That's awesome peppy
I stil have a question about kiai time. Can this 'flash' at the beginning of kiai time cause lags like i have with shader effects? If it does I think it would be better if it can be optionally removed. (just the flash)

The flash is only experienced if you have shaders enabled.

kiai time is a great idea!
good work!

but kiai isnt giving bonus points in no mode but taiko, or?

Kiai time only gives 1.2x score bonus in taiko.

Kiai time looks awesome.

I have a question: did you tweak anything when it comes to timing and the countdown? :P The countdown in one of my maps shifted left by a tick, and now I either have to SB it, or mess with the offset.

No biggie. Just wondering.


I found a bug. :? I'll post it way later. >_>

Nice update otherwise. Kiai Time's awesome. It was a good idea to wait before getting my newest map ranked. <3

EDIT: Oh the Taiko message is still there so I deleted the first half of my post. Oops.

No, but you will need a map that does have it. Ikarus was added manually by matty before recording the video. I'm sure he posted it in the map's thread, if you want to try that specific map.
