Kaguya Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Oh well. It was good while it lasted. Damn you Maki-chan I wonder if I'll be able to be in the top 6000 by the end of the event... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'd say yes. Previously when tier 4 cutoffs were 2001-4000 you probably wouldn't make it but 3001-6000 is pretty spacious. ~~ We talked about favorite songs. How about favorite songs to play in the game 1. Baby Maybe Koi no Button [EX] - The chain of notes from 70 ~ 120 is such a pleasure to play through 2. After School Navigators [EX] - Spam fest. But it's the fun type, not like Susume->Tomorrow 3. Mermaid festa vol. 2 ~Passionate~ [HARD] - Tricky, but it's still one of my all time favorites to play. I haven't gotten to play the EX ver. yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My answers would stay the same. I don't have enough knowledge to appreciate more technical parts of the game, and it's nice to play songs you like. Eh, guess I don't need to complain about her dodging me anymore.

Ceris Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I never noticed/thought pass mind about Ns didn't have an N in the corner Favorites to play is easier for me to choose, though I'm not including Daily EX (one exception) since they would automatically win for being fun to play because they're actually challenging 1. Soldier Game EX - This map with the odd rhythm, random spam fests, complicated helds mixed in with the spams, just everything about it is so much fun to play and is easily my favorite to spam. During the JP Rin event, I waited until Soldier Game was the daily song before I spent more gems after the initial grind just because I wanted a reason to spam it a little 2. Kodoku na Heaven EX - This is one of the few non-daily EX songs I haven't FC'd, it's difficult but not stupid difficult, there are spams like, think ASN EX, but randomize it and speed it up, with shorter bursts, it's ton of fun to play. 3. Junai Lens Random EX - This was the recent event song for the Nozomi event, the map is so much fun because of the crazy spams become even crazier with random placement, and the doubles are unpredictable, just a chaotically fun map, though not sure if I should include this since the game labeled the song as a Daily EX difficulty (legit, they gave it 11*s like the Daily EX, the only non-daily EX to get an 11*) Anyway, if you haven't seen Soldier Game EX, check out this sexy rhythm I guess including the Daily EX (Soldier Game was an exception just because I enjoy it not for the difficulty but the rhythm itself is just fucking amazing), my top 3 would be Soldier Game, Kokuhaku, and Beat in Angel, since the latter two are crazy difficult without being stupid (Otomeshiki...)

Rose Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've been wondering, do you guys play with thumbs or not? I honestly can't enjoy the game that much if I play with my index fingers, maybe it's because I ain't used to it or because I still suck using them, but anyway, thumbs makes me feel way happier. Also, do you guys think that any is better than the other? From the little I have used my indexes, I believe that say, FCing Soldier Game EX is probably way easier that way.

Eclipsed Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 For me thumbs = phone, fingers = tablet Thumbs have accuracy, fingers have speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceris Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 It depends on the size of your device. I play with thumbs, but my device is large enough to use index fingers comfortably. I just prefer not needing a surface to play, really no other reason really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maki~chan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I can't play with my thumbs sometimes when I am really lazy I try to do it but I always drop the phone on my face or miss lots of notes sadly my hands aren't strong enough And I can't play good if my phone isn't on a pillow >.< I just can't FC any songs while playing on a table or other hard items. Anybody has the same problem? Sorry Kaguya I wanted a gem and few friend points also I don't think I can FC event song EX all the time so I used some of my tokens. But I won't use more than that for now I love playing Listen to My Heart a lot Also new EX song on JP, Dancing Stars On Me is also became a favourite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thumbs have accuracy, fingers have speed. I am actually the opposite, my thumbs look way faster, but my index fingers would probably have way more accuracy if I actually practiced with them for a bit.

Eclipsed Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 You guys must be gods if you can thumb your way through Soldier Game EX. I sure as hell can't xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceris Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The only thing I can't do with thumbs is Otomeshiki and Beat in Angel, the former just needs practice, the latter has two sections that are simply too fast for my thumbs, would need PLs to save me.

Rose Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Are there any predictions for the cutoffs or is it too early for that?

maki~chan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Cutoffs changed so I am not really sure what will happen But I can only play on pillows That's not a good thing for me I wish I could play on table as good as I play on pillows When I am at school I need to put my bag or my scarf under my phone & my hands so I can play >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezeefreak Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi guys, back to the "how you play" topic and made a quick video of me playing Mogyutto "love" de Sekkin Chuu! EX. Nothing really special and like I said I'm far away from being a pro. It's my "best" current EX song and I also should say that this was not my first try . Like you can see, I've some problem with my left hand and not really confidence in this. Sorry for the bad quality i just made that on a whim .

Kaguya Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I use my thumbs. Is there any particular way that's better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I use whatever I feel like, sometimes I even switch midgame to make it more interesting. One time i used my thumb on the right hand and my index finger on the left General rule is that not using your thumbs provides more speed, but thumbs provide more accuracy. Though you can easily get better accuracy with your index fingers with practice for example. It's really up to you but some songs really require you to use your other fingers as they're too fast for most people's thumbs to keep up with.

cloudy12 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I use thumbs because I play SIF with my phone. I have tried using my fingers a few times but that requires putting my phone down but it always ends up moving a little bit for some reason. For better accuracy, I have to cut my nails before during token events so I don't miss any tokens =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've been playing on an ipad. Clearly if I want to be awesome I want to be playing this on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceris Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have to agree. Playing with thumbs is good for accuracy but when double taps come fast that's when I break D: Took me so damn long to FC beat in angel because of part 1:34 to 1:37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezeefreak Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 How did you record this? I would record me, but gotta figure out how I would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudy12 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't have a particular "style" I play. I just find anywhere where I can sit down (my bed, a chair, couch, etc.) and play. =) Also, good wifi as well, I usually panic when there's shitty connection and the game takes awhile to load D: Edit: After reading the convo a few times, I noticed most put their device on a surface. I hold my phone while I play so I have better grip and that's how I thought you were suppose to hold it when you played on your phone haha.

Ceris Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I play holding my phone, and can be in any situation really, I've played and FC'd multiple songs while walking around my house or outside. I actually, while playing, will sit up from my seat, open my door (if the song is easy enough to permit it) and walk to whatever part of my house I need while playing While typing this, got a scouting ticket from a Medley, yay~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Talking about medleys, that event is crazy good. I can't really consistently get a good combo doing 3x EX, but the 30k gold exp boost is so amazing, seriously, my levels are skyrocketing. Also just found this on reddit, really cool A-RISE PV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVhE1CXrrOw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
