#ddr 3rd mix
Text
No art here again. I've been playing DDR 5thMIX for the past month, trying to get all 228 Gallery Images, and I have to say. It's worth it, even after playing 500 goddamn songs. Here are some images that I gathered of the Konsento and Zukin characters from that gallery.

October 20th, 2023 - SDVX EG, Groove Coaster, Project DIVA, DaR, PIU PHOENIX, DDR A3
THE TRUE DAY OF RECKONING HAS ARRIVED, NOW IT'S REALLY TIME FOR MOTL5 GAMING!!! but first, isn't this card the absolute coolest??? i got it while checking into the event, slapped a crude drawing of my fursona onto it, and now i'm geared up n ready to destroy!!!
so i went to waffle house for the very first time with my family to eat breakfast (very good experience btw, i already miss the chocolate waffles), then we set off to spend the whole day at the mall and GUESS WHO I FOUND FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
IT'S BOMBER IN REAL!!! IN THE FLESH!!! WITH HIS ICONIC LACH TOWEL!!! AND HE KICKED MY ASS AT SDVX!!! (but he gave me haruka e-amuse pass to compensate :])
always wanted to meet him in person and the dream had become REAL, SUPER COOL EXPERIENCE!!!
also random tangent but while we were playing sdvx, it turned out the PIU Phoenix kit was installed overnight and was being played while we were playing?? just last night it was XX... but i guess now i'd finally get a taste of the new system for the first time!
since all the dance game cabs (except DaR) were occupied for tourneys, i decided to warm up with the alternative... the busted old unused cabs! gc is so broken whyyy
bonus: HAPPY FAMILY feat. moca and uli!!! (the tiny kohammy is mine)
but now, after all those exhilarating meetings and fun times, it's time for the real deal, my personal action moment of the event... it was TOURNEY TIME!! STARTING WITH PIU PHOENIX!!! warmups were simple, trying out the new songs and getting used to the pads,
but then, it was the real deal vs MajinnTy in a waterfall-style bracket... and after almost getting wrecked with the top-right arrow dropping continuously... i managed to beat him 2-1 and took 2nd place in the pool!!! but since it's waterfall format (i didn't realize this until later), i got thrown into the redemption pool with everyone else and wouldn't get to play until later... but in retrospect that was STILL such an impressive victory.
so once the redemption pool started, i got put up against EMCAT, who had been slowly upgrading from level 2 up to here. it was a weird match, but i hypothetically managed to 2-0 in my set, getting this sick 985k on beat of the war! but once again, it wasn't enough to beat the acc gods in the pool, PacRob and Ty, and i ended up 3rd out of 6 in the bracket, which left me a little dejected to see i wouldn't have my dark horse moment in my first tourney... but in retrospect i worked against the odds and managed to do really well!!! such a nice showing personally, and i'm excited to train some more and try again some other time! (also the 2nd image is from the commentary that my friend watched when i was up which is why i mentioned the dark horse moment, forever alone...)
but NOW!!! IT WAS TIME FOR THE 2ND AND LAST TOURNEY OF MINE FOR THE NIGHT, THE ONE THAT WOULD SEAL MY POTENTIAL OVERALL LEGACY, THE DDR A3 TOURNAMENT!!! unlike the previous PIU tourney, this was a round robin format where all 4 players got to play against each other once in a best-of-three set. and after a set between two others in my pool, i was up for some back-to-back sets, starting with LUBANAHHHH
having warmed up already with pump, i decided to pick long train runnin' challenge for my warmup to confuse the commentators, but then the REAL action began. our first song was lubanah's pick, New York Evolved (Type A) DSP-13 (fucked up), which i dominated solely thanks to MA! and then when it was my pick, i PFC'ed Yoidore Shirazu ESP-13 on-stream once again, taking the set 2-0!!
next up was against KINDLADY/Zaphine, where we both went in without warmup and played Xepher CSP-15 (Zaphine's pick) and Mess With My Emotions ESP-12 (my pick), and i took the set 2-0 again!! except with such a close call on Mess With My Emotions...
and finally in my pool, i played against MisterGuy in both Step Machine ESP-14 (my pick) and Healing Vision (Angelic Mix) ESP-13 (MisterGuy's pick), where i would just barely win Step Machine by 2 points (even got clipped on the Ohio DDR channel), and then PFC Healing Vision to claim my 2nd in-tourney PFC, taking the set once again 2-0 and advancing to level 9 with a perfect performance!!!
level 9 came and i was put up against SnowStorm/SIM, thejurok, and gabbyjay, which would be where my demise would come... only before a bunch of cab crashes! no scores for most of these unfortunately, but i was bested 0-2 by SnowStorm on Revolutionary Addict ESP-13 and PARANOiA Revolution DSP-14 (my MA wasn't quite up to par on either songs, probably exhaustion from only eating before my pump tourney...)
for my set against jurok though, i won my first pick; roppongi EVOLVED Ver.D ESP-15, even despite forgetting to disable my sudden+ before the speedup!!! i forgot what his pick was, but i lost it and lost the tiebreaker too, MAX 300 DSP-12, in order to lose the set 1-2...
then lastly, the final and most ultimate set... the one against longtime Black Flag Academy admin and potential rival, GABBYJAY!!! this set was super funny because we both won each other's picks (he won Bang Pad(Werk Mix) ESP-13, i won osaka EVOLVED (TYPE1) DSP-13), and for the tiebreaker we got New Gravity CSP-14...
and after such an intense battle not shown on stream due to the sheer intensity and vulgarity (actually the stream was what was causing the cab to crash repeatedly), we finished the song and looked at each others' scores to see the results, and...
...by two points. i got a PFC up from a 988k, on-stream, not having seen the chart before, and yet i fell short by such a tight margin, losing the set once again 1-2...
but overall, super satisfying performance from both ends (and super funny reaction)!!! i loved this experience even if i didn't advance twice (which is fine, level 9 was more of a victory lap anyways LOL i was just a silly little teen playing against intimidating adults). but that did indeed conclude my tournament run at the mistaketh on the laketh, so until next time! thanks all who tuned in and cheered me on in chat, the support was so nice to read back at the hotel! but there's still 2 more days of the event to enjoy, so let's enjoy 'em!

