>>37460781
when iidx 30 comes out

sorry im new. whats the point in me downloading these? can I play sdvx using my eamuse for free at home and the scores are saved to my account?

>>37458901
can i get more images like this

anyone know where i can get sanwa buttons without microswitches on them? I also have a weird dead spot on my turntable. Is there a way to check/fix this?

>faucetwo made it in the country
fucking finally holy shit

>>37461715
having data is like having your own separate home game with it's own saves. you don't use your real eamuse. the point is that it's free

check out my casthour poster

Fuck this is a bitch to do one handed

Tried introducing my friends to DDR today at Round1 but the machine we chose had shitty pads that required us to slam our feet down to get our steps to register. I knew something was up when I saw no one using it but everyone was using the other 2. Anyways, my friends think I'm a furry because I like 'Cute Chaser' and they aren't wrong, but they don't realize I actually am and would rather not tell them. I just chose that because it's nice and easy for beginners like them and I like it a lot. Anyways, thank you for coming to my blog, unsubscibe [here] NOT!!

>>37466601
sure buddy, the only beginner song is cutie chaser.
your secret is safe with us ;)

>>37466601
There’s nothing wrong with being a furry. Just ask the sdvx community.

>>37458901
i can't get exceed gear to work
it says soundvoltex.dll is missing when i launch startgame.bat

>>37469986
alright nevermind i got it working i just had to literally do what it says and install some vc redistributables

but now when i play my lasers are all fucked up and i can't calibrate them

>>37473323
What do you mean by fucked up? What kind of gpu are you using?

>>37464228
happy for you...

reposting because I can

>>37474078
i was able to fix it. i just failed to map my VOL-R and VOL-L in the analogue tab of spicetools config.
Next on the list is fixing the 100% CPU usage i'm suffering from even after i close the program down, and I'd like a way to play the game in landscape mode, or to change the orientation of portrait mode the other way around

I like how RA is remembered fondly here because of all these western commisions yet it seems japanese players didn't give a fuck, that might explain the huge change in music direction in Lincle despite L.E.D being SD of both styles.

From DJT to pendual the series was thriving and having well above 80000 players, then copula came and it was so bad it managed to reduce that amount to gold levels, even sinobuz wasn't enough to recover from that failure leaving the series playerbase at an historic low.

Then BST happens, arcades start to die and the series becomes a walking corpse, HV did surprisingly well considering the pandemic, probably because of lightning cabs, now that the new cab hype is over the series is in an even more laughable state, you can even see little details in bistrover and casthour like the ridiculous amount of IIDX original songs with generic BGAs, let alone bistrover how every fucking crossover or bemani summer event song also has a generic.

According to https://otosuki.blogspot.com/2021/10/iidxbistrover.html?m=1 the number of arcades is decreasing so there's no hope, IIDX probably isn't dying any time soon due to the hardcore fanbase putting thousands of credits but it's going to become even more soulless until its inevitable death

Once I realized that high-level fighting games are like a rhythm game for two, I couldn't go back to the regular stuff, sorry anons but I found a new autism.

>>37476129
if you want real autism play puzzle games

>>37476129
I’d be surprised if most people itt weren’t into fighting games at some point. Rhythm games are part of the whole competitive arcade-o-sphere that includes fighters, stgs, puzzle games and whatnot.

>>37476512
I like all of those

>>37476900
Me too man, me too.

>tfw nip arcades will die before you get to visit japan
Feels bad man. I had a ticket booked for mid-2020 and everything

>>37477410

If it makes you feel better they were dead already. It's mostly prize machines and pachislots now.

>2020

Are you a time-traveler?

>>37477568
they probably mean they had it booked/bought a cheap flight before the main lockdown happened

>>37477604
Yeah thats it

>>37477604

Makes sense. Sorry.

But yeah, arcades in Japan are mostly prize machines now. And pachislots parlors but I don't think those count

>Slapping hamburgers will die in your lifetime

>>37458901

You're going to die in my lifetime

Has anyone who ordered a Phoenixwan recently get an update on when they would be shipping it? Contacted their support but got no response

>Contacted their support but got no response
How long ago was it sent? They're usually pretty good on email responses in a few days

I know anmitsu is where you hit two (or more) notes with different timings at the same time, and reverse anmitsu is the opposite, where you hit two (or more) notes with the same timing at different times. What do you call the situation where you hit two notes opposite of their actual timings?

