Giving a shit is standard arcade etiquette. I don't see how it's alright to hold up the line by playing more than you payed for. It's not like the line consists solely of jerks who try to rush you off of the machine. Most folks just wanna stop in, play a couple of rounds just like everyone else, and then go about their business in a reasonable timeframe.

Besides, a good portion of 3 minute songs tend to get unbearably boring by the end.
I payed a dollar to use the machine, I think I could get my money's worth by playing whatever damn song I feel like. Besides, if it looks like someone's in a hurry, I finish my song and let them use the rest of whatever I have, then let them have their own paid turn. Patience is a wonderful thing, remember this. :\

Then you must not have played some very fun long songs. ):
Haha, the place I go to that has a DDR machine(since Arcades are 100% dead where I live unless they're LAZAA ARCAYDS) is a local game store and the machines set to 75 cents for 3 songs :D, After reading this little debate which brought up $1 for 2 songs I feel lucky.

The place I play ITG is $1 for 3 songs, but where the single DDR machine is (which is much closer), it's 50 cents for 3 songs.

Habeeb? huh?

=P onetime I me and some friends joined in a Laser tag game and I got a defective vest that shocked me whenever I was hit, and everytime it shocked me I ran out of ammo.

So I pretty much was just point fodder for the other team.

Looks like a you need a crash course in memes.

Also, Loginer, EAT FOOD. Eat FATTENING FOOD. Gain enough weight so you can at least hold down freeze arrows on a metal pad. :U

I need to get to the arcade sometime, since I need to play on metal more. I don't feel like dropping a few hundred bucks to get a Cobalt Flux right now.

I've got a new game for you, then. It's called "Eat your weight in bacon." If you don't have a heart attack, you move on to the next round. You win by surviving 10 rounds. The prize? You play again.

On the whole ITG discussion, the song length doesn't really matter anyway. People can patch up .ogg files so that the machine thinks the song is 1:45 but it allows you to play through the entire song and chart. Plus, on certain machines, it doesn't matter. I play in Southern California(where the recent ITG Open Tourney was held and where most of the best players are) and the machine I play on most often is a 75 cent 4 song machine[Singles/Couples/Doubles] where none of the songs count as 2 songs. The machine has around 1k songs, over half being insane 14-16 footers that are 7-8 minutes in length.
Now I know it's good etiquette to not play for a LONG time, as do most people, but you'll still find annoying people that do it anyway.

BTW what footers do you guys play? I'm doing mid 11s right now... Luckily I've been able to have this guy give me pointers

Honestly, I suck at ITG/pad based rhythm games. On DDR, I can do 8s. I think the best I've done on ITG2 is pass Robotix.

Passed everything 'cept Pandemonium Expert on ITG2, and then they took the arcade outta the mall, so that was the end of that story. I'd have to go all the way to Chinatown Fair or 8otb to play again, and I'm not gonna make an actual trip to play the game, even though either one is just about 40 minutes.

Also, since then I've probably gotten much worse. Or maybe I need some fresh air after every fast song. I could play at least on 12 per game, but after that I'm like "nah bring on the slow tunes".

I'm in an area where I have 2 machines within 10-20 minutes of me, but I'm also in an area where it seems everyone but me does 14+ charts. It's a bit daunting but everyone's nice.

Any tips on getting stamina up? I've been trying to pass Hardcore Symphony but I just don't have the stamina.

I'm not sure what I can say about building stamina. For one thing, the bar will obviously increase it by lots, but you're probably already using that. Another way is to move around less, if that makes sense. You don't have to lift too far off of the pad, and you don't have to bring your entire foot to the arrow that you're pressing. Probably nothing you haven't heard, but still something to keep in mind.

Of course, no matter how you play, endurance will build up in time. Believe me I remember being at the "tryin'a pass Hardcore Symphony" level, and how quickly I grew out of it. You'll be passing twelves by the end of the year even if you don't play more than once a week. Just push it to the limit on your last song every time.

Third, get it right.

Also, how could I? I grew up with GuitarFreaks as one of my rhythm games of choice (back when the arcade around here still existed). I honestly prefer GF because it's a lot harder and it's got a special spot in my heart that GH can't enter (It's close to Pop'n, that's how close it is).

In short: fanboyism + THIS CAME FIRST, HURR

So basically, you have absolutely no good reason to hate GH. <_<
Also, both games are difficult, just in different ways. GF throws in a lot of notes at the same chords, while GH/RB spreads them out more, but have fewer of them (Most of the time). And 5 frets are harder to handle than 3. A lot of the GF songs look extremely hard, but that's mainly because of the note speed.

