I caved and bought the game on the sale. I found it pretty difficult at first but I'm so far getting consistent Bs on the easier songs with 4B. Should I force myself to play on 5B or 6B as a newbie or stick to 4B for now? The only rhythm games I've played are Gitaroo Man and the Persona dancing games. Persona in particular is cake compare to this even on the hardest setting.
I don't think you should even play the 4B mode, at least at start.
It's way easier to train your brain on 6B for a while and then go back to the 4B/5B modes than the other way around.
Try going to 6B. You will fail most if not all songs at start. But after an hour or so, your brain should be trained well enough to clear all of the easier songs.
Whats wrong with 4B? 6B is tough because I end up pressing the wrong buttons all the time. I assumed 4B was the easiest since it's less notes.
Yeah, 4B is the easiest for sure. I think what they're saying though is that by starting with 6B you inherently learn a lot more and will have an easier time playing all the other modes in the game.
I kinda agree with them and it's how I started playing the game 10 years ago, but honestly just play whatever mode you're having fun with.
Dive into all modes for test runs i say. That said 5B imo is inherently different then the other two (4B/6B) as you cross over one lane's input because it's shared by both hands.
In regards to Grading/Scoring in this game, it pulls no punches. Accuracy for a single note can vary from 0-100 in increments of 10 . It's about how accurately you hit each note that decides your letter grade not simply hitting them. Practice makes perfect so don't let low letter grades get you down.

I had no idea this existed. Thanks for the heads up, this would help tons with some of the songs I'm missing S ranks on!
As for the whole 4B discussion above, I personally prefer to play 4B myself, it can get pretty darn crazy for certain songs (as less buttons sometimes = more crazy patterns as notes aren't spread out as well) but its really just worth giving each mode a try to see which feels best for you. Also, be careful on mission mode, its absolutely another level of hard compared to just playing the songs!
It got added with a previous patch from a few months ago, & it really helps give you a better idea of how close you were. Like "oh, I got 90%, but I was too fast"
Ah, I've not been keeping up with the game lately (only just S ranked the last big DLC pack before Deemo). Its a great inclusion for sure. Now if only I could filter based on * difficulty please!
I was practicing 6B on Ask to Wind and Beautiful Days. It took a while but I managed to get a B on both and got a Max Combo on Beautiful Days. Ask to Wind still fucks me up with certain button combinations, specifically Right + Triangle and Up + Square. I don't know why those give me so much trouble.
These games make you realize you're not in control of your body as much as you think you are. Cursed.
I would recommend setting an UI gear that displays the buttons underneath the note lanes. I can't remember which ones off the top of my head, nor if you have to unlock them, but they're there & I tend to use one just in case I suddenly lose my composure & need a quick reminder of what lane = what button.
Doesn't the default already do that? Honestly I don't even know what it is because I try not to even look at the actual buttons. It's like I press the wrong one thinking it's the right one. Three star songs are all kicking my ass. I can't even believe they're only three stars.
Hard disagree, 5B at least lets you use one of two buttons to hit the center. 5B is best... b.
5B setup works great for pop'n because it didn't have hold notes back when it had 5B mode.
Not so much for DJ Max, which had hold notes from the start. You basically need to memorize whether you need to use Right or Square for some of them, else you'll break the combo.
Yup. I hate (HATE!) some of 5Bs note charts which trick you into holding down the wrong button with no prior heads up. Still, these 5B note charts arent as bad as some of the PSP games!
Nah, 5b requires far more memorization and recognizing certain note patterns to determine which thumb to hit the center with
And that's exactly why it's my least played mode. Who wants to memorize stuff like that.
Black Square and Technika sound so damn good based on the previews. They're kind of expensive for me right now though. I should also worry about unlocking all the songs in the base game first. 6B is still kicking my ass. Some of these three star songs are bullshit and make me wonder how they're three stars only. I skipped some and went on to 4 stars but most of those are kicking my ass too. I feel stuck.
Go to sleep. For real. After I play a bunch, go to bed, and come back to it the next day, I always improve in some sort of way. Especially early one where a lot of the challenge is remembering what button is what.
Practice makes it perfect! I went through that just like you. You should care more about beating all 4B songs and getting S grades for now. After you are more confident with the game then you should practice those 6B songs (I think 6B songs are easier than 5B songs). Don't need to hurry.
Now that I've been playing 6B more it actually feels hard to go back to 4B lol. I start pressing right and square at times.
Like most rhythm games, you'll plateau and then you'll suddenly find you've improved a step after a break/more practice. If you focus on songs with parts you find hard you'll really improve once you consistently nail it.
Just took at look at both charts. Agreed they aren't in the same league, running girl has a much higher note density with way more doubles notes which IMO should raise its difficulty to a 5. Or Tok Tok down to a 3.
In the end it's just a suggested difficulty by the Devs. They have adjusted them in some updates after the data probably showed they were a bit off.
+ So I ended up putting a few hours all weekend into Freeplay Mode again. One to get close to that 1M combo and 2 to hit more S-FC in 6B mode. I think I have improved even if a bit slightly, so that amped me up more to get new high scores every day.

if this actually happens i wonder if there's any hope for keyboard support being patched into the PS4 version

I would say the best bang for your buck is Clazziquai or Trilogy, but they're all great.
Hitting Steam Early Access on the 19th. Seems the online will be very different with "ladder match" & "open match" with being able to play with up to 6 other people it seems? Air Mode seems to be specifically for streaming the game and letting people make comments that appear to the side of the note chart.
They posted a translation of the stream on the Discord. It seems like the PS4 version will continue to receive any new DLC they put out, but not at the same time due to the the cert time on PS4. There are some Steam exclusive tracks that will not come to PS4, presumably the Marshmello, and Porter Robinson stuff.
It was also suggested that Portable 3rd would be the last non-collab DLC. Same thing as before where they said it's taking a long time because it needs a lot of love and care.
I'm glad that I will still be able to get DLC on PS4 still, but I am weak willed and will also buy it for Steam whenever it comes out.

If they can get a ton of colab/license content even if it means non-keysound tracks it wouldn't be a bad addition. Doesn't Voltex have a shit ton of tracks because they license and don't keysound.
Steam page is up with the trailer:

DJMAX RESPECT V on Steam
DJMAX RESPECT V is the latest installment from the creators of the critically acclaimed rhythm game franchise ‘DJMAX.’ Experience tracks from popular artists such as Marshmello, Porter Robinson, and Yukika, exclusive Full HD Music Videos, online multiplayer, new game modes, and more!
Does the Project Diva X HD Hori controller work on this game? And more importantly, is it fun and/or recommended? I found it in store for $100US and am really thinking about it