I got to 5th dan in iidx playing 2p then stopped playing for a while to play sdvx. After getting to 17s, I realize that my right hand is better than my left, and coming back to iidx I feel like 1p side might be better.

Gonna try it out next time I play but im curious if anyone else on here has switched sides after playing a while and how the adjustment is.

>>37458901
Is osu! a rhythm game?

>>37498563
Yes, but not a very good one.
Games with 100% user created content can be a hot mess.

Can rhythm games get you laid?

>>37499501
depends on your standards

with a female? probably not

>>37499501
>>37499522
ddr will get u laid at anime conventions

>>37500909
Rhythm games won't get you pussy in anime conventions. Especially IIDX.

>>37503884
I can tell you from personal experience that you are very wrong lol. The issue isn't the games, it's that most rhythm gamers are turbovirgins with zero social skills. If you're a chad and can talk to the cosplay chick staring at you play without reee'ing the entire time, you'll instantly have her hopping on your dick. Knowing what rhythm games are and being good at them makes you stand out. Just gotta look good and not talk like a retard and you're set.

>>37505664
lol

>>37505727
enjoy your virginity buddy

>>37460985
>>37480213
this angers the manlet

>>37505664
I remember the one time I went to anime north I tried chatting up random people in the rhythm game room and barely anyone would say anything beyond a few words. It was jarring compared to the fighting game area where everyone was open to talking about shit.

>>37506487
Yeah the trick isn't to flirt with other rhythm gamers, but rather to attract non rhythm gamers

>>37505845
>1282x722
Lol why do people still use these shitty old tools that don't crop properly.

I got a cosplaying gf that i met for the first time playing IIDX at an anime convention and she was singing/dancing to the song

I gave her the biggest hug and stole her from her boyfriend

Never give up

>>37505845
You read my mind lol

i hope you know that everyone who read your response towards the end of that thread thinks you're completely insane. nobody likes apologists

>>37509775
you're already anonymous, the fuck are you vagueposting about

>>37509804
I'm schizo and think I'm being stalked and am purposely vagueposting

it's all so tiring..

I keep hearing about some twitter drama someone post links

>>37510225
the twitter ddr furry faggot community is mad for a IIDX player being negative and they're all boasting about how they exclude IIDX players from their twitter circles because all IIDX players are intrinsically bad people and use Wrong Words

>>37510332
like this is really the level of discourse twitter music games is at. petty insignificant bullshit. totally not worth even looking through. its all so tiring..

>>37510332
>Look how ELITIST IIDX is
They know progression is getting easier and easier and the beginner folder is a good starting spot unlike other Bemani games, right?

Any idea as to why Pop'n Music 26 is currently not connecting to a network? I'm not sure if this is just a problem for me or if it's down for anyone else.

>>37510332
LMFAO

>>37510344

>>37511615

>>37511667
it's like 50/50. lots of bio cis female ddr players too

why did my groove chart in IIDX stop updating? I have Omni, Fervidex, and GAS, if those affect it for some reason

>>37510929
Which network are you even trying to connect to? You should really just ask in their discord.

>>37511168
I play a lot of DDR. I don't talk to many people at the arcade because I just want to have a good time and not get caught up in community drama.
It's nice to just kinda vibe and not have to pretend to be nice to someone you're not interested in talking to.

>>37511168

>>37522241
lol

>>37522594
like 2 dozen ddr tards were throwing in their 2 cents. it was awful. they have limited brain cells.

why are dance gamers such pieces of shit

>>37522902
Score posting is a very self aggrandizing thing. Add Twitter into that and you get a bunch of people who think they're more important than they are. I've actually had people introduce themselves to me by saying "you probably know who I am."

>>37524139
sounds like something evild* would do lol

anyone who associates themselves with twitter people like massive self-sucker dalton are people i just assume have no actual personalities besides vapid shallow workplace positivity

>>37526010
basically. dalton is batshit crazy along with everyone who is on his wave length. they are all so far left that they end up being a parody of themselves. it's amazing how they are completely unaware of their delusional view of the world.

itt velius and nythil
you two are literally the only people who care about chris's setup. go outside, touch grass, etc etc
you guys dont even play ddr why do you even care so much? do you like the attention from mgh retards?

