Australia's BIGGEST Arcade for Rhythm Games

[@radio100jogosdeemacs2]

I was searching for "maimai australia" and instantly found this video posted 16 seconds ago lol.

The way the Taiko machines are placed is so funny. You have 4 noise makers right next to each other, like it's asking you to disturb your arcade neighbor. Then there's 2 machines placed in such awkwardly random places that you'd not wanna play in due to noise pollution. Great video, might visit the land of the wild spiders one day.

[@FOHGeek]

12:53 Compared with genuine Maimai, these Chinese clones have more English pop and rock songs that‘re familiar to the general public in their database. However the chart design is some sort of messy and irregular, usually full of high-speed random taps without smooth linear motion trace designs...

[@xiandnico]

not to note they dont have proper licensing to the songs

[@shiniboros]

​@@xiandnicothey do, for the most part. all of the songs that have expired liscences had been removed (like the otokaze songs)

[@shiniboros]

tons of misinformation. dance cube is not just a "chinese clones", although the new show gamemode does look blatantly copied from maimai although dance cube has many chinese, kpop, and english pop songs, most of the active playerbase play the rhythm game songs (lunar paradoxxx, mujinku, aragami, etc) dance cube does get their music licensed, and no the charting isnt abnormal, you just suck (/j, but still)

[@lucarkirb]

I think chunithm could benifit from having vibration motors underneath the ground sliders so that the game give you haptic feedback when hitting notes, and not just some hard surface that makes it kinda awkward to play

5:07 UR MISSING OUT THEY CHANGED TAIKO TO 3 SONG

[@SpecFenn]

No way, Sydney got Wacca? There was a cab here in Melb but it got taken out randomly and I’ve missed my one true love (Wacca) ever since.

[@SaowAngel]

Come to Sydney

Wait there was a cab in melb? Where??

[@notTerabyte]

hasnt wacca been discontinued? edit: nvm, just online services back in 2022

[@anthipoison1951]

wacca in melb ??? where was it

[@vixinte]

Chunithm can be a bit weird with the notes like I'm fr hitting the notes and it said it's a a miss, but I think the game is really fun to play once you know what you're doing.

[@TheDevilchilly]

as a former osumania pro i still have problems with getting into chunithm bc of the wack note hitboxes and the godawful input delay on the touch panel that's proven to be delayed by like 20 frames on international 60hz cabs, japanese 120hz cabs mitigate this by delay of around 12-13 frames but still it's not super tactile like maimai. i love the game but it's surprisingly insanely hard to get into compared to maimai

[@PLAYER42_ready]

As someone from Darwin I am extremely jealous! We barely even have arcades let alone of that scale!

im going to sydney tomorrow for a few days in preparation for school. ill def check koko out

[@gotchamatcha]

2:11 correction: WA actually has 3 cabs now 😊. IM STILL SO JEALOUS THAT SYDNEY HAS 5 CABS IN ONE PLACE. man having no queue all the time would be a dream 😭

[@SaowAngel]

Mornings there's none, but weekend nights get busy as fuck

[@gotchamatcha]

​@@SaowAngelhow the fuck do sydney players track queue 💀💀 honestly we have a hard enough time tracking odd number q in WA with one cab

[@NotSoMLG_OCE]

@@gotchamatcha you just do, most of the time its groups of 2 and its pretty easy to track and if there's multiple singles then they just pair up. some place have a white board so that you can write down names on the list to track. I'm lucky since the Timezone I work at has a maimai cab and chuni cab which both almost get 0 play (legit i think its me and my mates that play plus an asian couple ive seen on a few occasions). Also the venue is like 5 months old so its a fairly new machine compared to the ones at Koko (2 of the 3 in the basement have fucked screens and the 3rd the buttons can be a bit iffy).

[@BehIsReal]

I wish we had something like this in Perth!!!

[@RizumiMirairo]

Fun fact, capcom (one who made cross beat) did collab w rayark for arcade cytus but it was cancelled

[@ガレクスイオン]

Not going to lie, thanks to the specific hand position, IIDX is literally the only game I *Wouldn't* recommend jumping into anything higher then a 3 because of that shit

[@ガレクスイオン]

also got to the chuni part, chuni feels bad to play simply because of that control alone. also those are not turntable knobs, those are volume knobs

[@Zaaviier]

20 people with 5 machine isn't much tbh Here in Indonesia, especially in surabaya where there's 20 people queue for 1 yes ONE out of the 2 machine here on the weekends 💀

[@Dracula737]

Same, we in another region would wait ONE HOUR to play ONE SESSION with randos and people even swipe their card to tell the player they are playing and then leave the cabinet to roam somewhere

[@veltlion8924]

​@@Dracula737 in Surabaya often you got 2 hours wait time for 1 session which honestly is just pure pain 💀

[@viviantan1034]

I had experienced that first hand with maimai DX Buddies... The waiting line feels awful.

[@balljointedbunny]

this makes me want to play maimai again >w

[@SaowAngel]

Do it!

[@maimai_KF]

Woah if I ever got a chance to go to Australia I would want to pay a visit there isn’t any arcade as big as this one in Taiwan

[@carlosmontano3877]

How does Australia have the money to acquire so much rhythm game machines? Most arcade centers in PH barely have a huge enough of space to accommodate so much machines (They still have a few maimai machines tho; maybe up to 3 machines) and they never bothered expanding into multiple floor levels. I feel like arcades in PH deserve more love and money.

