#but polyrhythm 2? rhythm purgatory

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

hyperfixations are funny cuz sometimes i remember that most people probably can't like. name every rhythm heaven game in order. i can just casually do it. actually most rhythm heaven fans probably could do that we're all kind of unhinged about funni moosic gayme-

random rhythm heaven facts i know off the top of my head for some reason

uh i’m bored so. have random rhythm heaven facts that i just. know. for some reason.

despite being the only game in the series to not have any lyrical remixes, ds is tied with fever for the most original lyrical songs, with each having five. ds has thrilling! is this love?, love ooh ooh paradise, young love rock n’ roll, struck by the rain, and that’s paradise; fever has tonight, lonely storm, dreams of our generation, i love you my one and only, and beautiful one day.

i emphasize “original” because without that, megamix beats fever and ds, having around eleven lyrical songs in total; only counting original lyrical songs, megamix has three (tokimeki no story/lush remix’s music, i’m a lady now/honeybee remix’s music, and um. whatever machine remix’s song is. in the english version though it only has one original lyrical song).

tengoku has four lyrical songs: karate man’s song (which like. idk if it even has a name- does it get name privileges-), the bon odori, honey sweet angel of love, and wish - can’t wait for you.

the fastest song is in ds; big rock finish c’s bpm is 290. the second fastest is also a ds game, namely remix 4, with,,, i believe 222 bpm?

the slowest game is built to scale and built to scale 2; at their slowest, their bpm is 60.

while endless games’ bpm is all over the place due to speeding up, clap trap literally has no (or at least no known) bpm. somehow.

no i don’t know anything about music.

i do, though, know remix 10′s bpm off the top of my head. it’s 166 in case you were curious. remix 10 ds’ bpm is 160. remix 6,,, it’s 138.7 or something like that? idk the exact decimal number. left-hand remix’s bpm is 120 i think. i have no idea on right-hand remix’s. and final remix starts at 160 bpm, increases to 170 at the end, and finally, ends at 180 bpm.

i have memorized the controls for literally every game. no i will not list them here because that’d take too long.

lockstep is the only ds keep-the-beat game to not have flick controls.

barelys (early/late inputs that are too early/late to count as hits) usually count as misses, but there’s a few exceptions to this:

some games will have barelys allow you to pass the practice, but then not actually count in the game itself. the main offender of this is flipper-flop. flipper-flop’s barelys make it so hard to perfect dear god-

in ds, three games’ perfect campaigns count barelys as hits, those being shoot-’em-up, frog hop, and lockstep. despite this, they still count as misses when playing normally, meaning you can get a perfect that wouldn’t be a superb. that always happens to me when i play lockstep 2.

most games have clear indicators for when you got a barely, though some are relatively similar to a miss, but some games have literally no indicator of barelys. unsurprisingly, all but one are in ds:

the games in question are glee club (sometimes; i’m guessing it’s when it’s still a barely but it’s right on the line between barely and early/late hit) moai doo-wop, love lizards, space soccer, and, in fever, shrimp shuffle. this means that a perfect campaign can end despite everything seeming completely fine. (sometimes you can tell you got it wrong, but it can be difficult, personally the only one i can tell in is shrimp shuffle and also space soccer sometimes).

barelys always count as misses in megamix. due to this, barelys mess up perfects on shoot-’em-up, frog hop, and lockstep. yet for some reason, barelys still let you pass flipper-flop’s practice. i have no idea why since in literally every other instance they’re a fail, but they do.

there’s like three beats for keep-the-beat games (games where you have to press a/tap/whatever every beat). this is easily seen in megamix’s final remix, where there’s a part where it smoothly transitions between flock step, frog hop, and bunny hop, and then cues you into marching orders (which is likely just due to the bunny hop part ending with a long jump).

the main beat is shared between almost every keep-the-beat game. all the undeniable keep-the-beat games use it.

rhythm rally and air rally,,, i think both have the same beat? i don’t know though. i don’t know if either of them can even count as keep-the-beat games tbh.

donk-donk and shrimp shuffle both have unique beats, which i guess brings it up to four different beats.

yet again, no, i do not know what any of this means.

there’s eight karate man games (both of tengoku’s, both of ds’, both of fever’s, and both of megamix’s original karate man games). a karate man game has appeared in literally every game and i don’t know why.

fan club’s bpm is like 132 or something like that? i mean that’s at least what rhythm heaven remix editor says the “ooh”’s bpm is at i think. it might be 162. i really don’t remember.

i’ve memorized the entirety of remix 10, remix 10 ds, and remix 6. so that’s a thing. though sometimes remix 6 messes me up when i’m just trying to remember it without playing. i can’t memorize megamix’s medley remixes for the life of me.

i’ve also memorized remix 8 because of course i have, who’s surprised at this point?

quiz show is a game that exists. it’s interesting in that you don’t have to follow rhythm at all. it’s a repeat-after-me game, but all that matters is that you press the button(s) the same amount of times.

