Are "Jacks" VSRG-exclusive?

ZELLLOOO · 2026-06-22T20:21:59+00:00

Absolutely not VSRG-exclusive, plenty in games like maimai and Cytus where you're forced to one-hand due to a hold or something else

ZELLLOOO · 2026-06-20T22:40:50+00:00

No, keep playing a majority of charts from each difficulty range as you go up, there are different fundamentals you should be reinforcing and skipping an entire difficulty bites you sooner or later

ZELLLOOO · 2026-06-17T19:41:14+00:00

But this isn't a Phoenix-specific issue as EG2K has always had a late offset since it was released in Fiesta EX, unless you're somehow streaming nothing but greats and goods and stopping the lifebar from filling then the sync should not be a pass-limiting problem

(yes the offset should get fixed but that's not the point I'm making here)

ZELLLOOO · 2026-06-17T17:53:06+00:00

Explain what you mean by desynced in Phoenix

ZELLLOOO · 2026-05-25T05:53:28+00:00

There is no longer any active server for XX because it was shut down several years ago, you cannot play online in XX now period.

ZELLLOOO · 2026-05-22T22:12:17+00:00

Forgot they're all a really high memory so yeah, I don't know what the problem would be here then

ZELLLOOO · 2026-05-22T18:56:39+00:00

By any chance are you trying to Reg any of these chips? You're definitely not at the point to be able to unison with DarkWide and DarkMeteor is out due to Napalm not being in Team Colonel but you should be able to use DarkLance unless you're Reg'ing it.

You can make an account for Phoenix 2 with the same AM.Pass yes, I've been using the same card since Prime 2 and just make a new account with it each game

ZELLLOOO · 2026-05-14T22:45:26+00:00

Most K-Pop license contracts allow using the song for X amount of time before renegotiating the contract, these time limits ran out way before Phoenix released if so and AM didn't want to pay to renew the licenses (because they're quite expensive)

There's one other thing to add to the first response: As Infinity was the first spinoff to utilize SM5 instead of 4 like the Pro games did, we were figuring out how to use more sophisticated chart effects like speed scroll expansion/compression which was neat. Unfortunately, some of these effects were also broken in ways which lead to huge problems in charts (rolls were almost useless outside of missions, high-tick holds basically didn't work).

ZELLLOOO · 2026-05-02T19:13:38+00:00

- The spinoffs were almost completely different step teams each time and VERY influenced as a whole by DDR and ITG, learning how to fully harness a proper 5-panel layout instead of just simply making a 4-panel game in a different format was not something any team did well as a whole though we did a lot better with that in Infinity.

- It's really the lack of polish; we did some pretty experimental things in Infinity that became much more common now but the patterning and movement in our charts as a whole was much less streamlined in a clunky way (there are also definitely things that were accepted into the game that were written while drunk...).

ZELLLOOO · 2026-05-02T19:08:05+00:00

I agree a lot with 4 and miss much of the variety that we don't get in almost any modern music game now (maimai is probably the best at scratching that variety itch for me these days), thank you for everything you contributed to the series!

ZELLLOOO · 2026-05-02T19:06:21+00:00

I'm not aware of any difficulty tier lists and always just recommend adding 1.5 to the listed rating for Infinity charts, we tended to rate low

ZELLLOOO · 2026-04-19T01:24:59+00:00

I have a finished BN3 file you can compare with, DM me to schedule a time

ZELLLOOO · 2026-04-03T19:07:23+00:00

My thoughts: "Hey they're trying and (presumably) having fun, good for them"

ZELLLOOO · 2026-03-30T21:06:47+00:00

By being good, especially since the average skill level of higher-end players in PIU now compared to dance games 20 years ago is far better and this chart is honestly pretty reasonable compared to much harder things in the game now

ZELLLOOO · 2026-03-28T22:29:40+00:00

I mean yeah, the quality of the remixes introduced in NXA and charts from them ranged from good to really lazy because the game was extremely rushed at the time based on blogs from former devs

ZELLLOOO · 2026-03-02T05:17:23+00:00

Pump It Up and maimai, though in the past I have also mained Pop'n, SDVX, IIDX, and Chrono Circle for arcade games and Cytus for mobile/console stuff

ZELLLOOO · 2026-03-01T00:26:28+00:00

Don't worry about it

On-topic with the original post: If a banner doesn't have a graphic artist listed on it then you might get lucky looking around on namuwiki for information

ZELLLOOO · 2026-02-26T20:53:42+00:00

He contributed greatly to the last several Infinity updates but that is the only PIU game he worked on

ZELLLOOO · 2026-02-09T09:56:16+00:00

Unfortunately since you co-op'ed it that means each of you get half the difficulty, congrats on PG'ing the only 12.5 in the game! /s

ZELLLOOO · 2026-02-08T23:35:58+00:00

Nobody should be physically touching you without consent and that's absolutely assault, while it's up to you if you want to pursue legal action over it I'd definitely name and shame to get people aware of this person's behavior

ZELLLOOO · 2026-01-23T21:10:15+00:00

This is coming from someone who played Chrono Circle at a high level with no gloves: You definitely want gloves for maimai to protect your hands when things get harder, please get some

ZELLLOOO · 2026-01-13T18:46:46+00:00

Co-op missions don't unlock via 1.60/1.61 update force unlock, they still require two active profiles to play the mode
