I actually think Taiko is MUCH easier to pick up than anyone thinks! The easy charts are genuinely very beginner friendly, and theres plenty of room for intermediate play before mastery. It's a lot less expensive and awkward to start than DDR.

If you want a way to do shadowing for Taiko, what i started out doing is just drumming on my desk with pencils. It isn’t quite the same as playing with an actual drum, but it helped me pick it up. :)

something that helped me with rhythm games (at least project diva) is listening to the song itself without the game noises it helps me hear the patterns and rhythm of the song so that when i go into the game i just need to learn the chart, and i don't have to learn the flow of the song along with it

You can always take out a loan for that piu machine and make all your friends who play with you pay for each session. Or you could buy a car. Honestly PIU and DDr cabinets makes taiko look cheap

To get good, practice, practice, practice! But remember to take some time to rest, sometimes playing too many rhythm games that need ALOT of stamina and physical strength may tire you out! Its literally exercise

i dont even know why but it felt pretty satisfying to see the 8 6 chart from PIU since i was expecting it, its such a good song

Tips for beat saber: For the love of god practice your accuracy the better the accuracy the better your score. It’s also important to practice your speed. You will eventually reach the point where you can reach 93%’s on expert+ levels. Modifiers: Disappearing arrows: look ahead and see what the block is so when the block comes to you, you can tell what direction it is and hit it Speed modifications: Faster song is 20% faster Super fast is 50% faster Set the speed on practice mode and practice. Ghost notes: use colors that stand out from each other. Like different primary colors or, white and (color here) So these were the things that have helped me get good at the game and I hope they do for you to!

Project Diva was the first rhythm game series I played, which I found was pretty easy to get into.

I literally train with just using youtube and my imaginary keyboard and play a song later on.

this videos super old but i use this as reference a lot :) thanks so much !! some of these methods have made me improve RAPIDLY ☆

I was shadowing for ages because I lacked the money. I thought I looked like an idiot but I'm glad others actually do it as well 😅

I would also add looking up techniques from streamers, wikis, or discord, to the list. ex. DDR becomes much easier to play when you realize that you don't need to hit the whole panel, which may not be obvious if you just play casually.

Thanks, very explained tutorial!

There straight up aren't any Taiko machines in my freaking continent, so I guess I'll have to stick to simulators, maybe buy one of the drums

I used to fc up to 4 or 5 star maps on osu!mania, then for some reason I just stopped and haven’t touched it for 6 months. Now I see a few kids in my school playing rhythm games and that’s pretty much inspiring me to get back at it. Hope this video helps. I might update this.

I can do up to level 18 in ddr, been playing for around 4 years almost everyday. I can do up to level 42 on pop'n music, and been playing everyday for 2-5 hours for almost a year. (Will be a year October 10)

I just learnt I was shadowing, since I wanted to play chunithm so bad, but I didn't know of an arcade with it near me, so I just searched for charts online and played them using my mousepad as a controller, and today I'm finally checking if that practice worked

Dancerush pros got insane moves

Great video! I didn't even know that I was shadowing before I learned about the term. I play taiko, and used to do it with a pair of chopsticks and a pillow before I got my drum controller. Can confirm that it does work! Naturally the transition from pillow to drum is shocking for a while, but it's easy to adapt to once you've trained with reading and recognizing patterns. I really appreciate you putting out this guide for players approaching the genre. The mastery put into learning rhythm games tends to go overblown (and understandably so!)- I assure it's easier than a lot of people make it out to be, it's worth remembering that everyone good at a game used to suck at some point too. I just hope the rhythm game community grows to become more welcoming in favor of any player interested in it, especially newer players and players that prefer to play casually. As someone who mains osu!taiko over other taiko sims, the elitism among taiko players is baffling to me, as much as the reasons for disliking it are pretty fair and reasonable. Still, rhythm games are one of my favorite genres of games, and it's one of my favorite ways to celebrate music in general as a fan. Great stuff!

i have a tip that i use but its mentioned example: you imagine you’re playinng the song and trying to hit the notes, it helps. :D

Before I bought Project Diva on the PS Vita, I practiced with a PS2 controller while watching YT videos of the game. Really helped.. As soon I I bought the game I could already play the hardest difficulty.

pretty underrated channel

As a Project Diva player, there's a pretty substantial difference between console and arcade. Last year I went to a Round 1 for the first time in my life (we don't have one in my home town), and they had a Project Diva machine. Thankfully, nobody there was into that weeb shit, so I got to be on it most of the time. Boy, was that an experience. First off, it's all Japanese, so unless you know the menus by heart, can read Japanese, or are just REALLY fast at understanding which song is which, you might just run out the timer before finding a preferred song. Next, the layout is really different from a controller, which is understandable. Going from Switch to Arcade was a super rough transition for my first few songs, but then I got the hang of it, and then to add insult to injury had to compensate for a button that had some weird lag on it for some reason, it might have been a bit broken. Luckily there were two machines right next to each other, so I shifted over and had a MUCH better time. I'd really love to invest in one of those dope arcade controllers, but I just can't afford one. One day...

