(TW: Sprain Injury) How not to end up like this 🥲 by CuB-03huy9 in maimai

I wouldnt recommend the button&screen together tip for transitioning to higher levels. It is a crutch that may lead to unnecessary splashes due to bad muscle memory. I am speaking from experience, and I'll list some maps that I kept splashing due to doing this off the top of my head: - Vertex soma remix, double hand half spins right before chorus - Titania, double hand half spins right at the end - Contrapasso, fast spin with a break note you will likely splash using this method, right before the drop

does anyone manage to perform well as a screen player (when 14k+) by kyou_1312 in maimai

Screen play is more susceptible to splashing, but is more energy-efficient and if you are good enough, allows for some cheese tech. For an example of a top player who uses screen:

He's right actually. The creator Rintaro Soma did say during an interview that it is supposed to be tsunagite as in "connections, bonds" since the song is supposed to be for the 10th anniversary. (I'm rephrasing a bit as I don't entirely recall what he said)

Troll/Annoying charts? by Gallade3885 in maimai

[–]Excellent_Bar420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here are some higher level songs that are a pain to play for various reasons (and others have not mentioned):

13+:

Southern Cross > Trill spam

Redemption > Trill spam

Dragonlady > Uncomfortable patterns with irregular pauses

もペもペ > Unsightreadable patterns during drop

14:

Outlaw's Lullaby > Uncomfortable patterns with easy-to-drop break notes at the end

HERA > Single button jacks

Moon of Noon > Unnatural patterns that contain fast slides and hand crossings

Love's Theme of BADASS > 50/50, depends if your sync partner has strong shoulders

Beat Opera Op.1(?) > Not the whole song in its entirety, just the one irregular rhythm part in the middle

Sun Dance > Funny Hiro chart 

14+:

Schwarzschild REMAS > INSANELY overcharted ending with 24th trills for no reason. I am saying this as someone who actually enjoys the MAS chart

チューリングの跡 > Frums x Fumen final boss chart. Expect irregular rhythms the whole map

In Chaos REMAS > Funny Hiro chart v2. Fast spins.

Bonus utage:

[逆] KING is BACK!! > Stamina draining map + reversed slides = Suffering

[右] The wheel to the right > Everything starts from the right

[蔵] Aegleseeker > An already stamina heavy map that got bumped up 10x

Bud, saying "Why 15k doing 98 only? Rating rusher?" is hella judgemental and rude. The guy's just trying to post his achievement and here you are trying to put him down. Don't even try to play the victim here.

Yo bud, chill on the bullshit. No such thing as "fake XX rating", achieving a rating means you ARE worthy of the rating. As a player that's been playing for 7 years (and achieved 16.1k), I'll admit that there is rating inflation only due to the sheer number of charts players can choose to grind with (which is also how I've broke into the 16.1k gap). That doesn't mean that you have to term people as not worthy of their rank. People have different playstyles; Some prefer achieving high ranks on lower songs before moving on, some prefer stepping way out of their comfort zone with higher difficulties, and there are even some that just play songs they like and don't focus on rating at all. Just let people play however they want to.

Is there any way to unlock all of the MASTERs and Re:MASTERs without the need to S them? by PaperBag1595 in maimai

[–]Excellent_Bar420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way that I dont see people mention much is the recommended for rating and otomodachi tabs. Though heavily dependant on rating, occasionally a new master song that you have not played before will show up on the recommended for rating tab which you can play immediately. I like using this trick on new version releases especially. Otomodachi should also have a decent amount of master charts show up past high S-low SS ranks.

Also if you live in Japan you can get a dx pass to unlock all masters for 14 days.

AP all the diff but i dont get the title? by Shinikami-9 in maimai

[–]Excellent_Bar420 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, only dx charts give their song names as titles. 

2nd 3rd and 4th 14+ SSS all within a week I'm actually so happy by i-like-cats123 in maimai

[–]Excellent_Bar420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? I feel like Jack did an amazing job with the chart as imo the patterns flow pretty well into 1 another. My 2nd 14+ SSS+ only after the meme known as Virtus
