sdvx is better than both

>>22036282
sdvx is easily the most unfun arcade rhythm game out there
literally just spread style stepmania lmao
but it has cute anime girls plastered everywhere so niwaka think it's the greatest thing ever

>>22034792
what the fuck is with this shark plushie

>>22036685
I'm pretty sure that's actually just a pillow. Also don't try to make sense of memes, shit just happens sometimes.

Hey all, what's a good introduction to the genre and how do I get gud?

>>22037583
Pick whatever game seems interesting to you and you have access to.
Play it a lot.

Sigh. I can still only make it up to level 30. More practice, I guess.

>>22039680
Use the bottom of your hands when playing pop'n too. Smashing 3 buttons at once with one hand is satisfying.

>>22039680
You haven't even started playing the game anon

When's the DRS soundtrack dropping, I want an extended version of Love 2 Shuffle goddammit.

>>22042178
It took 3 years for a DDR A soundtrack. Konami isn't in any hurry.

>>22037583
There's a demo of DJMax Respect for the PS4, grab that. It has very good, popish music and doesn't require a special controller.
Otherwise, if you're looking into playing something with a controller, look up the location of a Round 1 arcade near you and play some of the rhythm games there. Most Bemani (Konami music games) games can be found there, and are available on PC with varying degrees of legality. 3rd party controllers are also available.
As for getting good, playing as many songs as possible is the fastest way to get good. There are other tips specific to each game (see: random in IIDX), but the best thing to do is to not just grind out one song over and over. Self improvement is the best thing about this genre, and just memorizing one chart isn't going help you with any other one.

>>22036654
Sexy anime girls are what make a game fun, not whatever bullshit your autistic brain considers fun.

These nerds hate osu but its osu. Its free and has several different game modes. A lot of the maps are shit so you need to be careful with what you download, but overall it will help you decide if the genre is for you or not.

Yearly bemani crossover event soon

>>22044809
I disagree. It's not that Osu isn't as "cool as my 20 year old weeb game", it has major problems that lead to bad habits, mainly pertaining to the PP system. Hell, even as a pedestrian view of the genre, one of the biggest appeals to me was checking out all of the original high quality tracks and the sense of accomplishment clearing a chart would give me. Clearing 1:30 anime openings with a mouse and keyboard got boring after a couple of hours. Clearing BrandNewDays 4b for the first time in DJMax years later cemented my love for the genre

>>22045079
Also Osu!Mania is garbage and still has next to no maps, Taiko's readily available on most modern consoles and done better, and Catch the Fruit is a meme that could have been alright if anyone gave a shit.
Plus like, the community is dogshit. This thread, which usually devolves into complaining about trans people and Twitter nobodies is still better than most Osu! hangouts

>>22037583
etterna

>>22045079
Let's be honest. None of that matters. Osu is gay and peppy is a fag. Play BMS

>>22044874
did anyone even remember the bemani vtuber existed until this event was announced

>>22045101
My biggest complaint about osu are the 'beatmap nominators'. They all make trash maps and approve each others making most maps feel generic as fuck and try squeezing as much PP as they can

>>22036685
it's cute

that's it

ROOTAGE NOW

>>22045079
I view osu differently. I saw osu as another way to enjoy my 1:30 anime openings and vocaloid songs and I got what I wanted. Playing multiplayer let me discover different songs and some of those were fun. If I went back to see some of the challenge maps now I may just give up and dismiss them as stupid but back then they were a challenge and I had a blast trying to clear them.
osu is the most casual gateway into enjoying the high of chart clearing; in a good way. If you like that high, you will seek it out elsewhere as well. If you don't, then you probably wouldn't enjoy rhythm games.

When I started playing osu, I couldn't clear AbstractNonsense and it was my tippy-top goal to clear it. After four years of playing, it's ironic that finally clearing it was what made me lose interest and uninstall.
It was fun while it was.

TJAPlayer3 or TaikoJiro?

>>22049636
anon you have brain cancer and should seek medical assistance

Chuunirhythm or whatever the name is is fun.

LLSIF is best rhythm game of all time

>>22044874
What do I vote for to get the rest of the Tokimeki Idol songs into Bemani games?

>>22049834
TJAPlayer3 if you prefer visuals and aesthetics in exchange for a few quirks the simulator has.

Taikojiro if you prefer functionality over aesthetics. Jiro is also the more "standard" and "competitive" alternative of the two, being the standard used in many Jiro scales created in the Japanese community.

real good sign when a game goes from perfectly fine to totally fucked over the course of maybe an hour

Get out and have a go before the cabs get fucked like PHM's.

>>22057370
What happened at PHM?

>>22056766
I certainly hope it's going to have a horizontal mode. IIDX on a vertical phone seems like a miserable time.

>>22057370
Isn't that the game's fault for crashing when you try to play with a JP profile

>>22059299
IIDX on a phone sounds like a miserable time. Playing Jubeat, Reflec Beat, and DJMax Technika on anything smaller than a tablet is a dumpster fire. If you're going to end up using your ASC it would be better just to play it on your computer anyway. Who the fuck are these geared towards?

>>22059259
The cabs are prone to sensor issues.
It might be like Dancerush initially was where the techs just didn't know how to maintain it yet.

