what's the easiest iidx 10?
It took me so long to find out that the DDR machines in round-1s are fucking fakes....
I've been paying money this whole time to play on a stepmania machine unless I misunderstood. I'm assuming the ddr x2 machines are not real, I guess all the songs being available should have given it away
What rhythm games do you guys have the most fun with?
I personally have the most fun with pop'n and stepmania (pad and keyboard)
I like SDVX but why is this allowed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uyCaMr70dQ&t=1m46s
>>14822346
For me it's Pendual by far. I passed almost every 9 with A on my first try and passed a good quantity of 10s. In most other styles, aside from styles I played too much like Lincle and Tricoro, I can't even beat half of the 9s with A
>>14822346
Elisha, feels like an 8
>>14822346
>>14822422
Misread, I tought you were saying IIDX 10 was the easiest style. Like the other anon said, Elisha is piss easy. The first 10 I passed was drive me crazy but maybe it was easy because I had heard the song a hundred times
>>14822346
elisha, new sensation and that sirius piano song that isn't g59 are all pretty easy
is psun not working for anyone else
>>14822550

>that tuxdude coming of age vip thread
I know you shitpost here. This anonymous is proud of you.
>>14822733
is verflucht really an easy 10? i consider it one of the harder ones
How do I get a psun invite?
>>14823038
it's a subjective thing. but i consider it easy because i havent failed it any time ive tried since i started slowly clearing 10s. i actually had more trouble with elisha.
i have 25 easy 12s cleared and i feel like i can't progress anymore playing only one hour a day
>>14823602
you have to play two hours a day now
I can't connect to psun anymore, is this happening to anyone else?
How am i supposed to play data
i made these for my sows avatar but the moment i finished them i changed my mind so I'll just leave them here if you want them

>>14822346
Fire Fire was the first 10 I cleared.
It's an 8 in density with some scratches here and there.
Bitter Chocolate Striker is pretty good, too.
One step higher than that, there's Thor's Hammer, neu and Xepher.
Took me about 40 tries to get this. Would've taken a lot less had I not been choking on dicks this entire time.
Also to the faggot from the last thread: the timing windows are as accurate as possible, and what isn't possible (more lenient early Great and Good) is made stricter for fairness. I know it's still not a perfect emulation, but it's as good as I could've gotten without reprogramming Stepmania myself. Every other "feature" you've listed is cosmetic garbage not pertaining to the actual gameplay. Your concerns about corrupting muh pure DDR gameplay spirit are unfounded as it's entirely down to Bemani's stepchart makers to choose how each one should look and what extra features give it.
I for one would love some kind of new gamemode with stepchart randomization that changes the patterns on each consecutive playthrough while accounting for all technically difficult stuff like crossovers, doublesteps and stepjumps in order to keep the difficulty consistent while forcing the player to quickly read and adapt instead of just memorising everything. Official SRT courses with visual chart obstructions would've also been nice, I'm tired of playing the same material done by the raging furfag and Undertale-loving autist all over again.
Over 50 tries spread throughout the last two weeks. Last 20 weren't even stamina, I'm just really bad at long streams. Horrible score too, but at some point I stopped caring about accuracy. This was the last ITG chart that's doable for me, Bloodrush and ITG 13s won't be for a very long time.
I'd love to write some sort of neutral comparison of DDR and ITG charts once I git gud enough to actually pass the more difficult ones without looking like a total scrub. For now almost everything I've passed looks sub-17, with some possible exceptions like Determinator, Euphoria and this piece of shit. Then again MAXX Unlimited itself looks like a 15 while PSM C seemed harder than any ITG chart I've passed.
>>14825730
not that anon but I think he was just shitting on you for using stepmania instead of ACData
I don't necessarily agree with him on all of his points in terms of stepmania vs DDR etc. but if you're going to theme it/try to emulate DDR you might as well just play the real deal.
>>14825971
I was playing OpenITG before switching to SM5 with DDR timing and scoring this year. The only reason I did this in the first place was me getting tired of ITG's excessive 320ms freeze grace trivialising freeze-heavy charts.
I'm too lazy to bother with all the garbage coming with the actual DDR game. Besides there are some features I'd like to code into SM in the future that obviously won't be present in DDR anytime soon.
>>14825903
>PSM C
Isn't is usually called PSMO?
i wonder if we'll get copula now that tau's done
>>14825971
ddr ac data is shit compared to stepmania, transparent arrows on my gpu, having to wait every 3 songs or after failing, can only adjust speed in 0.5 increments, no cmod, no shitty ziv simfiles for hours of entertainment, no simply love and having to adjust offset manually. Only good thing in ac data was nusP when it still existed.
>>14822346
My first 10 was MINT. It's only challenging in the middle and it gives you enough easy shit to build back up to 80% by the end.
>>14822309
lol japan and their fancy toilets.
Is there any AC Data torrent I can use a FL Token on? I can't seem to find anything not ancient.
And are there set "Freeleech holidays" I can count on or do they mostly just come and go at the staff's discretion?
>>14826664
Nope. Tokens don't work on data.
Are Sota and Nekomata the last good IIDX artists?
Who in the fuck thought Miracle 5ympho X was a 10?
That song is easily a hard 11. It's got basically every single pain in the ass parts of IIDX.

