Another noob question

In Lunatic Rave is it possible to fail songs DDR-style? No matter how badly I do the song just keeps going. How do I get it so that it fails me and ends the song when I do too badly? =)

Thanks again!

Uhh, IIDX doesn't work like that. It will autofail you after you miss 40 notes but that's just because it assumes you gave up

If you play with the hard mod enabled you'll get a DDR-style groove gauge, but as the name implies, it's harder

Only Arcade IIDX auto-fails you, and that's after exactly 50 notes of not trying at all.

And Hard life bar in Lunatic Rave 2 can fail you after 8 misses (which were not all complete miss poors), so its Survival life bar is far more strict than IIDX's Hard bar that requires 10 complete misses to fail you.

yeah I'm not familiar enough with LR2 to know if it autofails you (well now I do), but I could have sworn in IIDX it was 40 notes

I remember trying to listen to what Mei [A] sounded like without any of the played keysounds (for some reason I didn't feel like getting the BMS or booting up HS or DD CS) and I remember seeing exactly 50 notes.

Also, before the topic creator tries it due to survival being too hard, P.Attack penalizes for auto-kills for goods or lower, and G.Attack penalizes (very harshly) for anything that isn't a Good.

Thanks for all the replies guys - Lunatic Rave is a bit intimidating - I don't know what type of mode to play. There's, survival, groove, and a few others. Which is the 'standard'? Is there such a thing?

I guess it's a good thing it doesn't autofail because I'm sucking. Badly.

Groove is the standard life bar, Survival is the (near-)equivalent of Hard clearing, Death is the equivalent of Hazard (no misses allowed) life bar, Easy decreases the amount you lose, but doesn't seem to increase how much you gain, P/G-Attack were explained in my previous post.
