I wonder why he an hero'd just two days before the Arcaea/Cytus II crossover updates were released with his new song (lowiro released a statement about his death). I swear those two games are cursed, although I get that vibe from Rayark's side more than lowiro's. Every time they announced an update, something weird happened and they had to delay everything.

REST IN PISS WON'T ME MISSED🤣🤣💯💯
 

yeah if I composed that I'd kill myself too. At 33 seconds it sounds like it's building up to a drop but the drop just never comes and the song just stays like that and sounds like a mix of samples someone threw into a blender running at full speed.

Chart is serviceable but not particularly special. 16 seems like the right rating for it, but there are much better 16s out there.

Late, but he looks like Trevor from Trailer Park Boys.


This is par for the course for DDR A and later, that is to say, fucking dreadful.
I was writing a retort but I looked up Poochie and Happy Lucky Yeappy as good ones, and they both debuted in DDR 2014. The only good new one I could come up with is Bitter Chocolate Striker.

You know I thought he had some of that L.E.D./L.E.D.-G sound, it hit some of the same notes. He just didn't have the balls to go hard with it. Literally.

We know you're just going to play it on your cracked private cab anyways Chris, you don't need to say stupid shit publicly like this lol.


On a more depressing note, a not-troon JP player who recently participated in the DDR e-sports pro league BPL (BEMANI Pro League) has gone missing after tweeting a note basically alluding to suicide.

Keeping it short and sweet with some ancient drama from the Rock Band community. There are a handful of channels that upload Full Band FCs like EliteRhythmGaming and Team Pepe, and one of them was Team Legend, currently Team Aftermath.

Team Legend's channel was suddenly deleted shortly after uploading a FBFC of "Fireflies" by Owl City. When they made a new channel as Aftermath, one of the first vids uploaded was, indeed, a newly-rerecorded FBFC of "Fireflies".

...And so here it is, the FBFC that started this whole adventure. I'm sure everybody, by now knows what happened, and of course, we needed to re-do it because of those circumstances. I thought it was pretty ironic that we were talking about this song being cursed on the old FBFC. At the end, you would've been able to see Remi say "not cursed anymore" after we FBFC'd it. I think he took his words back on that.

The reason? The vocalist on the original video really, really, really wanted to feature her voice in the video, and she uploaded it on Legend as such. But the others didn't want it, so they deleted the video and reuploaded it without her voice. She got pissed and nuked the whole channel. A while later, she reuploaded the video with her voice on her own channel, along with a manifesto.

After giving it some thought, I've decided I'm not going to be silent while the community makes accusations and speculates about the kind of person I am. After taking all things into consideration please go back to your bridges and have COUNTLESS debates about me, what I said, and the world that you will never fit into that sits just outside your bedroom window. The night the channel got shut down I didn't have a CLUE what had happened and the next morning, as I sat scratching my head it occurred to me that I could make an inquiry to YouTube about the channel since the night before I had added an old email account because I had noticed a lot of videos in our "copyright" folder and wanted to be notified when these were uploaded to try to manage the claims. I'm unable to post the messages YouTube replied with, my guess is, because they are full of links. I'll find a public place to post them and update this info later.

