What are some easy 14s in sdvx? I've cleared dreamin', dustboxxxx and albida powerless from booth, but most of the 14s seem to be way over my reach.
Or is there some sort of ranking, like there is for 15s/16s?

Playing at home is paying off. I went from not being able to pass 3s to passing two 4s in IIDX. On the other hand, home Pop'n is pretty pathetic where difficulty is concerned, though I've only played the first so far.

From the looks of it, body paint, then some spandex triangles knotted together with red stitched accents.

Some thick cloth or possibly black leather used for the collar, then a hairband. Add themed thigh-highs.

I'm trying to increase my hi-speed in iidx. For a long time I've been comfortable with wn 80 gn 350. But I'm trying to get closer to 300gn, as I lower my green number I notice I get mostly "slows" and then I have to also lower my timing offset to balance out my fast/slows. Is this the correct way to do it? (Currently at -1.5) I feel like I'm able to time notes at the line better, but now I feel like the music and key taps are slightly off sync now.

I originally thought the timing offset was just to counter lag on TV/monitors, but the scroll speed seems to greatly affect how I perceive what that timing offset number should be :\

>>15886712
>But I'm trying to get closer to 300gn, as I lower my green number I notice I get mostly "slows" and then I have to also lower my timing offset to balance out my fast/slows.
Have you maybe considered the fact that you're not good enough or have good enough reaction times to lower your green number.

>I feel like I'm able to time notes at the line better, but now I feel like the music and key taps are slightly off sync now.
Maybe because you're hitting late now.

>I originally thought the timing offset was just to counter lag on TV/monitors
It is.

>but the scroll speed seems to greatly affect how I perceive what that timing offset number should be :\
Your offset should be good no matter what your GN is. If you feel like you have to change your offset when you change your GN, then you don't have your offset set correctly.

>>15886712
you shouldn't use offset to compensate for the fact that you cannot react that quickly

if you get tons of slows with a higher speed mod, you can't react fast enough to play with it so just use a lower one

80 wn is really, really tiny though, i would suggest increasing that (with floating hs of course) before i tried fucking with offset, i personally use 250w/350g

>>15886712
You shouldn't use offset to compensate - if you're hitting the notes "in time" offset will fuck you up.

Personally what I use to fix the "desync" between what my eyes see and what I hear is Hidden+. I'm currently at 285GN 124 WN, and I hit when I see notes cross the top of the lane cover, which is pretty much on time.

I'm shit at IIDX though so this may actually be a really bad habit and a crutch.

If i'm used to pendual HDD how should i set offset when playing copula at R1? is it early/late? approximately how much?

>>15886781
This would entirely depend on your home setup. AC in general is much laggier (requiring more negative offset compared to CS, for example), but your home setup could be even laggier than AC, so who knows.

>>15886781
I usually play stuff like bloomin feeling [h] to test out the offset. If I get more or less the same fast/slows then no adjustment is needed.

Is this good enough?

So I use hi-speed 180 in LR2 right now

Can anyone tell me what that approximately translates too on AC? I want to be able to set it correctly the first time I play in an arcade next month.

>>15887023
I have no idea how LR2 works and don't have it setup, so I'll tell you right now that GN is the number of frames a note spends on the screen multiplied by 10.

Go use fraps or OBS or something to record yourself playing LR2 at 60fps, then go frame by frame through it using MPC or VLC to see how long it takes for a note to hit the line. Multiply this by ten and you have your GN.

>>15887028
Addendum: As a sanity check, this number is probably between 250-400, to give a wide estimate. If it's something like 600 or 150, you fucked up.

>>15886735
So how do I get my offset correct? Should I set it with no hi-speed mod?

>>15887115
Take off your headphones, and play a song you're decent at. You should get the same number of early/fasts as you do with your headphones on. If not, adjust until you do.

Has anyone registered at beatmania.co.nz? I just did. I only came across it to see if there was a place where I could get the keysounded BMS to Flashes. I don't think I have it. From the looks it, neither does this place, but it at least looks like it has some promise of a decent contemporary location for everything BMS related.

Why do I have to play the generally inferior US versions of DDR in order to get the superior licensed music?

Gee, Extreme JP sure is amazing being filled solely with konami originals and shitty remixes of creative commons music that all mostly sound the same, but not including all the god-tier ones such as Max 2's challenge charts or Kind Lady.

Max 2 is the best US mix but holy fuck is it better than so many JP mixes.

