SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN (AC)

New feature to be added tomorrow:

Here's the info I got so far:
- You can play Omega Dimension under two conditions: when your blaster gauge is full and when you're on the bonus tune (EXTRACK). Speaking of which, you'll be able to play not three, but four songs with one coin. Once you unlock (or in SDVX terminology "salvage") all 8 songs, you can play the bonus tune in the exact manner as the other three tunes.
- You have to clear one of the 8 tracks in order to unlock it.
- Just like in Blaster Gate, each of the Omega Dimension songs have barrier ranks that indicate how much the blaster gauge will drop every time you miss.

All I hope is that the feature functions so that when I clear an Omega Dimension song at a difficulty higher than ADV, I also unlock all the difficulties that are easier. In other words, if I clear the MXM chart, I basically unlock all four difficulties in one go.

Huh, fascinating concept for this new ΩDimension set. It's basically a parallel of artists and styles from the first two 6th KAC sets--some are slight twists on the earlier tracks, with a couple grand departures to mix things up (I like Camellia's variation the best so far). Here's what we've got:

神獄烙桜 - かゆき (BPM 258)
ULTiMATE INFLATiON - cosMo@暴走Genocider (BPM 451[!?])
Juggler's Maddness - Lite Show Magic (BPM 250)
Mirrorwall - BlackY (BPM 144)
Deadly force - Noah (BPM 300)
Staring at star - MisoilePunch♪ ～タケノコ添え～ (BPM 250)
セイレーン ～悲壮の竪琴～ - ぺのれり (BPM 93-214)
Dyscontrolled Galaxy - かめりあ (BPM 161)

FINAL BOSSES:
WHITEOUT - かねこちはる (BPM 198)
FIN4LE ～終止線の彼方へ～ - カモメサノエレクトリックオーケストラ (BPM 256 [apparently pretty glitchy upon release, should have proper charts in very near future])

I miss not being near a Round 1 at the moment...

The irony of this new event is that it's actually harder to unlock the MXM charts than the MXM charts themselves.

---

This new event seems very interesting! I wonder if it means SDVX 5 is on the horizon...

---

It hasn't been a year since SDVX IV's release yet. It's still a little too soon for another sequel at the moment. Perhaps expect one next year.

Don't get me started on Dyscontrolled Galaxy MXM. Took me about 15 attempts to clear that shit. A fellow friend of mine said it's more of a 21.

---

This is such an evil unlock. Have to pay double for blaster start. And it is not easy to unlock these songs in blaster gauge.

Did it ever occur to you that the Omega Dimension menu resembles that of the stage selection screen in Mega Man 2?

---

So, it's almost time for the next Tenkaichi Otogesai, and seeing how this is the most-updated page among the participants, I might as well post the news here. This comes from the latest website update of the tournament series.

This year's first block of songs is slated to October 13th for every party (except CHUNITHM, which will have its song load on early November). SDVX will receive Izakuchi (from CHUNITHM), Scarlet Lance (from Groove Coaster) and Sacred Ruin (from Taiko no Tatsujin). Kyokuken is the SDVX song that will be shared to the other three major arcade series.

Ikazuchi moving from Chuunithm to other games....be prepared to cry seriously

Continuing the trend that Dyscontrolled Galaxy started of "19s that aren't 19s", here's For UltraPlayers HVN.

This week's Blaster Gate update in a nutshell:

Yes, I made this by the way, believe it or not.


Made this one too.

OmegaDimension returns tomorrow! Nine new songs to unlock:

闇夜に舞うは紅の華 / TAKU1175
Far Away / lapix
#SpeedyCats / RoughSketch a.k.a. uno(IOSYS)
OPEN MY GATE / ARM×狐夢想 feat. RINA (I've)
Hug!! Vs. Hug!! / はるなば
BEAST BASS BOMB / Hommarju
Cy-Bird / Yooh
All Clear!! / sky_delta

FINAL BOSS:
TWO-TORIAL / BEMANI Sound Team (PHQUASE vs DJ TOTTO)

---

Damn. At least we got the artists this time, but I'm honestly not certain that will remain being the case.

Songs are overall a difficulty level down from the first Omega Dimension.
Cy-Bird: 5/11/14/17, 160 BPM
Far Away: 5/12/14/17, 155 BPM
All Clear!!: 5/11/14/17, 164 BPM
闇夜に舞うは紅の華: 5/12/15/17, 174 BPM
BEAST BASS BOMB: 6/10/15/18, 170 BPM
Hug!! Vs. Hug!!: 6/13/16/18, 120 BPM
OPEN MY GATE: 5/12/15/18, 175 BPM
#SpeedyCats: 6/13/16/18, 226 BPM
TWO-TORIAL: 7/14/17/19, 213 BPM

I find it odd how they used both "BEMANI Sound Team" AND an artist name in the same credit for one song...

---

I thought I would share this to express just how seriously messed up Dyscontrolled Galaxy MXM is. And yes, I made this believe it or not.

Next update is the final(?) batch of 6th KAC contest songs:

Destruction & Qreation / polysha+inusack
PIERROT KNIfE / まろん (IOSYS)
DropZ -Line- / Getty vs. DJ DiA
Chaotic Romance / はるなば
Xibercannon / 隣の庭は青い (庭師 + Aoi)
おにいちゃんハイテック / 立秋 feat. ちょこ
Khionos TiARA / Ellim Gnirps vs よみぃ
Goddess Bless You / winddrums

Also, Be A Hero! is in the qualifiers for The 7th KAC, alongside Staring at star MXM and For UltraPlayers EXH. I definitely wasn't expecting this song to get such hard charts across every game it's in.

Big update tomorrow to commemorate the 6th anniversary of SOUND VOLTEX.
1: New original song, VOLTEXES IV / (no artist but presumably Sota Fujimori)
2. The two BeatStream POLICY BREAK songs will now be unlockable with Blocks. INSECTICIDE and HAVOX when
3. Eight (!!) BeatStream crossovers: メイビ〜初恋!?, CARNIVOROUS,それは花火のような恋, びいすと!, , スカイダイバー, Lost Wing at.0, SPACE VILLAGE, and トキメキストリーム. You'll be able to unlock one per credit, up until February 19 at 5 AM JST.
4. There will be a special stamp campaign until 2/18; you can get a maximum of 10 stamps per day (?). Getting 30 stamps gives a special appeal card, and getting 60 will give an as of yet unknown reward.
5. New Genesis Card set available until 2/18.
6. Special SKILL ANALYZER course will be available until 2/18; clearing it gives you a new selectable title.
7. Track Liberation returns until 2/18, allowing you to unlock 5 random songs each day!
8. New HVN charts for 孤独の番人, Ray, and Wheel available through BLASTER GATE.

Remember that Asia-exclusive FLOOR contest from 2015?
Looks like they're finally adding the winning songs and Appeal Cards from said contest on Thursday.

Huh, no song/artist reveals? Guess that'll have to wait until the songs are actually added.

And here there are now, clockwise from the top as per that image:
Lionheart / P4koo
planetarium / SUi
Random Box / LATI
BREAKNECK NY☆N! NY★N! / ZerA
