man, OG Beatmania is a fucked up game
it kind of feels like some kind of location test release rather than a full arcade game

reading jacks at 1x speed is horrific, what the fuck do I do there for LOVE SO GROOVY other than lose a bunch of gauge, I outright just eat shit on expert mode because of those two parts
20,november is fun but feels like a punch to the gut considering how much simpler every other song in the game is (also, 1x speed because hispeed doesn't exist yet) and I know for a fact that I'm only able to beat it because I've heard the song like hundreds of times at this point

also, there are only 7 actual songs (so like, DP has some different songs but let's ignore that) -- this isn't that awful for the era (still remembering the era when racing games would have two or three tracks and if you were lucky, you could drive them in reverse) but it's still funny by modern standards

honestly, everything about it makes a lot more sense with them doing two mixes a year at the time (so they can iterate on what worked vs what didn't), and it's quite literally the very first VSRG ever, but it's still kind of fucked up anyway, lul

still feels baffling to think of the fact that hispeed took until 5th mix to exist though

[Anonymous No.]

>>46498628
It's basically DDR/ITG with the addition of the center panel and long mines in terms of gameplay. For music the licenses are mainly older DDR licenses(Rhythm and Police, So Deep, EternuS), PiU/ReRave crossovers and older ITG licenses (Queen of Light, Charlene) with the addition of some more modern western picks (7th Element etc.), many ITG originals such as Utopia and Summer (speedy mix) are also present since they were composed Kyle Ward.
Check out the songlist.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46498628
Yeah. Look at what >>46501418 says about the song list, but I'll also add that imo the general experience beats the shit out of DDR and PIU. Interface is very intuitive and in terms of the mechanical design, SMX has always had flush pads so you won't have a situation like with PIU where you're switching between older cabs with bracketed panels and bracketless panels if you're in a lot of different locations.

Makes me really want a western hand rhythm game to come around and actually be a viable business so they can eventually expand into Japan and put pressure on Konami to stop being shit.

Because it appeals to exactly nobody in either the existing rhythm gaming community, mobile rhythm gaming community or to new players.

This game feels like it was orderered by some middle-management Konami executive who was told of ProSeka's popularity and subsequently ordered this game, thinking that the gacha was the key to its popularity.

Too bad the Bemani staff will take the hit for this failure rather than the executive.

when they explicitly said it's meant to appeal to Gen Z, it's already doomed to fail. the game itself is too easy to with the hardest charts being barely harder than the SDVX 15's. the only way they can salvage it is to give it an edgy reboot and include harder charts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46498628
No, unless you're a beginner or casual Something about the new gen 5 pads are off. Every deluxe cab I've played on has felt worse compared to gen 4s and the compact cabs. Dual is the worst gamemode in a dance game. SMX wanted to replicate half-doubles from PIU but the panel placement lacks the complexity that makes half-doubles fun. The game is very lacking in upper difficulty charts. There are only about 30 charts above a 23. Some of these charts are severely undercharted on Full for some reason.

SMX is worse than ITG, DDR, and PIU, but if its the only thing around its serviceable.

>Every deluxe cab I've played on has felt worse compared to gen 4s and the compact cabs.
The new SMX cab's pad at my R1 is annoyingly unsensitive, you need way too much force to activate it. I've dropped a few holds despite being firmly on a panel -- you can adjust how you step and lean into it, but the feeling that something is up remains.
All the DDR players I see there pretty much never get on SMX unless they don't feel like waiting for the DDR cab to open up. I never feel like waiting on DDR, so I ended up playing a lot more SMX.

I do like how the bar feels like it's not made for fucking short nips, and the overall experience of getting in and playing SMX feels better than DDR by miles.
It's quite impressive how all of the current BEMANI games have an absolutely atrocious experience for anyone showing up without an e-amuse card, and even with one, the whole login process is just slow and there's a bunch of menuing before you get to playing. Got a few free credits from people just giving up during menuing, lmao (I try to show people what to do if I see 'em, but usually they just bounce and I arrive to the game timer counting down).

