>that accuracy and speed

That almost doesn’t seem humanely possible. At some point you have to wonder if that’s even fun any more?

>>What’s your favorite rhythm vidya

I aint too picky although I do have a preference for rhythm games on handhelds.

>Elite Beat Agents and Rhythm Tengoku on DS

>the DJMAX, Taiko Tatsujin and Hatsune Miku games as well as Gitarooman Lives! on PSP

>IA/VT, Project Diva f, Taiko Tatsujin V and Taiko Idolmaster, Superbeat Xonic on Vita

>>how high in difficulty can you go?

On Miku and Taiko games, Hard is far I can go and even then I can get wrecked on this difficulty if the note inputs appear in very quick succession in fast-paced songs. The problem is that lowering the difficulty by one end up making the track too easy for me.

Pump it Up is breddy fun, especially the fact that the charts are carefully made so you have to switch your feet to hit consecutive arrows. I could play up to Single 19 songs on pad. Anything above 11-12 requires not being in shape. Double Performances are really fun too (Pumptris 8-bit ver). too bad all machines I know at least 1 busted sensor and a single credit is 1.50 dollarydoos.

I always hated DDR because they charged extra for doubles play, and their charts were awkward as fuck and often violated the one foot per step rule. Thankfully Stepmania and ITG showed Konami how shit their DDR crap was.

Whats the draw in literally pressing buttons fast and accurately? I can tell that yes it probably does require something special, but the gookclick thing is meant to be a derisive joke, not a challenge.

I'm just calling what I see. I genuinely don't understand.

>>16406676

>Whats the draw

<helps you develop a sense of rhythm and coordination, and fitness (mostly dancepad games)

<fun way to compete (especially rhythm games with multiplayer interactions; fuck tourneyfags and their non-interactive score battles that depend on max combo)

<fun co-op multiplayer (multiplayer charts in some games)

<provides a fun challenge (some games have mission modes with fun gimmicks like mirrored charts, turn around all song). hell, Pump It Up has DJ Max and DDR spoofs

Unironically the Rock Bands that started bringing in big name metal artists to make custom songs. Devin Townsend made a Ziltoid song that fucks with the game animations and it was fantastic.

loved Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock, impulse bought the whole set when it first came out and wasn't disappointed, played the drums while my friend played on the guitar bc I could never figure that shit out

sometimes we had my little brother or my sister who usually hated on vidya sing on some of the funnier tracks like how you remind me by nickleback or queen bohemian raphadosy, it's one of my fondest gayming memories tbh playing a true game and not slouching over some cinematic bullshit in the back

game has a lot of good songs like black widow of la porte or chemical warfare but I had the most fun playing deadfall by snot, broke a cymbal getting 97% on expert

Anything higher than hard is too intense for me.

Vocaloid has a massive variety of genres that uses it. The games have decent variety, but they don't even begin to show off what is out there. If you like cuhrayzee then you'll love Future Tone, it's a whole different level of hard compared to the other games, which makes it even more satisfying to get gud at.

>robo waifus

They aren't robos though.

>>16407448

Huh, you know, with the neon lights on their costumes and the synthetic voices I figured that was their gimmick. That’s good to hear about future tone though. The physical DX copy was about 20 dollars more than the American digital copy but considering how censor crazy Sony has been I figured it would be best to get it on disc.

>>16406715

ENGLISH RELEASE OF FTDX WHEN

>>16407485

Physical is good. Not really much to censor in these games though, other than the swimsuits I guess. I still do worry about the future of the series, with how Sony is going anything could happen, and I don't want Diva to go away since it's such an amazing series. I doubt it will get affected but who knows.

>>16407506

>not already knowing Japanese

Get to studying. Although the menus would be easy to navigate even if you didn't know the language, as long as you were familiar with the games a bit.

>>16407611

importing the japanese ftdx is like $80+ shipping

Etterna and Sound Voltex mostly but ive been getting into Beatmania recently aswell.

>>16406543

>Future Tone

>Hard

That shit is baby tier, and I say that as someone who's only recently getting consistent perfects on the higher star rated Hard difficulty songs and playing around more with Extreme and ExExtreme.

Honestly, F2nd is probably the hardest Project Diva game - and even that is a cake walk compared to the Miku song packs available for StepMania.

>>16406481

Favorite is probably Future Tone, but the whole Project Diva series is pretty fun. Been playing a bit of Taiko Drum Master as well, but that shit gives me vertigo if I play too long from the constant visual stream from right to left so I can only handle normal mode consistently.

Beat Saber is alright, but I got the shitty PS4 version because I'm broke and it's VR helmet is cheap, so I don't get the fun song packs. I can perfect K/DA PopStars on Hard mode with the speed multiplier - but I've stalled in campaign mode because of those fucking disappearing arrows.

Wish they had Chunithm at Round 1.

>>16407682

Fucked up my post.

That shit looks fun, but she's missing a lot. I figure it's a girl playing since not a lot of guys have baton skills like that - but whoever's doing that is not autistic enough to keep practicing until she has a perfect to show off like a guy would. Still impressive.

Also, I want that Double Lavis Cannon saber model.

Wished the buttons actually worked at my arcade or they made a specialized controller for Steam.

