V [a] 5 key what?

you can only play it on 7 or 14 key..unless the simulator allows 5 key [a] play.
wow .59 [a] is really easy compared to alot of other 6 star [a]..easy meaning passable for me...heh...

Hey these questions go out to anyone that has access to IIDX 8th Style. I'm going to play today so I would like to know:

1. What are some good 7 star songs, possibly some easy flashing 7's?
2. How do you change difficulty after you initially choose?
3. How do you add the modifiers?

Thanks in advance

ARGH! Who knew so many IIDX players were in the vicinity of Westland, MI? I went there to play the new 8th Style (by the way, it's kinda screwed up: the screen is all bouncy, and the videos won't play

), and I had to wait freaking

45

minutes to play once. And that was it. That's all I got to play the freaking thing because they started some weird way of deciding who plays.

RARGH oh yeah, I think I suck now because I failed Y31 (the second 7* I cleared). Maybe having the difficulty on 6th Style on 1 isn't such a good idea after all...

Now I'm probably gonna wait another month to go back to AFC because then not as many people will be playing. Using that time, I can sharpen my IIDX skillz more!

hi, I got 6th Style two weeks ago. I've passed all the L7's finally (freakin' Safari, arrgh!), and on 7-Key I've passed all the 5's and below, most of the 6's (I think I have five or six left there), and four 7's (Flowtation, Route 80's, Absolute, and Presto... but Presto was on Random, blaaahhh). A lot of stuff is still destroying me, so it makes me wonder...

You see, I went into IIDX with a little bit of 5-Key experience. Not THAT much mind you, I'd play it at a relatively out-of-the-way arcade maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I could pass some 6-stars on Hard, but nothing TOO difficult. The important thing about this though is that it accustomed me to playing with the turntable on the right side, buttons on the left (I actually tried Center mode on it once or twice and did horribly). I see that a lot of people play 1P side on IIDX... presumably because the majority of people are right-handed and are more comfortable hitting the notes with their right hand. I'm right handed too, my left hand isn't quite as proficient as hitting everything.

It makes me wonder if I should attempt to start playing on 1P side instead, but... I just can't! Just reading the notes with the turntable on the left side throws me off completely and I hit a lot of wrong keys, even on easy songs. And for some reason, scratching with my left hand just feels so.... odd. How many other right-handed people play 2P side? Over time does your left hand just eventually "learn" to handle fast streams of notes at times when you need to use your right hand to scratch multiple times? (I never would have passed Route 80's without the magic of pinky scratching.) Is there anyone that's actually equally proficient and can play either side and get comparable scores?

Just curious...

Grr... being stuck playing on keyboard sims sucks. After being away from any arcade IIDX all summer, when I came back to the arcade, I couldn't even pass Brightness Darkness [A] because I kept missing the keys during all those double-presses at the end. I just hit in totally the wrong place every time. And I kept using the wrong fingers for drumrolls and screwing them up, too.

*sigh* At least I almost passed Regulus. ...almost.

DJ King- The Big Voyager [a] and Something Wonderful [a] are almost the same, if not easier, than their 7 key counterparts.

I got an A on e-motion 7 keys

But you only use keys 1-5 on the song.

Wow I just got through playing some more 6th Style, after I changed the difficulty to 3 (I'm assuming that's the diffculty that the 8th Style machine at AFC is on), and I DON'T SUCK! At first I tried an easy song (19, November) and A'ed it. So then I did Bluberry Stream, cam very close to A'ing that too. Then I moved on to Nemesis, the most recent flashing 7* I cleared. I ended with a 74%, but half the time on difficulty 1 I failed it anyway. After that I move on to V, and I ended with a 90% and a C. Maybe I was more used to the Konami Official Controller when I went to play 8th Style. It felt kinda weird playing it anyway.

That is weird...I was finally able to pass Presto (82%

) and I tried Blueberry Stream again to see if it was a fluke, and I passed with a little better D...B4U though...the turn tables are killing me..and Night of Fire...don't get me started on that...it took me forever to pass it consistantly on L7 in order to get the unlock...grr..
And The Strong Jaeger...I pulled a B out of nowhere on it for 7K...I was shocked..

QDX's recommend for doing Something Wonderful [a] turned out good..while the other song was horrible

well isn't this odd, I thought Blueberry Stream was tough but last night I managed to pass it on the third attempt. awesome. also finally got through the end of Y31 with enough bar to pass.

And then after not playing The Strong Jaeger for a couple days (I failed it with 76% a few days ago), I managed to pass it on the first attempt of the night.... but with a very dismal D.

after I'd failed it with a C numerous times.... blah. My timing wasn't completely off though, I managed to AA a few more songs on L7... up to about 21 AA's there, nothing special compared to the people AAA'ing 7-star songs but I'm happy with any score increases...

P.S. I can't pass Night of Fire either. ;( I see the pattern, I just can't do it. I should probably whore it in Training Mode tonight until I get it down. I was close to passing Love is Dreaminess last night too, but lost it in the craziness at the end...