DDR does just have harder charts across the board from what I've played. I'm willing to bet that SMX is easier on purpose, since it's catering to a more casual western audience.

>I do like how the bar feels like it's not made for fucking short nips, and the overall experience of getting in and playing SMX feels better than DDR by miles.
Agreed. SMX is much more simpler to get into, has less menuing, and some nice QoL features. That's why I say SMX is fine if its the only dance game you have around. I think the pads need to be maintained much better than DDR pads because of the arrow placement. Sticking pads can destroy your middle arrow runs on upper level charts and the scoring in SMX is extremely stupid. A single great will make your score unsalvageable unless you were on APC track due to the 7 microwindows inside the perfect window. The game also lacks an EX score which is a downside.

In fact, the game lacks certain QoL features that other dance games have. The game does not have any pacemaker which is pretty annoying. On top of this, there is no way to see what your previous score was on a song while in game unless you have the high score. You have to open the app, but you can only sort by title, score, or difficulty. Not even the game's unofficial scoretracker "statmaniax" helps with this. The game also has a really poor rival and follow system. There is no way to sort scores when comparing against your rival in the app. Luckily this is something that the statmaniax website can fix. Following players on the app doesn't seem to do anything, at least as far as I can tell. I could rant more about the songs and the charting but I don't want to make this too long.

Basically, some QoL features are better than other dance games, but the game makes receiving feedback on upscoring very painful, which is the primary thing you do in a rhythm game. I beat every Wild chart, started grinding APCs and quickly realized how bad tracking your progress is. The game is great at introducing people to dance games, but the charting becomes questionable at higher levels. It is getting better slowly. I'd personally recommend any other dance game right now after beating a 23.

>>46533318
It's for casuals. Arcade owners who get SMX are usually completely ignorant on the normal 3 plays per credit. Most people fail out and walk away after one song. Fortunately you can change the songs per credit in the administrator menu. I just asked a mech to check the pad sensitivity and changed it myself lol

[Anonymous No.]

>>46533318
The game essentially trojan horse'd its way into the Raw Thrills circle of garbage arcade games. I don't think the game is bad at all, but being in that circle means that you are going to get arcade operators charging way too much for a single song (and songs are shorter than modern DDR/PIU songs). Doesn't help that you can't know how many songs are in a single credit until you play a credit, so any play at an arcade that isn't catering to hardcore players is a gamble.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46533318
Depends where you are. Some areas primarily have SMX in free play arcades/barcodes. Even if it is set up weird it doesn't even matter at that point, and if someone leaves in the middle of a set you can exit out of it.

uhh welcome to rhythm gaming??? just buy the controller wtf

also with 5key if you're too cheap to buy a real controller, map your buttons to be similar to DJMAX, and just use a shoulder button for scratches. It's actually quite easy to play that way. This only works with 5key though; fuck trying to play iidx like that.

The input lag on PS1/2 emulation is awful for rhythm games regardless of what game you play.
Consider emulating the AC versions through MAME instead or buy a PS2 (they're dirt cheap) if you have a DAO controller with PS2 support (Don't bother if you have one that requires the adapter).

it's really just that I have a controller already and it's pissing me off to need another one lol

I tried 7-key IIDX on pad once on my PS2, it was AWFUL, lmao. I actually ended up setting it to 5-key mode plenty quick, but a lot of the fun in Beatmania is working the controls, and it's just kind of eh on pad.

honestly, at this rate, I'm just going to end up looking up BMS conversions for 5-key BM

>>46575743
the DJ-Main board games (original BM, older Pop'n) have okayish latency in MAME but it's not great, I can do easier stuff in it without too many problems and it'd be basically perfect if I could nudge the window just a little bit
the Firebeat board games are slightly worse with latency, but still fairly playable (so, later Pop'n, BMIII)
IIDX is nigh unplayable in MAME lmao -- it runs well enough, but holy shit the latency is awful; very glad I downloaded BMS versions of a bunch of stuff lol

The trick to learning IIDX playstyles is aside from using your thumsb and pinkies, just let your playstyle evolve naturally. If wristing is what is comfortable to you, do it; but don't be one of those faggots who is trying to craft their playstyle while playing level 5's. The game is in tutorial mode until level 10's where 98% of the content is.

