That's my problem with the touchscreen, I'd definitely play that way if the swipes and drags didn't give me trouble.
How are you supposed to pronounce "Xonic" anyway?

I finally received this last week but haven't played yet. I shall remedy that over the weekend. Looking forwards to it!
Eeuuuuggghh. If there's one thing I hate using touch controls on, it's the Vita. It's uncomfortable as all hell stretching over to the screen.
Well, I've tried practicing with some easier songs and I'm managing to All Combo them on 6trax which is alright. The problem comes when I try even slightly speedier songs...because I end up spending all my time trying not to drop the Vita. I've never had a problem with the system before but good Christ it's absolutely awful to hold with this game. My fingers scrunch up unnaturally trying to hit the shoulders, triggers and face buttons at the same time while also trying to keep the things held up. Guess I'll keep at it or invest in a grip for this Vita.
Anyway enough negativity. I'm really enjoying the game and if I was actually any good I'd love these beatmaps miles over P4D's. I hope with time I'll get at least half decent and maybe find a way a human can comfortably hold a Vita.
Edit:Holy macaroni I just had experience with a 11 difficulty 6trax song. That's like, not even the highest difficulty combination and I will literally never achieve a pass in it. My future in this game is quickly looking very nonexistent.
I just figured it'd be the same as anything with "Xeno" at the start. Xenoblade. Xenomorph.

I don't play much of the top tier of hardcore rhythm games so I don't know if this is common, but this game barely has an easy mode. Some of the songs' 4trax chart I cannot see a rhythm game novice surviving long. I'm playing 4trax Stargazer and I'm realizing that it's more difficult than nearly every Hatsune Miku Mirai song on hard that I've been playing.
Not sure how mirai plays since I've only played the Project diva f games but Stargazer is one of the harder songs on all modes. I'd say there's plenty of selection for novices with the easier songs on 4trax.

Kudos. You have to have some serious skills to accomplish that, and I'd know first hand because this game manages to kick my ass even in the early stages of 6Trax mode.
At the same time Xonic -is- pretty hardcore. It goes back to this post:
The game could have rather easily (no pun intended) had a lot more content for entry level AND expert level (which kinda is put into World Tour) with different difficulty charts for each track.
IIDX has been going on forever and unsurprisingly does this.
While I do agree that it would have been nice to have multiple difficulties for each configuration rather than the configuration being the difficulty change, I still think there's quite a lot of songs that are novice friendly in both 4 and 6 trax. I'm not sure what budget Nurijoy was running on for Xonic but I think music licensing took a fair chunk of it.
Actually, I think I'd probably amend my post to say people new to music games, rather than people who already play TT/P4D/Miku/etc. The skill gap for rhythm games is massive, and even "novice" or "expert" covers a lot of ground.
edit: Nevermind, had a huge-ass brainfart on that second part rofl
After getting 94% a dozen times:
At last, World Tour mode is complete! All that's left for me is to get 1000 plays done and finish up clearing everything on 4T, and the plat will be mine.
The last DJ icon you unlock... why.
EDIT: Actually, this last DJ makes grinding out 1000 plays easier.

Damn! Congrats on the Platinum, that looks to be like one of the more difficult ones! What is the last DJ Icon?
The last icon gives you
500% EXP and 500% HP. With it, you can clear a song like Morning Calm on 4Trax while on easy difficulty without having to actually hit any notes lol

So I've finished all of the World Tour stages until Club: KAMASUTRA's Normal difficulty stage. It's asking me to finish 5 of these 6Trax songs with JUD. 95%, but I can't even get through Voodoo Groove without just messing the whole thing up. I'm no rhythm game pro; is this the point where I should give up?
I would just skip that one for now and come back to it later. 6 Eleven is stupidly hard, and you'll have to practice a whole lot if you want to clear it.
I would suggest bumping up the speed to 3.0 or 3.5x if you haven't already. Getting a 60 Shield/Fever Shield DJ Icon from either leveling up (I think it was in the high 90s) or from kama sutra's hard mission will help a lot as well.
Hm, yeah, I could just skip it. I guess I just assumed everything forward from that would just be as difficult, or even harder.
My speed's pretty much always at 3.0; perhaps shifting to 3.5 could help, but I dunno if it'll make too much of a difference at this point. A lot of shields are good, though I still need to be accurate enough when I need a high judgement to pass.
Thanks, I'll look at the alternatives and see if I can continue forward.

DLC packs 1 and 2 are released, the other dlc packs have just been announced.

Eeeehhhhh, I'd be for that Love Live Collection, but I don't want a longer "No Way Out"....even if a longer "All Night Long" is tempting.
Also why do Party 4U, DINO, & Libera Me have the same visual art? I mean, with Magical Beat, it makes sense since it's from the game game. Is it just because it's all by the same artist, Cranky?

What was the judgement bug?

726MB? Oi vey what for.
It was just a visual bug where sometimes the judgment (whether or not you got a Superbeat or a Good) wouldn't show up properly. Doesn't affect the actual judgment or anything.

New to the game, Made Stargazer my first 6trak song pass by just being a persistent bastard and playing it over and over till I got the pass 
playing on hard as I assumed they'd be harder charts than normal, but Ive just read here that it only affects life difficulty? I thouht it was damn harsh that I miss three in a row and its automatic fail. But then again tne game is incredibly generous with timing compared to Stepmania/ITG that I'm so used to.
Love this game so far though. Will definitely aim for the platinum.

Oh, so that was a bug. I thought that it was something like if you got a Superbeat or Good several times in quick succession, it just wouldn't show up because the underlying assumption was that it was the same judgement you got moments ago. Guess not.

Just in case, NA 1.0.2 is equivalent to KR 1.0.5 version

Excellent. It kept bugging me when I would lose my combo but couldn't see when it happened.

Just wow. I don't think I could get that close again if I tried.
Really enjoying the game so far... and looking forward to the next set of stages.
Any chance of future patches enabling the actual key sounds from the song when playing the notes instead of the generic sound effects?

That would require actually keysounding the songs, so slim to no chance.

Super late to this news but those are some weak picks for the Guilty Gear Xrd pack. Jack a Dandy the only quality pick. I hope more GG songs make their way into Superbeat, especially The Lily of Steel (Millia's them), Give Me a Break (Sol's theme), Marionette (Elphelt's theme), and Diva of Despair (Ramlethal's theme).
