What new/returning features do you guys want to see most for IIDX 24?

Re-rate The Safari as an 11
i hope they bring back go berzerk
>>15500708
new difficulty scale
>>15500722
The Safari is absolutely not an 11. Hell, it's not even a hard 10. Get on Beat (wild style) is harder than The Safari.
why do people find the safari so difficult
>>15500708
Console release.
>>15500708
goli thighs
>>15500798
It's only difficult with respect to the rest of 7th dan.
Not that it matters, I haven't even passed 6th dan yet.
>>15500700
Is this real?
What does it even say? Sinobuz? Literally what the fuck?
>>15501093
It's real, and yes, Sinobuz, otherwise known as Cinnobutts.
>>15501117
Looks like it'll be DistorteD-esque.
I'm 100% okay with this.
>>15501018
That's true. They should really re-do the dan ranks. Everything from 8th dan up takes a long time to progress through, while everything from 7th kyu to 7th dan is incredibly gentle.
>>15501182
Literally every bemani game has this issue, though.

what are some good keyboard stands? preferably one that i can use my pop'n asc as well as my 2dx asc on
>>15501269
They all wobble like shit just buy an adjustable height desk
>>15501018
>tfw passed 6th dan on pendual on AC but can't on copula
>give me a mother-----in break
how do i play ddr properly
it feels like my movements are too big and wasteful which contributes to me tiring out quickly
whenever i see good people playing it's like they stay glued to the middle and move their feet only as much as needed with no unnecessary movements at all
>>15500798
In that case Re-Rate Elisha as a 9 instead of a 10.
>tfw will never own a museca eamuse card
>>15501745
How do they even get those cards? Does Konami physically mail them the cards after they sign up?
>>15500767
This is needed so badly. There's such a huge gap between 10's and 11's, it's not even funny. Playing on console because I'm a scrub; I can clear every 10 on Empress, minus one or two, and I can barely early clear two or three 11s. It's so bad. I'd be happy with the same 20 point scale as DDR.
>>15501730
Elisha H needs to be a 9, A needs to be a 10.
>>15501913
H should be 9 but A as 11 is fine. Super easy song but some parts near the end are a bit too much for 10.
>>15501663
you've got the idea, just put it in to practice
base all your movements around the center square, ideally your feet are as close as possible to the center/the brackets/the other pads so you have minimal travel time
make the lightest steps that you can to preserve energy, sometimes if you're on a shitty arcade cabinet you'll have to make bigger, harder steps
Portal [H] is so much fun. Are there any similar charts? Mainly talking about the fast 123+567 stairs.
>>15502086
symmetry [H]
Hinabita in IIDX when
>>15500708
what more could you add to iidx anyways? it took over 16 releases to get LNs (charge notes) in the game, and Copula just had different CNs that consumed gauge differently.
>>15502297
>what more could you add to iidx anyways
an effects pedal
>>15502297
Replace TT with 2 knobs
>>15502297
Put a crossfader on there like DJ Hero. Now we're talking convoluted shit.
Do you ever need to replace buttons/microswitches for an FP7? If so after how long? I'm using Omrons and the default buttons.
>>15501663
>>15501943
I'm going to build a pad with the inner halves of each panel cut out to avoid this.
>>15502343
Literally this.
Imagine pulling off Mad Mass' sweet crossfade moves from this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TNMPgOBTlA
>>15502321
>DP IIDX with 4 knobs
I want to play this
>>15502419
Unless a switch actually breaks then not really. They're supposed to last for literal years by themselves.
Looking to buy a metal pad, or make my own. How are the precision dance pads? They look like they're a bit too far from the arcade feel for me (no screws?). Can anyone tell me how the feel compares to the arcade? I'll also take any recommended tutorials, since the only one I can remember from back in the day is the one hosted on angelfire.
I'm trying to get back into the game but the arcade near me with the good DDR machine SOLD IT and now some random fuck owns it and I can't play on it anymore. Looking for arcade feel over anything else. Any recs?
>>15503365
Build one.
Nothing else feels close to arcade.
Precision Dance Pads are shit.
>>15502739
w-what?
like
you want to step to the edges of the pad each time you hit an arrow?
why
>>15503365
they're not like the arcade at all but they're very nice
almost feels like cheating because of how ridiculously sensitive it is and how easy it is to move your feet around when the whole top surface is smooth plastic
i have one that they don't make anymore, the ITGX that has pieces of particleboard or something to simulate the brackets/raised parts on a real pad, it helps guide bracketing, i don't think i'd like the pad as much as i do without it
>>15503805
It doesn't look or feel as cool otherwise~
I enjoy the exhaustion~
Seriously though, seeing somebody play like that is far more impressive than seeing somebody hug the brackets.
I know this is 'no bars allowed' logic, but I think there's room for both.
>>15502297
Things I would do.
Replace effector sliders with a touch screen.
Replace red LED title bar with similarly sized screen, and have options to have EX score and/or judgment totals displayed on it instead of the song title.
A tutorial attract mode like in Museca, and have the turntables always make noise in attract mode like in SDVX.
Replays of high scores set on the machine played in attract mode.
Toggle on result screen to show graph of EX accuracy rather than groove gauge (so you can see how long you stayed in AAA range throughout play, for example).
Music visualizer video output or at least as overlays on top of stock videos. If you're not going to bother making a dedicated video, do something that has the visuals respond to the music somehow.
Direct Adjust Mode - Hold down start button as usual to adjust speed settings. There are three categories. Top is Sudden, Middle is Green, Bottom is Lift. Black keys toggle focus up, white keys toggle focus down. Use number pad to directly input desired values.
"Unearned" song folder category. Here's your songs for which you have earned 0 DJP, whether never played or only played on previous games.
Constant Speed as an Easy Assist.

