Do courses give you a "rush" feeling when you're playing em?

[MagnetiX]

Iono, maybe it's just the medicine I took, but playing Expert or Dan Courses seem to have a "holy shit, if you fuck up, it's over" feeling, compared to Arcade or Free Mode.
Does this happen to anyone else, or should I really stop doing crack?

[blodiaspike]

i feel the same, and in fact, i play better :P

[WiLLiSTER]

Yea, I tend to try a little harder in courses, since the overall score depends on how you do on all the songs, not just one.

But yea, get off that crack xD

I do worse in courses, because the lifebar is so easy. When I know I could stop playing the song for a good 5-6 measures or so, I tend not to pay attention.

[Monster in a box]

Courses? Definitely not. Dan courses? Sometimes. Well, really the only time I remember that happening was the dan course in 8th where there's a big songlist, and you get 4 random songs out of it. I remember almost making it through Guidecca in that course, despite the fact that I had only played it once prior, and got well over 200 misses. That was cool.

I tend to do well in Courses also, but since people are with me, i'm still gonna be on crack.

Some people say that expert courses are the only real way to see a player's skill.

You know, considering it's a line of songs... you'd have to be really lucky 4-5 times in a row just to prevent that... chances are slim of that happening.

But yeah, I don't really feel anything different. The same old anger when I screw up, the same old everything. No overall AAA on an expert course is just as irritating as missing the overall AAA on a song. :/ It's all the same to me.

Define 'rush'.

Something like "Oh my God man, I can't screw up or I am completely farked!"

or:

"Oh my God man, it's like Arcade mode without as many choices!"





....personally, I like courses. Granted I can't handle some of them, I do find the 'boss rush' stylings both challenging and enjoyable. In Pop'n, I play courses more than I play Challenge mode some days.

Hmmm, I guess i'd define "rush" as

"Oh fuck, I got a 1500 combo, if I fuck up, all that would have gone down the drain"

or

"My gauge takes longer to build, and it goes down more, so if I fuck it all up, I gotta work even harder"

That kind of thing, and on top of that, there's just some courses where you're pretty much worn out by the last song, that if you fail, that's it, it's over, you gotta do the whole thing over again, y'know?

No it doesn't. Course gauges go down so slowly.

[DJ JON]

Not in dani mode. In dani mode the guage goes down just as fast as in a normal song, but increases much much slower.

Honestly... playing ranking courses or expert courses doesn't really bother me or affect my gameplay, however... When I'm playing a song with a HARD lifebar... That sometimes changes my attitude if I'm trying to clear a song like Gigadelic or Sasoribi.

Oh, iono, in Expert mode, I turn on Hard so it kills off my bar pretty quick.
Dan Mode, it does go down slower, but I wouldn't really know, i've only cleared 2nd Dan...then again, i'm too lazy.

I usually play courses with Hard.