The cast of dancers from DDR KARAOKE MIX.
The game had its own version of KONSENTO and a new angel nurse ZUKIN.
Twitter user @_987123879113 has ripped their models and put them into Stepmania, so you can see how they look like in motion.

Earlier today, one of my roommates was recommending some rhythm games to me (he's new and doesn't really know what I've played), mainly rhythm games because that's all he knows I'm really into. One of them was Crypt of the Necrodancer.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that I really, really don't like that game.
In fact, I've kind of noticed over time that aside from a few outliers, I don't really enjoy most video games. Sometimes Nintendo will release one of their major titles and there'll be something intrinsically rewarding about playing it, but aside from your Wild Breaths and Odd Marios, I can't think of many video games I enjoy that aren't either a rhythm game, or Rivals of Aether.
The biggest draw of rhythm games to me is how intense and intricate they can get. The flow state you get into trying desperately not to drop your combo in osu! is thrilling in ways I can't describe. Playing a song that you couldn't even pass just a month ago, and realizing that you only got a single miss, and if you just play it like 2 more times maybe you'll FC it. Thoroughly destroying one of the hardest songs in a given game, turning to the high score board, and thinking, "I bet I could do that." And then showing your friends who don't play, and hearing them ask, "how is that even humanly possible??" And all the while, only consciously feeling like you're just really good at listening to cues in music and pressing buttons to it. The dexterity just feels natural at some point, like you should've been able to do it from the start, like all you needed was to surpass a mental barrier.
Rhythm games have had a bit of a resurgence lately, but they've been mostly dead for a while outside of Japan. They're pretty expensive to make, legally confusing, and hard to export. Once Guitar Hero and Rock Band died, we basically had nothing new for years. So the latest trend has been to combine rhythm games with other genres, allowing for more minimal soundtracks and a greater focus on gameplay that western developers are more familiar with designing. We've got rhythm game, but it's a first person shooter; rhythm game, but it's a platformer; rhythm game, but it's a roguelike. It seems like every couple of years, a new one pops up, and the gaming world goes nuts for a new rhythm game (finally!)
But when you combine genres, you have to make compromises somewhere. And unfortunately for people like me, the intrinsically fun parts of rhythm games are the parts that are hardest to make fit in with another game without making it unreasonably hard. All the fun charting, quickly intuitive gameplay, is the first thing to get ripped out and replaced. No one wants to play a rhythm roguelike where the charting is insane but the combat is easy, secondary. It'd make you wonder why they added the roguelike elements in the first place. But when it comes to rhythm aspects, it's much easier to justify just adding that for extra flavor. A game's gotta have music, so it's not too far of a step forward to have the character just move to the beat.
But just pressing the buttons to a four on the floor beat does not make something fun to me. It doesn't match the music in any meaningful way, and I can't get into the flow of it because I'm too busy thinking about how to navigate around a dungeon I've played like, 15 times already, and I keep dying right before the frickin boss, and it stopped being fun after like the 3rd try.
I don't think Crypt of the Necrodancer is a bad game, or any of these other rhythm game hybrids. Clearly, a lot of people find them very fun. They often have very catchy music, commissioned exclusively for those games. Camellia did a track that you hear in the first level of Mad Rat Dead, and it is a total banger. But it gave a lot of people a very different idea of rhythm games than what a lot of us who already love the genre enjoy, and I can already see the effects of that among gamers who are unwilling to give pure rhythm games a try for being too hard, or too simple.
Luckily, there is hope. Friday Night Funkin' is super close to more arcade-style rhythm games like Guitar Hero, or DDR (its closest inspiration), mixed with some of the more approachable gameplay of games like Parappa, and all at a difficulty that any average person should have no trouble playing. Even the tougher charts are trivial to pass on your first or second try. And lots of people, especially younger gamers at just the right age to be forming their tastes, are in love with it. It's been such a massive success that the kickstarter reached all its (serious) stretch goals in just a few weeks, reaching over $2M raised by the end of its campaign.
I have no idea if they'll actually deliver on all their promises. That's an absurd amount of money, and an equally absurd roadmap they have to follow. But what that says to me personally is, regardless of if it's cartoon rap battles or something completely different, the west is ready for another big rhythm game to hit it, no caveats required. All we need is someone willing to make it.

