SUPERBEAT: XONiC |OT| Back to The DJMAX Roots - Now on PS4/XB1!

Just played this today. I made the right call finishing Natural Doctrine before moving to Xonic as this will take up quite a bit of time. Everything harkens me back to the DJ Max Portable 2 days. Just the note speed changes gave me feels.

Looks like I need some practice


Anyone got any tips for OblivioN on Route66?

Clear stage with more than Break 20.
 
Just wait until you think you've beaten it to only get a freakin' 93 or 94 percent. The feeling suuuccckkkssss.

Getting closer to all patterns cleared. 2 more on 6Trax, then 12 on 6Trax FX. At level 97.

Bring a DJ icon with a very high recover rate, maybe turn the difficulty down to Normal to be more safe. Don't bring someone with a break shield. Basically, make a mental note of how many breaks you've made. Maybe try for groups of 5, recover, then let 5 more happen when you feel it's safe again.
 
Put it on easy difficulty and/or equip a HP icon.

oh forgot about the difficulty thing, thanks!

I tried with an HP icon and only managed about 7 breaks, recovering takes too long for just one song

I'll try it on Normal, thanks!
 
I just saw a mission with ghost modifier and 90% judgment, welp...

I'm playing with the touch screen but I don't know if is time to move to buttons to keep on improving in 6trax.
 
"Get over ## breaks" are probably insanely harder on Hard because of how quickly your HP drops unless you equip someone to increase your HP, but even then, you want someone with recover rate because after a few notes, your HP should be back to normal.

It's honestly not as bad as I thought it'd be. I think I overshot & still passed it just fine.

Amazingly, ghost hasn't been an issue for me for some reason. It's more of a pain not having the combo number or your DJ icon info. & it's just the UI that's hidden, not the notes themself.
 
Ok I tried it on Normal with DJ Atlas (+100HP) and passed with 53 Breaks.
Normal is so much more lenient than Hard. o-o

Now I just need 6 Eleven, Extra Wave, and Eguchi Wave!
 
Hard is basically "YOU MISSED 3 NOTES?! YOU FAIL" but when you get better & have a high break shield, you kind of forget until you're playing a super hard song.

Speaking of super hard, is Voodoo Gooroo on 6Trax FX the hardest song outside of the special World Tour patterns? Kind of bums me out you can't unlock them in Freestyle. Really could use some harder versions of easier songs.
 
Souls of Vampire Extended is near the top for me. Matador as well, that song destroys my hands.

I'm still mad/sad that I can't play EX charts in freestyle, even more so now that I tried Nodding Hawk EX and 5.1.5.0. EX.
 
My X-Otic LE has not arrived yet...and it was shipped on November 3rd by U.S.P.S priority mail.

Anyone else still waiting?

I just sent an email regarding it.

Still waiting on my X-Clusive. Although I am in Mexico. I sent an email last week but still haven't had a response. Hope it arrives soon because I feel like it's been too long.

I see, hopefully comes soon, mine was sent to Florida.
Don't want these things to go missing!
 
I don't suppose there's hard versions of the note patterns? Or is there only one pattern per song per mode? A little disappointing if so.
 
Certain songs in World Tour have harder versions, but otherwise, yes, one chart per mode.

Aw man. That's too bad. Given the number of songs and budget nature of the game though it's not unexpected. I'd pay for DLC charts though.

It should definitely be in your hands by now. It should be noted that despite the email stating it was shipped Priority Mail, most packages appear to have been sent via UPS Ground.
 
So uh. According to my play record, I cleared every song on every mode. So why didn't I earn the trophy.

..............unless it wants to be cruel & include the patterns exclusive to World Tour. Or do I have to unlock all patterns for Freestyle?

Also now at 400 plays & a little into level 98.

Edit: Got all patterns unlocked for Freestyle & got the trophy. Was confusing considering the game considered I had grades if I beat them in World Tour.

Edit 2: Sweet, maxed my level out. Now it's finishing the 99,999 grind & the final World Tour stages. Though wait, says I need 2 more key sounds. I only see one more in World Tour. Is the other unlocked for the 99,999 combo?

