Temporary got my comp back to draw stuff for mom's school.
Must've felt glorious feeling it again...

...damn, I seriously don't know what to do in your situation, I probably would have gotten a mental breakdown a long time ago...

AR CROSS RUNNER-UP SEVEN THOUSAND?
Not sure if srs
Azure_Kite
I'm thinking the Most likely words for ADEIMN are either MEDIAN or MAIDEN. EINN is pretty much going to be NINE (or NEIN [But I doubt that because DJMax]).

As for the 3rd Section, [D/O/U=A/C/D/F/O/R/R/U/ , C/I/E/R] I've no idea what the = Stands for. I'm thinking [3 Letters] = [8 letters] , [4 Letters]

For the 4th Section, [A/R C/O/R/S/S E/N/N/P/R/R/U/U/] (2 Letters, 5 Letters, 8 letters), I have a couple of ideas for the 1st Part. If this is indeed entirely English, they could be either:

OR, Leaving ARCRSSENNPRUU 
RE, Leaving ACORSSNNPRRUU
NO, Leaving ARCRSSENPRRUU
ON, Leaving ARCRSSENPRRUU
SO, Leaving ARCRSENNPRRUU

Also, I agree with Seven Thousand.

While I am indeed thrilled to know that I can get my comp for today,
but nah...I'm not going to have a spazfit,that'll be rather OOC for me.

Oddly enough,I'm having a bit of an artist's block nao.While I did finish the
art mom needs,but other than that....derp

DUO = ???, RICE
Azure_Kite
See, this is where I get vague. According to my current theory, that section is misleading. From what I understand, the [] symbols indicate a group of letters that make up a word, or group of words. From my understanding, the words won't be anagrams of DOU, ACDFORRU and CIER. Rather, they are three words, using all letters (DOUACDFORRUCIER), but split into groups of [3 letters] = [8 letters] , [4 letters].

I thought Rice initially, too. but after looking at the rest of the puzzle, I'm thinking otherwise, now.

Wait, ever thought that the spaces are to be treated as one character together with the other letters in the sections?

[A/R C/O/R/S/S E/N/N/P/R/R/U/U/]

If you would notice, the / is supposed to separate character from character, right? So, instead of thinking, let's say, A/R C/O/R/S/S as two words with the first string being 2 letters and the second being 5, it could instead be interpreted as the "R C" as being one whole character.

As a further example: The " , C" in this bracket [D/O/U=A/C/D/F/O/R/R/U/ , C/I/E/R] could instead be interpreted as one whole character, instead of seeing that to suggest the end result being "***=******** , ***".

Not sure if I explained that clear enough.

However, PH is generally a poor country and something like 10USD is actually a really, REALLY big sum of money for the non-working people over here :/
So true. 10USD here is one simple cheap haircut, while over there, it's the equivalent as going to an expensive hair salon for the works. For a cheap haircut there? 10PHP, which, according to Google, is only 0.2333 US dollars.

EDIT:
Y U NO FC?!
Zekira
Actually, haircuts here are at least 50PHP now, which is just a little above 1USD.

...what CAN you get from 10PHP now anyway, aside from candy or 3 pieces of cookies? Kind of hard to remember now lol

Anyway, LESS THAN A WEEK TO WAIT BEFORE PSPDX

sure sounds like a remix to me (while KiSai is something else entirely)

As much as I want to record them myself,the arcade is far too noisy
for me to get a decent recording

Got a decent design for his hat?

I actually think keeping the original hat is better IMO; I know the hat may be too cute for him, but his other features say otherwise though.

Well, up to you. Aside from retaining the hat I don't really have much to say.

Also, I need ideas for what BG I'll use for M.Sai

I'd prefer if it was a modification of Kharl's original Saitama BG once again; just that I'm out of ideas for how to change it. I'm welcome to other ideas that doesn't involve Kharl's BG too.

Oh, and Love Ikusa too

@Onosaki: I don't know how, but there have been live video outputs of Taiko arcade since around 9 or 10. They're most preferred for listening to the song and see the notes at the same time clearly.

My comp's still not locked yet (yay!) so I guess I can
help ya with this.
Throw in some ideas and I'll (try to) deliver
Zekira
Something that's either badass (...I must admit, M.Sai for Hardcore genre), or something like a median between cute and chaotic (median of Sai and K.Sai)

Other than those words, I really don't know. Saitama monster is obligatory, however. I'm still thinking of just doing modifications to Kharl's BG but I guess the uniqueness of this song merits a new BG, too...

If it's possible, maybe you can whip up something by tonight? I'm planning to submit this before I sleep

I'll map Love Ikusa tomorrow if I'm not busy~ Unless someone beats me to it first.

SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITS(ry

I'm taking my IELTS tomorrow (not like I'm worried,but my
parents did ask me to get higher grades),so I hafta sleep
early according to my parents.
While I can sneak online time using my iPod,I'll
easily get caught if I use my comp.
So I don't think I can start on drawing MaSai's
BG…sorry Zekira orz
I'll see if I can get started tomorrow (assuming that
my comp's not locked by then)

Now about the song's composer…I don't think it's
Linda-al-CUE,the song's style (hardcore with a pinch of
gabba) doesn't sound likesomething Linda would use.
The 2000 series is pretty loose when it comes to genres,but yeah…
Heck,hardcore's one of those genres
you rarely see in Namco Originals anyways.

