That person behind you literally doesn't care. They're just waiting for their turn to play, and it doesn't matter if you're playing 1s or 12s. Everyone knows when they go to the arcade they're probably going to have to wait at some point, just relax and have fun

How do you know where your hands are on the keyboard on keyboardmania? The keyboard I'm using has an extra octave on both sides and my hands just get lost if I'm not looking directly at the keys.

Feels like I gotta look up piano lessons before getting into this.
>>
>>16830235
I've played on AC only a few times and it's certainly uncomfortably low if you're at least 6 feet.

Next time I play AC I'll learn to powerstance.

You're right - learn to play the piano and it kind of automatically happens, but even without knowing that you'll eventually get a sort of feel for "home position"

>kiosk

you mean cab?

and for dance games, absolutely. for touchscreen games too, and shit like jubeat or danevo, its the best way to experience them. but for iidx or popn, etc. button games, you can just buy an asc and wall mount a tv and have much more money left over afterwards.
>>
>>16835185

I just do what I feel like doing. Sometimes IIDX is fun. Sometimes I'd rather spend my time playing a different game. I'd definitely be better if I just concentrated on one game, but grinding skills isn't necessarily the same thing as having a good time. I'm not always motivated to be better, but I am always motivated to be having a good time.

Struggling with a breaking a wall in IIDX. I think it might be my hand placement, should I keep pushing with it or should I switch to 1048? I currently have my hand set up like this.

Player 1 Side
1:Ring finger 2:Middle Finger 3:Left Thumb 4:Right Index 5:Right Thumb 6:Middle 7:Pinky
>>
Out of curiosity how bad is Osu! compared to every other rhythm game? Does it have something to do with the timing?
>>
>>16835606
Looks awkward

Learn 1048 ahyways. Knowijg several techniques and positions always helps. Your hand pretty much needs 5o move around at high level. Having static hands limits you
>>
>Use Vega as lane cover
>WN is pretty low so all I see is his dick

Damn...
>>
>>16835606
Your left hand is at a rather unconventional placement.

I'd recommend switching to a (321) on (123) or just 1048, which is (132) on keys (123)
>>
>>16835606

don't listen to these clowns, your hand placement seems fine, what wall is it? You might have to just keep working at it

1048 is for bms fags and wrist scratchers

>Ex Score only 1 point above best

So this.... is what they call.... diminishing returns....
>>
>>16835917
-timing is variable and bad
-the base gamemode scoring is fucking retarded with 100% emphasis on conbo and none on timing
-the only game actually designed to give you rsi
-only 1 channel (think like how many buttons you can press), so the gameplay soon becomes something where every map is 16th or 8th jumps actoss the screen
-every gamemode is a ripoff off other games
Also the community is cancer, but that isn't strictly the fault of the game.

>>
>>16835606

your setup is great for songs with even amounts of scratching and notes. playing 1048 won't magically make you good and it will take alot of time to be as good at 1048 as you are now anyway. it'll only really help on super dense songs with few scratches. it's good to know how to do it so you can have multiple playstyles available to you but it's not like, the one true playstyle people make it out to be.

>iidx has walls on walls

>>16840228
Starting at around 9 every single difficulty is a wall in itself and each contains multiple walls within. It only gets worse as you go higher.

Difficulty ranges in IIDX are roughly exponential and probably best described by the function 1.5^(level).

iidx really isnt superbly hard, it just seems like it to an outsider. its just the fact that your time in iidx translates so much better to ingame results compared to other games like mobas or shooters

iidx is hard yeah, bit it's hard to feel great when you know the game isnt much about thought and more about building up your subconcious on how to deal with the patterns in the game
>>
>>16844439
it takes anywhere from several months to a few years of dedicated, regular practice to get good enough at iidx to play 10s. that makes it difficult. you're dealing with upwards of 1,000 precise inputs in a span of ~120 seconds.

IIDX/Beatmania in general needs to die.

It is FAR from the deepest or most challenging rhythm game out there.

It's reputation and existence is only maintained by bemani-tards who can't let go of nostalgia and bad ideas.

