Arcade Infinity Beatmania IIDX 16 Empress - Mendes [H] 190k

[gsworhdo]

lmao mendes is sick

[MrDangeresque]

It's not memorization. Tons of higher skilled IIDX players use Random a whole lot, meaning you will almost never get the same notechart twice. Pattern recognition and muscle memory are the big things with this game, as you reallly have to just get into your brain what kind of shape certain patterns look like and what your fingers have to do when you see that shape of notes, if that makes any sense.

[tuber52]

noob question but how do you go into the option menu for the arcade version

[CRAPPUCCInoo]

hold start button

[tuber52]

ohhh haha, just like all other konami music games

[peckosddr]

this song is a real curse :D good luck to clear it everyone :D

[biggitydiddity]

ok in the first 20 seconds my hands would shit its finger nails that looks IMPOSSIBLE!!

[segatasanshir0]

wow. was that only like 4 or 5 combo breaks =OO my hero...lol

[cnel90]

I want this. D:

[ddrosedkonqueror]

er so are any old dj troopers song in this or are this game's songs all brand new?

[goldjinshi]

it consists of a mix of old dj troopers songs, older style revivals and some new ones

[Nanali]

Some question.

Is that 8 keyboards in total?

Do you kind of remember all of them in one song, or you can do it pretty good on the first try?

[CRAPPUCCInoo]

seven keys with a turntable on the left/or right.

DIVINE usually plays with RANDOM modifier (he plays with MIRROR on this video), as do most experienced iidx players; this randomizes the note columns so memorization of the chart is near impossible. higher level play of iidx almost never requires memorization of the notechart. players can remember what the songs sound like and remember what parts are "note-heavy" or "scratch-heavy," but never the notechart.

[CRAPPUCCInoo]

long story short on everything - iidx is a tons and tons more reflexes than it is memorization.

[teenidol12]

I have no idea what's going on but geez does it look impressive.

[onimateria]

I'm playing the poor man's version of Beatmania (DJ MAX) on my PSP and having a hard time...

And damn, I can appreciate that type of performance.

Is that memorization or just fast reflexes?

[otaku1313]

Reflexes.

[nadmenniyi]

Bit of both.

[ArcadeInfinity]

i'd say reflexes.

[keiichi2k3]

Reflexes and timing.

[tuber52]

its a bit of both, memorization by how your mind just recognizes automatically what note/button to hit. and since there is 7 buttons and turn table you probably start getting better and better making it more and more automatic to read it fluently. kinda like how you can read words easily and when you were younger you cant. and then the rest is just reflexes

[shiken]

you guys should up some GF/DM or pop'n vids too... i played pop'n quite often there when i was in socal :D

dj divine is truly divine

[ArcadeInfinity]

good idea

[otaku1313]

Agreed, I'd love to see how AI pop'n players are doing right now :)

[d2girls]

lolwut beatmania? can you give a list on what arcade game plays you upload kthnkxbai

[TelvanniGuard]

Someone plays the piano. 8)

Vonderful job.

[Marqz90]

how do u even see that coming so fast

[IIDXNITSUA]

where are the dj utj videos!!!!

[tengai87]

honestly though the note explosions actually help with my timing.. as long as they're exploding a lot i know i'm hitting the notes on time

[giangatang]

Why is this game sooo hard!?!

[mayley06]

this seems pretty good fun, but also vry difficult, guess it takes quite a bit of practice. im in the uk and havent seen this anywhere i'd like to play it :(

[AdilAftab]

lol how are u supposed to see the notes coming when that giant GREAT 200 COMBO! is in ur way?

[ArcadeInfinity]

eyes dont focus on the bottom like that.

[VacuousTerminus]

that explains a lot about how anybody's able to play this. I don't think hand/eye coordination could work so fast and sudden to have such split second reactions in so many areas, let alone one. gotta see it coming.

[springbeak]

yeah before you play it you expect it to be a real hindrance including the flash when you hit a note but it really doesn't make a difference

[VacuousTerminus]

I'd love to see an arcade game called "piano master" that's just a full 88 keyboard on a cabinet and it works like this game. what'd be fun about it is there'd be no discrimination on how many people can play at a time, just how many people can fit in and lend a hand.

[ScarGfx]

there is one, it was origonally called keyboard hero (or keyoard mania) but the name was already taken so they had to change, look it up bro.

[Olithesuper]

I thought it was called do re mi mania :s