I used IRC for the last time more than 10 years ago so I don't even know how to contact and enter sows there.
>>15506104
>everything on this channel
>>15505863
I find my timing is a little better on machines with headphone jacks. Might just be because it blocks out other machines in the arcade.
>>15506242
Do -any- IIDX cabs have headphone jacks?
Comparing my home setup to playing the same songs on cabs i hate how I can't hear everything
>>15506255
Not official but tons of arcades in Japan add headphone jacks to their machines, Pop'n too. Though obviously Konami caught on and now Museca and (I think) SDVX both have jacks built into the cabs.
>try a 12
>hands get sweaty in the middle of the song
Do I really need to bring chalk to the arcades because of this?
>>15506512
Pour baby powder over the machine.
>>15506542
i would bring a small towel to place over the keys when i go to the arcade.
>/jp/ poster can't pass the 11 wall
>calls himself casual

Can we finally admit that Rock Band is harder than IIDX?
>>15502419
I've been using Chinese knockoff switches for nearly a year now, and they're all still working. Can't imagine real Omrons being any worse.
>>15502419
I do, but I have a severe anger issue with these games.
You'll probably be fine though. Maybe clean out the buttons every once in a while but that's it really.
It happened. Didn't play for a long enough interval to make me worse at the game.
might as well buy an FP7 now and start from scratch. Having to practice just to get to your previous level feels awful.
>>15507231
no, it's just that casuals see themselves as pros for being able to pass the hardest on easy games.
Does anybody here have a link for the Samojam client? Been looking for it for a while. (don't need an invite, just the client)
What's the oldest rhythm game?
I know there's a few things that predate Bemani, but what's the first?
I hope Sinobuz brings more Mad Mass IZM*!
>>15508206
I think it was Parappa.
Beatmania may have been the first actual music game though;
>>15508172
>Samojam
Can I just ask how anyone can play this? Not in terms of difficulty, but in that it looks like a bunch of random notes that barely match up with the music. What's the appeal?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs5f5W4Yyyk
>>15508223
>barely match up with the music
it matches up pretty well I think
different style of charting from other games though, that's fore sure
Do you guys like Technika or do you call it a meme game too?
>>15508296
Touch screen games are automatically bad.
>>15508296
Touch screen is an automatic meme
>>15502419
I've still been using the default ones that came with the stock FP7. With just the default buttons and omrons do you get the same sound the buttons make in the arcade or do I need to buy sanwas to get that luxury
>>15508629
Only Sanwas will make that delicious arcade clicking sound.
Default buttons are okay if you never had the opportunity to play on an actual cabinet, you may switch buttons anyway since they're of better quality. Not that default's bad to begin with. They're fine.
guys the ddr a us songs are actually fun

The new scoring system for Lapistoria disgusts me.
>tfw you finally clear that chart you've been trying to clear for months
What's her name /jp/? For me it was High School Love (Ex)
>>15511044
I played Sigmung (H) about 15-20 times before I finally cleared it. I would yell out out "SIGMUND" before playing it like I was fucking Achilles yelling "Hector" or some shit.
I can clear it pretty regularly now. Still love the song.
Also Detonator (H) was another pain in my dick because it's probably my favorite song in all of IIDX and I couldn't clear it.
Also, for Pop'n, fucking Searching... Hyper. I cannot fucking clear this thing. At all. Ever. I can do 41s and 42s, but this one is out of my reach.