It doesn't mimic an actual instrument or dance. Hell, Sound Voltex does a better job of emulating a "DJ booth" these days.
Its all memorization, no skill. The gameplay isn't really challenging in any meaningful ways. There are no techniques, no gimmicks, no gradual rise in abilities overall, It's "Run at this wall and jump. Keep jumping until you get over it. Repeat." You'll have 9th Dans failing 8's, saying "Oh, well, nobody plays that song competitively, so I wasn't familiar with it." and can't even tell you why they're not good at that song, besides, basically, that they don't have it memorized.
The music selection is dated, and caters to the nostalgic and weeb.
Konami has still, yet, to introduce anything meaningful to the game with Shinobuz. It's been a stagnant series since Empress, basically.
When your "community" has to make jokes about "haha, power stance" because the manufacturer still refuses to acknowledge that there are groups outside of Japan who enjoy the game, it's time to realize that they don't care about you anymore, and you shouldn't care about them either.

>>
>>16847053
The only way to delete game data off a card is to buy a new one and transfer your data to the new card, which will also transfer any other data you have on it.
You can change your name, but you need a subscription to do that.
>>
>>16847190
fuck that sucks.
subscription method? like monthly? what if i subscribe only to change my name, remove it, and never pay again? would i still be forced to pay?
>>
>>16847263
Monthly subscription for ¥342 a month. I believe you can just get one month of it, but you need to pay in Paseli, and if you're not in Japan you have to buy Paseli with Bitcash prepaid cards.
If you play on arcade machines a lot, it might just be worth it to get the subscription permanently since there's a bunch of features you can only use with one.

>>
>>16847479

well you're going to have to buy a bitcash card (you're not in Japan right?) and that will buy you way more paseli than you need anyway even if you only get it for $20 so you're going to have paseli left over to cover more than just one month anyway no matter what. the monthly thing is mostly because people in Japan will just put down their CC rather than buy prepaid cards like us outside of Japan have to
>>
>>16847778
You can also use Paseli to pay for credits for games, can't you? He could use it that way too, couldn't he?

>>16845620
Where do I even start with you, anon.

>It doesn't mimic an actual instrument or dance
It has to? It's a game, it can take whatever form it wishes.

>Its all memorization, no skill
All rhythm games benefit from memorization, not just IIDX; no, sight reading is actually a more prominent and important skill to have for IIDX. Unless the chart is randomized/generated, and randomized/generated charts are usually shit and noone wants to play them.

>The gameplay isn't really challenging in any meaningful ways
What's challenge to you? If you're talking about accuracy and density, IIDX objectively has plenty of it. So is challenge based on gimmicks, then? Something that is almost entirely based on memorization, something you've been attacking from the start?

>There are no techniques
Go take a look how many different hand styles there are for IIDX. Being able to do a variety of types of scratching requires good technique. You demonstrate your lack of IIDX experience by not knowing this.

>no gimmicks
Excessive gimmicks are bad. They're artificial difficulty and mostly based on memorization. Literally the "run at this wall and jump" part that you're going on about. Sometimes gimmicks are fine--such as DDR boss songs. But in those cases, the player knows what they're getting themselves into. Inserting them randomly into random songs is bad.

>no gradual rise in abilities overall
Again, what defines difficulty. IIDX has notes like every rhythm game. As things get denser, players will struggle more to read them and as a result of that struggle and practice they improve. Hence gradual improvement?

>You'll have 9th Dans failing 8's
Utterly baseless and untrue. If people are actually failing those songs it's because they're doing something they're not very good at, or they can't sightread it, at which case they're simply too bad at the game to do it normally and are trying to brute force it.

>The music selection is dated, and caters to the nostalgic and weeb
More baseless slander. Most of the songs are pretty good nowadays. If you don't like them, then that's just, like, your opinion, man. As far as the weeb shit goes, you have it here and there. But IIDX has a shadow of it compared to other Bemani games.

As for the last part, Konami is pretty much a somewhat stagnant company that doesn't care about foreigners, yes. But that's their prerogative.