All in all, CS DDR is pure garbo. AC is the way to go, atleast then all the good 1st-5th mixes are there.

is there a market for IIDX or DDR marquees? I got one IIDX marquee and 3-4 DDR ones all legit collecting much dust.

I have a couple preIIDX beatmania marquees hanging up around my place

That poor daiuchuu cat

>>15886735
>>15887132
I never play with headphones. Adjusting the timing offset based on fast/slow even on my best song (dazzlin' darlin :D ) gets me to -0.8 timing with my usual 350gn, which ive player at for the last year. My whole point was that as I lower that green number I have to further change my timing number. So this isn't a reliable way for me to find the correct timing number, since for me it seems to fluctuate based on different hi speeds. I wish there was a reliable way to get the correct timing number for my PC/monitor without having to rely on my eye.

So, if it's all based on the machine/monitor shouldn't each arcade have a known timing number that everyone uses?

>>15888767
>So, if it's all based on the machine/monitor shouldn't each arcade have a known timing number that everyone uses?
Only if people were consistent as well. A vast majority of people play early, including DOLCE., probably because this is how machines were synced before offset even became an option. I personally feel like -1.5~-2.0 is appropriate for most official cabinets, but since people generally play early, I see a lot of 0.0 or even stupid things like +4.0 where the notes disappear even before they hit the red line.

>My whole point was that as I lower that green number I have to further change my timing number.
You also might just need some more time to adjust to the fact that the notes are visible for less time instead of moving the visuals around. In the end, playing with a lower green number means having a fast reaction time. How much are you trying to change your green number. I wouldn't recommend more than an interval of 10 (1 frame) at a time.

>slow moving lasers

>>15888767

Anon i made the same change you did several months ago, I went from 350gn to 310, and now i play at 305

You just have to take time to adjust to faster notespeed, you will naturally be getting more slows because the notes are going much faster, 50gn is a lot to change instantly.

Also I play with -0.9 offset comfortably, but that has always been the same. Play with a lower gn for a little while and try to adjust to the notes instead of making the game adjust to how fast you're hitting them

>>15888931
>stupid things like +4.0
I play at +2.5. Not sure if it's because my monitor is laggy or what, but anything closer to 0 and I start hitting 500 slows.

>>15889143
You use + if you're hitting too early. The more laggy your monitor, the more - you should be using. Going too far negative (toward 0 in your case) should make you get a lot of FASTs. Are you ok.

>>15889143
+ gives more slows and - gives more fasts

>>15889155
>>15889167
i might be really confused then, I have it moved whichever way is down in the menu, so it's under the line by 2.5 right now

Used to be 3.3 but I added Hidden+ recently

>>15889177
Down is negative in the menu, so that's fine.

>but I added Hidden+ recently
We now live in a world of offset to accommodate all monitors. Don't do that.

Why IIDX only have three difficult options for each song? All the others games have at least four options.

>>15886010
Is there anyone who can play high level DDR without the bar?

>>15889179
>hidden+

It's hard to explain. When I change the offset with no hidden, it feels like the notes arrive way faster than the music. So if I play something like GAMBOL where it's one note at a time, I tend to hit early, whereas on more difficult songs where I'm more hitting to the music, I get lots of slows. If I adjust the sync one way, I hit on time on more difficult songs but get random fasts.

With hidden the two seem to become more in sync, so the notes reach the line when the audio does rather than way ahead of it.

>>15889245
Beginner, Normal, Hyper, Another, Leggendaria.

>>15889264
>on more difficult songs where I'm more hitting to the music, I get lots of slows
You should never play IIDX by audio unless you're a wizard or you're playing on CS or something. The audio is so delayed on modern AC IIDX that it's not useful to most people.

>If I adjust the sync one way, I hit on time on more difficult songs but get random fasts.
>With hidden the two seem to become more in sync, so the notes reach the line when the audio does rather than way ahead of it.
This has to be placebo. Changing the offset doesn't affect the audio, period. Using Hidden+ in the way you are is just a dumber version of using the offset. Don't.

>>15889264
you should be able to time easy songs perfectly and harder songs will alwYs be a crapshoot. most people get lots of fasts on songs they cant quite handle but that DOES NOT mean you should change your offset.

test timing on easy songs where you know the rhythms, not hard ones

Is there any way to mod the Pop'n minicon to make it better? I won't be able to build a wooden ASC until the winter.

