DJ Max Technika

[KMasaki]

Damn, is First Step still tripping you up? XD I'll try to stop by either saturday or sunday for some more TM playing. I'm really hooked; I can't stop talking about the game at work (of which, because I'm a cook, my coworkers simply roll their eyes at me).

Hopefully there'll be some sort of contest like the ones in Cali ^_^

[Dan.]

Yeah I haven't experimented with the different wipe settings yet, but that should help me get through that ending part on WhiteBlue anyway if I need it. Same with Lover.

Song 4 of First Step, ah man I was so close to passing it Sunday. I'll get it next time for sure, same with the Normal level course.

[Spiritsnare]

Yeah, Come to Me tripped me up the first time I got to it, too, haha. I likewise recommend using Right Wipe with it, but if you're close to beating it without it, that's pretty commendable :3

[Dan.]

Noticed a decent amount of people came to check out Technika this weekend, so that was pretty cool. Sup to whoever I met Saturday.

Far as my progress goes, only Pop songs I have left to clear are WhiteBlue and ShiningShootingStar. Passed the first two technical courses, the two 'hard' sets are really tough at the end so mostly working on Customizer atm ><

EDIT: Videos I recorded from Friday (all on Pop difficulty):
Beast1x5 - Play the Future
Dan. - Keys to the World
Dann - Oblivion (face mode)
Hair - Freedom
Hair - Honeymoon
Hair - How to play
Pakachu - How NOT to play
Pakachu - Love Mode

Yeah, funny thing happened on Saturday night- that one dude from Pennsylvania got Lover as the final random song in First Step, not Come To Me. He caught on really quick (he told me he's only been playing since that morning O_O) and did really well that set, so my guess is that the final random is performance based (Overall A grade for the set = different final random?).

And it cost me about four dollars in tries, but I FINALLY passed I Want You TM last night. Fun song, but some of those charts really could benefit from me changing the wipe.

Great videos, Dan. Thanks for upping them It makes me miss Technika even more :<

The last song is not random; it's just hidden - because it is, indeed, performance-based. The quota is not an A, but 95% MAX over the course of the first three stages.

On First Step, it gives you Lover [HD];
On Electro, it gives you Electronics [HD];
and so on and so forth. I won't spoil the rest unless you want me to.

Ahhh, I did not know this. Very interesting. Guess I need to play that Electro course again.

So let me guess, if I get to stage 4 of Customizer with <95% MAX i'll get Son of Sun, but with 95% the last song will be SIN instead?

Yup, that's correct.

The funny thing is that supposedly Son of Sun gives out more score than the alternative so people have to fuck up enough ideally without losing bar (good/cool attack) to get to it!

PM Studios will be showing the updated (presumably final) build of Technika at ASI Vegas next week. I was told last night that we should have the update at 8otb soon after the show ends, in case anyone was wondering about that.

Also, I don't know many DJMax PSP players are around here, but me and two friends are planning to be at the break this Friday night (3/13) for ad-hoc battles. We'll be using Portable 2 since we all own that one, so bring a legit copy or else you may not be able to connect.

Oh my god, this is wonderful, wonderful news.

When they're done with that machine, I want them to send it straight to SVGL.

March SP charts have been released.
- In My Heart SP
- Divine Service SP
- I Want You SP

I Want You SP is actually the RD from Black Square.

[Dan.]

There's a video somewhere on youtube of the new charts, In My Heart looked fun.

How are these new charts playable anyway, via platinum room? I'm still hoping for some way to select HD/MX charts in Pop mode for the final version, will have to see I guess.

I think that is also supported, since I've seen Korean videos of presumably Pop mode, with a difficulty selector under the disc images.
