Best CHUNITHM introduction video in English 🥰 but there's still some expert skill that worth mentioning (yes ofc to make it fully covered): 2:07 There are actually 32 sections for the touchpad because each section divided by line you can see are actually sensing independently so you can hit the same vertical section in and out without making conflicts 4:24 The head of the hold notes are actually the same as basic red notes so you may get an Attack on the head or even miss a part of the hold if you miss the head; Same for the bent ones 6:04 You could tap the flick notes if the far left or (*and* for the huge ones) the far right section is in the range: in such cases once you touch those sections (only for the far left or the far right) you'll get a JC; But don't do that for flicks in the middle because you'll get an Attack if you only touch those without swiping; Flick notes count early judgements as JC so you could scratch them real fast 7:09 The Rating system is nearly the same as the Potential system in Arcaea. It's taking the average of the best 30 scores' average (b30) and the best 10 scores' average from your recent 50 plays (r10). Each song has a constant under the level and the final rating for each song is calculated from a piecewise function, where you get higher bonus in sections above SS (check this part in Chinese if you're really curious: zh.moegirl.org.cn/zh/CHUNITHM#Rating.E7.B3.BB.E7.BB.9F) 10:51 You could lose lives for an Attack or even Justice judgement in certain courses 12:18 If you reach SS in both Expert and Master difficulties of a song that owns Ultima chart you'll unlock the Ultima 19:53 The International version is not the worst because there's a Chinese version that's only updated to New+ version up to now 😇

This is like the only chunithm guide that exists on yt. I’m pretty disappointed I’m only finding this now cause this is cool and chunithm needs more attention so I hope this can help more players get into it !!!

[@losermanwins4338]

Awesome guide and great presentation! Good stuff 👌👌

[@Earthesion]

god tier video. The definitive primer to get into Chunithm

[@saladpoo]

by the way, for gloves, buy thin cotton gloves so you can slide easily while being able to move your fingers easily. on the other hand, for maimai i would suggest fabric gloves that are a bit thicker so they are durable and last longer. for ic cards, chunithm and maimai allow you to use banapassport (namco card) and aime cards.

[@demacy]

Super great video ! Cheers from France !

[@bwnzix]

Good video! im just going to add on somethings 1:27 : make sure if you are using a eamusement pass, they are the amusement IC version , which doesnt matter anyways as they dont sell the old one anymore, BUT STILL yea 2:30 : 120hz Cab, aka Gold Cab, is only available in Japan, while the rest of the world should only have white cabs, unless something have changed 7:31 : "very gold" is usually refer as platinum, but it doesnt look close to plat for me... 19:32 : JP cab runs around 4 month earlier than intl version, and while they might be on the same version right now, the patches are still different. and yes, the data are separate

[@waterdnk]

thanks for the corrections, but every AUS cab I've used has been a 120hz white cab

[@bwnzix]

ooo i see welp i didnt know they have 120 white cab@@waterdnk

[@waterdnk]

allg, may be a thing overseas

[@anthipoison1951]

@@waterdnk there are no international 120hz white cabs, the only 120hz white cabs are the ones ull see in jp that have been converted

awesome guide!! skills always confused me and this clarified a bunch 👍 also that was the wildest pronunciation of t+pazolite ive ever heard LMAO iirc u can just say it like the word “topazolite”

Now 7 months later... you can finally increase the Chunithm cab count in SA from 0 to 1 😂😂

[@Wmann]