Wow nice Video, saw this in reddit

I love the switch version of taiko no tatsujin as an entry level rhythm game! I’m a total beginner and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t played one before. I tried project diva on my boyfriends switch and it made my head hurt it’s way easier to just keep track of two inputs as a way to focus on building up your rhythm skills

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Infinitas and exceed gear kona Are getting viable to play now. Defo another fine way to play!

I’ve never loved rhythm games, but I tried ddr in the arcade for the first time today and it’s actually really fun (I played on the easiest setting possible and played with my brother lol)

Highly recommend the Project DIVA series - more content-rich than most rhythm games and on many platforms 🥰

Missing the most important thing Have a sense of rhythm, which some people just don't have.

I would generally consider myself an Intermediate rhythm game player, generally I can start most rhythm games with intermediate to expert level tracks depending on the complexity if the mechanics, but I have never taken a significant amount of time to master an arcade rhythm game before.

Taiko no Tatsujin, Guitar hero and Rhythm Heaven Fever improved my sense of rhythm. Seriously,

I mean, practice works just gotta be patient. Took me 120 hours to get where I am in Project Diva and I have just taken on Pump It Up and am slowly getting better.

Hello certified boomer/OG/oldhead here. I find the current link between rhythm games and weeb culture really off putting. Back in the day when I got into DDR, went to tournaments, and discovered the greater range of Bemani it really wasn't a given association. Not bashing those really into anime and japanese culture, I used to be as well, but it sucks that nowadays a lot of people who would probably love these games are never going to be exposed to them. Bemani belongs to gamers. It is a videogame. That crosses all interests and cultures. It's such a shame Konami gave up on western releases because that used to be how you got the hang of these games. Sure I dumped a large pile of quarters into a Korean 3rd Mix V2 machine when I found DDR but then I was able to get the PS1 game to better learn the charts and flow. It's a huge hurdle that console editions of these games aren't a thing anymore. Now you either hope you live near a Round1 with some money to burn or have dedication to dive into user hostile simulators. The one saving grace of rhythm games is that there is a significant amount of skill transfer. If you get to a middle range skill level in any game you will be able to pick up anything pretty rapidly, it's just fighting through that first learning curve, very similar to fighting games. I think the best option might be DJMAX as it's on gamepass and has a variety of modes from 4 to I think 10 button modes of vertically scrolling button pressing. This will move over very well to most music games. Taiko is a fun game but I don't think it lends itself particularly well to the greater genre.

You can pass your skill to anither rhythm game since its a pure skilled genre Games like mobas or shooters revolve around meta picks wich mean they arent purely skill based

I was able to nearly fc 30 difficulty songs in Quaver, wish I didn't give up and kept trying to get better.

Bold of you to asume I have money to go to Dave and busters to play ddr and have people not let me play

I don't know where else to ask this and have no idea if anyone still reads the comments here, but one of my main issues with rhythm games has been that the jump up from like the just above average tier, whatever it may be called, I think it's like expert or something on MaiMai for example, to master is so difficult. When I've played Muse Dash I would go up to a more difficult chart on a song that I liked, and there were way more difficult patterns on it that I had no idea how to read or even approach doing. And if I went back down to a lower level song I wouldn't ever see those patterns again, so there's no way to practice. Just feels like there's an abrupt difficulty spike and no way to work myself up to it.

I'm playing ddr, both the pad and the game costed me only 20 bucks, so I'm good. All I need now is to get good 😅

man i want to try project sekai at arcade

Tried maimai last week just hit the tutorial and few beginner song and now already fc a 6 and 7 sometimes there is a point where you always miss a beat like every. Single. Try. Is a good sign for stop, go home, and sleep also learn from mistake is playing a good role

Guitar Hero and the like will always be, in my opinion, the beat gateway rhythm game. If you showed Osu or DDR gameplay to your dad or somethint, he'd just not be able to comprehend it. Guitar Hero? It's just playing guitar, simple as 1 2 3. But then you go down the rabbit hole of the more difficult songs and WHOOPS! You beat TTFAF on expert. I myself started with Clone Hero, and that just got me into rhythm games for good.

You didn't mention thet there are straight up, home console and/or pc rhythm games, suchas djmax respect v, osu!, ez2on,etc. Altough they may have an arcade somewhere these are definitely intended to play with controller/mouse/keyboard, and have the lowest barrier of entry, since all you need to do is buy/download the game and start playing.
