Iidx Is Truly Insane...

[Azure]

I've been playing the game for about 3-4 hours a day for 10 days straight. And from that my timing when playing all Beginner mode songs (Except 5.1.1.) sucks horribly. I usually get the same amount of Just Greats as Greats, which is REALLY bad. Well, I just found out today (from playing L7 and from a bemanistyle.com) that beginner mode has dumb-downed timing. x1 million. I thought that the timing in Beginner mode was insane, and I thought I knew what everybody was talking about when they said the timing was ridiculous, but that was actually an easier version of the timing. The actual timing makes me want to go strangle the guy who came up with the timing with my controller. I often get more Goods than Greats or Just Greats!
THIS GAME IS INSANE

I often get "Boo" in these timing type games.

I rulzor you all away with my wicked and mad DDR skillz. IIdx is nice, but moving while playing is better imo.

Just so you know, IIDX is the next step after DDR. Many people describe it like this:
DDR ---> IIDX ---> Pop'N Music
IIDX is A LOT harder than DDR. You can easily pick up and play DDR and immediately pass a few songs, with IIDX when you start out you'll only be able to pass 1 song, 5.1.1., which is a lot easier than normal 1* songs. And you'll most likely bomb on it too.

finty101: Meh, kind of, but that's not all I'm going to use it for. I've been wanting to mod my PS2 for a real long time, and IIDX just seemed to motivate me to do it immediately. I plan on also buying some other imports, like SVC Chaos and Bomberman Kart DX.

Nah, IIDX is not THAT hard...

I can pass most songs on DDR.. all of them acually... I dont think you can compare them.

IIDX stands for 2 Deluxe. Which by the way shouldent stand for it self since it's complete name is Beatmania 2 Deluxe.

And You Evo scale... i dont fully agree, it's more like

DDR -> PIU -> Technomotion

BM -> IIDX -> POPN

and

TNT -> DM&GF.

Now, who wants to do a stepmaniaport for gp? ^^ (Source at www.stepmania.com)

I think you misunderstood my "Evo" scale. That's just what most people do:
They first get into bemani through DDR, after a few years, they want something new and more challenging, so they get into IIDX, then, after a few years in that, they get into Pop'n Music.

So, have you actually played IIDX? Or do you just play DDR?
