Good writeup, I agree with most everything KMasaki said. I've been spending a lot of time with Technika this week, so I can also give some thoughts.
Song grading. Based on what i've seen, S rank is a 100% Max full-combo, A rank is full-combo (with high Max % maybe), so breaking your combo guarantees you a B or less based on your accuracy. I should also point out that top song scores will not save unless you actually complete your entire 3 song set (plus non cardholder scores are wiped daily, intentional I presume?)
Best advice I can give to someone trying Technika for the first time, play your first set on LITE mode!! Whether you're pro at other music games is irrelevant, it really takes a couple songs to get the "feel" down for the game, but once you do you'll find that your skill increases very quickly. Also some songs on Pop stages 1/2 can be brutal, so watch what you pick.
Card-related bug i've noticed, I can't get a personal score to save for "Closer" on Pop stage 1, no matter how many times I clear it. Might be known already, but thought i'd mention it.
PS: Who is DJ LUCENTAI? You were the only one with scores on the machine when it arrived, Cali player? |
