Rhythm Gaming! Let's dance and groove!

[Aba Matindesu!]

I'm so tempted to drop $~12 on Paseli just for auxiliary features that I don't really need in DDR (fast/slow indicators, other stuff on eamuse site). This is on top of already maining Doubles.

but where the paycheck aaaaaaaaat

[Thaws]

Blaster energy x3 is the best thing to happen on sdvx in a long time. Hopefully I can finish story by next week before the bonus ends to get a head start on the flugel path with the bonus.

In other news SDVX just released six 5th KAC contest songs including penoreri's song finally.

Personally like BlackY and 庭師's song out of the batch the most.
All the songs have amazing charts too.

Why ded tred is ded

3 October there was a live session for AOU announcement.
Participants for the AOU are:
Sound Voltex by Konami
maimai by Sega
Groove Coaster by Taito
Taiko no Tatsujin by Bandai Namco

For the new original songs for the event, we have:
kyokuken - cosMo vs dj Taka (SDVX)
Nitrous Fury - Jun Senoue (maimai)
Scarlet Lance - MASAKI (ZUNTATA) (GC)
doku L0CANdy - t+pazolite (Taiko)

And for crossovers, everyone get one song from previous AOU by lottery, and the results are:
Solar Storm from GC for SDVX
yoake made ato 3 byou from Taiko for maimai
Axeria from maimai for GC
masakari blade from SDVX for Taiko

I don't know but there's some rumor about gekkou ranbu from SDVX being crossed all over the platforms.

That's all for AOU.

In other news, IIDX copula will soon be available for public in Indonesia. Really looking forward to this. SDVX and MUSECA is still waiting for further information.

[Aba Matindesu!]

The SDVX 4 song contest (and, well, SDVX 4 by extension) was announced. About time we got a new SDVX :V

Why ded tred is ded

Because I find no reason to post update for a certain rhythm game when anyone can search it online and my source of information is crap because I don't have any connection and I begin to despise rhythm game as much as I despise GoS (let's just say playing rhythm game in my own country is just miserable).

Anyway, for maimai Pink, in commemoration of Hakurei... I don't know what they called the convention in 16th Oct, maimai finally released Touhou Arrangement song, this time it's centered around IN (That's good since I'm getting bored of SDVX fanboyism for Chen and PCB in general).

They released 3 new song and 2 Re:Master on maybe 6th October (today). The songs appear to be Eirin, Kaguya, and maybe Mokou's theme. And the Remastered song are TeiEientei (AKA the song that got censored because it contains Tewi flipping the moon and Reisen being....) and Overdrive.

Museca is so universally disliked that even arcade in Singapore actively tries to sabotage it. Wow.

[Thaws]

hype!

SDVX kind of started off the current trend with BEMANI games where they release new note type/game-affecting elements every new iteration of a game. I wonder what can they still do with within SDVX's hardware limitation though? They pretty much released any limit they had on charting with SDVX III.

Welp SDVX's PCB contest song stock is used up with today's update so yeah we're finally done. Rather than Chen favourism, people are more upset with how almost every update had to be Alice's remix being 15 I think. :V

On the other hand CHUNITHM got Imperishable Night 2006 which is a really well known insane BMS song from years ago so that was a pretty interesting choice.

Strangely I'm seeing wayyyy more casual players trying out Museca than SDVX at the Round 1 I frequent. Is it because of the less intimidating looks? Or the graficas?

Well that's...
Think about it, when people plays SDVX all the time, and the MUSECA booth is empty, what would casuals do?
Then again it's definitely the graficas. pixiv: the rhythm game.
I don't know why MUSECA is really neglected to be honest.

What do you mean by that?

[Your Everyday NEET]

Arcades in Singapore uses card that we pay for it and then fill it with credit in order to play all the games there. Museca uses COINS instead. Why would they do that?

[Gpop]

Meanwhile, SDVX just released a Touhou Youyoumu Ultimate Medley. As the title states, it features arranges of songs from Perfect Cherry Blosson.

The medley is actually really good and doesn't have awkward transitions like the KAC 2013 Emperor Side did, thankfully.

[Thaws]

Well the place I go to have empty SDVX cabs all the time, but I guess it is a game with steeper learning curve than museca (though still way smoother than iidx's learning curve haha).

Well the medley is a floor song not a KO, so it gotta be good to get accepted.