Okay, ended up with scratch=left/L1, 1=up, 2=right, 3=square, 4=triangle, 5=O, which mostly feels pretty good for 5key stuff. It assumes the turntable is on the left but whatever, fuck it, could put turntable on X if I need to.

I'm playing BM6th+Core, IIDX 3rd, and IIDX 12 in 5key right now.
Is it just me or is IIDX 12 way more lenient with judgment timing than the rest of these? I get a LOT more flashing greats in it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46650174

It's not more lenient, it's just a better engine with better sync. IIDX has a 16ms timing window(if I remember correctly) that skews early, any latency issues from the environment the game runs in (old PSX beatmania games) or a problem with your setup makes the timing required for pgreats really hard to lock in on because it gets removed from the rhythm really quick.

Latency isn't actually that important in rhythm games when you properly calibrate anything because human reaction time is too slow to meaningfully adjust in real time. 10 notes/second means you'd have to be able to correct in ~100ms even if there was 0 latency, when 200ms is a "fast" reaction visually.

People who disagree with this can't figure out why they chain bad judgements even though its obvious once you understand.

Audio latency is tremendously important for keysounded games.

You're right that visual latency isn't "that important" since it can be more or less mitigated, but there's no excuse for things being as terrible as they are for no reason. Sure, a skilled player will know they've hit an extra note before the game even provides feedback, but for mortals, the latency can make a difference between BAD chaining for N notes and N+1 notes.

>>46661714
video latency isn't that important (if it's really bad, it can still fuck you up), although there's one massive thing in play: you aren't reacting to a single event that suddenly appears and goes away like in a typical reaction test, notes are generally on screen for longer than 200ms before they hit the judgment area, so you're preemptively responding to when the note hits the line, along with using sound cues
but like, I know I'm sure as fuck not looking right at the line and mainly relying on audio for when to hit in say, IIDX

audio latency is hilariously important though in any game with keysounds since they will throw you off of the rhythm if they're late, and there's no real way for the game to adjust for that unless the game does shit like pre-play the start of the sound automatically, cutting it off if there's no input once the calibrated delay period passes

>>46661735
apart from occasional crashes (a bunch were definitely my fault, I know I need to go reinstall SDVX on my machine at some point because some update got applied wrong and it locks up once in a while when loading songs), data is generally a fairly pleasant experience once set up

Why does my Resident data randomly freeze every once in a while? Does this happen to anyone else? The game logic and audio still runs, but the screen is frozen. It's not a massive deal since it happens so rarely, but it can be annoying if it happens during a potential upscore run.

Aside from that I actually really like the middle panel charting and SMX having m-mod.

At least at my R1, the pad is hilariously stiff compared to DDR (this is after multiple rounds of operator tweaking). It is just physically harder to play as a result for shitty reasons. Allegedly, this is a problem with the current set of SMX pads and not just them being badly calibrated?
I also suspect the song list is less interesting -- there's a lot of stuff that sounds like old DDR (and a few songs that are outright just old DDR licenses lel), but there's a LOT of trash too, and there are just a bunch of genres that are missing that DDR has.

Also, maybe some of them don't like the middle panel, and I know the fucking dumb OG DDR patent still being around when SMX came out made the hit area a bit stupid (I absolutely want to refuse to believe that if it ever went to court that Konami would win there, but like, it'd need to be fought and that was out of the question).

Then, instead having even the slightest tact and putting himself out there with something like "Let's look at this together to see how we can best make this right" and giving himself the opportunity to narrow it down to operator maintenance issues like he desperately wants to deflect every issue to be, he throws tantrums like "It's not our fault and if you even IMPLY it MIGHT be our fault then I'll go on a twatter rant about DEFAMATION.

>lv2 songs
When you're that early on, you genuinely just need to play over several days so you can develop muscle memory of where everything is. The duration of each session doesn't matter nearly as much as just getting to play for a bit each day because of how brains work. Spacing plays out in a day is probably better than long sessions too at this point, but you don't need to go too crazy there.

