Well, there should have been a new song in Voltex if there wasn't this epic fail with the machine trouble (and the rage over the internet incoming >.>)
To be honest, one song is more than enough (especially since it would have been the first 16 on Gravity, which should once again set the charts off). Last year, UltraPlayers was the only real threat (even if it was fun to have 2 new songs instead of only one)

Actually, it was 2 songs chosen by the finalist and the new 16 on sight-read, but since both finalist chose UltraPlayers, another song was chosen from a ballot and "it just happened" to be Bangin
Actually, up till there, it was pretty awesome, seeing top class players playing last year strongest song and making it a piece of a cake was an awesome build up!...if it wasn't for the upcoming konmai time...

And for clarifications on Reflec, because of the number of players (and the fact that it's a 1 vs 1 game), they held 2 matches at the same time (both with different songs, chosen randomly from a list selected by the contestants)
So one camera was a video from the game itself from on of the matches, while the other was a live-camera showing the other pair

Anyway, Beatstream won at the game of mind-blowing new song (the difficulty just became absurd suddenly). Even the finalists who can Perfect the hardest song couldn't even clear it after 2 tries (or more, I don't know how much they practiced before).
Introducing 2 new types of notes as well (with slides starting from the center and a new "tap" button in the middle of the screen) may have been part of the reason as no one is used to see those and it'll take some time to get used to it

I loved the crowd gasped when everyone was able to hit fast at the beginning of black emperor and went nuts over black emporer FC and bangin burst FC.

And i don't know about others, but when RB did split screen, my attention was towards the chart with music in sync. I can't really understand charts without the appropriate music. Is the live stream changed to where they were able to showcase more?

I don't play BeatStream a lot, but introducing those new notes sure was interesting. I found it pretty funny to see a finalist fail it. I don't expect myself beating it after 50+ tries though haha.