>>37526103
lmao bruh you're the one who needs to touch grass if you're so worked up about it. do you really think people who play n1 data give a shit? they're obviously trolling and clearly it's working on people like you.

>>37518421
nope I just have the capacity to respect people who r different than me :-)

besides that post really wasn't about DDR or rhythm games anyway they just wanted to bitch about pronouns whereever they post lol. happens a lot here don't you think?

imagine having a lightning cab in ur garage connected to eAmuse
its the jealousy

How dare you imply that time (money) and accessibility (money) are important for getting good at music games! By the way we spent tens of thousands of dollars on bribing some jungle asian arcade into letting us bum e-amusement via a mango router. We really need to gather attention by uploading videos and photos of our scores to public spaces, but if you ask questions or call us out on constantly lying about it, you must just be a jealous and toxic BMS player.

>>37527388
Imagine having about $25,000 of disposable income.

the accessibility issue is purely konami's fault

this is all retarded

>>37527388
I'd be jealous if cabs were usable to anyone who isnt a manlet

>>37527026
very observant of you anon wow ur smart
>>37527541
woah the 1 ddr player who has a high international profile doesn't want to publicly admit that they are playing via illegal means. sound the alarms!!!!! what a scumbag!!!!!!!!!!

>illegal means
if he bought a cab and is paying for eamusement, how is it illegal

>>37528021
good point! now everyone stfu

>>37527799
word, +1, and based

>>37527799
Agreed. Everyone should be able to do what they're doing. I wonder why they're hiding it instead of helping the rest of us do the same.

>>37528021
>>37528048
If it's legitimate, why not just come forward and say so instead of adding fake arcade background sounds to the videos? :)

>>37528183
Umm sweaty, Mike Calfin and Game Saru are authorised dealers of the Konami and Sega. It legitiment so stop yer yacking

>>37528420
You can't legal me.

>>37527987

>>37529431

>>37476090
I mean, it's kind of well known, if tragic, that the average jap has shit taste in music. In what other country would wanky garbage like Yngwie Malmsteen's Fire and Ice literally top the normie Billboard (Oricon) charts? And that's not even getting into their EDM taste.

>>37524139
LMFAO

I give up guys, my hands are too small and is kinda hurting trying to do the scratch and 7 keys so I will look for another rhythm game to learn, I'm looking at SDVX and Chunithm next, which one is the easiest to get into?

>>37458901
Just Started SDVX 6 EG today. But one fucking problem that when I start the game, audio get fucked and the game never loaded. This is the log here, any clues?

>>37531140
probably sdvx unless you have an arcade close by with chunithm

>>37530845
whenever you do this copy paste thing I can't tell if you're mocking or just being funny

>>37527541
Didn't a Jubeat KAC player admit to using data to practice with and everyone was okay with it?

play SDVX

>>37536011
No idea what you're talking about or what your stance on the post is, i'm just lmao-ing that twitteratis actually pull the "you probably know who I am" card

>>37531140
I refuse to believe your hands are "too small" to play IIDX. Dolce's got pretty small hands and he's like the OG king of scoring. Give it some time and you'll eventually get the hang of it. That said, SDVX and Chunithm are probably comfier overall, just make sure not to hurt or scrape your hands by missing knobs on SDVX

>>37540309
if youre a male and can't reach 1048 pinky just transition and play project diva

>>37540262
eh, I'm the fag for assuming things. someone keeps copying posts in these threads

>>37540309
>I refuse to believe your hands are "too small" to play IIDX
They are probably average but leaning to the small side. I've been trying a few styles but my hands end up hurting and I'm worried that if I continue practicing I may hurt them for real, I'm also on my late 20s so bones are most likely not going to get better.
I'm probably just too stupid to learn proper hand technique and if I could replace my hands like a pair of shoes I'd probably continue, but for now I'll just stop before I fuck up for real.

>>37534430
Thanks, I decided to start with chunithm as the gameplay seems more friendly to the hands.

