DJ Max Technika - Page 55

could anyone make a pattern chart of Get Down?

Oh and the Night Stage

by the way, I haven't played Technika yet. I'm hope for a machine in Missouri some where close to where I live (probably be in cape Giradeau, Missouri, what are the chances of that happening?)

Once I get my Technika Card ready/play for the first time, what do you reccomend?

should I go ahead and play Technical Mixing? or play around in Popular Mixing?

how sensitve is the touch screen?

very sensitive, loose clothing can and will activate the screen. You may want to play a round of pop to get acclimated before going for technical (although first step is not too hard)

Pop?! I'd say slow down, start with at least a game of Lite unless you're really confident in your rhythm gaming skills.

^ Seriously. There aren't really any easy songs in Stage 3 of Pop, I'd highly recommend doing at least one game in Lite mode when you first start.

For Technika cards, so, I've heard that if you put a fresh card in a test build machine then try using it in a final build, it won't work, but does this follow backwards as well? If you buy a Technika card and put it in a final build, will it not work for test builds?

I know Platinum Crew isn't out in the US yet, but is it possible to at least access missions in the US machines?

Spiritsnare · 07-15-2009, 01:41 AM

Nope. Can't have one feature (missions) without the other (PlatCrew).

There's some easy enough songs in Stage 3 Pop. Y, Clear Blue Sky (if you know the song), Cherokee, and Fate are all reasonable. Cherokee is a little fast, but Fate and Y are both repetitive patterns. Lite is really too stupid easy for someone who's been studying the game before playing it, IMO. (Although this is coming from a guy who was uber cocky when he first played the game at location testing lol, take it with a grain of salt)

Clear Blue Sky probably has to be the easiest of the Stage 3 bunch.

Honestly, I'm still iffy about playing several songs on Stage 3, and if I get some sort of amazing score on the first two stages, Clear Blue Sky is the immediate choice.

Hahah Remember the location test at svgl?? It was so intimidating to play on lite so you end up playing on pop and...

BOOM UR PRO JUST LIKE THAT xD... lol

I've seen a number of examples of newbie death for each and every song (PP charts) you cite, particularly at AX, but even at the SVGL location test.

Fate: Kills people who are thrown off by the alternating singles/chords.
Clear Blue Sky: If the rapid beats don't kill the bar, the chain notes right after usually do.
Cherokee: As mentioned before, the speed saps life.
Y: I lost to it the first time I played it, on the last note of the song. This sounds pretty positive, until I mention that I shadowed it a lot beforehand

On the other hand, mileage will vary a lot between players; there will be people who instantly click with the game and can pass Sweet Shining Shooting Star on their first or second try, people who think that repeat tap notes involve holding down the first note and tapping the bars (and thus fail First Kiss this way - this literally did happen at AX), and people inbetween, who take a few bites out of Lite before stepping it up and performing admirably at Pop/Tech.

tl;dr I don't think Lite should be underestimated. Yes, it's easy, but sometimes easy is needed.

I remember playing pop my first try and failing miserably on 2nd stage to Dear My Lady. XD **** that song.

m-robo · 07-15-2009, 06:31 AM

That song sucks.

Empathy · 07-15-2009, 08:30 AM

Yes it does. It can go to hell for all I care. They should make a joke Lv. 9 SP chart for it some day. (but under rate it as a 5)

KMasaki · 07-15-2009, 08:30 AM

I really don't know why Dear My Lady is a 3. During the location tests, SO many people would fail on that song, just because they thought "oh, it's the first song in the second set, it's only 3-star difficulty, can't be THAT bad-"

And then they fail about twenty seconds in. Yeah, you know the part.

The problem is that a lot of the songs in the difficulties, like DJMP's button modes, are pro-rated. A 4 on 4B is not a 4 on 6B. Consequently, a 1-star on Lite is not a 1-star on Pop, nor a 1-star on Tech.

Unless you're ridiculously confident, I'd play a round or two of Lite. If you can pass CBS or Play the Future, move on to Pop. Even I started on Lite the first time around (if only to play To You XD)