>>14827393
Prim is junk food
it's fine to indulge in a bit as long as your entire diet/songlist isn't made of it
Then again I unironically enjoy m1dy in IIDX so I probably shouldn't make too many judgements on this

Nah that would be Nekomata and Totto
I basically just play LR2 because psun is never fucking up
What timing offset do you people use for LR2? I feel like I'm doing shit tragically wrong.
I have it set to +75ms and DARQS says he uses his on 0. I don't even know anymore.
>>14827747
Offset is there to adjust the variable timing and latency between different systems.
Mine is on something like +89.
>>14825730
>>14826028
>>14826559
If you don't want to bother with "the garbage coming with the actual DDR game", why would you use this theme specifically? There are themes much better than this, and I'm not saying this because this theme is ok and others are better. I'm saying this because this theme is shit and others are ok/good.
This theme tries to imitate AC while failing at it, so it's got the advantages of neither stepmania nor AC, be it stuff like increments in speed/cmod (you cannot choose them precisely with this theme), gameplay elements (ex: no attacks), or even "garbage" from AC (ex: result screen asking up/left/right/down to see stats when AC asks left/right so you don't change screen by mistake). If it's the timing windows you are worried about, just edit the preferences file yourself.
>>14826974
New artists will make nice stuff to compensate, r-right?

How High is the Skill Ceiling in SDVX/KShoot Mania?
Why do some osu mania players keep grinding very easy songs (like, less than 3 stars/auto converts) trying to get #1 in the leaderboards? Isn't it better to farm hard shit to get pp or whatever?
>>14828634
as high as you want with stupid crossovers and unreadable knob traps
However the curve is much gentler than IIDX on the way to to 14/15's, you'll get there much faster than getting to 11/12 in IIDX.
>>14828662
1st place record dickwagging
>>14828662
For the sole reason of saying "I have first place on this song"
>>14828795
Listen to this guy.
In SDVX it took me less than a week to get from 8s to 14s
>>14828955
>>14828881
but how's that useful? no one is even going to know you have it unless they specifically look for it, and it doesn't give you any pp for the leaderboards
I mean, people spend like, 3-4h straight everyday grinding this shit
I thought it had some other reason, like acc training maybe idk (although I think there are more effective ways to train this sort of shit)
>>14828970
You have a list of first place songs
thats it
the satisfaction (No matter how little it is) they get from it is why they do it
>>14828956
Yeah, I went from 0-11 in about 3 months, got stuck, then suddenly improved to clear every 13, then I got stuck on 14's, then my shitty homebuilt controller's knobs finally shit the bed.
But learning how to recognize patterns at the 14 level is really what was difficult for me, just changing from reading knobs as "keep your hand on this knob until it disappears" to "only move to this knob when it changes position" was really fucking me over.
>>14828970
There's like a handful of guys who autistically get 1,000,000 on every convert that is released.
There's no point in trying.
The constant pp dickwagging was a big reason why i stopped playing osumania, once you start playing just to improve yourself by your own standards it's more fulfilling and enjoyable. Also iidx is a lot more fun

