What are some easy 11s beside zephyranthes or chrono diver -pendulum-? im starting with 11s and those are the easiest for me.

>>16530212

>>16530212
You cleared chrono diver pendulums [h]?

That ain't a starter 11.

>Can clear low level 11s
>Can't clear many hard 10s

?

>>16530212
Erosion Mark
Afro Knuckle
Realize Maze
Pendual Talisman
Coliseum

List goes on. Pendual and Spada have a tkn of easy 11s for some reason. There are some bullshit ones too though.

>>16530212
Digitank System.

How are the rankings on Statisk determined anyway? I'm having a lot more trouble on Genocide SPH than the NC ranking suggests.

>>16531504
It's literally subjective

The Central Station memer can go there and rate it 14. There's probably some oigyt moderation ghere, I hope.

How are the ratings on clickagain determined?

I've been using it to try and break into 9's.

>>16532003
Since it's 9s, they just use the clickagain ratings for lots of them.

Go for 9.0s like yoshida san or medicine of love.

>>16532039
No, I was asking if the ratings on clickagain are determined subjectively by random people rating it or if there's some other metric they use to divide songs into x.x difficulties

>>16532222
Yes. It's from random people rating it.

Would you go on a date with Riot?

Finallay cleared 3y3s H

Now that I'm used to early 11 density, that annoying part at the start of the song isn't so bad

>>16532247

I'd bang Riot.

Could anyone help with a turntable problem? After too much scratching or something, my FP7 turntable just fails when moved counter-clockwise. Testing the inputs, a CC spin makes a small up input and a large DOWN input. Any way to fix it?

official konami controller

>>16534221
Oh, that's pretty neat.

>sows unironically defend and duckride Kyle Ward

lol?

>>16534221
But why. N-1 and even less songs than our data due to the expired licenses. Can't even play gentle stress.
If they released SDVX IV there would at least be some incentive, but with this you'd just be paying more for less.
Controller looks pretty nice, though.

>>16534406
>But why
a large portion of the music game community (maybe not sdvx players...) are adults with plenty of disposable income who would pay for these games if given the chance

>>16534423
It's just silly given that this probably came about due to lots of people playing data. You're not gonna stop piracy by providing an inferior version/service.
Giving people access to something they don't have is a pretty strong incentive. And most people, as far as sows is concerned, don't currently have any way of playing SDVX IV.

>>16534583
>And most people, as far as sows is concerned, don't currently have any way of playing SDVX IV

i would be willing to bet that a percentage majority of americans have access to round 1s with sdvx 4 cabs

Naturally.

But yeah, you're probably right.

>>16534588
Closest R1 to me is an hour away :(

>>16530212
ZEPH is a pretty mean 11, and Pendulums [h] is retarded, you can probably do a lot more than the entry levels lol

MIRACLE MEETS, COLOSSEUM, Halfway of promise, Take It Easy, Harmony and Lovely, PENDUAL TALISMAN, 全力 SPECIAL VACATION!! ~限りある休日~, Love Is Eternity, refractive index, Destiny Sword, マインド・ゲーム, Erosion Mark, BROKEN EDEN, Empire State Glory, Rock Da House, AFRO KNUCKLE... that should be a good list to get you started.

People usually put KEY, R5, 仮想空間の旅人たち, DAWN -THE NEXT ENDEAVOUR-, and Cosmic Cat in the "entry level 11" category, and while they're easy I wouldn't say they're entry level. But if you're doing Pendulums then you can probably do them, and probably like half of the 11s folder

>>16534863
None that are free as in freedom.

does The ether [WORLD'S END] have the most notes of any rhythm game chart ever?

>>16530212
>>16535221
Zephy is only easy until the midway point. Then it becomes a legit 11

>>16535221
Harmony and Lovely is easy until THAT part.

I'm still not sure how to deal with it. And I supposed to drop the standard hand position and arrange myself in a way to be fast enough for it?

