@Backfire: epic

5.22 stars? I still don't get it. :p

DJ AUTO is a good name for オート as well.

WHY IS EMPRESS STILL SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE?! L:JHFSDKLJFHDFLK

Uh... dude, osu! diffs can't go beyond 5 stars

Really? I thought they went up to 10 stars?

Lol nope

Now you know.

I also have BD on 7th day. Happy BD to mekadon.

HOORAY FOR SEPTEMBER! (obligatory) EXTREMELY ADVANCE HAPPY B-DAY TO YOU AS WELL!

God I love September, since I was born in this month too.

Actually, there's no limit to how high difficulty levels can go. It's just that in-game, it can only display up to 5 stars.
If you check the submission thread of any song, you can see the difficulty level to 2 decimal places.

@above: uh, if you actually look at the thread of that song it actually became 5 stars. Beatmap Listing, it's 5.22.

Wait a minute, "522" is a magic number for games, I just don't remember what it is...



Oh and yeah you can Edit the submission thread to 'alter the star rating of that difficulty'. I've done this too many times lol (check viewtopic.php?t=18749)

Have you been using the Taiko skin all this time? That may explain it. Since half a star is cutting the image of the star in half, LH made two stars so the right one would be cut off in the case of a half-star, hence giving the illusion that it goes up to 10 stars.

Yes, I have. I refuse to use any other skin, unless it looks even closer to TnT than the one LH made.

And sudden update from Taiko Blog! Something about the new Taiko arcade, which is related to the 10 big News!

I have no idea what it freaking says though, so can someone else post it on Taiko Time please :<

Frank made that authentic taiko skin o-o

And here's another user that's confused.

LH was the one who first made the skin.

Frank made another version which is more TnT authentic, but sacrifices osu! usability.

Frank's skin is downloaded manually through the forums. LH's skin is downloaded through the osu! updater.

Goddammit ninja

All I can catch is that the new cab will be shown in the Amusement Machine show held on September 17th

Another spot on the big 10 that's of no big news to us. I'm starting to doubt that we're going to get something with the last 4 that will REALLY excite us.

I think some of us here are actually going to benefit from this one, you know

...........will crystal's Namco card finally be used? lol

Nooooo, im not confused ><
Franks skin thing is like an add on to LH's. I was saying, if you were to play with that, it'd be about as authentic as you can get.

Maybe.

After all,Manco DID decide to do their location test of Tekken right in NWP
The new tekken cabs are no longer there,but at least it shows that Manco might
introduce other cabs with Bana Passport support

Again, another reason why I'm extremely jelly of you people in Asia.

Blame the info leak, but there's nothing of note in that entry, just a more high-res picture of the cabinet and the Banapassport thing.

If there was going to be another console Taiko in the remaining four it would already be leaked by Famitsu or something two weeks prior

Feel sad whenever I heard about new arcade machine cause I estimate 0 arcade center here will buy that.

Gut feeling tells me NWP might import that.

So far it imported AC9,11,12 APPEND and 14.
(AC14 as it is,not AC14 APPEND)
Looks like it imports every other Taiko AC here eh…
Maaaybe it'll import AC15,but that's just my little WMG

I don't think Namco is going to call it AC15 anymore.

This might be the perfect chance for me to do a beatmania->IIDX/Taiko->new cab
parallelism,but nooooooooo I've already been using Taikomania IIDX already


I am an idiot

Speaking of, if none of those announcements is 76573, I'm going to wear girl's underwear for a day. -_________________-

Don't forget guys, September downloadable songs for PSPDX is tomorrow!






And time for off-topic modo

Anyone notice that I've disappeared for a long while tonight?

Well, I just recently bought myself a new DVD Writer (finally), so I was able to burn a crapload of PS2 games again!

And for today... My fingers are insanely sore and my palm is crying. However, they are finally baptized with one of the most cruel rhythm games ever.

Today marks the day I make first contact with IIDX! lol

Unfortunately, no, I don't have an authentic IIDX controller. I however cannot bare using the dualshock for this game. I do not want to be trapped like what's happening with me in PnM! So I had to improvise...

Random bootleg fightstick that is absolutely horrible compared to the real ones, go!



The 4 buttons at the bottom are for the bottom buttons, while the 3 right most are for the top buttons. The turntable is mapped to the stick, which is not seen here. I use my wrist to hit the turntable. Retarded, I know.

Obviously, this is going to be horrible as an IIDX controller. But I don't have anything better, anyway. And it's much better than using a dualshock.

Tilt it a few degrees counter clockwise so that the top buttons are a bit more centered. The distancing is still horrible as ever, I know.



So what did I do? Of course I booted up Disc 2 of IIDX16 CS and







Obviously I failed my first 50 plays. I don't see any surprises there myself.