>GAMBOL
Older "beginner level" charts from before 10th style or so are still fairly complex, pretend they're 1 or 2 higher than they're rated until you're very comfortable with where everything is positioned.
They probably should all get re-rated, but I think like all of IIDX probably should be at this point; they need to stretch the scale out to 15 and unfuck everything, and they won't lul.

>Also, for 1048, is there an ideal way to scratch?
1048 gives you easy access to pinky scratching if your hands aren't tiny, and lays you out for a wrist scratch if you really need it (at this level, you don't need it). If your hands are huge, you can god-pinky and just bend it out to scratch while keeping your fingers firm on 1/2/3, otherwise, you'll need to shift your hand a bit to deal with scratches.

Play enough and your hands will even out. It's just a matter of hours and hours of practice. You must power though it. The slightly different feel will stay though, but you get used to it.

Is the Safari SPH 10 for skilled players as difficult as SPB 2 is for beginners?

I call bs. Playing arcade drum, especially fast, without any prior drumming experience is by no means the same as playing on a keyboard. Yes you can read the notes, but this is about it.

Thanks for the advice. managed to clear an SPB 3 and an SPN 2 today as well, which is alright until I can play IIDX next time in hopefully 5 months.

Others may disagree, but I still think proseka is fun. Basically just chunithm-lite on mobile. Only bad thing is the scoring system, but you can just play for FCs/APs.

Some other things:
You might end up needing to switch to thumb doing both 1 and 3 with your index on 2 for more scratch heavy bits vs just remaining in 1048 position.
Luckily, this is literally just a minor wrist turn away, so it's easy to swap back and forth.

IIDX is a game where you'll end up needing to move your hand a bunch no matter what. No one high-level is 1048 all the time, even if it is generally their main style.
Eventually, you'll figure out things/be better prepared to learn other things once you have the muscle memory for the button positions gained just from playing -- I can swap to 1048 with minor difficulty despite my main style being old-DOLCE style where ring/index/thumb=1/2/3.
It's easier to pinky-scratch with this vs 1048, while 1048 makes wrist scratching trivial.

Buy/build a controller if you want to get into IIDX despite not having regular access to cab. Regular play is a must to learn it.
Naturally, if you get serious about IIDX and aren't broke, get the Phoenixwan. Replace the default switches from the far too light 15g one; 50g is arcade standard.
Replacing them yourself is super easy if you forget to change it, decide to change it later, or they just wear out (they're also like $3 each if you do need to replace them). The FPS is also a good (cheaper) controller, with caveats (smaller turntable, slightly different spacing).

An even cheaper option might be importing the PS2 games+PS2 controller with a proxy (or shit, importing a used FPS from Japan).
The yen is fucking terrible right now. Everything is like 2/3rds the price it should be for a foreign buyer, so you might save a bunch despite shipping costs.

If you're absolutely dead broke, 9 arcade buttons in a shoebox with a Pi Pico using some generic keyboard/joystick firmware will do for now (GP2040CE, QMK, etc, etc) -- turntable up/down vertically next to each other, then 1-7.
The holes for 1/3/5/7 and 2/4/6 are like 12mm apart with 30mm buttons and the distance between the two rows is like 25mm, pic related.
The axis-aligned horizontal spacing from 1 to the turntable buttons is like 113mm or so and they should be lined up around the height where 2 is.
Total cost: like, $40 if you make bad finanical decisions/buy Sanwa OBSF buttons, and it could probably be done for $20 with cheapo Amazon EG STARTS buttons.
I did this when I was juuuust starting out; it really doesn't matter at your level that much that scratching using this is super inaccurate, but it will become something to worry about after you hit like 6/7s.

was talking about how there isn't a target area with a fixed line or arrow icons -- this was under patent and it's hyper gay
the patents are expired now, but weren't when SMX first released (and it's bullshit that they were even ever accepted lol)

all of them, just don't engage with tiering or gacha and enjoy playing the game (or buy a starter account from chinks for a few bucks)
