15 months later....

New IIDX Arcade release forthcoming and the release of IIDX Infinitas happened so I was dead wrong on this. Too bad it's not worth it to get it to work outside of Japan currently, otherwise I'd buy a maxed out Real Edition Double from (https://www.gamo2.com/en/index.php?disp ... uct_id=323 has stateside shipping.) and mainly focus on playing 14 keys. I'll re-evaluate this though for the holidays potentially.

God, I would rather die than start playing 14-keys. Like, I'm sure it's fun and all and no one plays it here in the US so you'd be a special snowflake but I can't imagine the time you'd need to sink into 14-keys to get even remotely close to decent at it. 7-keys is hard enough as it is and people sink years of playtime into that and not even come close to clearing the hardest shit.

Like, going back to Light-14 after playing 7-key Anothers would just be so God damn boring and I'd feel like a cripple the entire time while I was trying to learn 14-key.

[Ho]

I <3 14-key. I'd rather be mediocre at 14 key than awesome at 7-key.

It didn't take me too long to adapt to 14 keys when I did try to play it back in 2007 and it did actually help me improve my scores on 7 keys, but each person is different. There are a few players, but you are right that like DDR's double play it wasn't really embraced by that many people.

Expect some new scores soon....

Generally I am getting 94-96% EX range on Infinitas on anything rated 3-6 and it's obvious I have to do some work to be able to hard clear 11s comfortably again.

Also..... this happened. (I never thought I would live to see the day where I would AAA Gambol Hyper, but then again the same was true for Donald Trump winning the presidential election so what do I know?)

Double:
4th Dan on Infinitas and 5th Dan on Copula have been cleared.

Single:
Of all of my current unlocks, all but two songs rated 8 and under have been AAAed on Infinitas.

6th Dan cleared on Infinitas, Thomas (Copula), and Tricoro.

Also, AAA on Gambol hyper double. Now to play some good music.

Played some Beet last night! I forgot how chill and fun 9s and 10s can be, I'm used to all the bullshit and grief that 11s and 12s give lol

My forearms are sore

[Ho]

I don't think I've ever passed a 9 or 10. They don't seem fun or chill to me. Guess I'm still a n00b.

You know, I wish I could back to those days, just sitting in my little basement playing Beet on a shitty cardboard modded JKOC, scrambling to put a towel up on the ol' CRT TV like an asshole, deciding which mix I'm gonna slap into my imported PS2, entering in scores on VJArmy, getting excited when I cleared a 7 or even a flashing 7 if I got lucky.


The Beet quality of life is awesome now don't get me wrong but nostalgia can be a real birch sometimes.

Hard cleared Scripted Connection (H mix) [A]

This hard clear always eluded me, fuck those jacks at the end! I still can't come close to clearing the A mix and it's probably the one 12 I play the most lol