Read somewhere that it's unlocked when you beat the hidden club easy mission.
 
Oh, so it unlocks both a DJ icon & a key sound? Interesting.

Also oh god, I just realized for the Hard mission for the final club. Ghost modifier = NO SEEING YOUR SCORE. Meaning there's no way to judge how well you're doing until you play through the song, which of course lasts about 3+ minutes. First attempt was 87%, so no idea how long until I can get 95%.

Hey guys! Im really sorry you still haven't received your orders, i would really appreciate it you can submit your data here http://bit.ly/XONICORDERSSUPPORT and il look into it ASAP :D
 
Hey you should have been contacted by email already :)

Yes, thank you very much! Checked the tracking and apparently it was in Mexico City yesterday and it says it should be in transit to Guadalajara shortly. One of the things I miss from the US while I'm working here in Mexico is the better post system. But thank you once again!

Really only a few things that I can really think of:

- PLEASE let me see my score/highest combo in Freestyle so I can remember which songs are the best for grinding for the 99,999 trophy.
- Few menus I wish there was button controls (Backstage considering the scrolling, DJ ranking)
- The ability to unlock the World Tour exclusive patterns, especially ones that're part of a mission that has multiple songs.
- Maybe something to allow custom colors for notes? It works perfectly fine for 4Trax, but I KIND OF wish maybe the bottom notes (down/X) were a different color, or at the very least, the option was available, but not really an issue considering blue/middle helps separate. Maybe let me customize the UI as well? I know DJMAX let you do that, though no idea with the layout if that would be possible here.
- Let me skip the "Thanks for Playing", though I guess it's to hide the loading?
- Put the abilities of each DJ icon on their icon when in Backstage, similar to when you select one during Freestyle, instead of clicking each one to remember "oh right, they have those abilities"
- Fever just feels........THERE. Like, it doesn't feel any different when it's on or off, save for the UI changing color, but that's it. It felt awesome in DJMAX because you could activate it when you wanted & keep the multiplier going up, until you hit the max, which caused the screen to change. Basically, there was more visual feedback on Fever doing something, where as here, it's only noticable at the end when you look at your score.
 
I'm finally going through all of those songs I unlocked after grinding the 99,999 combo and I'm really happy with them! I was a little disappointed with the initial song list with how they sounded and their difficulty as well, but these new songs are awesome and really fun.

I'm lovin' this.

EDIT: Sight reading Moonlight Sonata on 6TFX was such a rush. Reminded me why I love rhythm games so much.
 
Still haven't bought this. Now I'm just waiting for the Black Friday sales to see if this game gets any discount and if not, I still want to include it in a big cart with other games on PSN so I can at least use the 10% off coupon.

Managed to get a platinum on DJMAX Technika Tune while waiting though...
 
So I finally found my Vita and so bought this. Game is so confusing for me, though. Any tips other than switching to easy? Also, is it better to play with buttons or touch?

What do you find confusing about it? Any new rhythm game is going to have a learning curve in training your brain to react properly to the prompts, but practice, starting on the easiest tracks and gradually moving to harder ones, will fix that. It's helpful to notice that double notes, where you're intended to make inputs with both hands at the same time, have a white highlight to distinguish them easier.

I prefer touch. It's clear that was the primary intent behind the game design, especially with the whole concept of swipe and scratch notes.

no BF Sales for XONiC

Um, there is no patch for EU version?

You would have to contact Rising Star Games for that

Opps, fixed

I just find myself lost between the notes, or unable to read them right at times. I'll try touch for now, thanks.

If I could retake the survey and give social media a higher rating I would ;)

What's your general experience level with rhythm games?

Touch is 'easier' to get used to just because it's a lot more intuitive (you touch exactly where the notes are when it's time) but buttons are way better at higher difficulties because of the tactile feedback.
 
Definitely go for touch to begin with just to get used to reading notes, especially in terms of relative timing.