Well said, but really, all you needed to post was:
>It's a game, [...]

People take these games to an extreme level, because we have a desire as humans to get as good at something as we can, but at the end of the day, you can have as much fun playing 6s as you can 12s. Its all about the mindset. Its just a game, its meant to be fun. If you take it too far, thats on you --
and if you're getting as upset as the dude you quoted was, yea, you've taken it to far.
>>
>>16848198
I'm not upset. I have the same mentality you do about rhythm games. I just don't like seeing people talking shit about something when it's obvious they don't know anything about it and are just talking out of their ass. Rhythm game communities have a regular habit of getting posters of this caliber and it's toxic to their communities, so I get the urge to correct someone whenever they post dumb shit like that.
>>
>>16848071

>>16844920
With DDR, I always lose track of my feet and trip myself.

>>16845175
It's my favorite in the arcade, personally, but it's a different experience from other games.

First of all, it is more aesthetically divergent than other games, with each song having a custom "coaster" and 3d imagery. This also means that you often have a very short period before you see the next beat, as your avatar might literally make a turn on the coaster in 3d space. I also think it has the best visuals by far, though.

Second, you have two buttons. That's it. You tap them for a beat, hold for a hold, and move them for a directional beat. This means that messing up once makes it very easy to fail a chain of beats, since the "rest" period of each button seems to be longer than the time between each press for harder tracks.

It's a strange mix, but I love it.

The mobile version is the best rhythm game for mobile IMHO, and it's songs are fully-featured counterparts of Groove Coaster 2 (arcades are now on 3). It's still an inferior experience, though.
>>
>>16850172
>not coordinated enough to play ddr, museca, pjd, etc

how do you even live?
>>
>>16850182
Your question is pretty valid.

My hand writing is so poor that I have to use graph paper for proper spacing.
When soldering, I often have to use an instrument to hold the materials in place, rather than using my hands.
My Chinese characters are more legible than my kana or alphabet letters since I have trouble drawing curves.
It takes me longer to use Swype than a normal cell phone keyboard interface.
My typing style on a manual keyboard involves three fingers on my right hand and one on my left. My left index finger often reaches the "U" key.
The only sport I could perform well in was the 2 mile in track. I spent four years playing football/soccer and never made a goal in a game.
When I used to swim, I often got caught on myself unless I used a one piece suit, and swam headfirst into the pool walls more than once.
I have gotten my legs caught in the chains of my bike more than once.
I frequently clip walls with my shoulder when walking down a hallway.
I put a few thousand hours into TF2 and still had trouble aiming the medigun.

To play Groove Coaster, I have to use my whole hand. Therefore my arms are sore for days after playing, even with consistent use.

Having some trouble with keyboard stepmania. Pardon me for not knowing the proper terms and lingo. My question is how do I get better at hitting jumps in the middle of fast lines of other notes. (Jumpstream?)

I'm at this point where most hard pad songs are too easy but damn near every keyboard song is impossible to get through. I usually just turn off jumps, but then the songs end up being too easy and unsatisfying to play.

Sorry if I sound like an idiot.

>>16848563
This is how I look at it. I can debunk his post, even if it's responding to bait, and it keeps the community in good condition because anyone who's been keeping up on posts will be able to tell he's full of it, if they weren't already.

Were I to refrain from doing so, someone less knowledgable and/or more emotionally charged to respond may be tempted to do so, which is a road that typically sparks more drama. Since I'm generally in a position to be able to do so without causing more problems, it helps those new and/or unstable enough to take him seriously to understand that he's pretty much full of it by flouting the copious flaws in their posts.

>>16849449

Play keyboard songs. It sounds like, by now, you're used to streaming but you're not very good at jumps/hands/quads yet because you haven't done them very much. Get some keyboard packs, find a good level of difficulty within the packs and practice away. Low level keyboard packs are likely to contain a lot more jumps/hands/quads while high level pads are often prone to streaming.


Try this for getting some packs:

>>16853635
Thanks, I'll keep looking for more kb songs to practice on.