>>37526103
this is an anonymous board. many more people care about that, just not enough to want to attach their names to it and have ddr twitter autists talk about them behind their backs

I've come to the point where I even hate my own name

Every time I see a song title or something I like, I was so entranced by it until I realize it has my own name in it. So I proceed to delete the song then not listening to it anymore.

https://youtu.be/T75p13u4Mog [Open]

>>37476512
I have little to no interest in fightans, though.
Individually figuring out and practicing each character for hours on end and always needing another person just to properly play an action game in a small 2D space doesn't have much in common with a singleplayer, intuitive, music-synced game that generally expects you to just grind it into your muscle memory. In my opinion.

>>37538937
im colorblind that game is unreadable past 15s for me

Uhhh, konmai???

How common is it to play only bms with iidx con from the start? From what I've gathered people usually get into bms once they can play satellite.

>>37545858
Fair enough.
I know I just cannot comprehend Taiko for whatever reason. I'm not even colorblind.

>>37545858
Maybe KSM or USC have some options for that.

How do you get this

>>37547448
You have to buy the volume 15 song pack during the time period listed.
You can't actually get the card unless you live in Japan. Although if you have a friend with a Japanese address there's probably a way to go through them.

>>37548045
Wait, you just have to buy the pack to get it? Fuck, I gotta find someone in japan

>>37548089
If you can't get one you can always hope that someone ends up scanning it.
There are companies that will print single custom IC card stickers.

sup guys, here to remind you that dance games are SERIOUS BUSINESS

the reality is that dance games are dead forever so the community has to make up shit to talk about

>>37570251
To be fair it's players are mega autistic foot wigglers and that's enough to turn any normal person off

>>37570668
on the real, I don't know what point that fool was trying to make. itg has always been a game for more experienced players, which should be common sense. this would be like trying to discuss "why doesn't bms attract newcomers?"

these people just make me cringe so hard. like imagine being so obsessed with a literally dead game that you feel the need to constantly bring it up every single day, even when there's nothing interesting at all to talk about that hasn't already been brought up a billion times. like yeah I'm being too butthurt about this so I'll fuck off but oh my god people get a fucking life and find some new hobbies. who the fuck tweets shit like this in 2021???

I love it when ITG retards try to tell me that their charts are so much better than DDR charts. Like, bro, there is literally nothing interesting about stamina autism or tech spam. Fuck off.

>>37570908
There's the smallest shred of truth to their statement in that full difficulty packs are somewhat more common now then they were a decade ago.
But itg is still mostly srs bsns.

this

>>37574825
ITG players charting endless streams with no crossovers, turns or jumps

>>37542742
Yea they're really quite different aside from both being traditionally arcade-based genres with noticeably more ethnic diversity than traditional esports ala league, overwatch or even fortnite. Fighting games are more akin to playing speed chess, and rhythm games with playing drums (and in fact drummania is very much a thing)

>>37574044
You're on /jp/
We have doll threads here too. Fuck, there are even kig threads.

>>37575481
Rhythm games are a fairly static thing. You can play on random but the notes are still in the same place, even if it's a different button now.
Fighting games have meticulous execution, stupid amounts of frame data and move priority, and then the psychology of actually playing and interacting with another human being that's influencing what you're able to do.

It's a very apples and oranges thing. But both things can appeal to some people at the same time.

the one thing I miss about the peak ITG era of the 00s was playing ridiculous customs on hacked cabs in public malls and movie theaters. it'd be anything from mainstream rap to Mungyodance furry stuff

>>37575988

>"Ohkaaaaay but I know I'm gonna suck at it~"

>>37577831
Acquire skill instead.

>>37578983
Sorry I don't like hitting notes 50ms before they hit the red line.

>>37578983
You should really give auto adjust a try. I was a 0 offset believer at one point too. Everyone reads/hits at different times, people have different auto settings. Like I settled around -1.5 but I saw other people playing with positive offsets.

>>37579405
don't tell me to acquire skill and then bitch about how offsets are necessary. I can figure it out at home but it's still a really nice feature, I'm curious where it'll put me.

>>37579154
For IIDX 60fps I lower the towel a lot. It's still pretty awful though. 120 needs to become the global standard, at least. I hope I live long enough to see 300+fps commonplace. Can you believe {they} really convinced everyone that 60 fps is the natural eye speed? It's so fucking obvious. I think I stop noticing around 200.