How the hell do you do jackhammers on 5 key beatmania

>>16535769

Is this controller any good? It's half the price of an fp7 and i don't have to pay absurd amount of money for shipping

>>16537237
>-Java
>-Crashes quite often

Literally right there. Java is an unoptimized pile of shit

>>16537337
Modern Java with it's JIT compiler is performant, and "optimization" has nothing to do with how often something crashes. If anything, a low-level language like C would leave more room for error, while being faster.

It's not like a beat game is very CPU intensive, so it doesn't matter that much if Java isn't fast. Have you noticed lag or stuttering or anything when playing beatoraja?

Unrelated but I just tried it with a bme file and it worked

>>16537326
>It's half the price of an fp7
Where?

>>16537366
I'm responding to myself

I did notice some clicking while playing. It might be Java's fault, but I would guess it's a bad choice of sound output buffer size.

>>16537326
it has no springs and no USB plug. Great for a modded PS2 tho.

>Or so was claimed in one of his videos.
That's just his annoying friends hyping him up. KAC is this weekend.

>>16537326
I have two. They're OK. The biggest issue is that the switches are hard soldered onto the wires, so if you ever reach a point where a switch dies and you need to replace it, you'll need to use a soldering iron to remove and replace it. You could put in quick connectors on everything so that you don't have to worry about that.

The physical dimensions are too small to permit Sanwa keys to ever be put in, but that's probably not a concern for someone who is looking to save money.

I liked how loose the turntables are.

anyone here play in akiba?

i meet up with a couple friends to play every week or so. our main games are mai mai and chuunithm, occasional jubeat and soundvoltex

>>16539409
When I was staying in Japan in december I would play Chuunithm in akiba

sadly no longer in animeland

>>16539409
Sorry, but I'm a hardcore 7th Dan IIDX player. I'm elite and don't hang out with casuals.

>>16539409
I've played in akiba when I was there on vacation once.

I can proudly say I've failed a song on that prim machine.

>>16539409
Do people go laughinggirls.jpg if you use easy in IIDX?

>>16539660
Of course they do. Girls will laugh at your back and if you dare to stare back they'll knock you down and stomp on your dick with their heels. If you're a girl they'll rip your shirt and tease your nipples in front of everyone.

There's no shame in failing a song in IIDX, but there is shame on lowering the game's strict standards

>>16542433
>>16542388
While it's true that Bemani/Konami are shit companies, the games are still arguably legitimate especially nowadays with so many good talented artists competing to get a song into the newest releases. If you were Japanese with the nearest arcade having good access to the game, you wouldn't care what foreigners think or want, either.

With this said. It does not forgive them for being generally shit developers. The games basically never change, and while to an extent that's understandable, Bemani games are nonetheless stagnant, and Japanese society in general is conservative, and as a result, until new competition comes along, there will be nothing new, ever.

And in regards to pirating, it's not that different from the west. Probably stricter, but that's what you get dealing with Japs. Breaking laws is absolutely kinshi and yurusan. Law is almost completely objective.

I play flash flash revolution

>>16544066
Good on you it's allright. There's much more out there, though. just saying.

Expand your horizons a bit and you'll find yourself a bit more satisfied, I think.

>>16543835
You're totally wrong laws in Japan. It's more like 'laws on the books' and 'laws which are enforced'. Pirating is mostly just on the books unless you're a serious dealer or get unlucky during some sting operation.

And there's plenty of attempts at newness in the overall music game genre (SDVX, Chunithm, Museca, Beatstream, Crossbeats, etc. all within the past 5 years).

>>16531775
guess you could download opsu and play osu beatmaps if you are super desperate

>>16543835
What the hell needs to change? They're rhythm games. You mash inputs in sync with music.

>>16544249
>What the hell needs to change?
>in sync
Well, for starters, the games should stop having frame-based timing windows.

>>16544481
Why

>>16544578
different anon but because it leads to stupid shit like songs being easier or harder to time depending on their bpm (because there are certain magic bpms where beat boundaries align precisely with frame boundaries)

>>16544605
this isn't true anymore

>>16544481
How else would you sync games then

>>16544610
It is absolutely still true.

