Hey... I thought we were gonna put a section for the god songs :<

Actually I'm curious as to whether they're gonna put Metal Hawk as the 5th god song... (I seriously failed it on the first try!) Never mind, I'm just not used to 1/3

But definitely there should be a special section for the 4 god songs and put there the names of those who FC'd them lol

aqua when you have time can you translate Hataraku's lyrics too :3 ?

I myself need to find some time to actually get the Wii and Wii2 songlist up ._.

Also, I really, really, REALLY want a TnT arcade to show up here in PH @_@ I'm really tempted to get multiple e-mails and keep e-mailing Timezone.ph (using different manner of speech each time, of course in our local language) just to convince them that there are actually people who want to play it (when in fact it's only me haha), because PH arcade people LOVE rhythm games.

Well, that's how Technika got here in PH anyway: numerous requests.

If anyone wants to help me out, http://www.timezone.com.ph/feedback.asp is the page where one can contact them. First acknowledge how the arcade's been awesome (very awesome actually, Timezone is the god of PH Arcades) before requesting for TnT lololol. (if you're serious about this, which I actually somehow am, just indicate in the fields that you want to be an anonymous sender, lol)

Hopefully after 20 lolrequests they'll listen? XD I'm not going to be a jerk and do that (atm) though, but watching the 235268347 TnTAC videos... and wishing I could actually play on the actual arcade drum... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

EDIT: OK I am offically disturbed now; I have seen over a dozen pictures of TnT R34. ALL FROM PIXIV. WHAT THE HELL.

According to the article, score evalutation is improved and motivated with the adding of trophies!
Similar to osu! achievements, trophies will be unlocked after reaching some particular requests, and then an image of the trophy won will be sent to the phone after the score immission on Taiko Dojo! A good idea for new, cute wallpapers. ;3

Plus, if you attach a twitter account to the score (I don't understand how, anyway) trophies will be published on the twitter account!

(+) Custom slider speeds between 2x and 1/2x may be used. Slider tick rate behaviour has been made more intuitive to accommodate this. (A maximum of three slider speeds for ranked maps still applies)

Zekira wrote:

@arken: In osu!standard play do the slider speed changes even come to play for those TaikOsu maps? Plus, when used in moderation, that guideline could pretty much be broken. It's been a guideline of only 3 slider speeds to avoid abuse, but if it's pretty readable that should be OK.

I mean, you're not seriously going to make an 8x spaced note at the end of Kita Saitama2000, right? Well in my K.Sai I stacked all the last notes with the HS just because that HS would be too chaotic. Then those slowdowns don't really matter much since they're just one note per signature, which pretty much means spacing is pretty insignificant.

It's usually a concern of slider abuses, but since we're rarely going to be using sliders for TaikOsu maps, this should do.

Also remember that it's a guideline (supposedly, as far as I know).

Sorry but please fix Kita Saitama to be 222 BPM please...

Start by doing the first red line around -10ms...

Then delete all red lines and start working from there...

Plus, medley series article is soon-to-be-published! Maybe adding some lines about Super Mario Bros won't be a bad idea.

Hello Timezone Philippines, maligayang bati galing dito sa Korea~

Actually 'di pa ako marunong mag Korean, wag po ninyo ako tanungin XD

Kapag andyan po ako sa Pilipinas, madalas talaga ako pumupunta sa Timezone sa Glorietta 4. I must say, sobrang updated niyo sa mga arcade games, at talagang looking forward ako sa mga bagong games na lumalabas eh makikita ko sa Timezone G4.

Mahal na mahal ko Timezone kaya pag may nakita akong branch kahit saan, magandang reputation agad tumatakbo sa likod ng utak ko, pero syempre wala pa ring tatalo sa G4 branch~

Ngunit, mayroon nga lang po akong inaaasahan kong makita na 'di po nakita na arcade game. Bumalik po ako ng Pilipinas around a few days ago, and obviously napadaan ako sa Timezone G4 (kanina lang po ako nakabalik ng Korea). Yung nasa utak ko po kasi was "regardless of the language, kung sikat yung game, probably mayroon yung Timezone niyan", pero surprisingly itong Japanese game na sikat dito sa Korea (and some other Asia countries as well) eh surprisingly 'di ko po nakita sa Timezone G4. Pansin ko rin po na ang daming gustong maglaro ng mga rhythm games dyan, at nakita ko yung DDRX2, Technika2, at tiyaka yung new rhythm game dun sa may likod nung counter na hindi ko maalala yung name eh dinudumog. Napaisip ako, pwede rin kaya isuggest game dito sa staff ng Timezone PH?

