was there tonight. Got a AA on Twelfth Style [A] finally. Thought I saw some people from Bemanistyle there but wasn't sure. Still waiting on DD(perhaps if you wait till January, you can get GOLD instead, DJP?) and V3.

i have much hope for gold as well.

Well, doesn't Alex have your PnM desktop controller? :P Since you can't practice at home, this means you should come to AI more often

Well, I'll be heading there right now for about an hour or two for some DrumMania.

Say hi if you see me--I'll be wearing a striped pink shirt, jeans, checkered Vans, and possibly a brown blazer if it's a little cold around Rowland Heights.

Hey, is the Beatmania IIDX screen supposd to have those awkward colors? I've never played IIDX in the arcade before, but, when I played at AI it was really hard to decipher the difference between blue and grey notes. I couldn't even beat a level five song because of it. Maybe I'm just not accustomed to the screen.

I asked this one guy who was doing well at IIDX if he thought the screen was messed up at all, and he just shook his head. Kind of a dick, too, haha, (he was chubby and wearing a doorag/hat and Ecko clothing) and when my friend went up to the screen with me, he just pushed all the buttons for us (up to where it says pick "Standard" "Expert" etc) without saying a word.

But yeah, it was disappointing to see I couldn't even tell the difference between the notes. Oh well, I'll try again later.

DJ DIVINE!? REALLY!? · 12-30-2006, 07:07 PM

thanks, i like being a dick with the iidx machine ;]

you'll just have to get used to the bruised TV. at least the blue notes arent white to begin with... theyre green.

you had your hi speed setting ridiculously high for the song. i actually thought you were asking about the scroll speed.

Brycey · 12-30-2006, 08:28 PM

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS YOU!??! Hahaha wow sorry I'm the true asshole here. Never would have thought you would post here. Guess it's a small world, even if I'm on the California forum.

Yeah, I thought we were going to play a 150 BPM song, but then we were going to play Jam, and my friend loves that song(we were just playing that in the car) and I forgot the BPM was like 200+. I thought I could pull a high speed selection thing down like in Bemani Red CS, but, that was a negative.

How did you get so good? Just playing the arcade machine a lot, or do you have a PS2 + pad? The highest I can beat is like V on hard, which is like a 10/12, and it's not very consistent.

Edit: just read one of your past posts about HS CS. I have yet to...acquire it...but I hope I can improve myself with it more then Red. I never really got into it, but play 10th tons.

DJ DIVINE!? REALLY!? · 12-30-2006, 08:59 PM

brycey: i rarely post on threads other than this one... im just really curious when they'll get DD back up in AI.

yeah thats one of the things i dont like about HS AC. hi-speed is only up to 4.0 and you cant change it during the song.

i suggest you set a standard hi-speed for songs that are around 145-160 bpm. then for every 20 bpm or so increase/decrease hi-speed as you see fit.

i started playing at AI not too long ago, maybe a year now. i started playing at home a while before that. only thing that you have to adjust between home and arcade is probably the turntable.

but i digress. i really dont wanna go back until they get DD back up or GOLD ;]

i'd say 10th style is a pretty good disc to improve yourself on.

Brycey · 12-31-2006, 05:53 PM

Yeah, I usually have at least high speed 2 on any song. Songs like Love Shine, which I think is around 180BPM, I leave on HS2 usually, maybe 2.5.

I haven't read the rest of the thread, but I was assuming Distorted would be there for play. When they update, they keep the same screen, huh? Just a matter of software change?

I probably won't go back until Distorted or Gold. I came from Burbank, which is like a forty minute drive.

Yes, Guitar Freaks V2 was down when I was there on December 29. Unfortunately, I don't live in the in the area (I was actually on vacation in Los Angeles with my family - my home and my college are both in Illinois). So, as of two days ago, it was down, but you will have to ask someone else (or check yourself) if you want a more recent update.

DJ DIVINE!? REALLY!? · 01-01-2007, 01:02 PM

GF is still down, DM = V2 and IIDX = HS as of new year's eve.

don't ask why i was there. ;]

Deadbolt · 01-01-2007, 02:45 PM

Well, I'm going there today for some SN and V2. Hope to see some of you there.

Deadbolt · 01-01-2007, 05:26 PM

Wearing salmon polo and black jeans

Hope people reconize the girl in a cute (and rare) shirt, black hair and carry a red backpack with a Minit's picture in it and buttons.

I came today (New Years) and played one game of SuperNOVA, plenty of Pop'n Music and some Beatmania IIDX Happy SKy. (I dont' care about DisorteD for now since I am still a half-noob in-training.)

Pop'n play was so-so today, but for those who came from around 1:20 PM to like 4, you might reconize me. I even screamed "Taima-Kun!". XD

Remind you last time i'm am a Bemani Otaku. XD
