Nah. I'll just have to put my faith in the fact that there'll still be a card left for me on Sunday.

Or... ::sigh:: just send out another $8 on Monday.

If you really want it that badly, me or dan can get the card for you, and just pay either one of us back, plus you can finally meet me, the guy that put an almost impossible to beat remember score. =P

[KMasaki]

... I could've sworn I've met you before... maybe about two months ago or so. I didn't introduce myself, but it was probably one of the first one or two visits when you first played Technika.

If memory serves me right, it was that day with that annoying Staten Island kid raping Son of Sun. I noticed your tag on your Platinum Crew card... you failed Heartbeat TP.

... Anyways, if one of you guys would be so gracious, that would be fantastic. I'll definitely be over there tomorrow to pay you guys back.

Haven't played in a while, actually, so I am a bit overdue for a game or two.

[Pakachu]

Ahahaha I know exactly who you're talking about, haha that must have been a long time ago when I kept failing heartbeat. Cause its my best course now....i wonder why... But yeah we'll see what happens, are you stoping by tomorrow?

CBS just totatlly beat me up at the end.... Gonna try Shoreline next time I'm there...

How bout Core Sound and Heart Beat, what songs would be good to start with, I'm doing Mutu and Para Q, but keep losing on my 3rd song.

Divine Service and Play the Future for Heart Beat, once again whatever 3rd song I pick just keeps getting the best of me... damn I just need more time and monies to practice...

Oh finally reached Lover TP, and yeah I haven't passed Lover PP, so yeah it beat me up too...

[Spiritsnare]

Core Sound: Mutu/Coastal Tempo/Flea is my preferred.
- Mutu is relatively easy;
- Coastal Tempo TP is arguably easier than the PP because of the ending;
- Flea, once I got used to it, is actually not that bad.

Heartbeat: Divine Service / Remember / Melody
- Divine Service is the easiest chart of the bunch (also it's a really good song);
- Remember was tricky for me because of this particular pattern (I don't know why);

- Melody I play out of principle because it's such a good song (it's tricky at the end because of the claps).

So I tried Coastal Tempo TP today, and the ending completely pwned me. How is that easier than the PP?!?!? Unless I was doing the repeat taps backwards maybe, I timed it just like I do the PP and missed just about all of it.

If you're going for score, you'd want to do Blythe / Remember / Melody for the Heartbeat set. And you'd want to get Colors of Sorrow instead of Area7, which isn't a problem for me since I never do well enough on Melody to get Area7 haha.

I think it's easier because they're repeat taps and thus you don't have to concern yourself with moving your hands, but it's still to the exact same rhythm of the original chart.

Ah, just got home. I don't know what happened, but they gave me sunday and monday off at my job. I'll definitely be at the Break tomorrow/today when it opens.

Ah, so excited, haven't played Technika in so long... can't wait to see all the overwhelmingly high scores.

And they'd better have my card. >_<

Yeah, most of Stage 1 & 2 Pop have been S'd by now, or close to it. But we still only have 4 scores on Customizer

[Serika]

I really hope this will be THE week it comes back lol .___.

[KMasaki]

Just got back. They didn't have my card ;_; But I settled for Melody instead. A good second choice.

Goddamn, Dan, you guys totally destroyed the machine. I think I took just one record back (Love Mode, I think- and not by much). I either tied your S ranks or failed miserably short. The closest I got to your CBS score was 92k?

And Pakachu... I hate you. XD That Remember score is ridiculously high... I got 1 cool and 1 good on a hold and was still short by a thousand.

Btw, that Max percentage theory is a bust.

And somehow, after about the second or so play-through today of SSSS, the last part... finally clicked. I felt like such an idiot.

And now I can't pass Electro EP. Stupid Love Mode TM.

Rep that Melody.

Your report is getting me even more hyped up for Platinum Crew, as an aside.

Interesting bit of info I was told tonight. Apparently the retail cabinets will also contain an updated USA build that includes "songs not currently on the USA test machines." We're expected to get the update at 8otB in the form of a new HDD sometime this week... so much for our machine scores, lol.

Shipping is still supposed to be any day now, blame customs for the delay haha.

[bossanova] here is the moment /ruby tuesday

Once you do get the update, please do provide details I wonder whether or not we're going to get exclusive songs...

Also, I'm starting to be convinced that the reason why it's been in customs for all eternity is because they're playing the game ("okay, testing out each cabinet ♪")

[Pakachu]

And it might fix out scoring problem finally and get the same scores the korean people get. That would explain it now.