On the topic on medley floor songs, this one is amazing as well. It's a Necrofantasia remix but they cramped all the themes from PCB into like 20s in the middle of the song Mamonis style.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwa5Tr9RZ90
Also, no good update is complete without a Hirayasu Matsudo knobs chart.

[Aba Matindesu!]

Sucks, I found Museca vanilla fun as is, and 1.5 made it so much better. Also helps the casual crowd that it's nearly impossible to fail at it.

[Thaws]

SDVX IV Heavenly Haven hype!



Level scale goes from 1~16 to 1~20 which makes lots of sense. Seeing a 15 on a song basically gives you no reference to how hard it is anymore with the gap being so large.

Confirmed only 20 is Lachryma.
Apparently Daiuchuu is a 16 on EXH and 18 on GRV. I guess that ends all the arguments of whether Daiuchuu is a 13 or 15 or 16 or 17. derp  :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V :V

Someone on twitter reported Black Emperor GRV being a 19, which means it jumped past ex-16s like Medley2012 and MaxBurning INF and joined the ranks of stuff like Everlasting Message [GRV]. lol

Apparently songs having the fourth chart (HVN) is gonna be the norm now?

Ranks are being split more finely than just A->AA->AAA. Seems like the new S Rank is 9.9m
This is gonna give me more motivation to get better!

[jester147]

The new rescale

Also apparently you can print song result on generator now.

They said you can now buy songs when playing, not just at the end

Now to other news...



maimai MURASAKI is currently on loctest

New features include Max Fever and Banquet Mode.
Max Fever is when all players get Full Combo, other features unknown.
Banquet Mode is like World's End in CHUNITHM, which means gimmick charts.
For example the chart for Reach for the Stars has the taps replaced by breaks.

Max song level is 12+, with many songs rescaled. Most 12s become 12+ now, and most 11+ and some 11 are now 12.
Ratings are now reaching 15 something instead of 13.9s

Still unsure but someone said that Challenge Tracks will be on 2-day basis.

Loctest screenshots:



What do you guys think, I personally don't like the UI.

[Your Everyday NEET]

The interface is just too flashy and too... Japanese-y. Then again, MURASAKI means purple in japanese (I thought Yukari means purple. But at least now I know where Murasakibara from Kuroko no Basuke gets his name). I'm still okay with the interface.

[Thaws]

Pretty sure murasaki is the more common way to read purple. Yukari is probably only used in names? iuno

In other news, iidx 24 sinobuz is comfirmed for release on 10/26!
We were shown two new songs (Amazing Mirage/lapix, karasu/LED-G) on the livestream last week in addition to finally getting to see Hu∑eR in person!
Turns out he's a double Kaiden, and in his exhibition match against Dolce in a blind run on lv11 chart Karasu, he only lost by about 40 EX-SCORE (granted dolce was like max-40 or so, so it's still a huge difference at that level of skill but still an amazing feat not many people in the world can do I'm sure).

2ch quickly began speculating the true identity of Hu∑eR and they've found quite the amount of evidence pointing to a doujin artist named 8284 being his old alias. Evidence include similar levels of skill in bms/iidx, 8482's twitter mysteriously closed down around the time of Hu∑eR's debut, him having songs named similarly to Hu∑eR's debut songs in Bemani.

If that's true it kinda huge because he's like the first in-house artist to ever have written bms songs/charts before (and participated in SDVX floor)! Amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-qm_B6JnXo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ-oQBIwsBA
Do the sounds used in these songs sound kinda similar...?

[jester147]

lol didn't people say that Hu∑eR is actually

Spoiler:

DJ TOTTO

?

[Thaws]

That was before we actually saw HuMer in person and confirmed he's a new guy though.
In fact Totto joked about him being speculated as HuMer numerous times on the livestream before introducing HuMer. (E.g. First thing totto said on the stream was like "Hi everyone, it's me HuMer! Just kidding")


Edit:
Sinobuz is amazing.
You can see them putting way more efforts into BGAs now. AsiaN Distractive and 獅子霞麗の舞's BGA's quality is just amazing.
Also can't not mention this:

[Aba Matindesu!]

BTW, Sinobuz builds for foreign territories (aka no paseli) have VIP passes. These give you even more special features. IIRC each can only be used on the day of; you'll have to buy another one the next day.