>>16544638
With an effective polling rate greater than 60 Hz. Quantized alignment is fine as long as the granularity is relatively small compared to the timing windows themselves. In IIDX, for example, a 2 frame PGREAT window with 1 frame of "jitter" due to frame rounding means half of the timing window is inconsistent depending on the BPM, and that's annoying.

You know what IIDX needs?

Working on a little project right now. Someone knocked over one of these DDR Solo cabs and broke the top speakers off. They thought it was unrepairable so they gave it to me for almost nothing. When I got into it, I found out that it was a simple rewiring job. Now I'm just waiting for the replacement neons to arrive.

>>16545196
jealous as fuck, i have wanted to play solo 2000/bass mix for yeeeaars and never ran into a cab

>>16545143
That would actually be really interesting to play because you'd basically be force to one-hand the entire thing unless the turntable is hilariously loose, in which case you can keep kicking it in the same direction.

>>16545143

You understand that the majority of players are not that autistic right? Konami has 0 reasons to do this.

>>16545143
I didn't realize that was a possibility til just now. I tried to do something similar in LR2 for a scratch chart but most peoplep would just let the combo drop.

You can't do that with HCN.

I'm someone who clears and FCs 10 star onis in my sleep and I still genuinely don't get why people who play actually advanced and dexterous games like iidx or pop'n can have trouble with taiko.

I get that it's a different type of physical movement with a different type of note highway but bemani has a much higher skill ceiling and making the jump from bemani to taiko should be much easier than doing the opposite.

>>16544647
Wait, BM timing resolution is at 60FPS? I was thinking of writing a toy rhythm game and was worried that I would need to increase the physics framerate so I could get the engine to poll inputs faster.

Chris is on par with FEFEMZ on Period, and was WR on VD and has one great on Egoism 440 Challenge. Not sure about PRev, but he can definitely make up for any EX score loss with Egoism or any of the half-dozen or so high-end 18s where he has a death grip on the WR of.

>>16548222
He could've chosen Pluto Relinquish or Tohoku Evolved. He has WR in the latter.

Also, Fefemz looks quite unhappy with his PRev run, and Chris probably practiced it a fuckload more than Fungah.

>>16548237

>>16548249
I'm not sure what FEFEMZ's PB is, but his average is probably good enough to net him the win.

FEFEMZ screwed this up quite a lot and is 122 EX score below Chris's WR.

>>16548254

SDVX looks lenient as heck.

Is SDVX easy to sightread? These charts look cluttered as fuck. Or is it just the shitty stream resolution?

>>16548463
I don't think most people would sightread it at that speed.

Generally it's not too hard to sightread SDVX except for the gimmicky charts. It's all about recognising patterns like any other rhythm game, just with more input methods.

>>16548463
Depends on the chart, but generally speaking it's possible. Look up Lachryma GRV KAC for some sightread.
Also yes, the resolution/bitrate is awful and it's much easier to read in person.

It's not dishonest to believe that nobody should write proprietary software, as long as I believe that "software freedom" is more important than the ability of people/companies to make money by selling software licenses (the most profitable way of making money from consumer software). If someone believed this, they can say with complete integrity that proprietary software should be banned. I don't know if I believe this, so I don't know if proprietary software should be banned. I never did say that though, only that I wouldn't use proprietary software.

From a consumer perspective, a Free (as in freedom, not beer) Software license is superior in all respects to a proprietary license (ignoring for now the copyleft vs permissive debate). It's true that currently proprietary games are usually better quality than freedomware games, I'm just saying that all else being equal, freedomware is better than proprietary software. As a consumer, I want to encourage Free Software and discourage proprietary software, which is why I won't install proprietary rhythm games.

