beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL (AC) (Japan)

Well, that was different. It hold some definite similarities to Toy Contemporary. Is Project B anyone specific or just a new (er) artist?
Those chickens from Vulcan's video are nightmare fuel.

Project B- is a new artist, debuted in Tricoro with Deceive your Insight, he also has a song, Knell, in Reflec Beat Collete, and a song in Spada, M.D.Injection, so yeah he's relatively new.

It's speculated that Project B- is Akhuta due to similarities in songs and that Akhuta's blood type is B-.

Also VANESSA is back!

Got to play it today

I loved ZZ, Erosion Mark, Chrono Diver, Bassdrop Freaks and Benibotan.

Didn't get to play Line 4 Ruin but it's definitely something I look forward to

Theme looked sleek as hell too, does anyone know when does the Present Phase and Future Phase start and end?

it's shown in the official site, Future Phase for this week and next week is Friday-Sunday.

That's because it's a Camellia (with Nanahira) song. THIS is the new Prim song:

---

After some few plays, I'm quite satisfied with the default song so far
Vulkan, Blaze it up!, Amnolys and Erosion Mark are so far my favorite
I was also pleasantly surprised by the new Nagai song (紅牡丹) and Sota's illuminate

Ah, it should be noted however that all the Leggendaria songs from Spada are still not unlocked and are only playable in Extra Stage within the Leggendaria folder, so no change from the last version (I was expecting to try those Hyper Full Combo, but not being playable all the time kill my motivation).
I have no idea if Qprogue songs are unlocked by default or not however

Now, to wait for some monster to find the Extra Song this time (going by the past trends, there is a good chance it'll require 3 FC on specific songs...)

Qprogue stuff is unlocked, I played The Detonator on my session just now.

Also on a funny note, I noticed a Konmai on ZZ's genre, it was spelled as "Inteligence"

From what I've seen in nsinaa's channel, I made this list based on song (there is no specific order in each category). I feel this is a step up from Spada's default song list in general. Charts are a different story and for another day.

Theme-wise, I dislike that present is a little too much like Tricoro as stated from multiple users. So much more effort could have been put into this. The sound that triggers when you move through on the song wheel sounds dreadful. The default theme bgm for present sounds ok though.

Afro Knuckle sounds soooo good!

I like Carmellia's songs on REFLEC BEAT, so I'm kind of disappointed in his IIDX debut.

On a side not, SpaceLand☆TOYBOX is really good. I like that we are getting more OSTER project songs that's outside the Devilz like stuff.

BUMP: I've noticed a ton of the DAN course have been changed (about time). For example, 8 DAN now has Präludium as first stage and Miracle 5ympho X as 3rd. 5 DAN's 3rd stage is now Mermaid Girl [H]. Also Insane Techniques [A] is now an 11 and ra'am [N] is now an 8. I wonder what other changes were made.

---

Dang, Pendual's interface is gorgeous. Is there any info on how often it switches over to "future"?

So far Afro Knuckle is my favorite thing ever.

The theme changes every 3 days.

Just in case ,
「Qprogue」「SUPER STAR 満 -MITSURU- 完全復活祭」「GUMI 5th Anniversary party Presented by BEMANI」
Are all unlocked for default.


Details for Expand-Judge,
PGREAT and GREAT Timing increases by 4times. I don't know about decrease of GOOD, BAD, and POOR.
Of course scores and clear lamps will not be saved.
However you still can get tran medals from this (Example First time of playing Lv.5
You can not use this option in dani ninntei(段位認定) and HAZARD mode.

It's kind of laughable how Insane Techniques went up to 11 (which is understandable), while at the same time, they give us Rave Saves You feat. Cardz as a level 10 when it's as difficult as Insane Techniques. This ending is seriously hard, and I don't see myself going normal on this song (nor Ex-Harding it)

For the other changes, Rise had its track corrected (one of the instruments was delayed by a mesure at half the song, resulting in something different from the original song). So you don't have the little last stairs at the end of the chart either

Why is Afro-Knuckle an 11...

It was a must to do for the staff since PENDUAL takes GOLD as a reference. Nice!!

VANESSA's video was removed from the beatmania IIDX arcade games in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro due to technical issues. It was replaced with a generic video. However, its original video could still be found in the hard drive data, and its unique title card remained.

Old news.

-snip wow it was already answered on this page-

Finally a IIDX that makes me want to move again just to play it.
