What is ERA?

ERA is a competitive rhythm gaming team that is focused on bringing rhythm gaming to the esports light and world alongside like-minded individuals to help push this goal into reality. We strive to be the home of all kinds of players, both new and old, and we want to be able to teach the future generations to come. We welcome any and all rhythm game players onto the team, as there are no prior requirements to be able to join ERA, and there are no entry exams. We have been established for over two years, and have amassed a total of 43 members as of this dated post. We offer a mature, safe environment for those looking to be in that kind of environment and promoting individual growth along with the team.

ERA's History

ERA was originally created back in 2016 and was originally a Fighting Game team, localized within the EU region and featured some of the strongest players that region had seen. In 2021, Zenith gained permission to expand the team into rhythm gaming, and thus the ERA Rhythm Gaming Team was born. The ERA Rhythm Gaming Team has players and people from all corners of the world.

ERA's Goals

Our goals include being able to provide a home to rhythm gamers looking to take themselves and their skills to the next level, providing a team of like-minded individuals to take your own goals into fruition and help you achieve what you'd like to get done, a place where players can compete with players of similar skill for perks and prizes, a learning facility for those looking to get involved with the back end of their game and content creation (tournaments, events, staffing, etc), and lastly, a place to share our ever-burning passion for rhythm gaming! Our long term goals include becoming successful enough to adorn sponsorships and to provide our games/communities a growing competitive environment as well as a library of any resource they can use during their rhythm gaming journey.

Our Process

The acceptance process can be a lengthy one, however this section will hopefully give you enough insight to better understand what could take extra time. We begin by setting up an application form that everyone can fill out to give us the most information they can about themselves which sets them up better for the next step, which is the interview process. After the applications have been closed, there is a smaller team within ERA dedicated to this process, and one of those members will reach out to you to conduct an interview which discusses yourself and your application. This interview can be done in a call or via text, which you can request with your interviewer, but the default is text-only. After your interview has concluded, we ask you to wait patiently as we finish the rest of the applicants and their interviews. Once both of these processes has concluded, we then regroup the team to make our deliberations (The entire team makes a uniformed decision). Once those decisions are made, we then contact everyone that was involved with this process to let them know their outcome.

If only there were another way that didn't require Discord, I'd be fine to at least do something to contribute. I'm a Free Software philosophy advocate who uses some proprietary apps (though very few to begin with), which sounds ironic, but it's to my prerogative. Granted, I'll eventually start something akin to what I'm running on YouTube soon, so my response is mixed.

I cant imagine a world where normies think of rhythm games as entertaining to watch. But hey maybe that changes in the future

That seems a little misleading. As stated, I'm a guy who's not like people, and that is confirmed. I don't use the likes of Discord and Twitter, since they are weaponized technology. I'd be one of the tech nerds that would use something akin to not only being able to communicate, but in a manner that even the developers cannot know what I'm saying (like for example, Matrix). Just a little misleading and out of context I would say.

It's insane to see standard players go out of their way to hate a goal and project that'd been in progress and doing well for years, just to be met with arrogant and ignorant remarks and mentality, none of which would bode well with an idea like this.

We extend this offer to anyone that has an interest in rhythm games and seeing them go further. Ask yourself, if you are against the progression of rhythm games, why are you even here then? Maybe envy or jealousy? It's kind of sad.




For the people actually interested or considering us: you can feel free to message any ERA member about having interest in joining and they will help guide you on the process and getting involved.

I mean when most of your roster is mania game-based, there really is no room for other modes or games in general. Now I may be wrong and probably am. However, I don't see how something like this will be good for other games such as SDVX, DDR, PIU, StepmaniaX, etc. when there are already competitive scenes for all of them (DDR and SDVX along with IIDX have Developer sponsored world tourneys and local tourneys throughout the world anyway) so the need to try and expand into a market like esports is kinda weird at best. Rather build up the actual tournament scenes for Rhythm games than "bringing rhythm gaming to the esports light." For example, if we somehow got Konami to make SDVX tourneys for the NA side of the world, that would be an actual win for the scene instead of pushing something that will ultimately be trying to push against gravity vertically. Thats how I see it at least, I may say shit in here, but I jest most of the time cause its not serious, but this here is my serious answer. Anywho have a good evening

>why are you even here

You're pretty ignorant to think that nobody would react to something as amusing as this. Breathe a little, nobody is hating on your team (we can see how successful it is from the player list). Not everybody is out to get you.
