[Arcade] beatmaniaIIDX 12 HAPPY SKY CS

It's now been announced that beatmaniaIIDX 12 HAPPY SKY CS is on its way, according to the IIDX RED CS website!:

http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/bm2dx/11red/#HS

I am FAR more excited for this than I was for RED. Happy Sky is my favorite IIDX style to date, I like it far more than DistorteD or RED or any other modern one (So much that I have the hard drive for HS on my computer :B). There's no release date yet, but people are speculating sometime in november. Any revival-guesses here?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's too early in the morning to format, I'll do it later D:

V is back (Noooo!), but other than that the revivals look pretty nice.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah. I'll make a separate topic for IIDX Gold.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, Play-Asia opened their pre orders a few days ago and I've already put mine in with the fastest shipping option. I can't wait XD

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I told myself I was never going to order another LE after being so disappointed by 8th style's.

Then one of the bonuses was announced for HS's. A Xia figurine.

My resolve, it breaks D:

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm also working through the game, I actually managed to clear 7th Dan on this style (RED's The Safari owned me ;_;), and I'm really digging the built-in rival data.

The extra skins are okay, but what I'm REALLY liking is the custom music select BGM. The Taka one is freakin' amazing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh wow, that's really neat.

Other stuff I'm liking:

Like any customize option, if you unlock every BGM and press Start when highlighting it in the Customize screen, it'll play a random one every time you go to the song select screen. I'm also digging the stats screen, which tells you a ton of things like a pie chart of key ratings (I'm 60% Just Greats! :O) and even which key you miss the most notes on (Mine's key 2).

Anyone know what song you need to use to unlock the backside courses? It's not in motion, but maybe 5.1.1.?

FELIPE NO

Speaking of dan mode, I found something today.

Scroll up to the highest dan you have, then in one constant turntable motion scroll all the way down to the bottom. Don't stop spinning the turntable, keep going for maybe 3 or 5 seconds. You'll know you did it right when you hear "CONNECTION". Select that lowest kyu.

Scripted Connection=> Long Mix. You play through the ENTIRE almost-7-minute song as if it were the track on the OST, each part's chart is on another. If you clear through that monster, you have to play Mei[a]. Insane? Yes. Cool? HELL yes.

My current best is about the 3 minute mark, then my arms just died.

Later edit: Endless Summer Story is (IMO) the best CS song on the style.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

2007: The year Taco passes 12s.

I decided to play the 12s on Happy Sky out of boredom, and I almost cleared three: Please Don't Go [a], in The Sky [a], and Scream Squad [a]. I ended with about 60% on each of them, sightreading. I think with some practice on them I'll be passing my first 12s within a couple of weeks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It seems I'm finally getting over my IIDX plateau. Today I played 8dan and 9dan, and cleared them both. Once I got through Rauken [a] it was smooth sailing.

10dan is lol though, so I won't be clearing that any time soon.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