>>22057370

>Round 1 Arlington

LOL if that thing lasts even 1 week it will be a miracle

does anyone play stepmania anymore?
i've got one of those foam dance mats and it works really well. there's no more ddr machines in town these days though, so the only time i get to play is at sakuracon

>>22062504
I do, I made my own pad but don't talk about it very much as people in these threads seem to be annoyed at boomer ddr players. I also suck so I'm too embarrassed to show stuff.

>>22062504
I play split on keyboard

>>22062504
>PNW

How do I get a Chunithm machine?

>>22063208
Move to Japan and open an arcade

>>22062504
Stepmania is nice and convenient for home use. I can play nice long sessions and switch between singles and doubles instantly. Having access to just about any chart you want is great although I keep separate installations for my ITG and DDR stuff.

How do people obtain arcade machines? I'm assuming that most private owners buy them but for businesses, are they leased and maintained by another company? Or are they bought and in-house techs have to learn how to maintain and repair them?

>>22063845
Can be either. A larger arcade is typically going to buy its own machines from a distributor like BMI Gaming or Betson and employ their own techs. Smaller businesses such as a bowling alley or pizza place might pay a vendor to put machines on location. The arcade vendor would then be responsible for maintenance of the games.

>>22063845
>>22063948
This is becoming less and less true as arcades are operating at slim margins and so the cheapest way going forward has been for operators to buy stuff at auction and cut out the middleman. Companies that don't do this either fail or earn all of their profits through other means, like selling goods/food and beer. What was previously reserved for big box stores at the beginning of the millennia has become readily accessible to little barcades etc. thanks to the proliferation of the used market. This also means that all of the machines are likely old and poorly maintained.

>>22063845
If you're talking jp games then no american distro/vendor even sells those, you gotta import them through a jp distro and get them put in a container and on a boat.

This is Ichika-chan.

A week ago I had NC'd 0 11s total
This week I NC'd 5 11s and I feel like a god even though I'm still bad

>>22062567
i suck too, can only play the easy songs on heavy. you make your mat out of wood and plexi? does it have a bar?
>>22063108
its one of the best places in the US, as long as you're not in the big city.

is there any reason using TJAPlayer's DSound make most of my charts mute?

>>22068227
Designed it in CAD, had a local shop laser it and bend it out of aluminum, I machined some other parts for it (blocks in the corners to hold the springs and corner pieces that hold the arrows in) and bent/welded/assembled the backbar. As for skill level (or absence of it), to put numbers on it, my best score on bubble pop is like 80%. I have almost 250000 arrows played on this pad without any visible wear or maintenance required so I'm pretty happy. I guess time will tell if it starts to break down later but so far so good.

>>22065752
>>22065777
ah
I was wondering how difficult my local arcade upgrading to gold cabinets would be like
If they were leased then I figured it would be much easier

I guess that's not really a thing

How do you respond to people trying to fuck with you while playing DDR by jumping on the opposite pad like an idiot, or running in front of the screen?

>>22067261
Ichika a cute
ミッドナイトWAR is the best song of this event

>>22070010
I haven't really had that happen but I don't play in real arcades very often. Sometimes little kids jump on the pad next to me. Either way I just laugh it off and try not to kick anyone accidentally.

>>22070010
Drunk person -> report to an employee that someone has drank past their limit and needs to be dealt with.
Little kid (toddler) -> tell their parents it's not okay
Older kid/teen -> tell them that it wasn't cool of them

>>22070010
Kill them, obviously

>>22070722

>>22050370
It was my first rhythm game that wasn't DDR or Guitar Hero when I was a kid. I can't believe I thought it was hard back when I first started, the entire game is easy mode.

>>22070639
No, not by a long shot.

>>22070010
Don't live in a shithole full of niggers

>>22036282
Sorry I dont want shitty FX ruining my bangers thank you

>>22045246
Stolen stepmania code (fag devs never gave credit and also fucked up the timing)

>>22046179
Waste of time and talent for generic Vtuber #573 who's not even that hot, litteral japanese version of "How's it goin fellow kids" as Konami tries to win back fans who left for reasons that no need repeating.

>>22063208
Steal from Round 1, american arcade op's don't give a shit about weeb games

>>22073171
Stepmania is open source though? And they do give credit

>>22073171
The timing windows for each judgement are exactly the same though, it just gives you more or less points hased on how accurately you hit each judgement. Also, they're pretty damn clear about the fact that it's based on SM

I'll kiss your feet if you post this.

>>22068340
Not really. Does it happen on WASAPI or ASIO mode? Check your sound drivers maybe.

I racially identify as a Japanese. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of eating sushi while watching my

favourite anime. People say to me that a white being a Japanese is impossible and I'm fucking

retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon perform Japanese facial

reconstruction and skin colorization. From now on I want you guys to call me a Japanese and respect

my right to immigrate to Japan. If you can't accept me you're a transphobe and need to check your

cisrace privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

>>22071503
The only arcade near me (50 minute drive) that has DDR is in a shithole filled with niggers though

what is this #iidx-dev everyone keeps talking about pls help

>>22077911
Nobody is talking about it anymore

>>22077911
It's where we hand out Rootage, and you're not invited.

>>22078044
i dont really care much about rootage i just really like reverse engineering

>>22078061
You could probably just ask them about it if that's the case.

>>22078138
ask who, out of curiosity
i have some experience with konami stuff