On a seperate note, do you or anyone else here have a recommendation on a controller for stepmania? I don't trust myself not to break my expensive keyboard and the keys I use for stepmania feel a little off compared to the rest already.
I guess I do have an arcade stick for street fighter which might do the job, but I don't know how comfortable it would be to have both hands on one side of the stick.

>>16853514
>>16853667

it can be kind of difficult to get into playing keyboard charts if you have no idea where to start, so for some easy-ish keyboard packs, i'd suggest:

Stepping Stones 1-3 (the easiest end of keyboard charts)
Dark Chancellors
ODIpack 1-3
Community Keyboard Megapack 1-4 (really old but a good starting point)
FFR Community Packs
Otaku's Dream packs in general. anime mixes 5-9 are alright, keyboard mixes 1-2 are pretty good. you'll see the keyboard mixes labeled as "otaku's dream mix X" on stepmaniaonline.

all of these can be found on the page >>16853635 linked. if you're looking to get good at jumpstream, being able to play the Nuclear Blast JS packs would be a good goal to set.

as far as a controller goes, no one really uses a dedicated controller for stepmania. my only suggestion if you're that worried about breaking your keyboard is to just use a different keyboard you don't care much about or buy a cheap one.
>>
>>16853667
If you're playing with a keyboard? Honestly just do that. Get a mechanical sooner or later when you get good enough for it to matter. Seriously, a controller is only going to hold you back. Don't use one.

Also, if you aren't doing it already, use spread: 2 fingers on each hand, index and middle, spread out over the keyboard. Ex: as kl

I've never understood this thing where people apparently only enjoy charts within a very small difficulty range. Unless you already have a literally perfect score, there is still plenty of work to be done on easier things. Take it as an opportunity to work on timing and solidify technique. On the final stage, play something hard that you've wanted to play since there is no risk of losing your credit.

O!M got me started with rhythm games, and eventually I ended up downloading LR2, to see if it would make me a better player.
Ended up getting hooked on it, bought a controller and never looked back.
Getting used to a proper rhythm game after playing O!M is tough though. The very forgiving timing teaches you to spam. If you can clear 7s in LR2, you can probably clear the equivalent of 10s or 11s in O!M just by spamming as hard as you can whenever the chart gets too dense for you to keep up.

How in the fuck are you supposed to play Guitar Freaks? You can't switch frets and strum at the same time because if you strum .01 seconds before the fret changes you just miss the note. Are you really just supposed to switch frets immediately after the previous note? That feels so fucking awkward.

As much as I hate to say it, Guitar Hero did it better.

You're part of the problem. Not realizing defending or debunking is equally as toxic. It doesn't hold the community together because hey look, osu! exists. It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it. It's all the same. Mostly I don't disagree with what you said but acting like some rhythm game savior and defender was just sad. You replaced one asshole with yourself. What a win for the community. Community what doesn't want to be one to begin with. Why do you think there are so many inactive users across all these sites. All they're doing is trying to gather information, get games or into secret clubs and once they have it all if everything works you won't see or hear from them again for years or ever.
Look around. Go to your club, look how many members there are and then those who're active. With recent changes it's easy to see how many crawl out of the shadows to beg and back they go. There's active minority around most of these so called communities. Many who've met irl in some way. That's all, that's your community what needs defending from all the toxic shit 99% of the lurkers will never see or care about.
This has been going on for more than ten years and it has never grown out of its infancy and never will. You can't go public. Can't share anything or do anything to build a proper public facing community. Don't act as if there's some massive underground party going on. There isn't and don't treat people like idiots. Everyone was new to this once and what, they desperately needed all this debunking to ensure they aren't being played? They're also such morons they can't look into other sources, figure out how to scroll down, hit that update button or wait for other opinions or, better still type to ask questions themselves, get a lot of dumb responses and a few useful ones.
As if this isn't enough. We have new stupid groups popping up at every corner. One more toxic than the other. Segregating what's left even more with idiotic promises and attitude. Inevitably causing even more restrictions. gg

Totally agree, this asshole thought he was being some hero of rhythm games, "properly" correcting all that 'terrible misinformation' when in reality he was just perpetuating his smug elitism about iidx

When you have people that respond that way to the most obvious bait it's not surprising at all the state the community is in

Good choice, because they didn't really say anything.