A drawing I made back in 2016 that was inspired by the DDR 3rdMIX song "Silent Hill," to celebrate the coming of Christmas.

I did the art for #paradiseonline 3rd mix!!!
I made the mascots.
First up is Deshima-chan! The DDR and parapara idol!!
When I was hired for this I was asked to make two mascots 1) as a DDR idol and 2) a mech for said idol. My theming was Y2K and DDR, so I got inspiration from both those and parapara videos and games like JSRF and Space Channel 5.

October 3rd, 2021 - DDR A20 PLUS, WACCA Reverse
UPDATE: it appears this session was hit the hardest with google photos wanting to clear out space by deleting some specific screenshots, so i slightly rewrote this post to accomodate the missing scores i retrieved from twitter. please excuse the interruption, and hopefully i'll take images from both so this doesn't happen again)
it's time to get silly with it !!! starting off my session strong fit, and awesome by playing a set of doubles just to rise in the SkillAttack rankings for LOVE IS ORANGE (and was immediately humbled by not knowing how to play doubles)
then after that session, i remember i needed to grind points to secure my position in gold class before the golden league ended, so i went and played Last Brutal Sister Flandre S 3 times in a row in an attempt to paralyze my lower body!!! GOD this is such a funny set to do, but also such a hellish one (esp with the stamina required to play on gold cab compared to white cab)
now where else was i... oh right i remember!! this was the day i got my FIRST 15 AAA!!! GLOBE GLITTER!!!!! i'm moving up in the world so proud of myself!!
now, originally the only thing this post said was something that ended with "but the only pic i took was the set summary at the end" since i couldn't find any images in google photos other than this set summary. but after looking on twitter, i found TWO FULL SCORES from this same set (though the only two unique scores, since apparently i got the same score on pekomiko twice in a row??)
meanwhile, i kept playing 15s on ddr and you know what i got? MORE 15 AAAs. 2 with Lost One's Weeping, 3 with Hyper Bomb, 4 with OVERSOUL (hehehe check out that epic fail next to hyper bomb), missed Cirno's Perfect Math Class by a few thousand, and 5 on Oh my! Lovely! Sweetie! Darling!
also i knew something was missing here, so i went to check through discord servers and on this day, i actually DID get cirno's perfect math class after my oldest sister showed up for bowling. so that's going from zero to SIX 15 AAAs in a single day
bonus: got her to record me playing PARANOiA (kskst mix) and running out of breath in a mask (oughh)
Late edit: I had 2 scores hiding in my e-amuse app that I didn't include originally, and they were The World Ends Now (on white cab) and the PARANOiA kskst seen above