BTW everything I'm playing is obviously all on Normal diff. Don't expect me to move to Hyper in the next 3 weeks though. And as for Another diff... oh god give me another lifetime or something. Or 2, since I might not be able to still get an IIDX controller in my next life lol

I couldn't really describe what I felt, but all I can say is that after playing until 22:30 (starting from around 19:00) I think I'm comfortable with clearing 4-stars now. For some odd reason for me HS2.0 is actually kind of hard to read with songs over 180 BPM though T_T

I switched to Disc 1 in the middle because I figured that Disc 2 seemed to be a compilation of IIDX favorites, which means that there were almost absolutely no newbie friendly songs in there. But hey, this game isn't newbie friendly at all, so yeah.



And it's a good thing 16IIDX CS had some of the modern 573 favorites. Stuck with those instead. smooooch in particular was fortunately borderlining my skill, so I think I played that for about an hour straight to get used to the controls. Not sure how much good it did to me, but I'm able to pass Rin to Shite comfortably at least. BTW I also played Rin to Shite for a good hour too, I think.

When I felt that I was getting really tired, I tried looking at smooooch's Hyper. And first impressions? Hyper looks like a very exciting difficulty to play.

Also played a few 4 star and 5 star songs I heard for the first time. Unfortunately I don't remember their titles. Lol.



Now for a bit more ranting/impression elaboration

With my improvised 'controller', hitting tuirntable + the leftmost button becomes insanely retarded.

OR it could possibly be the PnM PSP curse getting to me; my right hand absolutely does not want to hit buttons on the left part of the controller, and vice versa. Even that short 4-6-4-6-4 5-note stream on Rin to Shite, I noticed, is always done by my right hand (two fingers, obvs), with my left hand left stationary. Same thing happened to me when I played PnM CS in Singapore. Ugh.

As for my general impessions on the game itself? I'm not sure what to feel about its non-newbie friendliness. IMO, you absolutely CANNOT start a rhythm game career with IIDX. Nope, definitely not. Or maybe that's because I jumped immediately to 7 buttons. Wait, does this game even have 5 button? The Normal notecharts already equate to the 9-button notecharts of PnM. And Normal is the easiest difficulty. That's very unforgiving if you ask me. This game also has the most unforgiving HP mechanics ever. It's like impossible to pass a song if your ranking is lower than A. Seriously. And it also has the same PnM-HP curses as the two games have similar HP systems... just that IIDX is more strict in its life recovery. ._.

Hm... what else do I want to say... I think I'm out of words here.

Oh well. Fingers are sore, left wrist is unreasonably dead. And I've been IIDX baptized. Still not sure what to feel orz.

Oh yeah did I mention?AC IIDX has Hyper by default.
You heard me right,Hyper.
(AC IIDX18 has beginner mode for,well,beginners.So that could be Konmai's way of introducing IIDX to newbs.
But once they try out standard…)

IIRC,Konmai did away with 5-button mode pretty early on.Now it's 7-button
only,even on beginner mode

And yeah,IIDX is pretty infamous for being unforgiving (Keymani and some PnM boss songs
can still kick its ass though).As for the meter…let's say 78% is most IIDXers' nightmare

Oh yeah did I mention?AC IIDX has Hyper by default.
You heard me right,Hyper.

Hyper is also the default in CS. Good thing I noticed immediately, lest I would've thrown my PS2 away lol

OH and yeah I think I DID see a Beginner option somewhere in the main menu. I don't remember. I went straight to Training orz

Who said that it's almost impossible to pass with below A? I can clear ALL MY TURN with a B and passed. Though I cleared all at the near end.

Summed up, if you have shit acc and get no miss at the 30 seconds near the end you can pass it.

Speaking about TnT, I'll think they'll just call it Taiko no Tatsujin or something (yeah it has online updatez rite?)

Meh, Malaysia had just got 14 and haven't tried yet. If it's APPEND then someone should have unlocked it. Also highscores will be dominated by proz.

Waiting for Singapore to get that though, since fanbase there is like the 2nd largest after jubeat.

Shows that the groove meter system is crazy.
Even if ya AAA'd most of the song,if ya get a bunch of misses near the end
you're still going to fail the stage

In short,ya wanna pass a song?Don't eff up at the end.And guess where Konmai
often puts the difficulty spikes in?

Cue player ragequitting

+ frequent taiko tournaments as well lol

also staying in Malaysia for one more year again as my final year in uni.

And then,
TAIKO+IIDX+JUBEAT+CRANE MACHINES (what) EVERYDAY xD

@crystal That incident, always happened to me orz

Clear everything, miss shittons at the end = fail

Game over. Lose credits.

;_;

+ frequent taiko tournaments as well lol

...............stop adding to my jelly, damn it!