[@kopetzzz]

2:01 was me lol come say hi, I also play almost all the rhythm games

[@SaowAngel]

Lmaoo sorry for stalking

[@Itashafan]

Bro is so lucky that looks amazing! 😭😭😭

[@Kibitz]

Seeing this makes me so sad with our rhythm game selection here in NZ :( Also I won’t stand for this Chuni slander 😠

[@DatMeleeMan]

9:31 If it helps, I had the exact same issue up until I turned on offset (I set my B offset to 1.0) and the game instantly felt a lot more natural to play and I was actually hitting notes. I think it's something to do with an offset that's only in the intl version.

[@Mtg2]

Go there all the time, its really the only place I go too

[@VocalEcho]

I went to Koko a couple years ago but only went to the downstairs rhythm game area and had no idea it was so huge lmao, maybe it didn't have the extra buildings back then

[@SaowAngel]

The new floors are new this year!

[@_EthanStone]

ofc tassie has jack shit lmao most we get is stacker although i did go to one arcade on the gold coast and got addicted to taiko with the shit sticks, cant wait to play with sticks that can roll

[@acedazespace]

cytus mentioned

[@ninhdang1106]

6 TAIKO MACHINES? what the hell in my city there's 2. TOTAL. they are 20 kilometers away from each other. also same problem here, no one plays Taiko but the maimai machines are always packed. It's good for me as a Taiko main because I don't have to queue, but the experience playing Taiko is not really the best: I have to get my own Bachi (which is cheap, thankfully) and the drum quality sucks (some places are dead input which breaks your combo even though you 100% fucking hit the correct spot for Don/Ka)

[@zamykalmaimai]

happy belated birthday old man

[@yumikoau]

There's only 1 cab in South Australia :( we only got our first one 3 months ago

[@SaowAngel]

I think I must of miss typed the amount of cabs lol

[@geometryshanes]

Noob

[@MysticTheFloofBall]

I'm so glad I'm not alone in being a noob at beatmania IIDX! The notes are so confusing for me to read, since they're on different levels... They should make the buttons different colors to distinguish them from others! I also look really awkward when playing Dancerush too, since I focus on making a full combo and not looking like a pop star in a #1 hit billboard song :,D. Also, with my experience playing Taiko no Tatsujin (machines from 2010 that have no online connection), you're able to play 4 songs if you're good enough, and it's one of the offline games I actually want to play since they have the opening song to my favorite anime (PreCure!). It's quite suprising you hate CHUNITHM since you like Maimai, but I like all rhythm games so I might just think that everyone has the same opinion as me XD. Although it's one of the biggest cities in the U.S, there aren't really any lots of big arcades for rhythm gamers in Los Angeles (Where I live) other than Round1 arcades, and they don't have much MaiMai machines here either. But since there is a location test for U.S Maimai, if that succeeds then I'd love to play more maimai!!

nice video im soo jealous i live in the uk and i cant travel so il never get to play arcade rhythm games 😭

I believe 2 is the default. I was the first person to play this game when nijiro arrived victoria (and probably australia), and it was just two songs. The american test cab is 1 song 💀

[@SaowAngel]

I believe they changed it to 3 now

[@shuc1337]

Depends on the arcade, it seems to be a setting technician staff can modify. Not sure if it's still the case but Garden City in QLD gave 4 songs for 1 credit.

[@xezoless]

9:35 It might not be your skill issue that you cant hit the notes. Actually, the international chuni cab is so flawed compared to the cab in Japan. I've never been to Austrailia before so it might be different from there but in my place, the input delay of chuni is about 200ms, compared to the cab in Japan which has 100ms of delay, its a fkin joke. I set judge B around 1.5~1.9 in int version but -0.3 in Japan cab and still gets fast lmao. It's really fun to play when you get used to it but reaching that level is frustrating either

[@Maho.]

> a video showcasing a single chain in one particular spot of one city Yeah I don't know if this guy actually paid attention to what the video is actually about. But I'm not the guy selling dead paradise lost cabs to Adelaide so what do I know

[@nitram_dx]

@@SaowAngel so many taiko machines: they aren't bought, they're leased, and until theres anything better to replace them with, arcades tend to fill empty space with just more machines. iidx cab design: it's designed this way to accomodate different people, some people find one side more comfortable than the other. it also enables double play. You also went straight into a 5 with no knowledge of the game, not sure what you expected. Calling chuni a project sekai clone is ????? i dont even like chuni and that came off horribly. SDVX: "right cab buttons feel nicer" bro theyre identical? Arcade of course feels better, the machine design is better, and everything is essentially "as it was meant to be played" - years of abuse is counteracted by good maintenance, and the cabs you played on are only a few months old. Purikura down the road, has 3 machines, which are years older, and they feel fantastic to play on too. It's all maintenance. also in a video showcasing arcade machines, why are you telling people to buy a controller instead, when you yourself said the machine was better? Gitadora "basically guitar hero" where do you think GH got the idea from? Crossbeats: you made a mistake because a japanese game, was in japanese, and you made such a big deal of it lol also every rhythm game is "basically x" - but it's just insulting and demeaning to constantly put points of comparison across like this. I think you should become more familiar with arcade rhythm games before making content around them. all the best.