[jester147]

BEMANI Indonesia News:

Beatmania IIDX is now officially released for Indonesia region. Currently still 23 copula but will shortly become 24 SINOBUZ after download is finished.

Currently only three places have IIDX:

Amazone Virgin Island Mal Artha Gading, Jakarta
Kingsfun Hartono Mall, Yogyakarta
Mr. Token City of Tomorrow, Surabaya

There has been no news about SDVX or MUSECA. Hopefully they will be released shortly.

In other news from SEA BEMANI scene, Philippines is getting DDR A loctest it seems.

EDIT: Mall Artha Gading machine is now SINOBUZ version

[Aba Matindesu!]

^ Congrats! Looks like Konami's global initiative is finally really kicking in.

In other news from SEA BEMANI scene, Philippines is getting DDR A loctest it seems.

And yes, that we are. Any rhythm gamers on here who live in the Philippines, I'll update you on that front when the time comes, but odds are good that it will be tested at Quantum SM North EDSA.

PS we're getting more SDVX cabs yeeeeeeeeee, but in the meantime, please give jubeat more love too <3

[jester147]

Happy 20, November!

May BEMANI is still giving us music till years to come!

Did you guys know that the Challenge Tracks in maimai recently are done by FLOOR artists?

INNOCENT NOIZE (siromaru)
HiTECH NINJA (lapix)
D-Cee (C-Show)
WAiKURO (BlackY)

[MatsuriSakuragi]

the lack of talk about THUMPER disappoints me.


THUMPER IS RHYTHM VIOLENCE
YOU ARE A SPACE BEETLE
KILL CRACKHED!


it's incredibly exhilarating

[Aba Matindesu!]

Taiwanese readers, ahoy! Naoki just announced a loctest for Crossbeats in Taiwan c/o Tom's World.

And who knows, this might mean something for PH players too, seeing as Tom's World also has a decent foothold in the market there.

edit:
KAC's game availability list(s) came out and a friend of mine made this spreadsheet for SEA + US.

Thailand, y'all needa chill.

[Koumepatchy]

I finally get the chance to go to my nearest round one this Saturday, I can't wait to finally play SDVX for a few hours!

[jester147]

There's an Indonesia representative for IIDX

I'm gonna fill in of who is this player is. One thing is that this is currently the one and only copula SP kaiden in Indonesia.

I'm not surprised of America representing for DDR lol.

edit: wait is this just listing game availability in the countries that have bemani?

[Thaws]

I finally get the chance to go to my nearest round one this Saturday, I can't wait to finally play SDVX for a few hours!

More SDVX players in America! yay!

edit: wait is this just listing game availability in the countries that have bemani?

It's just availability. The preliminaries have not even started.

Black or white? [GRV] is the latest song to join the lv16 family in SDVX!
dat extended CN zone at the start.

[jester147]

Hello there Rhythm gamers!

How are you guys doing? Enjoying the new arcade releases?
I seriously wanted to try all of them, but they're unavailable yet... Here I am stuck with maimai PiNK PLUS and IIDX SINOBUZ.

I saw the new charts in SDVX, and Dreadnought is epic like the song, that bpm change at the buildup!
It's funny that now EXH isn't really the hardest anymore.

[Your Everyday NEET]

Yeah. Although I'm pissed off that my rating in maimai got reduced by 0.40 (which will takes me 10-20 credit to recover) after transferring my account to MURASAKI. It's interface certainly is bombastic. Utage songs are certainly unique, but  you must S rank all previous songs if you want to play it unless you got a friend to play with (which I have none),. Also, S ranking level 10 song - it decreases my rank instead of increasing it. Rhythm game is a load of bull.

There is Heavenly and Maximum difficulty in SDVX IV. And again, my skill level has been reset, making me unable to play any song beyond level 7-8 (when the max difficulty is now 20). Navigating the song selection in SDVX IV is harder since I can't categorize the song by level (Or Touhou Arrangement Songs). With the huge selection of song and only 60 seconds to pick... I still don't know how to increase my skill level by to normal since I can't find Skill Analyzer.

[Aba Matindesu!]

making me unable to play any song beyond level 7-8

Didn't they have a temporary patch where you could start with 16s (new scale) since Skill Analyzer won't be until tomorrow?

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

So, uh, I'm massively late on this, but...

Hatsune Miku: Future Tone is getting a US release. January 10. With all the songs intact (though it's the same split into two halves JP has).
