REQUIEM - The Story Of Sound Voltex's First 20

[@leviern]

nicely documented video! thanks for including my RANDOM+MIRROR play as well ❤

[@losermanwins4338]

absolutely

[@AVEXentSUCKS]

This is the only channel I trust to cover rhythm game essays on KZbin. You sir Jack actually cover rhythm games that most rhythm game players play. I’ve seen essays on this genre of video games from other creators and they only cover DDR or old school BEMANI for a couple of seconds then the rest of their essay covers fringe indie games and Guitar Hero for 45 minutes out of their hour long “retrospective” of the genre. So Jack, keep telling us about Level 20s on SDVX. Tell us a story about the first level 10.99999999999+ song on jubeat. The craziest competitions of the XXth KAC. The brilliance of Chunithm’s accessible yet challenging gameplay. BEMANI’s upgraded cabinets and the proposed ones that never saw the light of day. Your style of essays hit the spot covering this genre that no other KZbin channel captures.

Glad you like the content. I'll keep doing my best

[@joseleal9872]

I know exactly what video you are talking about and feel the same. The title should have been "History of Guitar Hero and Rock Band" and a lot of the comments on that video agreed. Also, goated video Jack. Subscribed and like.

[@eyy_man1162]

Glad I'm not the only one that felt the same way regarding other rhythm game essays lol.

[@ryderbaddie2589]

It’s funny how there’s never going to be a single lv 11 song on a damm rhythm game about squares lol

[@RDBomber]

goated chart

[@adamyessdvx]

of course lmao

I was expecting this comment to be here already 😭

Hi otherelement

[@RDBomber]

hi alex

[@CtrlAltCancer]

Having started from Heavenly Haven, I didn't know about Voltex's limitations in the first versions of the game at all... That's such a nice and detailed documentary, loved it!

[@fictionalist_]

fantastic video! lachryma was something else entirely when it first dropped back then, when the only 16s at the time were MB, BB, FUP, EM, Daiuchuu stage, Gekkou ranbu, Xross Infection, KAC 2012 and 2013 Emperor side, and the heavenly four with XyHATTE, Preserved Valkyria, Alpha Omega and Blastix Riotz. its difficulty was truly a sign that SDVX was starting to mature further and further - so much so it was the only 20 after the rerate for a while until HE4VEN and iLLness LiLin showed up. it does not hold the crown of the hardest chart anymore, but it still is one of the main things to go through on the road of any voltex player. really enjoyed how you showed the upgrades of the engine between booth and gravity wars. comparing contemporary charts to old booth and infinite infection era charts is really fun, especially given how much freedom lasers starting anywhere gave to effectors.

[@adamyessdvx]

BANGER VIDEO!!!

[@Galafador]

banger vid! subscribed I remember the rush everyone has when Lachryma was revealed. When I finally cleared INF dan in SDVX 4 it felt absolutely amazing because Lachryma and HE4VEN are so much harder than the songs before it.

[@nzixl]

as someone who started playing in exceed gear (and as someone who has cleared lachryma 20 just last week,) thank you for teaching me important world history

[@ryderbaddie2589]

If only the other Bemani games had an extremely difficult boss song that’s as hard as Lachryma requiem

[@siege9_]

Great video. It's crazy to think how far the skill gap has gone. I was 11 dan back in Gravity Wars, and it took until Exceed Gear that I got back to 11 and eventually Inf. Getting clears on all of the old GW boss songs was really cathartic.

[@whiteou7.]

Discovered your channel today and I have to say that I really appreciate your effort to document various rhythm games topic/history. Learning about the games I both do play and do not play is so fun. Your narration and the story you tell is just amazing. Please keep up god's work.

[@necoji4910]

Wow this was a really fun watch. it's obvious you really took your time researching all this, and youve got the editing and presentation to back it up. way better sdvx content than i ever imagined would be made.

[@cheggry]

really well made! I love the depth you've gone into to make the significance of lachryma appear to people outside of voltex. (also i never knew it was pronounced lachryma requiem, i always thought it was re:queen EM LOL)

[@arcanumdelta]

kaneko chiharu my beloved

[@v2power921]

What an amazing documentary! I've discovered SDVX in 2014, I'm trying to get an arcade experience since then. SDVX brought to us so many wonderful songs.

[@felyunn]

amazingly documented and very well edited video! i was looking forward to this !

[@ertydesu7818]

Yoo very nice videoo, it’s hard to find good videos about sdvx like this one

[@pikwetti6449]

Common losermanwins W upload

[@DJTedIIDX]

Another banger vid. Legend.

[@joaopslins]

Epic content, such a well done video. Thank you

[@Notester82]

Wowwwww, what a chart! Was neat to hear how Sound Voltex's engine was simpler in the past, then see Lachryma take advantage of the new engine shenanigans!

[@lordtraxroy]

lachryma requiem is the most legendary sdvx song of all time

[@noradseven]

I remember watching this be revealed on the KAC stream it was insane.

[@Skippy7547]

Even to this day, I remember Lachryma coming out and watching 5th KAC. I was practicing it for the longest time. Granted it was the lvl15 chart, but I was at the 14/15 where 15's were a tossup of being possible or fuckin just way too hard. I cleared it 8 years later finally as its an 18 now a few months ago. I love this song to death and Gravity Wars will always be my favorite version of the game. I literally fucking cried, I was so happy I passed it

[@DINGUSDINGUS-ox9hs]

SOUND VOLTEX history banger!

[@disposeable1]

Good video bossman :>

[@Lo-bp3zn]

20s peaked with Lachryma 😤😤😤 also loser man can you do a vid on the well-known dan gatekeepers like mei and bof (or not cause theres probably not enough to talk about)🥺

I play with the logitech f310 gamepad in kshootmania and... of course requiem was my first time as well, lol XD

[@ShiningEternity]

You should do a video on Jaleco and how Konami was so terrified of them, they stole their name!

[@burntbreadman2775]

Im not near a machine so I cant even try it. But I want to say as a non player it does look visually very chaotic/hard to read. Im guessing its just the unfamiliarity with the gqme along with high density charts and Hi speed turned up? Then again I kinda struggle to read beatmania IIDX past 10s.....(and probably dont have the time to push through that wall. One day Ill look into an sim to expand songs/charts I can access)

[@dgl1128]

Peaked chart
