Sound Voltex: I try to explain SDVX while playing it | Arcade with tokaku #1

It was supposed to be a rhythm game arcade vlog but all I did was play sound voltex.
I have no idea what to title this video. It's also not a guide on sound voltex because there's way more to talk about than just what I say in this video. Take it as a vlog or let's play on sdvx ;)

All I remember from SDVX was how painfully loud it was and that the headphone jack didn't work lol.

[@tokaku]

most cabinets outside Japan or parts of asia isnt well maintained and the headphone jack usually doesn't work

[@choonieyen]

tokaku does the headphone jack in the sdvx machine in the vid work

[@CORSAIRE_]

I thought the cabinets' headphone jacks were broken, then i realized that it plays through both the headphone jack and the speakers

[@luigifan4585]

Personally I thought the headphone jack was broken at first on the few cabinets available near me, but it just took a but of messing around to realize thatbI actually needed to turn the volume up using the keypad on the side

[@FOHGeek]

@@luigifan4585 The normally-mute phones jack design is dumb. Same fkin' design on Ongeki.

[@clutch_zone72]

Just looking that the terminology of the game, there's so many things going on around SDVX like WTF?

[@remikakuzatou]

Every version adds a whole new lot of terms plus the old ones

[@d3foko]

This was really fun to watch. Thanks for explaining the dans.

[@tokaku]

Glad you enjoyed it! I really like this video for some reason, I doubt it'll be a popular video though!

[@dangobot]

to clarify on some matters for sdvx: there is 1-4 star gauge (barrier rank) she was playing 1 star which is the easiest and doesnt drop as much hp as normal clear rates (effective rate) 2 stars is roughly around the gauge of effective rate 3 stars is like excessive rate (iirc) 4 stars is slightly different where if you get a near, you will lose hp as well as losing hp on errors permissive rate, the rate in skill analyzer, is complicated,, as each songs passes, you'll need more crits to recover hp ((also i heard from an inf dan, inf dan course has more hp taken down per error compared to other levels, but i'm not too sure!!)) ok hope that helped a lil,, do correct me if i'm wrong!!

[@eggyolk8067]

[@SakuyaSim]

Omg nice i was playing at the machine to the other end, saw you attempt the inf dan. Nice vid, thumbs up

[@tokaku]

nice! I was wondering how other people in the arcade thought of me with a camera and just talking to myself it's so awkward man

[@somefishhere]

Does your user progress track throughout the arcade or just one single cabinet?

[@SakuyaSim]

@@somefishhere throughout the arcade as long as you have you data saved in your e-amusement card

[@sayguan555]

You should give Groove Coaster and WACCA a go at the arcade, bring a decent earphone for both and gloves for WACCA to make sliding easier with less chance of finger tips burning from friction

[@sayguan555]

It’s available in Singapore at selected outlet, I’m a Singaporean myself and I play it occasionally! Whether or not the version present locally has all the songs presently available in the JP version.

WACCA is available in Taiwan actually

I love the variety of your content. Thank you for this.

[@Gl33D]

SDVX content YES!! I've been told im goos at sdvx for being able to pass a 14 but then i look at shit like this and think how is it even possible lmao

[@Ultimatesam25]

agreed, I don't know how people can multitask this fast.

[@uyk765]

Getting INF dan isn't really that hard once you know how the game works. I've been playing for 1 year and around the 8 month mark of my experience I got 10th Dan gold wings. So it isn't really that hard to learn. Just my experience :>

[@Ultimatesam25]

@@uyk765 you got advice for passing 17s? the gap between 16 and 17s feels insane in terms of difficulty, the only 17 i passed was universe stage, the rest are like super difficult

[@uyk765]

@@Ultimatesam25 increase stamina, learn more patterns, and explore more charts. Some 16's will feel like a 17, charts like GERBERA Exhaust 16, Dogeza Stairs Exhaust 16, and Destiny Exhaust 16 are good examples of hard 16's. And don't rush clearing 17's when you feel you can't clear them yet. Basically just have fun at your own skill level and you will clear harder charts someday

[@Ultimatesam25]

@@uyk765 that's good advice, I should really study charts but I usually just sightread them, however I have managed to pass a few 17's such as last resort and ebovy & ivory

i hope sdvx and arcaea should do a collab :)

[@noel1626]

Yes arcade with tokaku is exactly what i needed when i cant actually go to the arcade

[@MasterYoshitaka]

"iLLness LiLin is like the easiest 20" This is the exact opposite of what Japan thinks but ok damn if you really are that hardcore.

[@tokaku]

it's one of the easiest 20 to clear but one of the hardest to PUC yep!

YAY SDVX CONTENT!! I just started playing on arcades so your explanations are super helpful thank you!

That fishing game is how i get my infinite coins in the arcade because my mom was so addicted to it and she’s so good that i get to play everything in the arcade...yes we still use arcade coins...now “we dont do that here” anymore hahaha

oh my god the gameplay is so intense

[@jemmasimmons9168]

When you said Arcaea was the mobile SDVX, I didn't think even the health systems would be that similar. If we had dans in it, it would just be depressing because look at the new pack, it's impossible

[@hirobrinemc100]

Now we have dans lmao

I didn't understood too much of it, but seeing you play is still entertaining i mean, any sound voltex gameplay is really mind blowing

[@thatguynexus5935]

Those are fishing games, you put in tokens and catch fishes. The more fishes you catch the more tokens you get. Its probably the only arcade machine i know that you get tokens instead of tickets.

[@kuraii_]

I haven't been to the arcade as frequently post-cb but this video really made me remember why i loved playing SDVX so much in the first place!! >also relate to the small hands cant press 2FX w one hand

Just started to play SDVX 3 weeks ago, thanks for showing me it's not unusual to hit so many EARLYs 😁😁

Will you ever make a full sdvx video guide? Also, my only experience with sound voltex is with USC, so I feel like I’m missing out what the arcade experience has to offer. Looks really fun though

[@tokaku]

It's in the plans, but when I do that, I'll be recording the actual in-game screen instead of pointing my camera at the cabinet like in this video. I'll do that in a month or so, gotta get my laptop back from tzechi so I can hook it to the capture card in one of the cabinets!

I feel bad for people in europe :/ the only way you guys can play these games is buying a controller or finding an underground rhythm game arcade but even then that's really rare