All we have here are gatherings and tournaments organized by HKtaiko (usually)


Off topic:
IIDX is probably Konmai going "U MAD?" at gamers

Wish more money, make contract, buy Taiko ACs and build your own arcade, fight witches, be witches,MOANING LESCUE

Or,you know,play moar GOLD RUSH

Make it making money!

@Mekadon Uh,we're not Yoshitaka.How do we make contract.

Uh,we're not Yoshitaka.How do we make contract.

m9(^д^) ピキャー!!

BTW,the full version of CONTRACT sounds 8765737564% better than the game
version.The game version sounds unfinished IMO

This song is also a nice example of what Yoshitaka's capable of composing
before he started the whole 185 thing

I think I knew where he'd get the 185 idea. Look at the height in cm.

lol fucking hilarious

You guys were talking about IIDX? My god. Lunatic rave 2 is fun but damn near impossible on the keyboard T-T

Mekadon! YOUR AVATAR! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*dies*
Now this just made me more impatient for the 27th to get here.

As far as IIDX is concerned, I have burned and tried out 16, but am holding off until I get my hands on a KOC. There is absolutely mo way in hell anyone can tolerate playing on a dualshock.

MENDES. 'nuff said.

This thread is kidnapped by BEMANI, lol

I play jubeat / reflecbeat. IIDX? too far from here.

You're a good influence on me. Without you, I'd never even know about IIDX.

If I did the same thing, I would probably not be able to play IIDX anymore :< DAMN YOU SOCIAL STATUSSSSSSSSS D:



AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaand it's already September 7 but the songs aren't downloadable yet. aaaaaaaaa

We have IIDX 17 SIRIUS & 18 Resort Anthem, but just the few. 4th/5th mix is pretty common in smaller arcades.

They're probably going to import 19 Lincle as well 8D

If I did the same thing, I would probably not be able to play IIDX anymore :< DAMN YOU SOCIAL STATUSSSSSSSSS D:

I'm just a lot more haphazard with my money. Which isn't a good idea at all if you take into account what's happening with the economy nowadays. I consciously TRY to curb my spending, but I always fail anyways.

Aaaaaaand the September download songs are up for download!

Gonna decrypt them asap

Aaaaaaaand September update! 4 songs added!

http://www.mediafire.com/?jbdvkghoxqxy8hq

It has... well, everything so far!

If there are any problems with it, please tell me ASAP.

How does the new Manco original sound like anyways?

After all,techno/trance/tatsh style new Manco originals=you have my attention

Will post video later if there aren't any yet.

@crystal: I haven't actually played it yet, but the preview sounds like disco with a yakinikku feel.

DON'T NINJA ME I already recorded a lot of stuff :<<<<<<<<<<<<,

Oh, okay then. Less work for me.

Still processing as of this moment, though since it's audio only I don't think there's much of a difference...? IDK



Gonna upload autoplay later. And... be ready to add another song to the list of 9-star trololololol charts.





EDIT: Internet is deciding to troll by dying while I was uploading 5 different crap. Great.

The only part that was trollolol for me was the last part. And that was because my finger spazzed out. I thought this was actually relatively easy.

...do you seriously think a 4+ stanza irregular stream with 1/6 in it is regular for a 9-star? Really?

If you put it that way.... I just didn't have any difficulties with that part.

I didn't either, but for me, any anti-FC part would be considered a trololololol chart for me, regardless of difficulty, lol

EDIT: MP3 link: http://www.mediafire.com/?b74sdrvpvcbr124

...sorry for the blackbars, I've been recording stuff retardedly orz

EDIT: More like the PSP is, or something. For some reason anything I get from RemoteJoy ends up as 480x272 and not 270. I think the PSP screen has that extra 2 pixels or something?

Woah, it's Sep. 7 already? Yay

EDIT: Also I just noticed everything other than the notes are animating slower than usual cause of the lag lol

New Taiko Wii game?!
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
Also,pretty strange name right there…dunno if it's just
a placeholder name though

...!

Excuse me while I give out a sudden impulse of emotion that's almost, but not as, strong as groping Sengoku




....however

I'm not sure what to feel if this is part of the 10 big news.....

BUT STILL



MOAR CS TAIKO GAMES I CAN ACCESS YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

NOVEMBER 23?!

Also, insert obligatory PnM reference here------> Taiko no Tatsujin The Movie

yesyesyesyesyes *burned*

http://twitpic.com/6h711e

Because crystal forgot to post the second evidence.