So I just installed my copals and god damn they feel so good.
For one they are absolutely solid. There's no wiggling at all with the knobs now. 0 give.
And the first song I played it felt like lasers (I seriously still don't even know the proper terminology for this shit) were guiding themselves.
I still need to play with the sensitivity a bit because I played Attack on Dwarf and did absolute shit.
I did think they had LEDs though, but apparently they don't. I guess that AC set only.
>>15510427
no you meant hinabita
>>15513314
>I still need to play with the sensitivity a bit because I played Attack on Dwarf and did absolute shit.
either git gud or try 1.5 turns on the knob = 1 turn in bemanitools. That's my personal sweet spot although it of course may vary per person.
>>15513414
I'm just trying to be helpful, man. You do realize different encoders will have different PPRs, right?
I just installed them and started playing. Didn't play more than two songs. Like I said I need to tinker with it. It's not about getting gud.
>>15508792
No, it's just to keep shop records.
>Sinobuz

i'll probably never get to play copula
i don't like this feeling
>>15514264
You gotta believe anon. When edition 34 comes out I doubt Konami will care about extremely outdated old stored data is leaked and hacked.
How do you guys grip the bar in DDR? With your knuckles forwards, to the sides, or backwards?
>>15514341
forwards but I suck at it anyway who cares
>>15514341
On ITG/PIU, backward. On DDR, backward, or sometimes sides because the bar isn't wide enough for my shoulders.
>>15514341
Backwards is the only correct answer
>>15514341
Backwards or sometimes to the sides when it's a lighter song or a song im confident i can breeze through.
>>15514341
i don't cheat
Is there a Pendual skin for LR2?
>>15514264
At least you can play. ;_;
>>15515556
You can play too, if you put your mind soul and heart to it.
I believe in you jp-kun <3
>>15515549
yeah but it's only a playskin.
Just get pendual or wait for copula ac datawhich will never come
i wish at least one of the four round 1's in LA moved several miles down to san diego. there is literally no reason to have that many locations so close together.

on sdvxiii what features/functionality should i have if i have an id and am connected to the server? am i still supposed to be only able to play as a guest? I'm doing this off of what someone else gave me so i really don't know shit
>>15516084
If you don't swipe an eamuse card, or whatever you have that bound to in bemanitools, you're still a guest. Generate a 16-character hex code starting with E004, stick it in a text file, and point tools to it.
>>15516084
Check the forums or IRC.
how are you supposed to get any of the special e-amuse cards? i can barely find info on which ones exist, much less where to buy them.
>>15516176
>>15516183
I had everything, it was just the start of the hex code that i was missing, thanks

I did backwards for ages, but then my right wrist started dying to the point where I just couldn't play anymore.
Now I just play nobar.

To be fair the hardest songs in GH are on par with the average hard songs in guitar freaks.
>>15516766
Difficulty doesn't make a game better.
Remember to take a break if you need to!
Generally I find the best time for me is when you stop seeing Dolce as an inspiration, and start seeing him as an antagonist.
>>15516766
I was going to say something like this. AAA all the 12s you want, 5 starring TtFatF is still impressive.
Yeah the skill ceiling is nowhere near almost any game in Bemani, but I believe it still has its place in rhythm gaming.
>>15516811
It really doesn't, though, because it's 80% murdered BEMANI in the west.
'Oh, so it's like guitar hero with a turntable?'
Fuck off
>>15516831
I welcome all rhythm games.
You can be a petty, pedantic little shit all you want about it though.
>>15516831
You have to blame Konami for this, not GH.
>>15516270
By being japanese.
Doesn't DJ Hero's failure tell you iidx could never reach minimum recognition in the whest?
Or did that game fail because it was bad?
>>15517446
I thought DJ TROOPERs' failure is more indicative of that than anything
>>15517446
Game wasn't bad, it was just unpopular. Which is sad because I liked it.
On Sows, I dug up a thread about it. They were shitting all over for several pages. Fast forward to page 10 or so and it turns into "Wow, this game's actually fun" and "How the fuck did you 5 star X? That song's hard as fuck. I can't do [part of song]"
It was actually pretty neat to see.
>>15517564
I see. Never actually played the games, but the game + controller are so cheap I might as well give it a try.
>>15517670
It's ok. It's nice when you want to play IIDX but don't want the stress of having to deal with IIDX.
Scratching is pretty different, though.
>>15517496
I think that they should try one more time now. INFINITAS is popular in fucking Japan, why not on Steam?
>>15518512
Steam hasn't dominated the market in Japan like is has everywhere else.
Beyond that, the Japanese do not give a shit about us, so they're unaware of how dominating it is.
>>15513314
Alright, so after a little fiddling, I found the best feel and performance was with a 1:1 ratio in bemanitools.
If you guys care.