I FC AAA 12s and think 9s are super rad. Even if you're not having difficulty clearing it, you can always work on solidifying your techniques or timing or whatever. Do you refuse to play anything that's not exactly a 10 or 11.

You were right, my offset was incorrect.

I was using -0.8, and it turns out I should be using -2.0. How did I find this number...

I used my phone to capture a super slow 120fps video with both my monitor and dao in the same shot. I recorded myself getting a pgreat on one note, and keep changing the offset and reshooting until the LED on my dao happened on the same frame that the note was on the red line.

I guess I was just comfortable playing early on the same speed setting for years, only after increasing my speed did it expose my offset issue. This explains why songs with slow down sections like era, felt like I had to hit the buttons super early.

Do you think Jubeat could find a way to make a difficulty 11 song or has it reached its absolute difficulty ceiling?

>>15891705
the nature of the game (16 notes on screen at a time) means there's probably a more set-in-stone difficulty cap than most other games

>>15891480
9s are fun don't get me wrong. I play them to test the offset.

Yeah, it sucks. Because of how the newer engine is programmed, instead of having 1 frame of PGREAT, it has 2 frames of PGREAT and no GREAT window at all, so you just get GOODs instead. It's still not normal, but it's not what it used to be.

How long did it take for you to be able to play 6s and above in IIDX?

Do you have prior experience with rhythm games? I had like a decade of experience playing DDR/Stepmania before I got into IIDX so once I got past the initial "where the fuck are my hands" stage I instantly moved up to around level 7/8 where they started throwing chords into everything

>>15894993
I've played DDR casually whenever I had access to an arcade but I'd never really played very advanced rhythm games (with hands) until this one. After a few days with a controller I've been able to start clearing some 4s.

For someone transitioning into IIDX from SDVX/Stepmania/DDR, you should get to 6 in well under a week.

If you're brand new to rhythm games, expect at least a month to pass 6s, and even then you'll probably have shit-tier timing.

I wish some of these controllers weren't so fucking expensive. I'd love to play a lot of these games with an actual controller but I just don't have the money. So instead I just play Osu! and StepMania(pad and kb). At least tablets, pads and mechs are decent prices. Getting a decent price for a quality SDVX or IIDX controller, or pretty much anything else for that matter, is fucking impossible. Most of them run $400+ for one that's any good.

It doesn't need to be AC spec(though it would be nice, but probably exorbitantly expensive), most of the cheapies on that site are still expensive but perhaps I was exaggerating a little. Still, if you throw in omrons/sanwa(and copals for sdvx), plus shipping it's still pretty expensive.

If you know of a better site than that one I'd probably be interested. I haven't found one, though.

>>15896396
shop.virgoo.me is also a good source their shipping costs about $60 though

>>15896897
http://www.gamo2.com/en/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=277

DJ DAO looks like it has it. At least for the SVSE5. The SVRE9 doesn't have the option, but I'm ASSUMING that's because it probably comes with them already. Don't quote me, though.

Obviously it won't be a TC though. Welp. If you really need a TC I guess your only option is to wait for the next batch to come around.

>>15896929
Is TC really that much better than DAO?

>>15897006
I have no idea. I haven't had any of them, I only know what I've heard, which is mostly that people have different opinions. You could try asking on the bemaniso.ws IRC or something, there seems to be a lot of people there that have bought controllers. It's where I've heard most of what I've heard from.

>>15897006
Extra button on the side and (I think) better build quality for the box as far as practical differences go. Either one works though, so just go for whichever one is significantly cheaper. Unless they cost roughly the same after shipping. If that's the case there's no reason not to get the TC+.

>>15896897
I think they said they're working on making the AC set available again, as well as the black editions.

Is there any advantage to having a larger turntable? Seems like there is no reason to buy a Dao PEE/RES instead of a FPS/FP7 other than to have AC accurate measurements.

>>15898058
>Is there any advantage to having a larger turntable

for really heavy scratch songs/if you have big hands, it's a little easier to flick it back and forth faster if the turntable is larger

>>15896280

you can get a uskoc for like 50 bucks

I have a USKOC, but ever since I found out there was a Round 1 near me I've been going there twice a week. Playing on an actual IIDX cabinet is starting to make me feel like my USKOC is a piece of shit, so I've been thinking about getting an FP7 since they have them in the Gamo2 US storehouse. How are the default switches? I was thinking of getting the default setup for now and ordering Omrons from Rakuten later.