Anyway, earlier that day I sent Eric a message that said "Are you trying to make me quit?" about 30 minutes passed and I got the reply word for word, "Did u hear me say that Jody??? Please don't assume.. I never had a problem keeping it real.. I don't even kno what going on and really don't care. This is game so if you guys cant get over this then call it what you want. Yea organization is cool.. But this is simply a game...Regardless to anything else.. It's just a game.. Its not meant to be taken this seriously or have all these rules . Stop overthink everything and chill.. It is what it is.. At the end of the day your still Jody and Im still Eric" My reply was, "I was over it once my video was posted the way WE MUTUALLY agreed it would be." This wasn't about my voice in the video I have vocal FCs of that song dating back to when it was a fucking RBA file. It was about 2 people talking, coming to an agreement and one of them (Tyler) not honoring it. Since I haven't been very active on the team lately, I was a little surprised when Eric said "It's just a game.. Its not meant to be taken this seriously or have all these rules" because I haven't told anyone to stop doing anything in more than 6 MONTHS! ! I went to the channel to look for some copyright claims and hadn't been on it more than 10 minutes before my browser refreshed and I wasn't logged in anymore. During that 10 minutes I noticed the account status had changed to "Not In Good Standing" since the last time I was on the channel. The message below it said please review your copyright videos, immediate action is required. It appeared We had about 40 videos in copyright infringement status but I wasn't able to look into it further as I was ejected from the channel. I assumed Tyler did it mostly because of what he was saying in the chat but until I got those emails, I honestly thought he was behind some elaborate scheme to frame me for him deleting the channel so the old FBFCs could be redone at his discretion. I gave him WAY too much credit though. HE WAS logged into the channel most likely blocking me from it but I don't think he did anything to the channel. I think YT took it down for copyright violations. Now why would everyone assume I would do something like this when in the past I have never done anything remotely close and have always tried to help this group of players? I have to guess that it's MORE FUN to think I'm a crazed, lunatic and to invent a conspiracy theory, than to think that the people uploading Legend's videos are too lazy to check for copyright claims after they have finished their upload. Copyright is what got both channels taken down. I guess it's safe to say some people like to learn the hard way and others simply don't learn from their mistakes. All I can do is hope those capable of it, will look at the situation logically and stop inventing stories to account for this unfortunate situation. These stories, while they may be FUN, are discrediting and in the grand scheme of things not in any way deserved. I'm at as great a loss as anyone else. I lost over 100 videos when that channel went down, not to mention because of this my Skype was hacked and my email at work was posted to 4chan which means each day I get to delete hundreds of spam emails. To those that find it funny - you are the same people claiming I was POWER ABUSING or I had a bunch of rules I was imposing on the team. I guess those of you that are still angry got your revenge, all be it more than a YEAR LATER, for me helping Eric turn the team around and make it a team everyone wants to be a part of. I think the lesson I have learned in all this is you haven't been truly thanked by a Rock Band player until they feel the need to insult, accuse, harass and invent stories about you. I have been blessed by this communities "thanks" more times than I care to remember and so I bid you all a fond farewell. You have been an inspiration to some and further support that your mother should have exercised her right to CHOOSE for others. ~ peace Jody

Aftermath has gone on to be the most prolific FBFC channel ever, uploading daily videos to this day. The channel is thriving. One of its runners, Connor aka SuperLowlander, is not.

Honestly, for a music game like DDR where the average person isn't paying close attention to the song jacket 99% of the time besides making sure they're on the right song I suppose, who the hell cares? If it was like background videos or UI that'd be a different story but song jackets are not going to affect anyone's gameplay in any way. If I'm a big fan of the composition or chart, I could care less whether the song jacket of all things is AI-generated or not. I'm going to play it every time.

Sector is still a fucking banger to me, who cares if the jacket doesn't "tell me" the back story of the song or some deep shit.

Also lol at konmai ever listening to a gaijin. DDR is definitely not a top priority series for them right now to just "hire more artists" for.

Feels like this person is trying to find a reason to hate on AI art besides "muh artists jobs" and "muh stealing copyright" since otherwise they would be ridiculed for it.

They're grasping at straws. Even if Konami decided to kill the AI art, its not going to fix the underlying issue with current DDR... which is that it sucks a big bag of floppy donkey dicks and has been for quite some time.
 
idk man, ddr is kinda stale rn, but you don't fix that by hiring artists making jackets instead of using ai.
complain when we get ai-made beatmania iidx bgas.

I'm sorta a pleb who enjoys both. Beatmania is more challenging on computer while DDR is more of an actual cardio workout at the arcades (pretty much the jazzercise of arcades).
 
I think it was mentioned here before but Cytus had a similar deal with AI art. Though I understand the outrage because Rayark supposedly laid off a bunch of artists (unconfirmed rumor) while the game also is more focused on artistic direction. That was definitely more in bad taste imo.
For DDR's case like others have said you barely even see the jackets anyway so... what's the point?

Have you ever tried dancerush? I actually really enjoyed it being more of an actual dancing game (albeit i dance like a retard i still have fun)
 
>"OH NO DDR JACKETS ARE AI GENERATED NOW I AM ENRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGED!"
They haven't been good in ages. Any time they can get away with just using actual album art or a promo image from whatever anime, they do.

Back when DDR had a soul, the jackets (backgrounds) were fantastic:

Artwork quality started dropping off when Supernova rolled around, and only kept going downhill. There are a few good ones every now and then:

But enough of it is so bland that AI art might be an improvement. At least its bound to be better than ITG's idea of just slapping the song's name on top of a stock photo.