Yung name po nung game eh "Taiko no Tatsujin" , popular na basic drumming game na Japanese-only. To be fair nga lang lahat ng nakikita kong arcade lately dyan eh puro mga naka English, kaya siguro naiintindihan, pero itong Taiko no Tatsujin po eh kahit ba Japanese-only, simple lang yung gameplay niya.
Pero, tinawag din na isa sa mga pinakamahirap na rhythm games ang Taiko no Tatsujin po, may reputation po ito and marami rin pong mga pro ang tumutubo sa larong ito. Napaisip naman ako na madami rin pong mga naglalaro ng rhythm game dito, tapos baka may mga tumubo na pro rin dito sa Pilipinas. Yun lang po, pinapaalam ko lang yung isa sa mga favorite rhythm games na linalaro ko po dito, baka sakaling maisipan niyo din ipatry sa mga gamers dyan

Kung nagkataon na gusto niyo pong makaalam ng few details, sa September 8 po yung release nung Taiko no Tatsujin 14 na arcade. Wala pa pong homesite yung specific na Taiko no Tatsujin 14, pero ang site nung Taiko no Tatsujin po e http://taiko.namco-ch.net/ . Pwede na rin po siguro na at least yung lumang version (Taiko 13) na lang po kunin, pero sayang naman po kasi lalabas na rin po soon yung Taiko 14.

Promise, pati Singapore po may mga Taiko arcades din, eh hindi naman po native ang Japanese language sa kanila unlike sa Korea and Japan. Pati rin po Malaysia mayroon ring Taiko.

Just a suggestion. Sorry po kung medyo nangungulit, pero excited lang talaga ako para sa mga arcade gamers dyan sa Pilipinas~

Hello Timezone Philippines, greetings here from Korea

Actually I don't know how to speak Korean yet, please don't ask me XD

When I'm there in the Philippines, I often go to Timezone Glorietta 4. I must say, you're very updated in arcade games, and I'm really looking forward in that if there's a new arcade game coming out, it's going to be in Timezone G4.

I really love Timezone, so everytime I see a branch anywhere, I know that there's a good reputation about that place, but of course nothing still beats the Glorietta 4 branch.

Though there was one arcade game I was hoping to see but wasn't able to find. I returned to the Philippines a few days ago, and obviously I went to Timezone G4 (I just returned to Korea a few hours ago). What's in my mind about your selection is "regardless of the language, if the game is popular, Timezone probably has it", but surprisingly this Japanese game that's popular here in Korea (and some other Asia countries as well) is surprisingly not present there in G4. I also notice that there are a lot of players of rhythm games, and I saw the games DDRX2, Technika2, and that new rhythm game at the back of the counter, all were being crowded. So I was wondering if I could suggest a game to Timezone PH?

The name of the game is "Taiko no Tatsujin" , a popular basic drumming game that is Japanese-only. To be fair all the games mentioned above are in English, and thus people can understand, but even if Taiko is Japanese-only, it's gameplay is actually simple.
But, Taiko no Tatsujin is also a candidate for one of the hardest rhythm games that exists, it has that reputation and there are a lot of pros along with it. So I imagined that many would play this game, and maybe, just maybe, pros will also sprout from the Philippines. That's basically it, I'm just suggesting one of my favorite games that I play here, maybe you'd also like the gamers around there to try it out

(too tired to translate this one,but it's basically stating some details) Kung nagkataon na gusto niyo pong makaalam ng few details, sa September 8 po yung release nung Taiko no Tatsujin 14 na arcade. Wala pa pong homesite yung specific na Taiko no Tatsujin 14, pero ang site nung Taiko no Tatsujin po e http://taiko.namco-ch.net/ . Pwede na rin po siguro na at least yung lumang version (Taiko 13) na lang po kunin, pero sayang naman po kasi lalabas na rin po soon yung Taiko 14.

Promise, even Singapore has Taiko arcades too, but Japanese is not part of their major languages unlike Japan and Korea. Even in Malaysia, there are Taiko arcades too.

Just a suggestion. Sorry if I'm being disturbing, but I'm just really excited for the gamers there in the Philippines~

Just played the two new Uras... here are my thoughts on both.

- Kagekiyo: CRAAAAAZY. Not crazy enough that I would fail the whole song, but it's still batshit insane for a 10-star. Like Metal Hawk, very tough to FC.
- Ridge Racer: Not so bad. It's another one of those "rhythm gimmick" songs requiring lots of stamina. Passed with full bar.

Hopefully the new 2000 and Ura maps are even more crazier... haven't failed anything on first try since Kita and Ryougen. (Not counting newb days lol)

I just read over Lokamp's "Medley Series" post. A slight correction, but not quite.

The main reason why the Namco medley is called "Namcot medley" is because "Namcot" is referred as to "Namco mascots", which, according to the songs, are basically outlined there with the many 8-bit games. Again this is what I'm assuming, and I can't really explain it well, so I don't think I'm really THAT correct.

Mojipittan medley was also 8-star on the first DS. Might want to add that in too.