Check the IRC out and send a cindy drawing like it has been said already, you could also post your reason to want to join here along with your email and someone might consider inviting you.
>>14834662
Prolly not worth your time. I've been on there for over three months and I have only downloaded one thing I really care about.
Only thing people go there for is arcade data and until you have 25 GBs of upload, you can't download them, making the site essentially worthless. I'm still 10 GBs shy of being able to because no one downloads anything but the shit I can't download to seed in the first place.Unless you're not an idiot like me and realize sooner that this doesn't apply to freeleeches
>>14834768
The site is worth it if you actually want to discuss more in depth about rhythm games (or if you're autistic, but that's pretty much all of us in the site)
>>14834768
Your post made me think about this: what would happen if I downloaded non-stop from the freeleech torrent the least seeded that you have? Wouldn't you be able to get virtually infinite upload like this? Would this be even allowed?
>>14834768
Well, not sure where else I'd get SDVX.
>>14834664
>>14834716
Hmm, I see. Fair enough.
Worth a shot I suppose: [email protected]
Cheers for the responses.
>>14834824
You are indeed allowed to have 0 download and as much upload as you want, this makes your ratio stay on infinite.
>>14834968
You misunderstood what I was saying. I was saying this: I download, let's say, office 2007, that you are seeding. When the download is finished, I delete the data that I downloaded, to re-download it again (rinse and repeat). This way, you upload continuously data to me and increase your UP amount faster. Meanwhile, I don't increase my DL because the torrent is freeleech. The goal being you having an incredibly high UP amount in a short amount of time.
>>14834866
>not sure where else I'd get SDVX
Search more, there are ways to get bemani outside of sows.
>>14835022
yeah but thanks to the way the torrent system works you'll probably download from whoever has the highest upload to you, and considering that almost everyone has the freelech torrents downloaded the actual data you'll get from your friend is not too much.
You could technically get around it by blacklisting all the ip's in the peers list that aren't your friend, but why waste the time? Sows is piss easy to get ratio on anyway.
>>14835022
You could waste time doing that or you could just use the website normally for like 2 weeks and get power user

>>14834662
>doesn't seem welcoming to new people
This gets said from time to time but I'm not sure if it's just people who aren't used to private trackers or if they legitimately believe this. Sure, it doesn't have an application system like some other trackers (rarely) have open, and it doesn't have what's interview system, but most private trackers don't have these things. There are clear cut ways to getting in. It only took me two days on IRC and a single email for me to get in. Probably could've taken less if I was more proactive.In other words, lurk more faggot, and read the archives, this has been asked a million times.

So you fail the song and have to pay more money to play, although it gets really fucking stupid at points (ahem, I was the one another).

Because controllers are expensive and rare as fuck. Their own fault or more likely intention. Don't want to endanger their precious arcades.
I finally figured out why beatmania and early IIDX styles feel so much comfier: the keysounds are proper samples rather than a 1/1000th piece of the song.

Look at Nintendo, they still aren't capable of properly releasing their games and allow scalpers to dominate their market. It's as if the Japanese are incapable of doing something right when it comes to sales or properly treating the other markets outside of fucking Japan. Nintendo continues to treat their western market like shit with these awful boxed releases
I wouldn't be surprised if they did that in order to keep the arcade sales untouched. Those assholes should've focused on the western market and pushed beatmania over here considering how popular it was around 2008-09

The official PS2 controller works fine for playing the CS games, but if you're planning to use it on your computer expect lag.
If you're lucky enough to acquire a cheap controller, you can buy a modded PS2 memory card for like $10 so you can play the japanese CS games.

how often does DAO have special sales, if ever? I can't even afford an FPS due to the shipping cost
>>14844660
They have a sale that lasts until like next year.
Check the US warehouse, although there's no customization, so you'll have to buy your own microswitches to replace the honeywells.
>>14844672
They only stock the FP7 though, and after buying aftermarket Omrons the total cost will be the same as just buying an FPS with Omrons anyways.
>>14844701
What's got you going for an FPS? Are you really tight on space?
>>14844728
>tight on space
Not necessarily, but I do think the FP7 is pretty bulky. From someone using a USKOC, I much prefer the lower-profile build of the FPS. The ability to change between KOC <-> AC turntable spacing is a plus.

How's the timing on Voltex? It looks like it's way more forgiving than IIDX.
>>14845386
That's because it is
>>14845386
probably like jubeat timing or something
much wider than IIDX, maybe about 4 frames
>>14845386
Voltex probably has the loosest timing of all the scrolling note bemani games, people regularly max score 15s
about IIDX: is it just me or is CS timing stricter than AC timing? I am using USKOC on both and have trouble getting even A's on CS after playing on data for a while.