it also ends if you get a question wrong, and unless it was the last one, that gives you an immediate try again. it’s one of three games to end prematurely, the other two being the night walk games (night walk 2 can also end prematurely).

it only has music playing at the beginning for some reason.

did i mention it got into megamix instead of an actually good game? instead of an actual rhythm game? in rhythm heaven?

megamix’s english dubbing sucks.

they seemingly had a low budget, so i will cut them some slack, but that doesn’t stop the fact that it’s terrible.

the title cards for games use the same few fonts, while in previous games they nearly all had original fonts.

none of the original songs got dubbed. instead they’re just instrumental. and dear god do i hate it. thus, with english audio, the only remix song is i’m a lady now, which is in english in all versions.

space dance and marching orders. just,,, space dance and marching orders. dear god.

luckily, and possibly due to the dubbing, megamix has the option to change between english and japanese audio. i have no idea if that’s only in the english version or if it’s in other languages’ translations, but it’s nice either way.

ds just straight-up lies to you. at the beginning of the game, it says it’s completely controlled with the touch screen, but then in the game right before remix 10, the r-button is used.

due to this rockers 2 sucks on emulator.

ds has too many repeat-after-me games, i can think of five off the top of my head. ds’ repeat-after-me games also aren’t even that good? moai doo-wop sucks, shoot-’em-up and love lab are fine i guess, i like freeze frame, and drummer duel’s pretty fun (though i’m pretty sure it’s just spam? is this spam heaven now? where did the rhythm go?).

this probably doesn’t make sense to like ninety percent of you. 😔

people thinking spaceball 2 is hard has always been weird to me but idk maybe my standard of what's hard n what isn't has been lowered from the rhythm purgatory i went through (polyrhythm 2).

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

my last pinned post is from august soooooooooooooo here's a new one i guess.

uhhhh hi i'm puppy and uhhh. rhythm heaven is a v big hyperfixation for me and has been since like. january. maybe february idk. i really love it but also that's an understatement tbh. can't express how much i love it in words.

u h my favorite game's dj school and it's totally just cuz i ship the djs sfkjekljfs- rockers and rockers 2 are both my second favorite (they’re both equally good) and fan club 2's my third favorite (pop singer is simply good h). i'm not sure on my overall least favorite but i really hate quiz show, prequel rhythm rally and polyrhythm 2 (i can't pass it, i’ve been stuck on it since march, help) so it's def one of those.

oh also i have an about page here but just to get the basics from it: i'm queer (agender, ace and lesbian are my primary labels, i use they/them pronouns) and i (most likely) have adhd (no diagnosis but i'm sure of it). so. yeah.

oh also also since i didn’t put this on my about page or anything. for the most part the way i refer to games that use the same names is like. pretty consistent (like. i just indicate it with whatever game they're from at the end in parentheses (for prequels i put prequel at the end, sometimes i also refer to games by their megamix names when talking about them in megamix specifically, so i indicate that with megamix at the end). but there are some i give ✨name privileges✨ because i like them or like. people talk about them a lot- it's mostly remixes but there's some others, here's the list:

tengoku remix 2

all three remix 3's

tengoku night walk

tengoku remix 5

tengoku remix 6

tengoku remix 7

kinda tengoku remix 8? (i always call it tengoku remix 8, including in tags)

ds built to scale

ds remix 4

ds remix 7

remix 8 (the real remix 8)

ds remix 9

ds remix 10

fever remix 8 kinda (i call it not remix 8 cuz it's. not remix 8-)

fever remix 9

fever remix 10

and also megamix's remixes are called their names (in tags i call them just. by their name gay-up (don’t ask) but in posts sometimes i just call them by the first part).

u h . this got really long sorry- ,,, ending posts like this is hard but. that's all. u h . yeah.

it's kinda funny to me how lockstep n frog hop, two of the games that are seen as the hardest by the majority of this fandom, aren't hard for me at all really. but polyrhythm 2, a game that most people don't find hard? purgatory.

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

what would rhythm purgatory be

rhythm purgatory's polyrhythm 2-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

Wish me luck

good luck, you'll need it-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

just realized i've never seen anyone get an ok on polyrhythm 2. only try agains n superbs. is polyrhythm 2 just one of those games where you're either total fucking garbage at it or are a master at it-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

if quiz show's rhythm hell n polyrhythm 2's rhythm purgatory then what game's rhythm heaven.

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

,,, so i ended up on catchy tune’s wiki page and like- 

“This game has similar controls/rhythm to Polyrhythm, its sequel, & Tram to Poline.”

THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

what is this fandom on,,,

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

people can't seem to fully grasp that my problem with polyrhythm 2 is literally just the fact that i cannot do two things at once for the life of me-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

imagine if polyrhythm 2 was in megamix. polyrhythm 2 with brf-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

polyrhythm 2 feels like a crime against humanity.

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

i still agree with this tbh-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

polyrhythm 2 sucks so here.

been stuck on it since like. march or april. 😔 send help.