I've never heard of guitar freak ever before.

And frets on fire has customizable maps, so I don't see what's the big deal..

Frets on Fire doesn't seem to have standards or organization though, so getting GOOD customized songs is hard. I got a pack of 40 to 80 songs and about 12 of them were good.

Guitar Hero is easy to bullshit through, simply put. I managed to play through Hard Mode on GH1 without ever having played GH before, Star Powering through every section that gave me trouble, not even getting used to the controls by the end of Bark at the Moon. I've since gotten better, playing maybe 5 or 6 times a year, and I'll admit it's a fun game when you're hanging out with people and you forgot to bring a Monopoly board, but it's nothing to take seriously. Hell, the scoring system is probably even more of a joke than Ouendan.

So, I played Pop'n at a friend's place about a week ago for the first time in like a year. Yeah, I didn't suck as much as I thought I should (I can still do EX), but I didn't FC [Lamento]. D: That's proof that I need to mod my PS2 and import Pop'n 13. I mean, I used to be able to nearly FC [HARD PF].

Lol it was fun for a play through, at the very least.

Mogsworth: If you have a classic PS2, you don't even have to mod it. You just gotta open it with a butter knife after loading the SwapMagic. =P

My classic PS2 died in a fit of rage, so I've just got a slim PS2. ): But, Swap Magic'll definitely work. Once I have the funds for that and importing Pop'n 13 and the controller.

Agreed. Still the best console, and if anyone doesn't have it yet it's more than worth it for the price before moving onto the next-gen consoles.


And Mogsworth, if you do end up modding your Slim, you'll want a BeatMania controller also =P. There are more IIDX styles on PS2 than anyone knows what to do with.

I'm more of an FFR/Stepmania guy (I can't pad, though). I like the streams of arrows.

I do like Beatmania IIDX but don't have the cash to get the controller. I don't really like playing at arcades.

SM is definitely my favorite rhythm game as of now. I started DDR waaay back like 7ish years ago, wound up quitting ITG randomly about a year ago, though recently I've been wanting to get back into it. Just found out about osu from the forums over at FFR.

This seems more like an introduction, sorry x.x

Don't know if it's been brought up, but DJ Max for PSP.

How much do swap magics run for? I've been contemplating picking one up because I wanna try Pop'n. I already have a USB IIDX controller so I'm not sure if it's really worth picking up a swap magic just to try Pop'n.

If there's one thing I love the most about DJMax Portable 2, it's the grammatically false descriptions of the videos in MV Edition mode. Oh my god, I've never had that much fun on a menu screen in my life.

Fun game, indeed. There are only a few genuinely difficult songs, and even those are easy to bullshit through.

Tsukasa plays a piano solo. It makes you picture driving a race car on a circuit
M2U's music and D's visual make a mystery story
Planetboom's guitar sound gives pictures that someone make a new start of the life
Those are some of my favorites ;P

I mean, what I would use it for wouldn't be pirated. I'd actually import a few Pop'n games and the controller.

I don't remember the exact quotes, but something like;

"A brother and sister make their dream come true to become an aviator". What the fuck, are these kids gonna fuse together? How can 2 people become AN aviator.

I remember that one. When I noticed the horrible grammar my friend and I sat there reading through the descriptions.

Have you guys seen stuff for Ubeat? New bemani game that looks pretty cool. 4x4 touch screen grid that flashes to the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uWu5QHQWEc In a week or two the arcade/family fun center near me is getting to test it along with DDR X. DDR X seems to be taking a lot from ITG now that Konami has the rights to it. I don't know if it's going to be good or bad.

Wow, I haven't even heard of DDR X until you just now mentioned it. Hell, did SuperNOVA 2 even come out? I've been waaay outta tune.

Anyway, it's good that there's a new 1 through 20 difficulty rating. Hopefully songs like MAX 300 will only be around 16 or so.

I remember reading somewhere that you pretty much take the original difficulty and multiply it by 1.5 to get the new rating. Max 300 is now a 15... I wonder where an ITG 15 would sit on DDRX's new system?

Have you seen pics of the DDRX cabinet? Looks pretty damn spiffy but they are probably going to be REALLY expensive. I'm hoping to see someone gut one of these and run ITG on it.

EDIT: Video with the cabinet from Bemanistyle -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2dQYfsafMU
