Failed 7dan four times.
Johns:
- I hit 6/7 with my ring and pinky by default which makes The Safari's rolls extra hard from lack of pinky strength (can't hit Roulette nonran either)
- Ubertreffen nonran sucks when you can't actually hear the song (boring and demotivating!)
- I opened Thaws' video then forgot to actually watch it lmao
Also wow people were all over the sound voltex machines, I oughta try it some time
crack traxxxxx and daiuchuu stage are good songs
Ouch.
I felt like Ubertreffen was harder than FIRE FIRE when comparing PENDUAL's 7th dan to SPADA's. FIRE FIRE had less notes so it wouldn't cut into your gauge as much. and this whole dan is basically taka songs + rche lol
I didn't really completely followed the techniques on that SARAFI video but it's a good reference. I basically just pressed 6+7 together in most te-le-te-le-te-te parts when I did 7th dan :V
SDVX is awesome and you should definitely try it :V There's so many good songs on there now thanks to the success of FLOOR and constant updates every 1-2weeks, so much that it's basically impossible to catch up with updates unless you play like 50 credits a week. But they give out block bonuses (currency for unlocking) on a regular basis and with the exception of boss songs, you're not really restricted by what order to unlock things which are the best.
They actually have the Golden Week bonus till 5/14 and it's a really good source of blocks, you get up to 10 stamps a day (1 stamp per play) and you get 390 blocks on the 4th,9th stamp, 1k blocks on the 5th,10th stamp. To put it into perspective, you get more or less ~300 blocks per credit, and unlocking a SDVX III lv15 chart costs 2000~2300 blocks.
Songs from I are also dirt cheap and those from II are also had their price cut by over half so that's pretty nice for someone just starting out.
Not to mention NOVICE charts are pretty much all unlocked right from the start. (And you can't die from songs under lv6 or 7, I don't exactly remember, but you should see a SAFE label on the top right of the jacket if you'd be safe)
Oh yeah, guess I should post my card name. It's CSYM on both iidx and sdvx, but I won't be in socal for the coming few weeks lol.
