i know (by /jp/'s rhythm games general thread) that 1cc, a board for sharing hdd dumps for the bemani games (and more?), apparently went down because someone on there was doxing a trans person. idk if this is related to that.

Apparently Chris is still using a VPN to Indonesia? Idk how recent these songs are, I don't follow DDR that much.
The latest of those songs were added in June 2022. I guess Iamchris4lyfe's records are still active.

I have no clue who that is or what "getting SA'D" is, but I looked through his Twitter and just look at this fuckin photo

For comparison's sake, here's the classic Reddit meetup photo:

Nah, his cab got banned a while back, these are old scores that I guess Konami saw too much a hassle to remove. The guy is just trolling. I got a good laugh out of it.

SA'd = sexually assaulted

I was going to post this from the recent US tournament where TAG came as a guest, but couldn't think of a good context.

I should mention the guy in the top right, xopher314, while best known for being that guy that lost 125 lbs playing DDR, seems to have a huge weeb fat fetish and his likes on his nsfw twitter are full of it. He's not lolcow worthy or anything, but I do find it a bit ironic how the guy who used to be fat still has a turn on for fatties.

And also likes talking about his balls. Because I honestly don't know why people enjoy telling strangers on the internet about it.

Before you ask, some old account I had followed it while it was still a SFW account before it got changed to a private NSFW one awhile back and he made a new SFW account. Haven't bothered to unfollow for quality content like this.

All those people spending thousands of dollars per month on trips to Dave & Busters or round 1 and credits just so they could get a chance to grind one single song.

Chris just gets to sperg and complain on Twitter because his spoofed cab failed on him for a couple of weeks, so he won't be able to get that precious "ddr world record".

So, he lost 125 lbs and he's still fat? Because in the picture pissmaster posted he still looks fat.

He could've been like everyone else that spend thousands at Round1, but nah he really went through all of that just so he didn't have to wait in line.

Speaking of Guitar Hero mentioned earlier in the thread I still have fond memories of the absolutely insane fandom wide meltdown over the “sexy” redesign Judy Nails got in the third game. The seething looked like something you’d see on Twitter and Tumblr in the current year. On Score Hero the amount of people shitting up GH3 news threads over it got so bad that the mods had to make a containment thread for all the complaints. It ended up being a 25 page thread of users arguing over the purity and integrity of a fictional character. Ironically this same fandom simped big time over Judy especially with her GH 1 and 2 designs.

Though to be fair the new design itself was pretty damn fugly but yet again a lot of the characters got hit by the ugly stick in Guitar Hero 3. Especially the male singer..

Here’s the thread if you’re interested in 2007 era discourse on video game boobies.

Holy fuck these people are insufferable. Newsflash: It's a cliche game that 99.9% of normies think looks stupid to do or can't do in public unless to show off to friends or play with their kid. Not everyone is going to be attracted to commit to it seriously. Just like every single other hobby or video game in existence. (Also konmai is konmai and makes easy access to this game near impossible outside of Round1/D&B unless you can cough enough dough for a personal cab)

I've never understood why every argument regarding popularity has to revolve around tournaments. Like, does it not occur to them that a lot of people like me just don't want to play against other people in a tournament setting and want to simply improve on their personal scores instead at a level no different than a gym routine?

I'm 100% convinced the competitive scene and the people around it completely killed any and all fun regarding videogames in general. Fighting games and shit like Pokemon suffer from this as well, where everything is super fucking serious, otherwise you're not "doing it the right way" or "having fun", except my definition of "having fun" doesn't involve mentally and/or physically torturing myself to death. Ever since online gaming became more of a thing it's gotten worse and worse.

Dancing games seem to be a very even playing field, to be honest. If anything separates people, it'd be leg length, I would think. I know there are some amazing female players out there too - blueandys was one for Pump it Up, but it looks like she DFE'd at some point.

Dudes with stinkditches probably don't fare so well, though, because it's a physically exerting game where you're moving your legs as fast as possible. That's bound to cause some really disgusting and painful bleeding down there.

I've been to a couple of DDR tournaments way back in the Extreme days. They were a lot of fun. A handful of people took them very seriously, but for the most part, it was a reason to get everyone together and hang out for a day. During downtime, a bunch of us played Pictochat and Mario Kart DS. We'd gossip about others in and out of the community and discuss whatever faggot teenager shit we were thinking about at the time. It was great fun. Very nice memories. I'd participate in the tournaments even though I'd get completely wrecked in the first round, but the entry fee ensured more tournaments could happen, and they needed people to fill slots, or else it'd just be four spergs duking it out and an audience full of people not paying attention.

Like seriously, we had four guys who were putting up scores like <20 greats on Maxx Unlimited, and the best of the rest of us were happy just to clear Cartoon Heroes with a C. It didn't matter though, I was just happy to hang out with friends.

I guess people like those four guys were among the kinds who were peaking in life at that time, and they're clinging onto the tournament scene into middle age. So sad

I feel it's relatively even up until like probably high 17s and 18s to 19s. The most recent KAC had a men's and women's division and the difference in level of difficulty choice and scores is pretty notable. Granted, the sample size was limited to JP players and I don't follow US tournaments so idk.


I've also seen a few streams with o4ma and his wife Shizu in the past and you can tell o4ma just has a lot more stamina on the hardest songs even though they're both pretty ripped.

I have no vendetta against tournaments and I understand why people find them fun, but yeah I find it to be too srs biz to me and this whole DEI ally crap isn't helping, among other factors. I've played with some tournament scene people before in casual settings and it's really distracting when they quit out a song early or sometimes make gestures or loudly swear at the screen when they mess up or get a "pad miss" cause that screws me up. It's funny you mention the Maxx Unlimited/Cartoon Heroes thing because I'm currently at a "limbo" stage where all the regulars I see at my arcade are either too pro or too beginner in comparison so it's nigh impossible to find people of similar skillset to play with to begin with. (I know there's online stuff like LIFE4 and SkillAttack but that's not really the same.) I also cannot for the life of me sperg about charts and techniques and all that at a rate a lot of diehard players do.

Ive never been blessed to play a pop'n game, are you playing on an emulator or just arcading it? I ended up getting a force level 5 for taiko and don't regret it one bit. Works okay on the switch but the PC is a beast at least with the web taiko i've got infinite song choice too.
Most new arcade data is on nyaa. Or if you're lucky, you can download it off of onlyone.cab if you were able to get an account. Dunno how bemani discord shit is now, I haven't been in the scene in years. The pop'n music community is hilarious, it's mostly people who never touched the game and obsess over one or two characters. I've been wanting to get back into pop'n again, but gamo2's controllers are pretty damn expensive. Would like to know how to run it and IIDX on a Linux distro, but I'm not sure of the steps how to do it because the documentation is really poor.
Taiko's really fun, it introduced me to rhythm games. I have a soft spot for the Wii and PSP games especially.

I would have gone on a long spergout about difficulty in rhythm dancing games, but I'll just leave this.

This or anything the DDR/Pump it Up/ In the Groove "competitive scene" shits out

Will never be as impressive, commendable and difficult as this.

Btw: Those two Asian people might look fit, but they seem like total pushovers.