With the upcoming version of Chunithm VERSE for international (most likely next year), this video won't be just a comprehensive enough guide, so I'll list/explain a bit on the major changes. Rating system has completely changed. For those who play Maimai, it's just the same thing but with top 20 for new songs (rating reset and everything). If you don't play Maimai, continue reading the next paragraph. The 30 best songs are still kept, but another section for 20 best is added, specifically for songs that came with the current version, for example, songs that came with VERSE for the next update. This new section is calculated into your rating. And since it will be empty the first time you log in, your rating will basically just reset to about 9 or 10 (rip rating). Don't worry, it's easy to get it back by just playing the new songs. Btw, every major version update will reset the 20 best section, meaning your rating will too, I assume. Plus, no more recent 10 means no more rating drops, yippie! Next up, the big rating boost for many charts. We thought Forsaken Tale being the first 15+ was crazy enough, but this buff shows that it's just a warmup, lol. Charts ranging from 14+ to 15 rating get buffed, to accommodate for the 15+ ceiling (15.7 for now). Many 14+ gets buffed to 15, or close to 15. Some charts of note that got buffed to 15 are Ascension to Heaven, MARENOL, Titania, etc. Some even got buffed to 15.1 or 15.2 rating, like Re: End of a Dream and MarbleBlue. Many existing 15s get buffed to 15+, some notable charts being the KOP charts being 15.5. As of right now, the highest rated charts are The Metaverse, inori, and Forsaken Tale, the three of them being 15.7. Finally, a new challenge is added, where you have to AJC the chart to get it (yes, akin to Maimai's perfect challenge). 10 life, AJC or die. In Japan as of right now, the current charts in the challenge is メッちゅう殴打 (14 MASTER) and Theatore Creatore (15 ULTIMA). Don't worry, the challenge will get easier over time. That's all the major changes and additions. If you wanna list more of the smaller changes (or exciting song additions) in the replies that I purposely left off, go ahead! I'm excited for VERSE :D

[@waterdnk]

My poor baby is getting outdated ;( With the significant changes coming with verse it's definitely something I'll revisit (even though I don't play as much), but it's gonna take a lot of time to learn all of the new things, more cause I won't really pay attention to the scene till I can play

[@Wmann]

@@waterdnkThe upcoming version is definitely fire tho I gotta say :0

[@dant876]

thank you for the guide even though we here in the states dont have active cabs

[@IamNikkiOne]

I only played once at an arcade and Im not sure of something. The size of the notes change from large, normal, and small, does it mean then that I have to adjust the number of fingers i use to tap the board with per section? If so, by how many fingers for standard? Or can all four fingers be used to tap even the small notes and it will be registered the same?

[@waterdnk]

you only need at least 1 finger to touch a note, the size of the note just lets you hit different areas

[@IamNikkiOne]

@@waterdnk Got it! Thanks!! 😊

[@nagato.1007]

curious, is there any way to be able to get or purchase characters from previous events i've missed out on?

[@yugao2]

May I know how do you access your favorite song folder in arcade

[@kitestar]

…slight addendum, any card with an AIC logo, typically a _red and white_ or _black and white_ symbol, depending on the brand of card will work no questions asked on aime games, in this case, chunithm and to an extent non-AIC Bandai passes

[@RemiliaScarletBcWhynot]

wait the screen is 120hz the whole time!? i thought its just 60hz

[@waterdnk]

JP cabs by standard are 120hz Intl cabs by standard are 60hz but can be modded ( and honestly the ghosting on some of them makes it feel like more than 60)

[@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735]

Awesome guide! I'm a vet in multiple rhythm games (pretty good in 10 + 15 average ++), and I actually didn't really understand the skills in chuni. I'm lvl 4 but my rating is 13.80 😂 i see other people my lvl usually playing exp 10s, but I'm S-SS for 13-13+ now

[@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735]

Update: Now my rating is at 15.35, now I think about it, 5 months to 15.35 from 13.80 is pretty damn long. (Now level 16). Really excited to reach 16 in rating.

[@Jackie_psk]

Hey! I have a Konami e-amuse pass, but i'm considering on buying a Aime because I mostly play sega, and I want to use the GekiChuMai websites with my account. Is it possible to transfer data from a Konami pass to a Aime pass? I already have data on chunithm and I don't wanna lose my full combos 😭😭

[@vplaythrough9761]

[@ethyl_alcohol774]

hi. is there a way to sort the music/charts into levels (increasing)?

[@waterdnk]

Pretty sure you can, don't remember how (since I just sort by levels instead of genre)

[@literatureandgaming-yt9352]

I bought a Nimo Card for Chunithm SUN. Can it work on another version? Especially this?

[@lorihime]

the cab i go to isn't online, but they have their own servers... i hope i can get luin as a character :( i like chunithm more than wacca but i love luin so im conflicted lol

[@SadisticFrog]

Thanks for the help, I couldn't figure out how to do the weird raise notes... apparently there are sensors at a certain height. (Also, I see Singapore on the map at the last picture, I'm gonna find that femboy place)

[@skedemon7361]

Im wondering, are there many songs available? Or u have to grind to unlock them? Also for characters, is there any way to obtain limited character?

