Better late than never =P

Tada, the BM US Internet Ranking page

Though, don't submit your scores yet, wait until tomorrow, since it isn't working now, I think. <_<

EDIT: Because Tommorrow IS Today. (yeah, you can submit scores now.)

And I almost gave up hope that it would show up.

Edit: After searching for it on my own, I find it interesting that Konami didn't also put the link on the MIED site as well.

It's working. It just went up today; give them time to link it everywhere. Konami doesn't always do this stuff right away. I can't remember how long it took 10th CS to show up on the IIDX Gateway page; I remember having to go into the 9th page and change the 9 in the URL to a 10. XD

My uncle going to buy me the game over there at Portland OR. No Tax ... 59.99 hehe

Then going to tell my cousin to bring it down here when he visit on June 15th I might get it June 13th since some of my cousins coming down 2days apart with our grandparents. hehe...

I hope the games fun... I use the ps2 controller and I fail and suck.

So I just bought the game today.

I'd say the game is pretty nifty, this being the first chance I've ever had to play it. The turntable seems kinda stiff, but according to the first six pages I read of this thread, there's a way to fix that. So that's okay.

But is there a way one is "supposed" to play this? As in one hand for the turntable, and one for the keys? Or could I use both hands on the keys and just get myself to move quickly enough to the turntable?

I guess it would work. It would probably alleviate the cramp in my hand. x.x My middle finger stopped bending after an hour...

They probably will. I mean, it wasn't quite the commercial success that DDR or Guitar Hero were, but it was by no means a financial disaster. It's still a little early to say one way or another, but I'm pretty confident there will be another one.

w00t, Im starting to get better now!

Malice, you were right, the us version does need licenses. (Funkytown was the first song I passed on hyper, other than 5.1.1)

I heard that "use high speed" thing. Thinking it would make me better, so I cranked it up to HS3. Which was too fast for me. For weeks, I tried to pass V, colors, era, holic, and summer vacation on that speed. Then one day, it hit me, why not just turn down the speed? So now I play on HS1 and can at least B everything on beginner. But, im probably gonna have to change the speed again to play hyper/anothers

Need to pass about 4 more songs on Normal & I'll pass them all (Colors, Summer Vacation, Love Is Dreaminess, & others I can't think of). Also passed Mr. T on Hyper. Anyone know which Mr. T it's about?

For some reason, I had a wierd though of having "Baby Got Back" in BM......

First of all, Konami needs to wake up and fix the damned ratings. Love is Dreaminess Normal is harder than Snow Hyper. (If you can pass a decent amount of 5's, try Snow Hyper.)

Second, we need more difficulties. Seriously, there are like 8 6's.

i've passed just about all of the songs on beginner and now whenever i play them they're wayyyyy too easy for me, so now i'm trying everything on normal and hyper. man oh man snow whoopped my arse on normal and hyper, but the funny thing is i can pass in my eyes(a 5) era(nostalmix) (a 5) and a handful of fours, but the ending of MUSIC TO YOUR HEAD kills me!!! any tips on how to get through that part?

Love is Dreaminess [L7], a 5, is no where near as hard as Snow [7k], which is an 8.

Music To Your Head's ending is kinda dumb. I find it easier to roll my hand along with the synth line, using my index-middle-ring on my right hand to get most of the notes, and index-middle on the left to get the other ones. I'll make a video of that part to show you what I mean.

It's a good idea to find out what HS mod is comfortable for a particular BPM range, and work with that (The game has a handy feature that saves HS settings per song). Don't worry about jacking the HS up right away, just find what works best and go from there. Back when I first started, I only used HS4 on songs under 120bpm, now I put that on +180bpm songs rather naturally, and you'll find your comfort range soon enough.