MechaCrash here.
I've come to learn that I don't really have any interest in jubeat, so that's why I initially felt like selling that. Thing is, I only play IIDX right now, and only have room for jubeat, reflec beat and IIDX to be set up - everything else is in storage.
Considering I'm struggling for money, I figure, sell them off for a reasonable price, and just buy them again in the future (when my money and space issues are alleviated).
I absolutely bought too much too quickly, but I had fun playing everything :)
Also I'm only selling 3 of my setups. I Stoll have DDR, Taiko, GFDM, IIDX, reflec, and countless console games. I dont just play bemani

hi nyami
SDVX scrub who wants to get into more Bemani here. Looking at Jubeat and IIDX ASCs atm. I enjoy Jubeat more than I enjoy IIDX, but it seems like IIDX might be a better game to get into long term. Advice?
>>14854675
IIDX. Jubeat is too easy.
>>14853828

get iidx it's a far better home setup
After having gone through all the chemo for my eventual recovery of cancer (osu!)
I've been trying to become a better person. Enjoy life more, you know. Osu! was only
getting me sicker, so after seeing IIDX, SDVX, PnM, jubeat I was falling into the world of
the real rhythm games and I knew what my goal in life was: Play these games until my
hands bleed and I die of starvation from playing hours on end.
I'm planning on getting a controller(s) and already have a good seedbox in my sight. So I'm
armed and ready to beat the mea... I mean beat the mania!
tl dr; I'm well equiped to seed until my dick falls off and will stay active until the end of days!
>>14855009
who is your seedbox with?
do you have proofs from other private trackers of any repute?
do you use μtorrent?
>>14855020
The seedbox I was talking about is seedbox.io.
At the moment I haven't had the chance to be part of any other private trackers, but like they say: you gotta start somewhere. And what better community then this one, am I right?
Only for public trackers, grabbing an innocent quick torrent (piracy laws aren't as strict in my country so I'm good) .
>>14855160
yeah sorry man, i wont invite you.
seedbox.io are pretty terrible, they have massive I/O throughput issues, their "gigabit" is massively over saturated and their slots are oversold.
just take the what.cd interview, its easy and you learn a lot, either that or join animebytes.
μtorrent is a torrent client with severe CVE's, it is insecure and damaging to the swarm, oh, its also bundled with malware and closed source.
>>14855185
Please do not use the term "closed source" to describe nonfree software. It makes the suggestion that the better option would be for the software to be "open source". However, the arguments for "open source" software are based solely on its practical value to its creators, ignoring the fact that free software is an ethical imperative regardless of practical value.
>>14855251
eat shit stallman
>>14855185
I understand where you're coming from, but you can also (like you did) point me in the right direction. I've heard good things about the seedbox, guess that wasn't really true.
But at the end of the day, I could prove myself as a loyal seeder and active member helping out others. I mean quit using utorrent and start using a better seedbox, should be a peace of cake.
Got bored with grinding FCs on old ~14/15s and got this on 8th try instead. Is this really supposed to be an 18? I take it the ending of the deathstream is absurd, but I could probably find some cheesy note-swapping strat to make an FC hypothetically possible for me.
And holy fuck Fascination MAXX is difficult as hell, even on Expert.

>Those assholes should've focused on the western market and pushed beatmania over here considering how popular it was around 2008-09
>Implying they didn't handwave the fuckload of people who went to the Gold AC location test and said it didn't count because a shitload of people traveled across the country to play the game and didn't make beatmania US shitty on purpose so they could tell everyone to fuck off whenever they ask them why they never made a serious localization attempt

Where can I see what you're selling? I may or may not be interested.