Are you new to these threads or something? Dj Dao is mentioned like literally every thread.
>>15518760
Yes I'm new I play often but don't hang in communities of players. I used to play a lot of stepmania and DDR but now I wanna try something new with a pad.
I also want to try beatmania but pad are a bit more expensive and it's a bit more techno/electro.
How transferable are Taiko skills from 3DS to an arcade machine/actual drum?
>>15518854
Zilch
>>15518863
Thought as much. Oh well.
>>15518854
It depends on how you've been playing it. For example, StepMania can have skill transfer to DDR if you're playing with your index fingers on the arrow keys, with each finger simulating a leg/foot. Things like timing, reading, and foot technique (crossovers etc.) can transfer to playing the actual game that way. If you're a faggot that plays C1000 spread, then you're playing a different game.
I don't know the control scheme on the 3DS, but if you alternate hands as you would with the drum sticks, then I'd think you'd have a pretty good head start on the real game.
>>15518901
I'm using two styluses on the touch screen. I've gotten quite a few patterns down and can pass 8*s consistently but I was mainly worried about the layout of the 3DS touch screen vs an actual drum controller.
For now I won't worry about it so much and just focus on getting over that fucking 9* wall.

konami released iidx here way too late (beatmania ps2) and it was quite literally compared to guitar hero by new players and reviewers along with having a shit songlist full of pop covers
also iidx isn't "fun" enough for an american audience, the skill barrier for normal songs is higher than basically everything in guitar hero/rock band

>>15520964
Canada, it wasn't anything major or anything but the conversation was just a bit more drawn out than it should have been (how we knew each other, our jobs, why we were driving that far, etc).
We stayed for the long weekend obviously.
>>15520995
Did you stay for at least a few days?
I wouldn't drive 18 hours unless I was getting at least 3 solid days outta playing the games.
>>15521003
I spent $130 over the span of 3 days and I still think I didn't spend enough

Are you the same person who asked me about xenojam
Because samojam is korean only, I speak korean but I got banned when I logged in because American IP
Also literally what are you trying to accomplish asking about this
>>15508223
idk, it seems like they just charted several elements of the song at the same time (lyrics, different instruments)
looks cool honestly except that it's practically unreadable with the giant effects from the target area
>>15508172
Fuck off you dumb nigger
>>15508206
VOS or Canmusic probably
To people who bought an FP7 off gamo2.com,
did they put the item's full price on the package information when shipping it or just the postage cost?
Am I going to have to pay tax for the item+postage, or just the postage?
>>15521459
I think just the postage cost.
I remember some threads ago this was mentioned. I remember thinking it was pretty based of DJ Dao.
So how do you people pronounce "sows"?
I say sows as in "He sows the seeds"
But since people call it "the piggy place" I figured others say sows as in the plurality of a female pig.
FAQ when?
>>15521756
FAQ for what?
>>15521724
it's called bemaniso.ws, so i say sows as in ISOs
>>15521724
it's sows as in female pig plural.
the name comes from Bemani ISO and the fact that the site domain is .ws
>>15520737
I'm a flaming faggot
Please give me a sows invite.-.
>>15522173
>.-.
I was considering it, but then you added that.
>>15522173
just email corin
Everyone seems to improve much faster than me despite seemingly playing less
Should I just give up already
>>15522293
Sometimes playing constantly can reduce your ability to get better
Give it two days or so and let your motor neurons solidify, then come back and slingshot
>>15522303
Fuck you I won't fall for that again, the last time I took a break I ended up where I was about a year ago
>>15522293
I think daily consistency is more important than fixation on specific improvement, as well as keeping times limited.
I think playing one hour sessions every day of the week would yield more consistent improvement than playing two hours five days of the week. Playing after being worn out won't help.
Not Kaiden, so you may ignore this completely.
>>15522311
Maybe you're not having the results you want because you're being such a negative little shit about it.
Dolce has fun. You can hear him talking to his friends in his videos.
His twitter is filled with uplifting comedy.

