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? |
Oh wow, that means that it's the same machine that was at the very first location test at UCLA. LUCENTAI is one of my friends who won a Technika OST during the tournament, so he actually got a card early.
As for the bug with Closer, yeah, it has been noted already, and I would have thought that PM would have fixed it by now, but if they just shipped the machine straight to you guys without fixes (hence leaving the scores intact), they will probably fix it for the final release.
Has anyone tried Technical mode yet?
