Yeah, I sometimes wonder how much better I would do with a modded KOC...

Considerably.
Trade for a week? :roll:

To be honest, it doesn't make much of a difference.  KOC and ASC both require different playstyles, and really, neither is easier than the other.  I say this because I'm no better at home than I am on ACME's machine, when controlling for display and timing -- I can hit the same patterns and combo about the same at both locations, even on scratch heavy patterns.  I just have different ways of doing them.

I will tell you this, an ASC is significantly different from both the arcade and the KOC. The buttons are -very- stiff and the turntable is as far away as in the arcade. This, to me, means it is ultimately more difficult to play at home than it is at the arcade. For example, it is almost impossible for me to alternate the 6 and 7 keys with two fingers other than my index/thumb and middle fingers. It alters play style significantly.

That isn't to say it's my fault that I'm not better, but saying passing something at home on a KOC and passing something at home on a ASC are nearly two seperate accomplishments.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the stiff buttons, that's a really big handicap when you try to do a lot of keys.

Where is the turntable on an ASC?  That's what makes the TT distance not hard for me on an arcade machine.  It's really far forward and makes using your thumbs really easy compared to on a KOC.

accomps:
FC jive 7k
AAA -2 foreplay [a]
AAA+FC 9 o'clocks [a]

i rely on my right hand to hit 567S chords or other combinations at home so i get screwed at the arcade. HIGH HARD FAIL YESTERDAY ANOTHER

8. Nothing Ain't Stoppin' Us L7

Is Spin the Disc an easy 5 like Mobo Moga and Attitude?

If so, I'll need to play it.  I'm just getting into 5's.

I'd say it's not much harder than the 2.  Just some tricky turntable patterns.  Took me a few redos to pass it.

I can pass Bad Boy Bass. . . but I keep getting 74%. . . Still have 5 5s to pass.

8dan is such a leap from 7dan i can get to the end of sync but there is a part that i cannot do and immediately fail

what song is after it?

8Dan is Sync [a], ラクエン [a], SigSig [a], Lovely Storm [a]

i can do rakuen but not sigsig... and maybe lovery storm with a full bar

ahhh i still cant pass spin the disc of love is dreaminess, and i fail RIGHT at the end like 7X% on Bad Boy Bass. I can almost pass outer limits 7k tho. XD

2 goods 4 misses all in a row on sync 7k i hate davyn
FC outer wall [7] and i was the one [a]
clear spica[a] without hitting lower than 60%
AAA burning up for you [7] autoscratch one hand while talking on a phone for half of it
76% war game [7] HS1, for some reason I got all bads on the scratches at the end

probably more stuff but i can't think of it

1333 traces [a]
1334 daisuke [a]
both overdue, really

hard clear satellite [a] random (i think first time ever trying random)
1 combo break setsugekka 7k
Actually those are kinda overdue too

got to the 8th scratch + 16th run on No.13 [a] random hard.  can't get past symmetry non random
got to the last set of scratches on setsugekka [a] hard
got about 2/3 way through the "long hard scratchy section" on one or eight [a] random hard
i'm sort of getting the hang of comboing (satellite was first try, oddly enough)

i think everything was on random but i noted it on songs that i usually don't random.

I think I finally passed Bad Boy Bass a couple weeks ago.  I know I can pass it on Challenge mode, because I just drop about 25%-30% at the very end whenever I play it.  I did finish it on challenge mode with 82% once though, so I guess that means I could hypothetically pass it regular.

oh yeah... well i can passevery song double another at the same time with a AAAAAA!!!! ZOMGZ!!!
o_O!
Actually yeah. I'm still stuck of like 3 normal 5s and i think all of the hyper 5s (all 3 of em XP)

A cleared Go Berzerk 7

DON'T JUST STAND

Just so you know, Outer Limits [h] is NOT a five.

I can at least fail most 5's with more than 50% hits and better than a 26 combo. :roll:

i love putting my posts in quotes, even when they haven't previously been said. fun fun!!

Hey, Moon_Child is probably the hardest 5 on 12th style, and it's a normal five.

Of course, the other hardest one would probably be airflow [h], but that's beside the point.