>>37579154
60 FPS on a CRT has better motion clarity than 144 FPS on an LCD.

>>37579733
Offsets are necessary. Offsets that are changing constantly while playing are not. It's a fun toy to play with, but nobody "needs" it. It's not useful to good players, and it's actively detrimental to bad players who are likely to let it push their offsets super positive since novices always rush.

>>37580012
>Offsets are necessary.
Only because at this point there's such a variety in what the games are being played on.
But it's very much possible to just compensate yourself.

>>37578983

>>37579733
Offsets are necessary on mobile rhythm games on Android, at least. With that said, in my experience all that offsets do in most rhythm games is to shift the notes with respect to the sound, but not with respect to the judgement line. The latter is typically what I'm looking for and few rhythm games have it.

>>37583060
finally figured that one out, eh anon?

>>37583060
Context? He's pretty okay from what I've observed. All I notice is trolling

Managed to reach skill level 10

>>37580012
you can turn it on and off on the fly, even adjust it mid song. It's worth turning on for stuff you know you can time well, and then just.. playing the song how it feels good to you. then you dont play with auto adjust on anymore. Saves so much time over figuring it out yourself.

>>37591227
>Saves so much time over figuring it out yourself.
You're playing for free with unlimited retries. You can afford to spend 5 minutes finding an offset.

After playing on two SDVX cabs with worn knobs, I take back everything I said about copals sucking.

>>37597664
If you're playing some extreme soflan stuff, maybe.
It would probably be more useful in games like DDR that don't have floating hi-speed.

leak casthour now, thanks

>>37593298
The thing is ... who actually cares?
Are you upset that someone is exponentially more obsessed with the game than you are?
He steps on the arrows good. Woo.

It's real easy to just enjoy the games and not care about toprankers.
Have fun. If it's not fun for you anymore then go find something else that is fun.

>>37598214
yeah copals aren't the best but they're way better than any public cab you'll ever play on
>>37597664

>>37598956
people who care about a fair playing field on the boards? maybe all you care about is doing butterfly spins like the fucking casual you are, but some people actually enjoy competition.

>>37600947
there's nothing unfair about it. if someone has the money and resources to have their own home setup, then they are free to do so. buy you your own cab and you can do the same thing. can't afford one? get a better job. can't or don't feel like it? deal with it and stop being a fucking crybaby. you and the 1 or 2 other people who won't shut the fuck up about it are perfect examples of why this community sucks

Reminder that iamchris4life was the DDR World Champion BEFORE he got a private cab. Git gud, faggots.

>>37603950
and hes always had access to private machines
seriously, just get any kind of setup for home playing and you will improve massively by playing daily

fuck arcade games

>>37603151
>buy you your own cab and you can do the same thing.
That's the problem. You can't.

I have bought cabs for a local arcade and emailed Konami multiple times over the past several years. They don't allow anyone in the mainland US outside of R1 and D&B to access e-amusement. We would need access to whatever shady situation they have going on that they're actively hiding and pretending doesn't exist.

>>37604868
So what's stopping you? Lol

>guys playing data is okay!
>alternative eamuse woah hold on now!

hey sue fuck off

>>37604868
Just buy an older cab or something and put current data on it. Literally the exact same thing unless you're dumb enough to complain that you aren't able to give konami money.

>>37600947
>like the fucking casual you are, but some people actually enjoy competition.
This matters to a few dozen people. You're probably not even one of them.
Chris is on some entirely different plane of competitive and perfectionist autism.

Meanwhile I'm gonna be having fun and not whining about someone who is willing to put thousands of hours into a game for little actual material payoff.
Being world's best DDR player is like being the world's best competitive lumberjack. No one really cares.

>>37605300
Playing data is ok, since piracy is the consequence of poor accessibility.
VPNing e-amusement is ok, since it's something we should all be able to do in the first place.
Constantly publicly flaunting it while gatekeeping and lying about it is annoying.

>So what's stopping you?
Post the contact info of some jungle asian arcade willing to break TOS and send me a router. :)

>>37606850
I'm not a DDR top ranker who knows anybody like that. Chris didn't just find these people out of thin air. I may not have the answer for you, but I'm sure if you snooped around enough you could eventually find someone.

it's amazing how one is capable of both complaining about the current state of things while still finding a modicum of enjoyment out of it. you have the thought process of a a literal child.

