummer feels infinitely more natural. So it’s unlikely you’ll be able to transfer.

Is the spacing on the SVSE5 arcade accurate? Fully upgraded it's cheaper than the yuancon controller, just uglier. If the spacing is accurate, I'll just take the SVSE5.

>>20147423
More or less.

I remembered going from 10 dan to gold wings 11dan from playing a home setup for a couple of months.

What should I do if I'm consistently slow on notes?

I worry that upping my green number will put the notes too close together, and I tried lift+sud(currently already using sudden+) but it didn't help all that much. Is there something else I can try?

>>20148068
Offset?

>>20148083

what is that and how can i do it?

>>20148103
Open the options menu and press effect (or vefx i can't remember) and it'll bring up the advanced options, including offset adjustment. Set it lower for slows and higher for fasts.

>>20148117
It's vefx btw

>>20144780
ooc invites are ass to get as an outsider, and they aren't directly associated with the server you're thinking about

Does anyone here play on this?

While DM doesn't really make you a drummer, it does makes learning easier. You have the coordination and rhythm down, now you erase bad habits and pick up things like dynamics. Some of the high level songs in DM are flat out over-charted (just look at rock to infinity bullshit)

Does anyone have that picture of a guy sitting with an IIDX pad in his lap in front of a SAFARI signpost? It's pretty old

>"oh, let me just shop around for some sanwa pop'n buttons"
>mfw

luckily i actually don't mind the default dao buttons, i just have to go downstairs to play since they're louder than shit

>>20152411
buy samduck buttons

>>20152467

are the samducks pretty good?

I feel like I have been at 9's for half a fucking year. I have only cleared a handful of 10's. How long will this wall take to break through?

>>20152648
You gotta be willing to leave your comfort one.
I only started beating high tie 11s when I stopped exclusively playing easy and mid 11s and forced myself to play the harder stuff.

I got fucked until I slowly started improving.

>>20152648
How often and how long at a time do you play?

>>20152667
I'm trying to leave my comfort zone by playing 10's with a 50% clear rate but most of them just make me mad because my hands can't keep up.
>>20152675
I try to play a few times a week for around 2 hours a session. I have a bad habit of not playing for a couple weeks at a time.

>>20152700
Do you play at an arcade or home and what dan are you? I wouldn't be worried if you haven't progressed more than that in half a year if you only play at an arcade few times a week and go weeks without playing. I'm playing for a year now and I feel like I'm almost the same as you.

>>20152845
I play at home and Im 6Dan. I can get to the last song on the 7th dan course but fail it everytime.

>>20152877
Try to play more regularly and more often since you can do it home even if only 30 minutes a day. Don't know if you use random or not but you should use it on songs that you can comfortably pass so 8s, 9s and the easier 10s. Take it off for the hard songs and also try some of the easier 11s even though you can't pass the harder 10s with low clear rates. The last song on 7th dan is especially difficult if you're not used to playing with random on.

>>20152920
Yeah I never play with random, I'll proably start that. Also what green number should I be around at this level? Right now I'm at 300.

>>20152944
300 is perfectly fine.

>>20151933

>>20148706

seconding this, just figured out that the monitor i'm playing on has a response time roughly half the size of the total pgreat window, and fucking around with my offset instantly increased my timing by a ridiculous factor

is there a straightforward way of converting the number in the offset to some number of milliseconds? i.e. what is, for example, a -0.6 offset in terms of milliseconds?

What's wrong with me if I have to use -2 offset somedays, somedays -0,5 and somedays +1?

>>20153807
Bad monitor check, varying sleep quality, or bad timing.

>>20153821
Monitor is some low-end 4K one, probably has high response time. Diagnosed insomnia. I think most of the songs in IIDX are so animalistic you have to be some kind of african nigger to feel the rhythm. Am I ever going to see a triple A?

>>20153796
1.0 offset is one frame at 60 FPS, so each 0.1 increment is ~1.67ms. + causes the notes to appear later, giving the player the impression that the the windows have moved "earlier" relative to the visuals. - causes the notes to appear sooner, moving the windows "later" relative to the visuals. So your -0.6 offset example requires that you play 10 milliseconds later.

0.0 user offset is actually -2.0 on SD, -3.0 on HD, and -4.0 on HD*. It's not particularly useful to use monitor latency alone to decide what offset to use. You're better off using a high speed camera to see the actual latency of the entire setup, only to discover that you and everyone else actually prefers to play incredibly early.

>>20153850
go play 5s until you find a setting you can triple on, then stop dicking with your offset

>>20153853

thanks for that. i've mostly been just playing some familiar songs over and over to test my timing while tinkering with WN/GN/offset, and for some weird reason i "feel" like i should be pressing about 10ms later than i actually should, thus my -0.6 offset feeling the best for me.

it's possible i could fix this through more wn/gn tinkering (using lift seemed promising but it was a little inconsistent, so i need to test it more) and not using offset, but changing from 0.0 to -0.6 literally upped my scores by a letter grade immediately

>>20153807
I'm the same. I swear the longer my computer is on, the bigger the offset is.

Racist remarks like this aren't amusing, they're inappropriate and uncalled for. Avoid using language like this in the future, please.

Any 6dans want to be rivals before CB drops?

Actually I'm not racist. I have 4 arcade friends and one of them is an african-american and even he doesn't mind me use the n-word.