>>15898610
you need to order it with omrons

you don't need sanwas though

>>15896280
You can build a cardboard IIDX controller for $50. Just buy some arcade buttons from Chyna and stick them into a shoe box.

>>15899520
to be fair if you have no idea what you're doing the connections will begin to oxidize and fail and one out of every 50 notes you hit will randomly not register

also your turntable will occasionally spazz the fuck out

Hands were sweating when I made the original connections.

And since I didn't know what I was doing my original connections are stranded 30ga wire haphazardly jammed into an old breadboard with no way to keep the wires inside of it

I'm currently in the process of redoing everything with 22ga solid-core wire, but since I still don't have a soldering iron I'm now using empty pen tubes (for strain relief) and binder clips to make sure the wires don't fall out

wish me luck

>>15901859
Good thing you only spent 50$ on it, so there was no great waste in the end.

>>15901862
actually i've dumped like over 130 into this thing now

the new wires/connections make up 5, the rest was chink buttons and acrylic and arduino

I might actually upgrade the switches too, because if I ever go to an actual controller I can just port the switches over

>>15894277
Source?

>>15901866
Dude, just get a soldering iron. One that you can work with should be no more than maybe 10$, 20$ if you want one that's not a terrible hassle to use.
Btw, what did you use for the turntable? rotary encoder or the sort of light-gate stuff that daos and most others have? I'm thinking of building an iidx controller (already built one for sdvx), and I'm wondering if I could just slap a cheap rotary encoder to it and call it a day.

>>15901878
A single 1-dollar (free shipping) 20ppr rotary encoder from ebay.

Strangely enough it actually does 80ppr with whatever fucking arduino code I've stolen.

It works fine for scratching and selecting songs, although it'll spazz out if you go too fast (which actually might be related to the arduino not polling fast enough, idk) and I can't seem to hit scratch streams with it, although that's probably just me being shit at scratching.

You shouldn't poll it, but use the interrupt pins in the arduino to detect the signals. That way you don't miss any.
Unless the code actually does that already, and it's just being retarded because of some other reason.

Got an Infinitas controller the other month and I've been playing with it for a while.
Just the other day, I finally slapped in some Sanwas and Omrons, as well as changed the springs out (50g switches, 60g springs) and it's made a world of difference.
While Sanwas don't really add much apart from looking pretty and feeling nice, good springs and switches really are a must for any decent controller.
Just found out someone wrote a program to convert the turntable input into keystrokes (LR2 doesn't work with analog controllers) so I'm pretty much golden for home IIDX. Then I can just play at the arcade for fun/measure skill officially.

Does anyone know how you go about pointing GLAssist to your LR2 directory?

It has good music if you like Vocaloid obviously, it has the best music. the console releases have underwhelmingly simple charts, but upper level Future Tone songs are legitimately challenging, although more of the difficulty comes from how hard it is to read whereas it's not technically as hard as iidx, as a plain vsrg it wouldn't be as hard.

Has there ever been an English arcade release of a IIDX game? I know that some games have English language options, even if they're only released in Asia.

>>15909573

>>15912432
Not that difficult. I got to level 43s in less than a week (with beatpop) as a player that cleared 10dan a month prior. I did play on minicon's in the past, but they don't count.

>>15912449

I'm only 7th dan, but it shouldn't be that much harder for me. Guess I'll give it a shot next time I'm at Round 1. Just have to get used to the buttons.

>>15912520
You might have to get used to moving your hands around more, but I don't think Pop'n gets quite as dense as IIDX does, so the reading should be a bit easier.

>>15912570
It gets quite dense at 46s and above

>>15912620
It never seemed as bad to me... but then I'm probably arguably an 11th dan player in IIDX and probably only a 38 or 39 in Pop'n. I wouldn't know very well how it gets after that.

How high does pop'n go anyway? 50 or something? Or is there no imposed limit?

>>15912657

50 which is some real batshit crazy stuff. even mid 40s are pretty god damn insane.

>talking with people who started rhythm games after 2009

>>15912884
To be fair DDR needs a little bit of dedication. Gotta keep playing to keep your muscles in shape to do higher level shit.

Any rhythm game, though, if you don't play it long enough, can take time to get back into properly. Try playing a couple hours a day every other day and challenge yourself a bit, you should get back into the groove before you know it.

>>15911699

I'm leaning towards the latter.

Forgot to mention, songs with more than 1537 (I think) notes get a really tough lifebar. Takes something like 50-60 combos to get a block while it decreases the same rate as normal.