>>37608726
What the fuck are you even talking about?
I give zero fucks about the current state of things.
I'm just sitting here laughing at you for caring so much about it. That's where I'm finding the enjoyment.

It's just a fucking game. A game that hasn't even been relevant for about 15 years at this point. There's nothing at stake here.

I can play around 2-3 hours of DDR over the course of a month and enjoy every minute of it. Absolutely never while I'm playing do I feel the need to concern myself with whatever someone else is doing.

>>37608726
It must really suck to let a fucking DDR player of all things just live rent free in your head.
I feel bad for you anon.

Why doesn't every game have the bpm change indicators that exceed gear does? Fuck

Are the new ltek pads worth buying if I already have one of the older models? Are they that much better?

>>37607877
I tried beatoraja with arcade stick too before getting a proper con. Sanwa arcade buttons feel like shit compared to samducksa iidx buttons.

Damn, I fucking love that song
https://youtu.be/oWiSx66M7YU

>>37607877
I played iidx with a qanba obsidian for a while before getting a phoenixwan. The stick does indeed suck as a tt but it’s still a serviceable option and better than a keyboard imo.

WHY IS THIS SONG SO GODDAMN HARD AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I JUST WANT TO HIT 80%

>>37600947
happyf333tz has his own Pump cab that is hooked up to the official servers and literally nobody gives a fuck. What say you to that?

>>37611323
The only significant difference I see just from looking at the specs is that it has a much better polling rate so you don't have to worry about "magic BPMs" when choosing a song. This is something that you could just mod yourself though.

No idea if the hardware itself has been improved at all, but honestly the LTek I have right now holds up just fine.

>>37619177
Anyone with a current PIU kit is allowed to connect to Andamiro's servers without sucking sekrit club cock.

>>37619177
Yeah, him and everyone else. The difference is they don't pretend the different camera angle in the new videos is because "he doesn't want his phone stolen".

>>37591931
keep missing the point you ornery cunt

>>37619177
thats because andamiro wants people to play their game and not have to jump thru 5 million hoops because of muh tradition

>>37621421
Your point applies to using a QoL feature that's only as questionably useful as the player is skilled to save time at the arcade. >>37577831's bitching does not. I would still argue that anyone who plays consistently enough for auto adjust to result in a remotely accurate number is better off adjusting manually. I've watched even AAA level play result in +/- 1.00 swings with auto adjust. Unless you're watching a recording and noting the wide range of values that the offset drifted to throughout your play, whatever number you end a chart with probably isn't going to be very useful.

>>37605318
nooooooooo you can't like bemani music you must listen to noise or else you're a fake music fan

>>37621839

gee lets spot the ornery iidx autist defending something arbitrary
not even going to continue. i know how staunchly obstinate you freaks get.

>>37622536
Next time consider being wrong somewhere else where nobody will correct you.

Gothic System was composed by D J Technewchi in two-thousand three. All ravers was shocked by the song. Time passes in two-thousand five. Gothic System is rebirth. Remixed by kenta v ez, and t pazo lite. Get ready.

>>37622803
It doesn't need "correcting"
it's a fucking option in the game
you can give it a few songs and make minor adjustments from there. you can also just not fucking worry about how other people play your autistic game differently from you. You must be one of those relentless nonran v ran faggots who literally cannot let it go when someone picks the option you didn't. It's obstinate derganed autistic bullshit like this that keeps IIDX from ever having a real community.

>>37623238
We can disagree on the usefulness of a feature, but "i need auto adjust at home" as a statement absolutely deserves correcting. I don't care what options other people use. If sharing an opinion on an anonymous imageboard is causing more damage to the "community" of a single player game than repeatedly proclaiming what mental illnesses must afflict people you disagree with, there was little hope to begin with.

>>37623772
lmao you're definitely an autismo

Question, why do normies always so obssesed with Freedumb Dive? Every time I look up comments in rhythm game musics there's always a retard who goes like "yeah but this isn't as crazy as freedumb dive though!!!" or they'll go "yeah this game is cool but does it have freedumb dive????"

I swear just what the fuck is wrong with their heads?

