Yeah Kyle, it was cool meeting you. You're brave to start playing IIDX on 7Keys...it took me forever to adjust from L7 to 7Keys. Also try:
Remember You
Higher
Love Will... (not that bad, is it? I've never played it)

While we're on the subject of songs to try, can anyone suggest some easier 7 stars or flashing 7s? (Preferably from 6th CS, 5th CS and/or 8th Style arcade) I've already passed Presto, Flowtation, Five Regrets, route 80s, Buffalo and Holic, but I seem to be stuck there.

I think Kyle said that he's not going to play L7....which makes it hard for himself.

And yes, The Strong Jaeger is evil.

I only passed that once on Random.

Songs like Route 80s, B4U, and Spin The Disc have never been a problem for me because scratching isn't too much of a big deal since I play one handed. Pull out a song like Checking You Out, and that's a different story.

I'm now starting to go under the symptoms of IIDX addiction. I've been having these dreams of scrolling notes. Has anyone ever experienced this symptom of IIDX addiction? It's similar to when I was going under symptoms of DDR with the scrolling arrows. I think that I'll be going to SVGL some more Saturdays, but only on certain Saturdays. Other Saturdays, I have exhibition matches at Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments at a local card shop.

I once dremt I nailed a 1600+ combo on V [A] but it had different notes. And I failed it.

As for the strong jaeger, is it just me, or are the songs in 6th style home version that have orange titles a lot harder than their difficulty levels denote? Besides changes and stick around, the rest seem to be really difficult.

I don't remember much trouble with new songs on 6th Style, but I know the home version unlocks always gave me trouble on 5th Style. Something Wonderful and Love is Dreaminess in particular slapped me around even when I was doing songs 1 star higher.

I'm looking at the results screen and the note count seems to be 1519.

edit: On a side note, DXY! can blow me. Something about the way the notes are set up prevents me from ever passing it without using Mirror. I think I failed 10 or so times in a row. Ugh...

What's the most amazing IIDX feat you've ever witnessed (not counting tatsujin vids)? This weekend I went to the arcade and there were 2 girls waiting to play in front of me. They played a 2 player game, most ridiculous set I've ever seen. They both AAed Holic [A]... while carrying on a conversation!! I felt pretty stupid following them (although the Amuseum's original Akira Yamaoka course was pretty cool). They also had 6th style on their style of the week machine, and some guy AAAed Fantasy [A] with like 193,000 points. He was using auto scratch, but it was still kind of impressive. I don't understand why you would use autoscratch when you're that good.

For whoever asked for easy 7s on 8th style, there are a ton of them. In no particular order...

Monkey Dance
Last Message
Happy Wedding
Love Me Do
9 O'clocks (watch out for that ending)
Ave de rapina
Aoi Shoudou
ICF 5800
Drivin'
Route 80s
Starmine (dunno why they made it a 7)
War Game
Star Dream
Bring Her Down
Buffalo
etc. etc.

The easiest flashing 7s are probably Xenon and Colors eurobeat.

I was finally able to AA something in IIDX, Yesterday L7. It may not sound like much, but it's an accomplishment for me. Maybe I'll be able to move on to some harder 6's on 7K, 'cause I'm already getting A's on most 5's and some 6's.

~Peace~

Okay, so I just passed V [7]. It took me a while, but I figured it out, and I passed with something like 88% or so. (It and B4U are the only flashing 7s I can pass on 6th style home, and I'm working on Colors.)

On the other hand, I still can't pass a lot of non-flashing sevens, such as QQQ, Holic, etc. Is my skill progression weird, or are there a lot of people who do well on "technique"-type songs but screw up on "random note-mashing" songs?

EDIT: I'm also getting killed by a lot of "easier" flashing 7s like Summer Vacation, etc.
