Beatmania/IIDX/III thread (baby you're solid GOLD)

Stop. This is becoming a flame war, and if it keeps going on like this, this topic goes the way of the Pissing Match thread.

If you're not impressed by someone's accomplishments, by all means, be unimpressed. But you don't have to say anything about it, nor do you have to be a jerk about it if you feel that you do need to say something.

People can post their accomplishments if they want. From 5.1.1. Light 7 to V Another. People have been posting less-than-impressive accomplishments in this thread for a long time now. Why is it suddenly a problem?

So I went to the arcade yesterday, 4th time playing iidx for me. I passed Bit Mania L7, and a few other 2, 3, and 4 star songs. I also full combo'd digital mind, which i was proud of

Well, its not much, i cant AAA anything, but i feel like im getting better slowly but surely

I'll throw this topic in the ring...

Is it just me or are the old club mix songs on IIDX 3rd Style CS just impossible to time right? I have such a hard time getting flashing greats on things like Gambol and e-motion... The difference is quite apparant to me when compared to the non-club mix songs in the game.

Anyone else notice this?

And since I'd actually like to have a small discussion regarding AAAs: I AAA-ed my first two songs recently: Comment te Dire Adieu L7 and Jelly Kiss L7. So it seems that if you're at a medium skill level like myself (I can beat a couple 7s) then the first song you might want to attempt a AAA on is Comment te Dire Adieu since it was mentioned once before. Its got a nice steady beat and easy to distinguish notes and patterns (like Jelly Kiss). It took me quite a bit of time to get Jelly Kiss though. I was 2 points away for the longest time and then all of a sudden I beat my score by 15. IIDX is such a strange game.

I'm going to ramble here since I've got nothing to do at work, so bear with me....

This is kind of my problem with Marvelous' in DDR though. It's something that is 'SO' exact, that elements like the ammount of space in between one particular sensor/key or sensor/arrow might affect your ability to get a Flashing Great/Great or Perfect/Marvelous. I have an easier time forgiving it IIDX than I do in DDR though. Probably most of you have come to accept the fact that sometimes you could get 80% flashing greats on one song attempt, and another attempt immediately afterward can get 60% flashing greats. It still just doesn't sit well with me though. It's odd when you're about 20-40 points away from a AAA on a IIDX song, then after 20 attempts, finally get the AAA.... only to not duplicate it for another 20-30 attempts. It's almost like I don't count it as being accomplished if I can't repeat it with SOME regularity. Yes, the key here is to figure out a way to achieve that consistency... but when you playing a game like DDR, how is that possible when there are factors like the quality of the pad sensors, or the depth of the indent that one particular arrow has compared to the others, or the 'give' or 'bounce' that a pad might have when it's put on a carpet rather than a hard floor? All these things are beyond your control and WILL affect your ability to get a Marvelou vs Perfect. I've seen people get wide ranges of Marv/Perf scores each time they play a nonstop or oni. When back in the 7th Mix days, there was much more consistency attainable with Perfects/Greats as the measuring stick.

I digress. I'm really just concerned if people have noticed that 3rd Style issue I mentioned at the beginning.

Word on e-motion and Gambol being messed up.
My combo is higher than my ex score on both of those songs right now. Its not me either. I'm close to a AA on EOTC(7) and I've AAA'd -SP- Trip Machine(7).

Does anyone not have this problem?

I second that. I played it today and thought what are all these greats doing here.

Whew.

I was thinking that maybe those 340bpm parts screwed up my timing. Good to know it's not me.

So, the timing issues on 9th Style... are they about that bad?

They are 360BPM not 340BPM.

Is the whole timing issue, a technical glitch in the game, or was it purposely done like in Beatmania(5 key) where some songs have harder timing than others?