Does anyone know how tough 5mm plexiglas/acrylic sheet is? I've been thinking of replacing my sdvx controller's MDF top panel with one made of plexiglass, since I finally have access to a laser cutter and acrylic doesn't really need any surface treatment. I'd probably use 5mm acrylic for the top panel, with a 2mm or 3mm sheet on top to hold my pretty anime decals in place. Do you think this would work?

I actually think every level starting with 9 is it's own wall.

>>15920074
Starmine another is so fun tho

>>15919591
For me it was hard 9s and 10s in general
However I have a good amount of rhythm game experience so I blew thru all the previous difficulties

what are you talking about?

That footage is not synchronized. The hand camera is late by a couple frames, making it look slightly more on time. AC lag is even worse than you think.

>>15920183

>not having a phone

What a loser!

I don't either

>>15920206
So purchase the card from the site, you need to verify a mobile phone number.

Probably 9s or 10s. I know a chuuden who got stuck at the 10 wall for like half a year.

Where would I find a video of somebody clearing fffff ex in pop'n that wasn't recorded on a potato?

Which game is more autism? OSU or beatmania? I will only play 4Keys.

Who the fuck is Grace?

>>15922192
Beatmania isn't 4 keys. Get DJMax.

>>15922209
A slut

>>15922221
Fuck. I meant Stepmania.

>>15922226
On a keyboard is dumb for Stepmania but that's better than Osu.

>>15922192
Stepmania is og classic autism while osu is anime autism

>>15922232
I never seen anyone playing stepmania on anything but keyboards...
>>15922233
I am anime autist myself, should i pick OSU then?

>>15922239
Osu doesn't have a lot of good 4k charts so I would still go with stepmania

>>15922239
stepmania has much higher chart quality and youll still be able to find your gay weeaboo music in packs

9th style cs is TERRIBLE holy shit the only good song on the disc is macho gang

>>15922366
What are you talking about?

>>15922501

>>15922366

>>15922552
Is iidx even viable for ps2? I only have a standard gamepad.

>>15922604
not with a gamepad except for maybe 5k mode with autoscratch but then why bother

>>15922593
your opinions are really bad

>>15922608

A cute or a slut depends on who you ask.

She's Rasis's prototype, but forgotten and then corrupted by bugs hence the evil and demented look.

As of the latest episode she is reborn into a loli.

Do u guys spank the TT for single scratches
I noticed I did that recently

>Tfw a knob just flies off mid-song
That new top plate and knob assembly can't be built too soon

>>15922628
I started with 5 since my copy of that came in first and it's absolutely amazing though I prefer 8 right now simply because of the larger list of songs I'm capable of playing right now.

>>15923021
mine broke during the 9 or 10dan course, didn't fly but it snapped in half

Slowking here. I see itg's been quaded. How many ddr songs still have to reach the single digit perfect range?

>>15923548
i don't think the 19s have been pfced yet

>>15923433
You.. you snapped a solid aluminium knob? In half? With your bare hands?
I'd be terrified to shake hands with you.
Or do you mean a shaft or the top plate? We're talking about sdvx here, right?

>>15923557
iamchris4life is 2g away on Egoism.
The rest aren't anywhere near it.

>>15894923
Legit took me more than 6 months

>>15894923
technically four years because i played the game once in 2012 and started playing again every month or so at a round 1 early this year, then i bought a virgoo controller about 2 months ago

i didnt comfortably pass 6s until i had a controller

>>15923660
I meant the encoder oops

Do 100g springs for sanwa IIDX buttons work with the DJ Dao buttons?

so do I need a jap ps2 to play this junk? Been playing some osumania got up to 4dan or whatever, thinking of trying it with a controller now. Does it matter if its a jp or NA controller? the last console I owned was an n64 so im an idiot.

>>15924123
>so do I need a jap ps2 to play
no it'll run on an american ps2 if you get a free mcboot memory card and burn an iso

controllers aren't regionlocked

>>15924132
hm thanks friend, seems a little technical maybe ill wait a bit. would one of those ps2 to USB pc adapters work with one of the controllers?

ie. could I configure it with some software like joy2key to at least try it out on pc.

>>15922656
Both of them are sluts that probably have a sexbot switch hidden somewhere.

>>15924147
You mean for using the controller on pc?
It works but uts not the best, I have 2 convertors and they were both wonky in their own ways when using my uskoc
