How do i git gud?
Beatmania

Lots and lots of practice. You'll take a lot of L's, but you'll git gud eventually if you keep at it. Learning the controller can be rough at first.
Owen Roberts
Ive been playing a few days straight and it feels like ive been making no progress, is it better to jump into the deep end and get smacked or slowly climb the difficulties and master each one first?
Kevin Jones
Use your thumbs
Learn to pinky scratch
Play a lot
Christopher Peterson
Slowly climb.
If you only play things that are too hard you'll be forever inconsistent.
Brandon Torres
Forgot to add that you should challenge yourself. Just do it with things you can feasibly do well on.
Carter Ramirez
What are you using for a controller?

Play on random so you learn to deal with anything instead of just the neatly arranged patterns the songs are programmed with.
Try playing easy songs with only one hand at a time; you want to learn to be ambidextrous so that when one hand is busy scratching you can cover the remaining notes with the other hand.

I wish IIDX was more popular in the west.
It's an amazing rhythm game.
Jack Evans
It's certainly growing thanks to Round 1, they even bothered bringing lightning cabs here and as of the latest version there's an option for English UI.

Konami is incompetent outside of Japan. They purposefully released the game for ps2 in America with a stiff and useless turntable because stupid gaijin don't care. Then it flopped and they abandoned the western market.
Benjamin Fisher
They didn't release any of the PS2 games in America. Only one or two of the PSX ports got western releases.
Blake Gutierrez
This came out in the US, though.

I wish any arcade rhythm game was more popular in the west. In Japan they've got Chunithm, MaiMai, Sound Voltex, even Taiko no Tatsujin, but they just don't exist in the US

>Lame Guitar Hero ripoff
Classic

>Still no rip of all Goli's artwork
Why?

Is there much carryover skill when it comes to rhythm games? say if you're good at necrodancer, you might be good at guitar hero, or you might be good at amplitude, or you might be good at osu.
Ethan Cooper
Reminding everyone that game journalists were never good at games.
Andrew Gutierrez
Guitar Hero would probably carry over to Beatmania but the others are too different to help much.
Camden Young
>tfw no beatmania machine in my fucking state
Jack Reed
pop'n peace data where
i missed it when it was leaked over on /jp/
Grayson Jenkins
Basic Rhythm games skills like horizontal and vertical reading will carry over, but you still need practice for the more mechanical skills and muscle memorizations like what he said
Samuel Young
I hope Round 1 opens back up soon, it sucks not being able to go for my weekly rhythm game sessions anymore
Angel Myers
I wish arcades were popular here. There's nothing but shitty skill testers and crane games at the sad excuses for arcades we have.
I want to play proper arcade games again.
