I'd suggest checking out the IIDX block if you thought Stepmania was neat during GDQ. It's a very fun game and some of the best players in the country will be playing in the blocks.

Are they actually playing the game, or are they using some lovely keyboard setup like they did with Stepmania?

It's going to be IIDX Infinitas which is basically the arcade version with a Dao controller

This is what Infinitas looks like although it's the official (lovely) controller

Infinitas doesn't allow two players at once only single/doubles but IIDX isn't really a game about facing off directly most of the time as the level these guys play at is "max" being 100% perfect greats in a song.

It's something hard to appreciate if you haven't played the game yourself to realize how freaking hard it is but its more like the TGM block just "we're going to show some cool stuff and pray the game doesn't crap on us."

Like when phnix played mei you saw him do what's called random fishing because the song is so hard and the chart layout is unapproachable unless you can switch the lanes into something you're comfortable with.

With random on the game the notes remain in the same pattern but it shifts lanes so like the first and last lane may switch or whatever. With the density of the buttons on 12s you have to use random because it will break up chords so they aren't so heavy on one hand and the slow down/speed up in mei just murders your judge bar.

That said though DP red was amazing. I think due to scheduling they were short on time so doubles tonight wasn't as long as intended but such is marathons

If you want to see competitive play here's two of the most top players in the world facing off and is fairly recent

You can also see how random changes the play between both players as well

Beatmania IIDX is considered one of if not hardest of the music games out there so it scares a lot of people off. There are however approachable games you could check out such as Jubeat (most popular for people new to bemani), Pop'N Music, Sound Voltex or if you need to meme it up and be gross Osu!

Playing at home I would suggest Jubeat if you have an iPad as it's on the App Store or Osu! (Sorry if I triggered anyone suggesting Osu!)

There's a pc version that is anime and full of an awful community that ripped off the game and it's called Osu!