I never really hear people complain about any sdvx charts. For iidx and ddr sure but never sdvx. Are there any charts that stick out as being bad or anything, or is charting in sdvx overall pretty good?

>>37625288
Basically every INF chart is horrible. The game is intentionally difficult to read in general, and there are so many bad charts that people probably just accept or avoid them instead of talk about them. There aren't as many charting mistakes these days, but you still occasionally encounter a 16th note into double knobs or whatever, even in SDVX V charts.

>>37622511
toxic

>>37625288
sdvx players like to actually have fun instead of whine and be angry all the time so the "bad" charts are just considered meme charts

>>37625288
every chart in sdvx is a bad chart

How much of a fatass midget do you have to be to spend money on meme cookies?

>>37625288
there are plenty of iidx 12s that are objectively terrible, at least without random. They just throw shit together knowing the players will random it anyways. There's also a lot of older charts that are just all over the place, or full of shitty jacks.

>>3760486

Nice reading comprehension there buddy

>>37627662
If by "money talks" you mean "you need to buy hundreds of cabinets at once before they even take you seriously", maybe. But all of my serious inquiries were met with nonsense responses similar to this one. When I called them out saying the e-amusement already exists in various regions outside of Japan (including the US), they just didn't respond. Clearly I have no idea how things work, so please enlighten me.

i just started clearing mid 11s in iidx and i now really wish i had been more serious about iidx sooner because this is legitimately the most fun i've ever had in a rhythm game

Playing these kind of games only makes me riled up more than ever.

if everybody here ordered a cab could we get on the official network?

You have to contact Konmai for that I think and they'll charge you monthly.

Do you think it's worth it to 100% a rhythm game? I only have to do about 30 songs more

>>37633325
you can rev a chainsaw right next to a rhythm gamer's ear and they'll be like "mmm yeah that's some good music i'm freedumb diving!!!"

https://youtu.be/P7fi4hP_y80

>>37633804
I dont think its worth 100% any game for the sake of it. If you have to ask this question, its already showing you're not actually having fun doing it. And in this particular case, much better to use your time on better and harder rhythm games anyways. Much more payoff and more gainz than tedious busywork of getting 100%

>>37637548
I'm waiting for Deemo II to come out in January. I'm just really bored as shit bro so I thought maybe I can 100% this thing in the meanwhile.

The amount of genuine social skill to get on nearly private tracker is well within the threshold of most people with ASD. While it may be beyond the abilities of the kind of people who sit in this thread and obsess over the members of that tracker, that has more to do with being actively antisocial.

The annoying part is getting into most niche trackers without open invites or interviews, which is the majority. Even if you are not on other trackers already, social skill is not required. It is basically sitting around in private communities, maybe having to be active enough for people with invites to get a sense of you, and maybe be useful or engaging with others so that they aren't worries about you being the type to get banned.

This is the kind of bulllshit that serves as a gatekeep for the kind of people who they actually don't want to be on the tracker. Simple as.

I always assume the people I see at the arcade are all on sows, if they are capable of playing mid level charts.

I saw a youtube channel of a young japanese kid playing iidx really well and I forget the channel name, anyone watch him?

>>37640956
>yeah but how do you get in said communities without being in said community
The most obvious way is to use other, more public communities on different platforms until you find enough breadcrumbs over a period of time by interacting with different people with similar interests.
That doesn't require much social sense at all, though I will say it is totally cringe and you may be too based for sows.

>too based for sows
>gauge auto shift
>fervidex
these tools make IIDX a much better experience

other than that though, idk, and they're probably on other trackers too

>>37645139
I should mention the reason I like watching that kid play is because he uses a separate hand for turn table.
Is there any other high level players who play like that?

>>37647479
it's a strategy for scratch charts, and also the entirety of DP revolves around it. There used to be some good 1 hand players but I think the 12s got too dense, or they all just went to DP instead

>>37645139
>>37647479
I assume you're talking about that kid who plays with 2 hands but is pretty freestyle and usually ends up one handing in short bursts every time there's a scratch.

>>37655726
You're right! Camellia's production game is really solid precisely because of how many tunes he pumps out. At the same time, I feel that the "soul" is lacking in a lot of his songs, especially the more recent stuff, for the exact same reason his production is so good. It's interesting