Oh no, I was playing on a cab with more responsive pads that aren't as sunken as fucking castle moats! I feel so cheated!"
>>14854675
get a pop'n controller its more fun
Honestly, I can't really 'get' people playing DDR when ITG is objectively better.
A Japanese player could go "Well, there's the fun of unlocking things and playing the events", but you don't have that if you play DDR in any place that isn't Japan, and even your "Muh pads quality" doesn't work because the majority of non-Japan cabs are just converticabs anyway whose pads got sunken on purpose.
EVEN if you for some unfathomable reason you enjoy charts that don't even loosely follow the music in the background, with deliberately bad patterns that require moves that break all flow of dance so that you have to dump more coins hoping to get that FC, you can do that on ITG too.
With the difference that you won't be playing with a timing window that fluctuates on every single note unless the bpm is a perfect multiple of 60.
Literally the only argument a staunch DDR supporter has at any time is "Muh treadmill simulator", completely ignoring the slew of technical charts actually done right that the community offers in place of Bemani's latest coin-eater.
I'm mystified.
>>14856129
the biggest complaint i've seen about ITG is how most of the hard charts are endless dumpstreams.
>>14856055
I find it more fun than iidx but man is the shitty grading system starting to get to me.
>>14856143
To be fair, that's the only way of making a chart 'hard' once you've gone past the 14th level.
And even then, the hardest DDR chart ever put out is like a ITG 13-14 rating, there's a billion challenging, while still fun and stream-free charts in that difficulty bracket on ITG.
People complain about 'endless streams' as if the existence of extremely high-level charts fitting the description ruined the whole game.
If you're able to play even the easiest of those charts then it means you're way above anything DDR has to offer already.
>>14856167
>shitty grading system
?
>>14856167
but pop'n doesn't have a grading system...
>>14856182
It has the medals but the way they work is super dumb.
>>14855337
Okay I'm curious why you use this shit theme in the first place, but aside from that... Do you play with a metal pad, foam pad, or is it kb?
>>14856167
Just look at the score, it's not influenced by the combo.
why are 11's so inconsistent? some charts I can nearly fc while others I have to quit out of 20 seconds in because they're so dense.
>>14856129
I like standardization.
I actually really like ITG2 as a game. I don't like "ITG" as a custom song platform.
>With the difference that you won't be playing with a timing window that fluctuates on every single note unless the bpm is a perfect multiple of 60.
It's actually BPMs that evenly divide 900 if you're concerned about 16th notes (e.g. 90, 100, 150, 180, 225, 300). The fact that all the bemani games have frame-based timing windows is really shitty, though.
>>14856236
The medals are more like clear status than a scoring/grading system.

Pig site marketplace.
I'll repost here. Biggest issue is shipping - I'm from the UK, and these things are heavy, so shipping is very expensive.
Bemani PC - 100 GBP
- E4690 GPU
- E8400 CPU
- enough storage and RAM to run anything
I'll sell for 50 GBP if you buy BOTH a screen and a controller for one of the games listed (SDVX, Jubeat, Pop'n).
Jubeat controller (FB9, gen3 rubber) - 250 GBP
Jubeat screen (Dell S2740L) - 200 GBP
FULL JUBEAT SETUP - 500 GBP
Pop'n controller (DAO, includes arcin and sanwas) - 350 GBP
Pop'n screen (Samsung UE32F4000) - 100 GBP
FULL POP'N SETUP - 500 GBP
SDVX controller (SVRE9, includes arcin, omrons and sanwas) - 400 GBP
SDVX screen (Samsung UE32F5000) - 100 GBP
FULL SDVX SETUP - 550 GBP
Hori Taiko Pro Controller - 200 GBP

I'm with the guy above - standardisation is a big deal to me. I like have a (relatively) static selection with a consistent level of quality control and progression.
Whenever I play community driven games, there always seems to be a need for personal curation, where charts and songs are lacking in one way or another. I'm just not a fan of that.
Other points of consideration:
There's more songs on ITG - not really bothered when there's over 1000 songs on DDR. I doubt ill ever play through all of them already.
Timing is more consistent - but timing is still standardised for DDR. It may not be "right", but as long as it's wrong for everyone, you retain an even playing field. Also people have managed high level MFCs. Can't be that bad.
Social aspect of the community - there's communities that focus on bemani too. I also feel that the ITG community is very poor (elitism over cabs, e.g. Dedicab, baby powder, extremely long songs / customs that hog the machine, not as accepting of new and low level players, etc.)
The list goes on, but the end result is I prefer DDR to ITG. Don't really see why you're so opposed to the idea that someone has a preference that doesn't match your own... But ok.

Sorry you have shit taste if you like ITG's playlist but not DDR's.
what's /jp's opinion on K-Shoot Mania?
>>14860811
Considering that it's pretty much the only SDVX simulator, it's okay.
Shame that it doesn't run on vertical setups, however.