I wonder who's the composer this time,assuming that Linda
is indeed not returning to composefor taiko.
While I did say MaSai would fit in IIDX,I can't really
pinpoint the style of any main Konmai artists in this
song,oh well

I'd like to map a custom taiko map for mata saitama 2000 but when I set a bpm it's incorrect and it goes offbeat rly quick, anyone can tell me the bpm and offset pls :o (just so u know i'm new at mapping :( )
Zekira
If you're new to mapping then please don't do a map / chart for Mata Saitama2000. It is one of the more difficult songs to actually make a map from. Start with something simple.

The timing of Mata Saitama2000 is complicated as it breaks the time signature multiple times. I already have the timing fixed, but that's because I'm experienced in recognizing the beats...
LukaXD
well thx for the tip, i'll try mapping more maps b4 i try this one ;)

I could try to change it but still I'll fail :D

I'm wondering if I can make a custom oni map for this song as soon as you put a link, Zek.

Edit : WHO HAD THE 8888TH POST ?
Kurokotei
Yes, it's true (In Mata, there are many changes of measures, changes of scroll, and many more... Shit, it's too hard to map this in TaikoJiro)
If you want to see the map of Mata, it's this:


EDIT: WHAT??? THE BPM IS 240 AND NOT 245????
crystalsuicune
Awright,I gotta ask you guys about MaSai's song genre.
Remember how my BGs often include info such as song name,
song genre,composer,stuff like that?

So I wanna ask:Which genre should I put this song in?
(as if it were a IIDX song,so it's not limited to existing genres.)

Ideas so far:
NIISEN GABBA
NIISEN HI-SPEED GABBA
NIISEN SPEEDCORE
NIISEN HARDCORE
(all of them start with niisen,it's intentional

Wait,speedcore needs a minimum of 250BPM.Can
we ignore that?240 is somewhat close to that…right?
Zekira
573 use anything for their genres.

In any case I'm not familiar with some of the genre 'keywords', however, despite the fact that I've been in contact with Bemani for a long time now. Your call.
OnosakiHito
Tought to tell you that I have talked to peppy few minutes ago about the #taiko channel.
Possible to do it, but question is just, makes it sense to implement it.
He knows about it now and I told him some facts why we should have it + updated the first post in the request thread.

All we can do it is to wait now, because he don't work atm for osu!.

I tried.

It's a big fail imo (orzorzorzorzorz)

@ Gezo, Let me try working on the type on the background, to see if I can change what is says. (Since it still says Saitama~ instead, and maybe a small modification to the don-kat chitai to match Mata's chart.)

@Ono, A little late, but those HQ captures are taken because those players have access to (which means own) a Namco 256 PCB and the AC14 CD (and a bunch of other needed parts such as a security dongle, i/o board, etc.). After that, it's almost the exact same process as taking HQ captures of console games. The main problem there is it's quite difficult to find those things, especially when you're out of the country. (There are physical stores in Japan that sell pretty much nothing but arcade parts, such as the ones I mentioned.)

Why do I always have tp be asleep when you guys are awake. I always feel like I'm late to the conversation. Stupid time zones. :p

BTW, for those lazy to check the link out, it's an HQ capture of Mata's BGM.

Methinks it also answers the question posed in Saitama2000. Remember the line "What's for lunch?"

As long as it doesn't break on blue it's technically possible to continue mapping and still have it come out the same. Though the horizontal lines would come out weird during play mode lol

SUCH A RE-VAMP

BUT THE CLASSICS ARE SO NICE

Maybe Mata can be top left and yellow or something because

Saitama2000 - Blue, bottom left
Haya Saitama2000 - Red, bottom right
Kita Saitama2000 - Green, top right
Mara Saitama2000 - Yellow, top left!

@Gezo TBH, I don't think I can't do much without it looking sloppy, since the texts are not editable, and there's a crapload of them. Plus the text that I put in looks way to sharp compared to the rest, which looks more blurry. It definitely stands out.

If you want to see how I did, here's a preliminary edit:

http://www.mediafire.com/?69v4ostss7gb0ip

I only edited the "Saitama~" part to say "Matasaitama~" instead. I haven't edited the don-kat chitai yet.
And FYI, I was only planning on editing the texts, I wasn't going to touch anything else.

Here's a screenshot:

Off-topic: Only 5 days left till DX hits the shelf. Better hurry up and finish Rorona or I'll never get to it.

EDIT: Seeing Crystal's BGM, I think it's pointless for me to go further. Her's look so much better. :p
@Crystal: Think you could put a cherry pie in there somewhere? lol
crystalsuicune
MaSai is supposed to be blue-ish green (teal?),somewhat
between Saitama!Blue and Kitasaitama!Green...Looks like I didn't do a good job widdat

@OzzyOzrock You mean I should flip the background horizontally,but keep the character as it is?

Actually I was more or less saying that Kharl's BG is a tradition now but CHANGE MUST BE MADE.

Oh, I forgot one

I'm busy right now and not at home so I can't give comments properlyright now

I'll traverse your guys' creations later... though with my lack of visual creativity I'm going to have a hard time choosing which to choose, though I'd probably use the KharlBG mod more

Or, you know, use different BGs across the difficulties.

I'm also trying my best to TaikOsu M.Sai, but I'll still be getting the Taiko BGs just in case I fail at TaikOsuing this...

@Zekira: Does that mean I should keep going? I tell you, unless I replicate Kharl's BG from scratch, it's going to look quite sloppy. I could probably replicate the darn thing, though I'd have to figure out how to type out half those characters that are used in those emoticons.