why?
is it possible to change the HI-SPEED thing in iidx into a slider instead of having set intervals
>>15523434
yes
>>15523434
floating hi-speed
enable lift or sudden
press effect when you're changing hi-speed
or literally check remywiki you dumb nigger
>>15522420
Is there some specific question you need answered?
Most of the stuff in here is pretty common knowledge and a few useful links to basic sites
>>15518854
Pretty good as long as you don't cheat by using more than 2 inputs at the same time (like osu by playing with 4 keys).
>>15523587
Should I keep on with LR 2 or try to get and set up ac data. I'm not really sure where I should be starting from.
>>15523881
>or try to get and set up ac data.
Might as well, considering premium free's a thing.
>>15523881
if you already have ac data and access to a pcbid do it
>>15523922
I don't have any ac data but I'm sure it can't be that hard to come into one of the IIDXs
>>15523928
You can find Tricoro on BCG if you have an account there. You can easily find PS2 Isos of IIDX but it's very outdated.
Also,Bemanigirlleaked Pendual data. But you might as well join the secret club. If new stuff ever comes out, that place is the first (and many times only) place to get it.
>>15524153
I'm not apart of any of the secret clubs I don't really want to suck dicks for a invite
>>15522293
when i last played DDR i could barely pass some 14s, came back yesterday and fucking dominated Possession Challenge.

Blackcats games. Another private tracker. It's a good one though.
Is there anything wrong with starting to learn IIDX through LR2 and keyboard?
Im from argentina and im getting my first IIDX controller from Djdao.
So excited, can't wait!
What are the general differences between the PS2 IIDX controller and the arcade (or arcade-style)? Are the buttons themselves farther apart on the ASC, or are the buttons just farther from the turntable?
Wondering if it's worth it to buy an ASC when I already have the PS2 version.
>>15524713
the ps2 version has input lag on pc.
>>15524713
Turntable's farther away. It's also larger, and might be elevated more.
Keys are microswitched instead of membranes.
PS2 adapters have input lag, which (depending on your adapter) might be okay as long as it's constant. AC has plenty of input lag anyway.
I only have 1 USKOC, but I want to try playing DP. Would it be a decent idea to try playing with my USKOC on one hand and a keyboard on the other? I'm a BMS player if that's relevant.
>>15524669
if you're learning on the default LR2 keybinds (like ZSXDCF) then not really, it will get you a decent idea of how to play the game. You should try to get your thumbs on to the keyboard either way though.
>>15524713
ASCs usually have clicky buttons, bigger turntables, and the keys are further apart from the keys.
>>15524723
>>15524768
I just play on my PS2, I don't bother with PC stuff. I'm just that lazy.
For the price of a IIDX ASC, I guess I'll just stick with mine. I'm not nearly good enough at this game to justify spending that much money on it. I like it, but I'd like it a lot more if I didn't suck at it despite practice. I was wondering if an ASC would help, but it's not sounding like it. Guess I'll have to git gud with the con I've got.
>>15524807
there are overjoy BMS players who use the shitty PS2 controllers, they're perfectly fine to play with.
>>15524840
If they're fine to play with why call them shitty? Are they poorly constructed? Do they break easily?
>>15524867
>>15524867
idk lol
>>15524699
Get two and send one to me, my white friend. I'm fromBrazil
>>15524867
They're perfectly fine it's just they're not AC dimensions. I personally played with a USKOC for a few months before getting an FP7 and had to readjust to scratching. But they're fine
DOLCE btfo
>>15524791
for a BMS player, it doesn't really matter if you have fun, but i couldn't imagine doing it myself. you really need two proper controllers to get a good doubles experience.
>>15524713
the buttons on the ps2 controller are harder to press, don't really feel like you're clearly pressing them, and don't give a good clicking sound. if you're using a JKOC and it hasn't been modded, the buttons can get stuck down too. obviously arcade buttons light up.
turntable is larger on ASC and further from the keys (90mm instead of 70mm from key 2). turntable is larger, and positioned higher up on the controller. the turntable is also elevated (21mm). the US KOC turntable also has a very small amount of input lag compared to the JP one (digital vs analogue), but it isn't really noticeable.
unless you get a very good PS2-USB adapter you can't really play anything with a KOC on PC, and even then, there'll still be some notable lag.
if you're trying to play anything above a 10, i'd recommend getting an ASC.
>>15525232
Who are you quoting
If you're gonna use a KOC, do what I did and superglue pennies under the buttons. Reduces the travel distance and generally feels nicer to play on. It's a cheap mod, sure, but it makes the KOC more fun to play with.
(at least until I can afford an FPS)
>mfw feel like dropping spaghetti when playing SDVX AC
>feel at home when playing IIDX
Strange
>>15526062
IIDX feels weird at first, but then gets comfortable
SDVX starts intuitive and nice, but then gets really weird
>>15523881
Don't bother wasting your time with LR2.
Just get AC data from sows orbemanigurland never look back, the difference is immense.
Speaking of which, whose dick do I need to suck to get into sows?
