This probably has the worst interface I've ever seen. What the fuck is that
Its not the most visually clear interface Ive seen that's for sure... Very busy. I still wishlisted it (could well be fun) but yeah Id work on the UI a bit.
5B on controller is, imo, the best mode in the game. The physically required middle lane alternation feels so good to nail down.
5B is much weirder on keyboard since you're no longer physically forced to alternate the middle lane so the chart flow isn't as intuitive.
8B is great, the walls of red notes are much funnier than just having more regular lanes.

Going to have to do that! It was becoming time consuming scouring through the music finding appropriate difficulty.
Spent 2 hours last night getting a new pb on a song. .07% increase lol.
Some other notes about different button modes and their binds.
- It's suggested to start with 4B and 6B. 5B and 8B are "harder" versions of 6B.
- You can start different button modes at any skill level. Don't be discouraged if you have to go back to easier charts when learning a new button mode, that's normal.
- The game assumes side tracks are always bound to pinkies. This is obvious when using random modifier & when playing some 8B charts.
- For 5B, I highly recommend having the binds be identical to the 6B binds.
- For 8B, the charts are designed around the FX notes (red notes) being bound to each thumb. Putting FX notes on pinkies is literally painful for some charts.
- Learning non-SC charts on a dualshock controller is extremely fun.
To add to the above, don't underestimate how much changing the UI can benefit you too. Some gears and noteskins are "cleaner" than others and can make notereading easier. Play around with finding your favoured gear position and transparency settings too, try using headphones if you have them, all these tiny things can benefit in the long run.
One of the best noteskins (classic) is locked behind playing songs in AIR mode. It's gotten even harder to unlock over time, because only songs you own (i.e. non-DLC songs) count towards the unlocking progress, and air mode is full of DLC songs these days.
The easiest way to get all the air mode unlocks is to leave air mode running overnight with Autoplay off.

So I got into DJMAX Respect V around January. I've been playing it a lot (first rhythm game I properly got into) and have 110 hours and I'm level 117 (mainly replaying my favourite songs). I find it really tough to play songs with Side Notes and also having to press buttons at the same time. No amount of practice helps. Any tips? Luv on Maximum for example, I have no issue with the song besides the side notes at the start.
The new rewind feature helps with exactly this, where you struggle with particular chords. Play Luv MX and just keep rewinding that section to practice that particular part. There's not really much more to suggest other than "practice" I'm afraid. There's chords I still struggle with after 18 years of playing these games (side notes are often involved...)
I wish you could have them on the side in their own lane or something
What are your keybinds for your notes & side tracks?
For better or worse, the giant intimidating wall of green is part of the game's design, and you kinda have to get used to them with practice. It takes time.
They just added a new setting to disable the flashing sidetrack warning, which may help with readability. The warning was originally designed for controller users, not keyboard users.

Oh yeah, I've definitely noticed differences with noteskins being easier/harder for me to read properly. I did just change them again tonight when I swapped to 6b.
Got back into DJMAX with the new patch after ~2 years of primarily just playing mobile rhythm games.
Actually went surprisingly smoothly. I thought I would be super rusty (was never good at keyboard VSRGs to begin with), but I'm actually getting better scores now than I did before, so some skills transfered from mobile games.
Thinking about it, standard DJMAX charts being limited by console controllers probably gives them similar limitations that 2-finger mobile charts have. Both also have very forgiving note timings.
The part that isn't going so well is that I forgot how demanding a keyboard is on your hands. Switching to numpad for the right hand helped a lot, but makes side notes and 8b kind of hard to fund good bindings for.

Not a problem for 4B, 5B, and 6B. Default 8B's binds are not comfortable at all lol.
Anyways yeah, just gotta practice side tracks unfortunately. IIRC, RockSTAR is good for side track training depending on the chart.
Right hand on numpad is awesome. I put my right sidetrack on numpad+ and right FX note on numpad0. Some people put FX on arrow keys right instead.
My full binds are: A SDF space numpad0 456 +
POP/STARS (Respect V base) and Nevermind (Trilogy DLC) also have some fiendish side track sections that are good to practice on
You will improve at that in time, consciously and subconsciously.
"I'm never going to be able to beat this section!" can feel very real, but is often just a huge lie - Aristotle on rhythm games, 350BC
Fairly big patch with a bunch of fixes.

Second KALPA PC demo released. 10 songs is a pretty decent number for a demo, and there's a new story mode demo.

Their crowdfunding campaign seems to be going well.

KALPA, the authentic mobile 5-key rhythm game, is now available on STEAM! The doomed universe needs you to play your life away. Play your life's music with Kalpa to save the dying Yggdrasil and revive the universe!

There's actually 15 songs which is very generous for a demo. No 6K mode this time though, just 4K and 5K (unless I'm going mad and the previous demo had no 6K either, it was like 4 months ago I played it). Don't care about the story mode side of things in these games but the music is very good. Nice surprise to see onoken in there.Second KALPA PC demo released. 10 songs is a pretty decent number for a demo, and there's a new story mode demo.

VVAV One has decided to delete all my scores again. Tried the new song but it still sounds like all the other non-Memme songs in the game. Massive meh.
V Extension 6 unveiling livestream should be next week, otherwise it'll miss Q2 as next week is the penultimate Thursday of the month. Was hoping it would be this week, oh well.

As expected. I won't be around to do the usual live notes recap next week, maybe someone else can do it.
I finally booted up DJMax after its last big update and I quite like the tweaks they made to the game... also, as Im playing on my newer Steam Deck, not gonna lie its rather nice at 90FPS... its not really helping my gameplaying, but its nice and smooth all the same. I really need to get back and play the game proper... Im still sorta juggling this and Clone Hero...
