Well, I got about 3 hours of IIDX in last night. I was just trying to play more songs from 5th and 4th style. I ended up passing most songs that I played. Some took 2 tries just because certain areas of songs seemed harsh, but when I finished the song with like 50% I would say to myself: “O, snap. I can beat that, that one part just threw me for a loop” and I would. It is scary, I am passing a few 6* (star) songs (unfortunatly I do not remember the names as most are not too memorable). I have had this for less than a week and really not put too much time into it. I am still playing songs that are easier than level 26 Hypers in Pop’n.

I know that I have said this before, but I cannot shake it. I feel that I am cheating in IIDX now that I can hit most of the keys w/o getting lost on the controller. I am try to not pinky scratch and hope that it makes it a bit more difficult, but with this type of progress I will be playing 7K stuff by this weekend. I can do stuff in B:IIDX that I still have problems with in Pop’n (occasionally) because I have 3 or 4 fingers on each at my disposal for hitting 7 buttons… not 2 hands that can hit a max of 3 out of 9 buttons each. My timing still sucks, but I think that I may have gotten an A or two in 4th style last night, who knows. I would love to track this at VJ Army, but it seems like some people screwed it up for the rest of us and registration is down.

Well since my wife responded finally after having the link to here since I started I figure I might as well play som Pop’n tonight. Perhaps I will have learned something new and beat a new hyper or somtheing.