Off-topic: And there you can also see Project Diva Extend. What

Triple posting because I'm awesome


Guys... the title of the game is worrying me:

From HKtaiko

Apparently some guys asked Etou about the new cab

@taiko_team 香港にはバナパス売ってるところがありますか？
@_すみません、香港のことは存じません・・・申し訳ないドン＞＜ 【エトウ】
@taiko_team でも新筐体は香港には遊びできるですね
@_ 現状、国内のみを予定しております。申し訳ありません＞＜ 【エトウ】

Etou's unsure about whether Bana Passports will be sold in HK
And now it's going to be Japan only for the moment (I suppose they hafta figure out
the technical stuff first,since this IS the first time taiko has network support)


Hmm,looks like I'm just lucky enough to get myself a Bana Passport due to
the Tekken 2 location test in NWP…

Hmm,looks like I'm just lucky enough to get myself a Bana Passport due to

And that my friend, is what is called planning ahead.

Good stuff.

I DON'T NEED A PSP ANYMORE?!

I DON'T NEED A PSP ANYMORE!!! (edit: bah I'm getting it anyway if the songlist is different enough )

HOLY HELL HOW DOES THIS STUFF GET LEAKED SO FAST OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD

Yet one of the HK arcade retailers claimed that they can import the new cab

http://www.hitstyle.com.hk/chi/products ... _music.htm
From their "Imported products" section



Come on NWP Come on come on import eeeet

HOLY HELL HOW DOES THIS STUFF GET LEAKED SO FAST OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD

Pretty sure they aren't intending to leak that o_o

@Zekira: It's pretty obvious though, PSP is getting its last Taiko and now Wii gets its last Taiko. It has to move to the next generation at some point (Vita and Wii U and what have you)

I DON'T NEED A PSP ANYMORE?!

I DON'T NEED A PSP ANYMORE!!! (edit: bah I'm getting it anyway if the songlist is different enough )

I'm not sure if I should stab you or not :<

Hey I really wasn't intending to buy one before PSP DX

Yeah exactly. And I really wouldn't recommend PSP to anyone anyway. I'm beginning to like it less and less, with Taiko, PnM, Patapon, and Dissidia being the only reasons I'm still using the PSP anyway

But if I see someone that does think about it I'd be incessantly going "PataponPataponPataponPataponPataponPataponPataponPataponPatapon" all day to them though, lol

It's OK,I don't have a PSP nor is allowed to buy one anyways


Random:Oh hey elite 3

Off topic:
I'm so happy,Far east nightbird and Snow goose for Lincle woohoo
…Where the hell is FLOWER

Though, I'm still a bit worried about the title. What if this is nothing new and it's just a 'trilogy' package of Taiko Wii 1, 2 and 3 on one disc? I'd hate that.

They'd be a dick to do that. They're not 573 so I don't think they'll do that

BTW I wantz my new story mode yes please

I don't know if they're willing to introduce new characters but I do want to see Ponko and Arumi back D:

God no,I'd rather have a shitload of new Manco Originals.
And Connect for taiko.And 76573.

@Zekira You're talking about CS IIDX16?
Well,they had a separate disc for all them new songs
and a couple of revivals.

Aqua's worried that the WHOLE GAME is nothing but songs from Wii1-3.

Though, I'm still a bit worried about the title. What if this is nothing new and it's just a 'trilogy' package of Taiko Wii 1, 2 and 3 on one disc? I'd hate that.

They'd be on Bison's knees if they did that, so no. They're not 573 so I don't think they'll do that.

I don't know if they're willing to introduce new characters but I do want to see Ponko and Arumi back D:

Rightrightright they have to put Best Wishes on a Nintendo console because this release date is right after Arcade HD comes out! Well I'm a bit relieved. I think

@crystal: Yes, that's my worry. If it was Wii Yondaime I wouldn't have said anything, but this...I hope none of the Namco staff are within a 100km radius of the Metroid Prime Trilogy disc.

@Zekira You're talking about CS IIDX16?

No, I meant being a dick

Oh OK then.
But isn't Konmai's dickery coming from them messing with game systems *coughReflecbeatcough*coughGFDMX3cough*coughCopiouscough*
and No-Export-For-You-itis?

They're pretty OK in the song list department

Yeah I know, I was talking about being a dick in general

Because so far I haven't seen Namco do that yet in my entire gaming life at least

Zekira wrote:

Some chinese players are still calling them out for ignoring
the Taiko asian versions

I'm indifferent though,I don't like the asian versions much

You mean making pointless re-releases no one wants? Hah, lol now I don't know why I was overracting just now It's just that I want this to be completely shitawesome and have at least 100 songs in the list

Even better,have two discs like CS IIDX16.
Both with tons of new songs (revivals are OK,
but focus on new songs)

Meanwhile,have AC taiko able to have moar songs per release.
At least they don't have to remove a lot of songs every new release

Arcade HD supports DLC so I think they can afford to do that now

Arcade HD supports DLC

WAIT WHAT REALLY




MY JELLY IS GETTING THICKER EVERY SECOND