[@hungmn13]

There's already 300+ songs w/o the need to unlock (yes, some do need to be grind via running the maps, or even crossplaying maimai and/or O.N.G.E.K.I) For limited time character, you either get them in that specific event, or wait for about 1 year (or more) so that it would appear in the shop, which cost ~100 P-Points per characters. (You gain 1pt for each credit you've paid (yes, if you use x2/x3/x4 tickets, you'd get extra) through out the games, capped at 30 per day if you're in Luminous version, or 15 if you're SUN+ and below).

[@skedemon7361]

@@hungmn13 oh fellow comrade lul Btw, i still don't understand how characters work, do they own different kind of skill? And is it important to try to get a specific character? (Tbh 100 p point sounds quite much money there lol)

[@hungmn13]

@@skedemon7361 Each character hold a skill (not counting Unlimited, Unlimited+, ...), when you unlock a character (which is available at rank 1), you'll gain 1 level for that specific seed skill (not all characters available with a seed skill, only characters that were released in SUN and Luminous allow you to gain skill seed now) When you leveling up them to rank 5, rank 10, rank 15 (or 20 for Luminous characters), you'd gain 1, 5, 1 rank for the skill respectively. Higher level skills give more gauge -> more steps -> completing maps faster. At rank 25, 50, and 100, giving you 1 rank for the unlimited skill. Except for the Unlimited skill, all skills may got removed when the new version got updated (e.g. when in SUN, you have NEW and SUN skill seeds, but now, in Luminous, you have SUN and LMN skill seeds). If you want to leveling up skills, just pick up (almost) all characters and leveling up to 10 (it's not that worth to aim for 15 and/or 20). And you should ignore all old characters, since they don't level up any of your skills anymore. There are some maps that give bonus steps when selecting a specific character, a genre, a chart level/diff, a character with rank above X, etc... Only at that time you may need a rank 25+ char to make your map progress faster. Other than that, leveling up characters just showing that you like one specific char as a waifu/husbando lol. It's just cosmetic and doesn't provide anything to the gameplay. ^ The only reason you should leveling up an old character. SOME characters have ONE transform version, which changes their appearance entirely, upon reaching 25 or 30 or something like that (a random multiple-of-5 that is >15). You get gold background of that character upon rank 15, plat? at 50, rainbow at 100+. You'd get a title upon leveling up a character to rank 50 (don't remember, maybe gold), 100 (plat title), 200 (rainbow title). You gain xp for your equipped character normally upon playing, and they gain xp faster if you use ticket (x3, x6, x9 character xp boost ticket). But at level 15, and every multiple of 5, you'd need to consume 1 (or more at higher level) golden statue to exceed the limit. You can substitue 1 gold statue with 5 silver ones. The exception is at rank 50, 100, and later (I haven't seen anyone got a character above 105, so idk), you'd need a Rainbow statue, which you can only gain it by logging in 25+ days within a month (wow, arcade addict, jk) and in some special hidden maps. Within my experience, a credit of 4 tracks (1 cab-to-cab bonus track), with a x6 char xp ticket, would leveling up a character from level 1 -> 5 just in the first track, then 5 -> 9 (almost 10) for the last 3 tracks. The process becomes longer at higher rank of course. For silver and golden statues, you'd pretty much gain them upon playing the game. Or by buying in the shop: 200k photon (the in-game currency) in LMN, or bulb in SUN for a silver statue. 15 P-Point (the currency you gain by spending money for 1 play and/or premium tickets) for a silver, 75 for a gold statue (reduce to 20 for the first purchase each month).

new player hereee are some characters limited? how do you unlock characters from SUN ep. IV

[@waterdnk]

Play the SUN ep IV map enough to finish each section, yes or takes a while

[@Stylusunderscore]

Some characters are limited due to collabs, but as for the chunithm maps they should be there forever

[@hungmn13]

@@Stylusunderscore They've removed Paradise and lower versions' characters in Luminous, only keeping SUN characters (and made available new Luminous characters).

Any tips on the air and raise notes? I think I only hit them 30% of the time 😭

With regular air notes, just be over-deliberate with hitting notes, for hold air notes, practice where the range is, dont over or under shoot
