The mindwarping Pop'N scores continue: (Note: This is done on Cho-Challenge which is harder than regular challenge)

97186 (35 greats perfect combo) on Suisei Rave (BI-BUN-SEKI-BUn) Normal
95611 (51 greats perfect combo) on Skip (PinkxPongxDash) Hyper (My best is 96k, but I got 1 good on that attempt.)
83181 (579/183/41/14) on Kenta Drums (BBLLAASSTT!!) Hyper (2.0x with towel due to 320 bpm being an awkward bpm on Pop'N)
85127 (680/160/53/10) on Get Wild EX
84516 (944/304/44/21) on Suisei Rave EX (This is a stamina draining 38)
96109 (745/61/1/0) on Space Dog EX (So I went from Speedy Cat to Space Dog!)
90717 (554/105/4/12) on White Birds (Mirage Mix) Hyper RANDOM

93064 (887/114/6/15) on Set's Bean EX (God the ending on this is really gay for a 36!)

Sup Dawg, I heard you like Beatmania The Final so we posted clears in the accomplishments thread!

Practically everything 7 and under has been cleared. Also, I will confirm that the next series of Tatsujin videos will be after this weekend and if I can get a good direct feed of it it will be the final on MAME!

Toy Contemporary Hyper CLEARED on regular mode!!! (1127/95/30, 92568) Now if only I could nail it on Cho-Challenge. [Edit: Cleared on Cho-Challenge (780/334/98/38, 77285)]

79895 on Tsuki Yuki Ni Mau Hana No You Ni (月雪に舞う花のように) EX in Cho-Challenge (811/355/62/36)! Another 40 cleared!

Note: Useless notes concerning semantics below...

Ok, now that I've played a few songs rated 40 on both regular and cho modes I'm convinced that the health bar is stricter in cho-challenge which is both good and bad.

Galaxy Forest HYPER CLEARED!!!! 70308 (305/102/82/37)

Pop'N Accomplishments:
Super Mario Medley EX cleared!!!

321 Stars (I refuse to call it Techno Pop) EX Cleared on Cho-Challenge (74878 with 548/113/125/48)

Oh, since some people said that my accomplishments threads don't have much drama, I figure I should say this. It seems that MonMotha will never accept my challenge to play in Cho mode. (Mr. TL;DR sadly won't man up on such challenges apparently.)

That enough drama for ya?

what is this cho mode?

Cho-Challenge mode is a mode that is available in Pop'N 13 and newer for both Console and Arcade. In the arcade both white buttons are hit when you have challenge highlighted. (I think it's the same way for console, not too sure though as I play in free mode.) The main differences between regular Challenge and Cho Challenge:

- Cho-Challenge has the Cool timing in addition to the regular timings. The scoring system is full value for Cool, half value for Great, and no points for Good and Bad. (Whereas regular challenge is full value for great, half value for good, and no points for bad.)
- The health bar also reflects this selection as cool builds it up at full value, great builds it up at partial value, and good gives it a even small partial value. (Regular Challenge has great at full value and good at half value.)
- In regular challenge you can fail the first song and still play. In cho-challenge if you fail the first song then it's game over.

I should mention that this is the mode that was used for the Top Ranker 2008 tournament finals.

Edit: I should also mention that the arcade health bar is stricter than the console health bar which I honestly cannot figure out to save my life. (In the case of IIDX the arcade usually has a more lenient health bar than the console versions.)

I f*cking nailed everybody hook, line, and sinker with one of the best April Fools pranks ever this morning!

Moar new cho-records:
95228 on Train Sim EX (761/57/9/4)
93831 on Pianotronica EX (699/70/7/12)
97229 on Pianotronica Normal (358/21/0/0)
96804 on A/I Angel EX (3 goods no bads)
88755 on Yakyu Rock EX (741/123/34/12)
97229 on Pianotronica Normal (358/21/0/0)
87238 on Mugen EX (821/172/29/29)

Also, I outright smashed my old personal best on Jack EX with 78k (Prior best was 73k which was done on Ho's machine despite completely screwing up the beginning) and oddly enough it was done on mirror. (I'm working on this song in both regular and mirror mainly to improve my overall playstyle due to how the notechart is designed.)

Oh, I also have cleared all 38s that appear in the modern Pop'N arcade releases (15AC and 16AC respectively) outside of Percussive 2 and Des-Raggae. (Both songs whore out speed changes so I'll have to towel them like I did Super Mario Medley.)

Welfare EX (Awesome song) and VS Sound EX both cleared on Cho-Challenge at 78k! (2 new 40s, w00t!)

More 40s cleared on Pop'N:
74k on Elegy EX (3.5x due to timing changes in the song)
75542 on Aqua (Ele Flood Wave) EX (656/355/88/23, this was a total sightread)

Edit:

70483 (506/150/167/42) on CLASSIC 4 HYPER RANDOM!!!! (Amp has cho-cleared his first 41!!!)
