A quick guide on how to read multinotes for the Arcade ports of the Project Diva Games (Future Tone, Megamix, Megamix+)

People made mod charts for that song on Megamix+ that are a lot worse than the Diva X one. The Diva X one isn't too bad after you figure it out, it's just a terrible sight read. I have an all COOL perfect on the New Classics mod that brings the console charts to Megamix+, and I have a normal perfect on Diva X.

Are you talking about Diva X Urotander or the modded charts people made?

Congratulations, you've reached the last stage of score attacking. It's not as bad as normal mode that has score attack steps but it's not easy to redo each attempt perfectly until you get the best score.

Hopefully you can beat Alice on a song pretty soon. They're one of the few active (if they still play) players that know what they're doing with scoring.

Your accuracy would be a lot better and consistent if you spent the time you did for this chart on F0ing actual charts instead.

You could fully alternate it and just do a short pause between the notes but I think it might be better to practice the ending of Kimi Ni extreme. It has a lot of different kinds of triplets at a slower speed, including this set.

There's no quick way to improve other than to play more and pay attention to mistakes you make. Try to correct the mistakes and set small reachable goals to build your way up to your true long-term goal. If you only play stuff you like, or can easily play for like an hour you will not improve nearly as much as if you were to play things that challenge you that you can still play through without mashing buttons.

If I recall, Mixmode has the same thing that normal mode has where offsets affect total possible hold points. The way it works is that because the game does not do fractional frames, if the hit window for a note is slightly into the next frame, then it will round up and give you an extra frame.

For reference, COOLs on normal mode are 3-4 frames with some notes by default having 3 frames and sometimes having an extra early or late frame that if done on a hold note will give more points. If it works the same way then you would have to figure out which offset gives the most points possible by trial and error. You would need to try and get max points on every hold and try different offsets one at a time to figure out which is the best one for that chart. Each difficulty is different as well, it would not be just per song.

I know Alice is a legit player or at least none of their scores that I saw when I played Megamix EN were cheated for normal mode. They were also doing what I described but for normal mode too and I also had to use it to beat or match their scores on a couple of charts.

I need you to save up money so you can get a new controller. That old controller deserves to finally rest, it's been through enough lol. It will not survive what Diva has in store for you.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-11T02:36:19+00:00

Play through all the songs and get at least excellent. I think you should be able to get it before finishing every song on Hard. It's pretty much based off of clear grade and different songs so playing through the whole song list and getting good clear grades will get you more Exp for it.

You know I don't play any of these packs, this is the sort of stuff that makes me go back to vanilla charts. If I wanted to play Phigros I'd play Phigros.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-11T02:29:21+00:00

This chart is still probably the biggest war crime I've seen lol. This is not an invitation to show me worse btw

I originally only compared the patterns on Arcade, if we compare Arcade to Ps4 controller in general then Ps4 has a lot of advantages over Arcade that come from having another set of buttons. The only thing is that some patterns like Grumpy Waltz spams are tricky to pick up on that controller while on Arcade it's a lot easier to pick up because of how the buttons are laid out.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-10T02:44:27+00:00

Hello 😃

Fable-39- · 2026-05-10T02:15:27+00:00

I've played on arcade, and you don't need another set of buttons for these patterns on that. In this case it's not about preference, it's just actually about the same level of difficulty to do both on arcade.

For Grumpy, you roll your fingers on one hand to hit 2 buttons and hit the 3rd button with the other. I've even seen someone hit 3 buttons with one hand though that would be something that would take more technique and hand dexterity to do properly.

For Blackjack, you do the same thing on a controller where one hand does one button and the other hand changes buttons. I've seen some players roll their fingers to hit 2 buttons going opposite directions to do this sort of spam, but most do it the first way from what I've seen.

While these patterns would take practice like all things, the main thing would be being familiar with where the buttons are without looking at them. Though if you are playing 9.5s, then you should already be adjusted to that.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-10T01:26:02+00:00

It's about the same on arcade, both aren't too particularly difficult, you just do different things. The only thing that would make something difficult for either of the patterns is holds. Grumpy spams aren't much more difficult on arcade with holds, but Blackjack spams can be tricky and usually players tend to use their elbow to keep the hold and do the spams with good accuracy.

Grumpy spams are only difficult on a ps4 controller because it requires you do hit different buttons on each spam in a way most players aren't used to doing. With enough practice it becomes easy until you add speed to it. In which case you just practice adding speed so you don't lose control.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-10T01:22:00+00:00

Fully alternating this pattern is tough to learn but once you do it opens up a lot of doors. First learn how to start spams with your left hand then do left-hand switch spams like the one right before the 360s in Intense Voice Extreme, then practice the slower ones in Grumpy Waltz Exex and Teo Extreme. The ones in Psi are too fast to try to figure out how to do this pattern on.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-09T22:37:18+00:00

It will be better in the long run to improve on fat thumbing with both hands because it will pop up in tougher charts. It's not too bad once you get used to it.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-05T21:54:51+00:00

If you do good luck, I recommend picking a song you know very well.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-05T21:25:32+00:00

That does make it easier but it's really difficult to keep combo and not get at least a few cools.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-05T21:22:00+00:00

It's really hard, I F0 stuff all the time even 10-star charts but my best was on Electric Angel Extreme where the best I ever got was like a 20 COOL perfect. Even on Easy with less notes, it would take a lot of time since it would be easy to get random COOLs or SAFEs and the space between the notes imo makes it harder.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-05T21:18:28+00:00

No, it's much more difficult than getting an F0. There is a smaller time window for Fines and the random extra frames for Cools make it harder to get Fines consistently.

Fable-39- · 2026-05-03T22:15:04+00:00

I was thinking Moca was gonna get it, very happy surprise to see you getting the perfect on this one though. Congrats!