>>20153942
holy shit that is so true, I thought I was the only one

Is pop'n 12 cs completely broken in terms of clearing? I routinely get 89k+ on a song whilst failing. I feel like every missed note just nukes my bar, no fuckin clue what's jappening

why does every t+paz "song" have extremely loud youtube poop earrape screaming kids in the background
can't help but feel like i got dabbed on when i hear his "music"

>>20154288
get dabbed on son

>>20154279
I didn't know it was possible to get under 98K on old pop'n. It should be fine unless you somehow turned on a funny gauge option, but I don't remember if they even existed in pop'n 12. Post an example results screen. Maybe you're just bad.

>>20154345
nigger i'm failing songs I get a's on on newest pop'n ac, so i'm specifically comparing it to that

>>20154362
Clearing has nothing to do with your score.

>>20154378

alright let me break it down for you since you're clearly handicapped

i'm failing songs that i extremely comfortably passed last week on a cabinet because a single missed note nukes 3-4 of my bars. this is all a pointless discussion now anyway since it seems to be normal after resetting my ps2. i swear some of you nignogs are thicker than hogshit

>>20154399
I already suggested you check your gauge option which you somehow changed by accident and was reset when you restarted the game. Since you left out actually useful information like the amount of gauge you lost per BAD until now, a results screen would have at least provided some information on whether the total BAD count for a given chart seemed reasonable for a clear or not. For future reference, each missed note should take out 51/1024 or ~1.2 bars of your gauge.

Looks like Yuan's team is partnering with some notable osu! players to bring more attention to Bemani...yikes.
osu! autism in the iidx and sdvx community? nty

>>20154726
oof yeah
keep the bemani community autism-free

>>20154750
it's already retarded enough, i don't think that i could handle the crossover autism from a community 8x worse

additional exposure to keep the community alive is one thing, introducing it to extreme autists is another, thanks Horo, Azer, and co.

Anyone have anything to say about this year's BOF? I'm waiting for a collection to be posted.

>>20154750
>keep the bemani community autism-free
the bemani community is one of, if not the most autistic things I've ever seen. adding osushit would only make it even worse.

>>20154726
>>20154762
Of the people who get into it from osu! streamers and actually stick with it is likely minimal. The ones that stick who act autistic will just adapt to bemani autism and act as such

So how do you guys actually get good at the songs?

Just keep restarting until you nail them? Most games don't have a mode to practice or slow down the songs, it seems.

>>20157534
normal practice, listen to them normally, do marginally harder songs than you can handle, unironically pick up an instrument, grind shit for months until you get good, the usual

>>20157534
>restarting
Nah. Some top level players do when they miss but I'm not even close to their level. Also I tend to score worse and worse when repeating a song.

Just find songs you enjoy and play it.

>>20147494
I'll be honest, I have zero understanding of the rank terminology being thrown around here. I think it's based off go/mahjong terms? Is there a guide somewhere for that? I'm only doing 12s right now at the arcade.

Goddamn gitadora is misrated as fuck

>>20158536
He's talking about skill analyzer mode. You can pick from preset courses designed to test your skills by going to the skill analyzer folder at the start of a credit. As for dan, that just means level. The game doesn't refer to them as dans even in Japanese though. You can tell someone is a senile iidx boomer (or just a retard) when they refer to levels in sdvx as dans rather than level 10, 11, ∞, etc or by their default title (剛力羅, 或帝滅斗, 暴龍天, etc).

>>20159148
I'm a 30 year old boomer so there's that.

>>20158808
In Matixx there's a song where the 9.00 bass is way easier than its 8.95 guitar. I think that's fixed now.

>>20159148
That's just part of aging, there's no space left for more proper nouns or unique terminology so you just refer to everything by the first most similar thing you can think of. Like calling every game console a nintendo.

>>20154726
Better than clone hero

How much did top players scores improve from the to CB from Sionobuz with the improved audio?

>>20159196
stop

>>20159148
In that case, level 10 clears to golden level 11 in skill analyzer doesn't seem like much of a jump over the course of months.

>>20160535
Not at all lol people just changed their offset and moved on with their lives

>>20129950
record yourself playing with your phone because the mic is shitty and makes your keytaps really pronounced even in a noisy arcadr

>>20154762
azer has streamed kshoot for years already

>>20162494
There are songs I got rekt on my home setup but I cleared it easily in AC for some reason.

It's probably the bigger screen.

>>20162862
Is there a recommended monitor size/specs for sdvx? I need a new one anyway at the moment.

>>20162965
Pretty sure AC size is 32"

How do clear lamps work in DDRA? Does getting a higher score overwrite your full combo?

>>20164057
nah you keep the highest money score and highest lamp

>>20160535
top players already knew how to adjust to the broken timing, it's more relevant to intermediate players

Hey bros. How’s the Groove Coaster PC port?

Will playing SDVX or any other rhythm game fuck with my iidx progression? Is it best to stick with 1 game at a time?

>>20164852
Depends on how serious you are about progress and how much you play each game.
My IIDX timing suffers slightly at the beginning of the session after playing SDVX, but it recovers fairly quick. I personally find SDVX harder to get back into, since all the charts are so stupidly fast and obtuse to read compared to all the simple 2D reading with 150-200 BPM in IIDX.
You might be fine with other games, but I'd say these two are too different, so you should probably stick to one or the other if you want lots of progress.

Any ero rhythm games out there?

Yes but sdvx will not help with anything short of melting your brain and turning you into a weeb horny degenerate

i started in 2008 with 9th style but playing the early styles still feels nostalgic for some reason
feels like the keysounds were actual full samples back then and not just 1/1000th of a chopped-up song

will i be seeing any of you autists at r1 on tuesday

DJMax respect is a lot more fun with a keyboard than it is with a controller, to be honest.

>>20165332
This could be quite good if the budget was more than 200 yen. Surprisingly fun though, considering how unpolished it is.