Konami's recently made a handful of medleys for their 50th Anniversary. Currently there's an 80s collection, a 90s collection, one on a Tokimeki Memorial ED, and this BEMANI medley of their original lineups

The only Rythem game i'm really good at is OSU, despite the fact i hate a lot of the modern conventions of the game.

I can easily pass 6 star maps, 7 star is where i lose my shit, that and anything above AR 10.

I can stream but it's still a massive pain in the ass on the more stamina heavy maps.

Project diva is also great, i enjoy it but I'm absolute shit at it.

I can't even do hard difficulty. The only Project diva I've ever been able too complete was the 3ds games, which are much easier then the normal games since it caters to my OSU damaged brain.

>>16406504

It really isn't, the most fun maps on osu are the pre 2012 maps using a older skin like that from the original 2008 client.

The common practice in OSU community is to play for shitty good goy points, so modern maps tend to revolve around grinding as many good goy points as possible. So almost all of the niggers who play OSU only play it to get these points so they can remain in the top digits instead of playing for fun.

>>16407786

I want to play this but i can't pirate it because it has some bizarre shitty drm.

>>16407682

Wait until you get into the 9+ star extremes, FT gets way harder than F2.

>>16408006

I dunno, once you get the multi-holds down to the point where you can easily recognize them it seems to get a lot easier, especially with controller macros - but I've never been able to properly get a handle on those damned rapid-fire double-hold arrow switchups on F2nd. If they're sequential, or nearby, that's fine - but when you're swapping left/right & up/down and mixing in non-sequential single presses in to it - that's when I completely lose it.

Plus, if you count them - F2nd has user-made songs/charts, which just opens the floodgates to masochism/autism as people are constantly trying to make impossible songs and challenging others to try to beat them.

>>16408069

>controller macros

Literally cheating.

I don't consider user made songs when thinking of the difficulty of the games, only official charts. If you include them then yes those are the hardest. I don't think they should be compared against the official charts though.

>>16408131

>Literally cheating

You can call it a scrub tactic (I would), but it's not cheating since the mechanism to make those multi-hold macros is baked into the game and their use is promoted.

>>16408144

Yeah, I know it's part of the game. I think they are a bit silly though so I don't use them, not that I haven't wanted to at times.

>favorite rhythm vidya

DDR

>how high in difficulty can you go?

I mostly play level 14-15 as a baseline, but I've cleared some 17s

>favorite song from a rhythm game

Paranoia Revolution, Midnite Blaze, Flash in the Night. Too bad the 2nd one's gone after Extreme and the 3rd one is DDRMAX only.

Reminder that Wowaka died earlier this month of heart failure in his sleep at the age of 32.

I'm still into Rock Band and my friends make fun of me when I try to get them to play. It is suddenly very depressing realizing it's been almost ten years since I've actually been able to get them to play with me. I guess I should have learned a real instrument, as they say.

Anyway, hopefully by the end of the year I'll be able to afford a not shit computer, because I assume there's some knockoff Guitar Hero/Rock Band that I can play on that. Or if I can play it on my five year old laptop, let me know. Last I looked into it was probably a very long time ago, but I found a bunch of stuff for Guitar, but not for the other instruments or vocals. I don't know if you guys count vocals as "rhythm games," but singing while playing plastic instruments takes your mind off of what a retard you look like while you play. Also, I think I have become significantly better at singing.

What's that one game that uses a real guitar? And not the super expensive special one they tried to sell with Rock Band 3. *Which I would have gotten if I could actually find one. I got the MIDI adapter so I could use a real keyboard on Rock Band 3 and that was cool. And the drums are pretty much like real drums. Is there some program that does the entire band from Rock Band, including vocals? Ideally including keyboard and real guitar, too.

>>16412655

>Rocksmith?

Yeah that was it. I gotta check that out. I assume there are people putting custom tracks out there for it too. But I still want a game that combines it with the vocals from Rock Band or something similar. I know there are plenty of other games with vocals, but does anyone do custom vocal tracks for games like these? And in the same game as the other instruments? That's what I'm looking for.

Just beat all of Project Diva’s songs on normal and working through hard now. Odds & Ends was a fucking great song and easily my favorite of the bunch.

>>16412354

That sucks, Worlds End Dancehall was one of the best in the game with a cool music video to boot. I had a heart scare last month myself that thankfully turned out to be nothing, but since then I’ve been regularly working out and eating right. The guy was only a bit older than I’m sure most of us are. Remember to take care of yourselves.

I can do any 8 star oni, but I still can't get many 9 stars. I think that's my skill ceiling tbh, seems like just memorization at that point rather than sightreading and I don't have a chink brain

>>16415685

Angel Dream is a good pick. They did a good job on some of those Namco Originals, but I think my favorite at the moment is probably Gimmie Chocolate. I'm terrible at it, but it's fun to play. Tsunagare! Hirogare! Uchiagare! is also really fun.

>>16415763

Oh I like that one from the Switch version. I much prefer the 3ds/switch ones as opposed to the ps4, the controller is much harder to go fast with. I really miss playing the arcade version, but the only place that would possibly have it is the Round One near me and they don't

>>16415763

Sounds like a machine gun.