I should also disclose where I'm being hypocritical. I hope it doesn't weaken my argument too much.
- I play (pirated) proprietary nukige sometimes
- I have a few proprietary games on my computer like EFZ that I might possibly play in the future
Sometimes I worry that I might just believe in Free Software because it's convenient to me (not too much personal disposable income). I guess I'll see when I have independent finances if I'll just stop caring and buy a bunch of proprietary games.

tl;dr: I think that proprietary licenses infringe on my freedom, to be consistent with this I need to avoid proprietary software. My goal isn't to make software unprofitable. It would be great for me if software became more profitable (in business models not requiring restrictive licenses), since it would make it easier for companies to move away from proprietary software.

I passed 8-dan the other day, but I'm still having trouble scoring better than a low A. Is that normal?

>>16559848
Well if your setup isn't completely optimal for timing and especially if you play for clearing then yes.

Only time that I'd be worried was if you were full comboing and getting low As, then it would be definitely your setup that's fucked.

If you are playing the hardest stuff that you can and only getting Bs and As then it is completely fine.

>>16560853
I had it set to AA for awhile when I was really focused on trying to improve score, but I recently switched back to A since I started focusing more on practicing to break into 11's, causing my scoring potential to drop on average from near AA to borderline A.

is lr2 really playable with keyboard or do you have to be masochist in order to actually enjoy this

>>16562889
yes

>>16562909
yes to which question

>>16562889
it's playable with keyboard but it's not fun with keyboard

nothing is desu arcade buttons are so much better

>>16562985
how is it not fun with keyboard, i think that vsrgs are actually easier with kb personally

>>16563016
easier doesn't mean funner

>>16563080
fun is a buzzword

>>16563176
alright how would you rather write a letter

by holding a piece of graphite in your hand or by using a quality pen

the graphite is playing iidx on keyboard and the pen is an asc

>>16563016
It just isn't as fun. The movement is not as varied. The scratch is nothing but two buttons on kb. There is no difficulty in different patterns, as you don't have to learn as many finger "stances".

an example: scratch+1+3 is harder to do on controller than 1+3+5, at least for me, due to the fact you pretty much have to move your right thumb to 3 (if playing 1048 and 1P). On keyboard, it is almost the same as 1+3+5. The only difficulty arises from distinguishing the notes and pressing them on time, unlike with an asc. The extra layer of difficulty, and thus an extra layer of learning and fun, disappears. I'd say that the scratch and how it affects the gameplay is one of the fundamental sources of fun in the game. Without that added element, it would be just like all of the other vsrgs out there.

In addition to that, I think the buttons also play a big part in these types of games. The feel is completely different than on a keyboard. Of course, one could argue that with some types of keyboards, the feel is good too, but there's something about the controller that just feels... better.

Now that's not to say that the game can't be perfectly good fun with a keyboard, it's just that I'd take a controller over keyboard any day,even if it meant I'd be worse in the game. As someone who played lr2 a bit before making my own controller, I can say that the difference is huge. It really is a whole other game.

>>16563203
Writing letters with a quality pen over graphite is better for a different reason than playing with an asc is better than playing with a keyboard.

>>16563509

it's ok, but kinda meh. It doesn't make justice to the way turning knobs actually feels.
You should absolutely try it, though. And while you're at it, you might want to try LR2 with a keyboard, as I feel it translates to kb play better. Not to say that the controller isn't way better for that, too, as it totally is.
But I think both are at least good to try if you have no access to a controller.

Dude, I don't know, I've only played on my self-built controller.
However, I've heard is that it's good.
Good upgrades that are worth it are IMO
-Omron switches, buy from sanwadenshi's rakuten store since they're cheaper there
-Better encoders than the cheapest ones. I use chinese 600 ppr ones in my diy controller and they're solid af. However, these aren't plug and play with the svse5, instead, you'd have to get copals from dj dao.

Also, if you have the time and access to woodworking tools, you might think about making your own controller. It really is not hard and it's quite fun, actually. Though with a svse5 it might not be that big of a saving, as my materials and tools alone cost about 100-120 €.

