While we're on the time question, how long did it take everyone to start passing 7 star songs?

I've been playing since Monday, and I've passed about 2/3 of the 5 star songs on 6th Style L7 and all but three or four 4 star songs. There seems to be a BIG jump between 5 and 6 stars, though, and an even bigger jump between 6 and 7 stars. I've been playing for about an hour and a half a day...when do you think I'd start getting in 7 stars? I'm a difficulty whore, but whatever.

Here's a funny story. Actually it's two stories in one:

--Last year in my Japanese class, we had a Christmas party. I brought in DDR and someone else brought in IIDX 6th Style. I'd heard about IIDX and I wanted to play it very bad. So I began to play it and the guy said I should start on Beginner mode. I picked the first song, it was one I had heard of like I Was the One. So I played it and I'm like, "holy crap this is hard." So then someone else came over and wanted to play, but I'm like, "No, I have to beat this first." So then three people came over and we decided to all play at the same time on one controller. We were able to pass a bunch of three star songs. Then they left and the period bell rang, but I didn't want to leave. So I asked the teacher for a pass, and got to stay. Then the next hour was over, and I got another pass. Then that continued until school was over.

An that's how I was introduced to IIDX.

My Japanese classes both in High School and College have always sucked. In HS I had to sit in a room alone and watch a broadcasted class on TV... and in College the teachers are just too busy to do anything fun. Blah. You are lucky.

On a lighter note, I finally AAA'd Holic L7 with a full combo(on random)... and I also AAA'd Presto on L7... but that song is retarded. =X

Some cool AAA's I upped were:
Comment te dire Adieu L7
343 Just Greats
44 Greats
0 goods
0 bad
1 poor(stupid finger slipped and hit an extra note).

Perfect clear, 197,000 points; 730 expoints.

Sync L7
454 Just Greats
95 Greats
0 goods
0 bad
0 poor
Perfect clear. 1003 expoints. yay, I broke 1000 on it finally. =D

Stupid IIDX. I need to destroy the rest of L7... that pushes me up above 30 AAA's on 6th styles L7. X_x I need to get half of L7 AAA'd... or I'll die.

I get another chance to play 6th Style again tomorrow, and I have two questions:

1. About half of my keys stick. How do I fix that?

2. I'm gonna start trying to AA some songs. What are some goodones to try on L7?

Thanks in advance

Ehhh... it was somewhere like 4 or 5 hours into first playing where I passed my first 7 star. Forgot what it was...

Damn it, I didn't get play today! Grr....

I probably should've asked this earlier, but how do you get AA's and AAA's?

I can no longer stand playing. Every time I play, one of these things happen:

- More Goods than any other note
- More Just Greats than any other note, with Goods trailing behind
- More Greats than Just Greats

It has come to my attention that my scores will never improve much further. The highest score I have ever earned on a song is 170,000~ points on PARANOiA MAX [L7] with a AA, and most of my other scores are in the 120,000-145,000 range, usually yielding me only a D, C, or a B. AAA's do not exist in my mind. Watch. Eventually you'll see lots of 6-year-olds with no sense of rhythm passing Colors (radio) [7] in just 2-3 months.

How exactly are gallery images and (more importantly) videos in 6th Style unlocked? I went through the first 14 videos in five or six days but it's been about four since then. What do I have to do to unlock #15?

Also: got my first AA, and passed all the 4 stars (Something Wonderful was the last one). 8 songs left to go on Light7.

To get the 15th Tatsujin movie you have to beat every song on either Light 7 or 7 Key.

Most gallery images have specific unlocking methods (beat an Original song (orange) with 100%, AAA Jelly Kiss, beat a Day Expert Course with 100%, etc.)

Or there's also the easy way:

Go into arcade mode and play the following songs IN ORDER:
Yesterday, A New Morning, Night of Fire
Get a high score and enter your name as "2DX6" then let the ENTIRE CREDITS SEQUENCE ROLL (I messed this up the first time I tried this) it should say "COMPLETE" or something like that afterwards.

Regulus 7key cleared...Take it Easy and The Safari are still impossible...and 5 EXPoints away from the AAA on Jelly Kiss.

Also played 8th again the other day, all flashing 7s cleared except Stoic, Max300, and Kakumei [without random] :|

I think passing songs at home is alot easier but the arcade is way better for PA. Ex. at home the best I can do on QQQ is a A but at the arcade I AA it with a full combo sometimes. and I AA songs like jive into the night fantasy etc. The only problem at the arcade is the turntable is further away and more elevated so sometimes when I pinky scratch I just hit my finger into the side but im learning.

Neither. I'm on the verse of quitting because of reverse improvement. My controller at home moves around a lot, and my scores at the arcade are so shiitty it's a federal offense, even to the worst of IIDX players.