What do you do when you've attempted a dan course so many times that it now just auto-tilts you and you miss a million notes even in the easy opening songs
>>
>>16860069

Only reason I'm a 9th Dan is because they got rid of Holic. Some plays I would fail right there on the first song depending on how I did on those garbage nonsensical dumps right there at the end.

I hate life. I'll never be good at the game.

bring the knowledge to not bring your feet back to the center of the pad after each note

ddr cabs need to have a fucking sign that says that
>>
>>16860097

I know I'm biased as fuck and haven't been a noob DDR player in like 15 years, but I cannot possibly imagine the logic behind doing that.
I mean, most people have at least seen someone halfway good at the game, right?
Surely they can see that they aren't doing that and put 2 and 2 together to surmise that they shouldn't be doing it either.

>>16860109
I don't imagine most first-time DDR players have ever looked at or cared about good players' technique at all

also, an important thing to note is that the tutorial literally depicts standing in the center the whole time, so there's that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRa0n1MBqGY
>>
>>16860111

No worse than a gap that's a 7 or 8 on Hyper and a 12 on Another. Just a "fuck you" to everyone involved. Especially if you really really like that song.

"Sorry, little Timmy, you're going to have to play on 'trivially easy' until you can play on 'soul crushingly impossible'"
>>
>>16860119
>can't have fun playing 8s

look at captain autism over here
>>
>>16860119
yeah it's pretty lame

I wouldn't say 8s are trivially easy (even good players can be challenged with something like an 8 on SRAN) but there are a lot of great songs with gaps like 5 - 10 or 6 - 11 and it makes me mad
>>
>>16860131

You wanna hear the autistic part? I like having my favorite songs be a challenge, but not out of reach entirely. I like to imagine I'm playing "for the song" and if I fail the song, the song itself dies, like a buddy I'm trying to carry out of 'Nam.

The thrill of the thought of "God dammit, please, I gotta do this for [song name]. We're going to live!" nearing the end of the song and while balancing right on the edge of passing and failing is such a large part of the fun of the game for me.

There would be no thrill if it were a 13.2 or something. Maybe a 12.1 but even still there's a 98% chance I'd fail.

Oh, c'mon. A deep, emotional connection to music isn't THAT autistic. And it hurts more to fail your favorite songs, does it not? So the opposite must be true as well.

Don't worry anon
I liked your story
>>
>>16860113
They finally changed the tutorial in A, it explicitly tells you to not go back to the center now.
Every time I see someone watch the tutorial, they proceed to do it anyway.
>>
I've been playing iidx for 3 months now, and I've recently been grinding the shit out of my favorite songs to AA them. I can actually get the AA for most of the 7s and a couple 8s, but only after playing the same song for an hour or so. It's impossible for me to get anything better then an A on 9s. Should I give up on improving my shit timing, and just go get better at harder 9s and break into 10s?
>>
>>16861988
I've been playing for 1.5 years and I still can't A 9s or even pass the majority of them

brb killing myself
>>
>>16861988
>>16862042
Having godly timing is a genetic thing.
Be satisfied with getting As on your current difficult level.

Anything above that you gotta win the genetic lottery.
>>
>>16861988

You'll naturally do better on songs once you progress more.
Maybe work on some easy 10s and break into those harder charts, after playing those and going back to 8s they'll be easier

>>16861988

where you're at now is fine and you won't be able to do much better until your skills in general improve, so yes, focusing on clearing new stuff right now is your best bet. once your skills have improved and you're comfortable clearing stuff you can't clear now, go back to trying to get high scores and you'll find you've advanced in that regard as well.
>>
>>16860195
I do the same thing except less with imagination and more feeling the music I'm playing. Especially for things like Touhou music where I have a good grasp of the characters and story. I feel like I'm fighting them, or that I'm them fighting the protagonist, it gets a bit muddled at times since it's mostly emotional-based, broad, non-specific type of understanding, if anyone gets what I mean. Almost like the music is causing me to emulate the character or something.