Well, actually those are pretty spot on for hole sizes. If you check this (chinese button) diagram, you can see that the only measurements fitting those rectangles in the previous picture are the button holes. The buttons won't fit wholly in those 29X46mm rectangles, but the parts that go inside the hole fit like a glove, as they're approximately 28.2X45.1mm rectangles. And seeing as sanwas pretty much have those same dimensions, that same point is true for them, too.
Key spacings (the space between the key's outer black areas) won't be that full 12mm shown in the diagram, which you can easily measure from any DAO controller or arcade. Instead, it's closer to 7-9 mm, which is pretty much what it would be if you assume those holes are the button holes (12mm-(33mm-29mm)).

Are there actually maimai machine outside of asia?

>>16567411
If you want a slightly more arcade-like home experience and also have access to sows(or somewhere else you can get data with), you might try a dual-mouse setup with whichever SDVX game, with left mouse horizontal movement controlling left laser and right controlling right, and m1+m2+mwheel for white and FX(or other buttons if you have them on your mouse). It kind of works, it's both more intuitive than using one mouse and a closer arcade feel than using pure keyboard in KSM. Unless you have high quality mice, though, you might suffer from a minor lack of accuracy a bit. I wouldn't expect to do 14+ lasers exceptionally well, but each play style has it's ups and downs, I guess.

Side note: To do slams, you've gotta move the mouse in the opposite direction then the direction of the slam first. Kind of confusing at first.

the second one mostly. iidx dp is impossibly hard (the top rankers at kac couldnt even assisted easy clear quell dpa)

in ddr i notice a lot of double players who are total casuals and get Cs though

Really curious about it. I know nothing about them besides the stuff I hear on the games.

Ryu, since his songs are all of the ones that are memes outside of music games. Second Heaven, AGEHA, bloomin' feeling, Sakura Reflection. However, maybe NAOKI because of DDR in general and RED ZONE as well.

yeah its kind of sad, i feel like for its first appearance at kac people weren't too impressed with dp seeing low combos and comparatively weak scoring

and on top of that, despite quell being the hardest chart on AC, it doesn't look like it at all to someone who's never played dp before

they really shouldve picked something like quantum teleportation or almagest

They go to see these impossibly expensive, impossibly powerful vehicles pull heavier and heavier loads until they meet their limitations and fail spectacularly.

It's intriguing to see something so mighty and seemingly invincible be brought down. Likewise, it's interesting to see all these great IIDX players be put in their place by a level of play even higher still.

Scoring is a fucking nightmare on DP, especially if you're playing without warmups which is what all the top rankers had to do. Imagine your first set of the day opening with Long Train Runnin' (highest number of scratches in the franchise), Quell (arguably one of the hardest songs in the game and has an extremely low clear rate), and Jomanda (nasty BPM changes). All three are obscenely hard to clear and even tougher to score on.

;)?

Damn, there's always at the least 2-6 people playing when i go

Then again i never went in the morning/early afternoon during the week, which is probably better

So, does anybody here have an idea on how to change DPemu's avatar?

Can't find the info anywhere (I only have GodTool, but it doesn't work for the avatar)

When you say private, you know you have to be a part of private communities to be able to access those servers, right?

So, uh, asking if there are private servers is kind of redundant, don't you think? Since you'd have to be a member to be able to use it anyway.

But the only one I know of, aside from Ainsun as another anon said, is Programmed Sun(via bemanisows).

Depends on where you are and what time/day it is. I live in Colorado, and our R1 is new enough that there isn't really a community built up yet, so whenever I head down I can pretty much monopolize a machine for the night. In places like California, where there are a lot of players, I've had to wait for multiple credits before I could get a game in. I would expect it to be busier on weekends and nights, and slower during weekdays (and empty during maint, not that you'd want to play then either.)

pretty sure I have a friend that lives like a mile from that round 1, and he has no interest in rhythm gaming.. meanwhile the closest machine to me is a beat up iidx happy sky like a 4 hour drive away ;_;

Same, i have a friend who lives in mass who once was like
"oh, round 1? that's an arcade like 5 minutes from my house, i've been there once i think"

meanwhile the closest iidx cab is 400 miles away from me, fucking why