It's certainly an interesting thing to do. The different emotional states it tends to invoke can sometimes have positive effects on my gameplay, giving me motivation or increasing my concentration; things of that nature.

Touhou is hardly the only thing I do it with, though. Really any song that feels like it has a theme to it, and especially ones with emotional undertones, I have a tendency to do it with. It's a fun way to play and is a great way to appreciate the music. There's a lot of beauty behind music if you grasp it this way.

In the whole history of man, all the people of Earth are truly one.

welp I'm coming up on a year and I'm still stuck squarely at the 9 wall, time to kill myself
>>
>>16864466
there is no 9 wall, seriously

unless you are only playing misrated charts like starlight dancehall [h] and DPS [a], they're the same as harder 8s
>>
>>16864475
haha, you say that

but it took me around 3 months to get to 8s and I've spent nearly 3 times that amount of time unable to pass more than 3 9s

granted, I had to stop playing as much because of school, but wtf there is definitely a 9 wall. For one, 9s start putting chords in the middle of 16th note streams (my biggest issue rn), and having 4-note chords in chord songs, neither of which really happen much in 8s.
>>
>>16864492
fast 16ths and big chords are purely introductory in 9s, they have light sprinklings of them. thats basically all that there is to 10s (there's like an entire genre of 10s that are just "the hyper chart but we added one or two notes to every chord" like sweet clapper, mermaid girl, light shine, dazzlin darlin)

once you learn how to read and make your hands do 3/4key chords consistently, you'll rocket through 10s.

obviously everything is anecdotal, there's no definitive/scientific basis for iidx skill, but i smoothly transitioned from 7s to 8s to 9s with a slight hiccup at 10s. i was exhcing 9s before ncing 10s
>>
>>16860119
Just get good and play the 12 : D
>>
>>16864505
it's not chord songs that are the problem

literally it's putting even 2-note chords in the middle of streams

like the entirety of broken [h]

I honestly cannot read that shit
>>
>>16865336
but those chords are just 5+7. hitting 5 and 7 is barely different than hitting 5 or 7 alone, you just slap/use two fingers.

maybe your GN is too high/low if you can't read it.

also why are you confusing being bad at one thing with being bad at all 9s? its not that common. just play some other 9s. some fun ones:

angelic jelly
love shine
night sky
rave it rave it
vega
invitation from mr. c
>>
>>16865342
no it's just the actual presence of any chords in the middle of fast streams makes me unable to read it

like my brain gets confused as to which notes are supposed to be played at the same time and which aren't

i'm using 400 WN/300 GN so that's not that slow, i dunno

I love angelic jelly but it's also really hard
>>
>>16865397
I was that way for a long time too. You get used to it, but it'll take time. 'Til then just keep playing/grinding away.
>>
Why does Captivate Joker have sucn a high clear rate and is called "barely an 11"? Those chords are pretty awkward to hit and there aren't many songs like it for me to practice.

I've technically cleared harder 11s according to ratings hut I can't even get to 80% on joker. Also, apparently I'm having a serious problem with quick scales and I don't know how I'm messing up. Ending of Sigmund H and IX H always kill me even if I'm flawless the entire song.

I swear I'm doing those fast sequences of 765432 34567 7654365432 right but I keep losing a lot of gauge.
>>
>>16864475

9s are absolutely a wall and milestone.
9s are the very first difficulty level at which any pattern can be considered fair game, albeit perhaps at a slower speed.
Scales, stairsteps, butterflies, tricky off beat scratching, chords of 4+ notes in any configuration.
You can find almost everything the game has to offer in 9s. These patterns just get faster and much more dense as you go forward.

anyone else feel like they're mashing but they're mashing the right notes

quell
watch out
watch out pt.2
naughty girl
b4u remix
air raid from tha undaground
still in my heart

they're better songs, sure, but someone who believes in a "9 wall" isn't gonna have fun playing them.
