Aw bummer, those were 20000 above mine.
Congrats to the winners! I am curious about the note ratios too.
The note ratios for the top three were:
macklelol: 515/14
yyr: 516/13
Kumubou: 512/17
lol chance time
Welcome!
Wow, yeah, I was nowhere near that (I think I had about 89 Fines). Gotta train more then.

Caved and bought the game on psn. I had 17 worth of credit and nothing to spend it on figured now was as good a time as any.
Can't wait to have some fun with miku :3

I can't believe that the margin was so small! Yeah, I had two mistakes during Chance Time, and then three afterwards...I always seem to choke at the end. =( Congrats!
I've split the prize because I already had the Snow Miku DLC =)
Side note: I don't understand why many of my runs had differences of 20 points here or there. Is there a way to maximize points on holds that I'm unaware of? Any ideas?
I hope not.
Guess I'm boring, lol.
Side note #2: one run earlier this week, I was running fewer than 10 Goods and had 100% Cools through Chance Time...then broke combo at the end. The feeling of nervousness I get when I'm nearing the end of a record run is unmatched by pretty much anything. I love this game.

It's more likely a factor of when your Goods/Fines were; depending on when the combo multiplier is applied a Good or Fine later in the song will probably cost you more potential score than one early in the song. Not quite sure which way it goes though.
Doubles are another key point, where if you hold one and press the other you're forgoing a 200 point bonus for pressing both simultaneously.
It might be technically possible to game the hold bonuses by starting them early and releasing them late, but any extra score earned that way is probably offset by the chance of not earning a Cool timing on either one.
This explains it. Many of my Goods were on the tricky sections with holds. Argh!
By the way, I noticed that there's a site with a high score table for all of PDf/F. You should totally go there and post your score...it's way higher than what's there!

Still not quite sure what happened with EU pricing. Before release it was announced as £34.99 but then it launched at £31.99 accidentally and it's been set at £36.99 ever since.

Considering that £37 is near as dammit full price (GTAV will be sold for £40 at ASDA, and I expect a minor supermarket price war over it, I would not be surprised if someone's prepared to sell it for less than £37 launch day), I would not be surprised if sales have been affected considering the US price equates to £31.50, which is far more reasonable.

Impressive scores! Thanks again for the fun contest StarCreator, I only managed to shave down to 28 goods and 488k~ for my submission. My best run had 23 goods but I choked and got a safe. I stopped using perfectionist as I was bleeding Diva Points with how many retries I was doing before completion.
A side note: now I know where this scene from OreImo comes from.
If only she had a 3D monitor to support the games 3D mode!
Man, having this game makes me want a 3DTV, and that custom controller. If only I had a money tree.
Yeah, I'd have to read back some of the earlier pages to see if anyone did (I do believe so...). For Theatrhythm on the 3DS, the 3D effect helped by bringing out the notes, so I would think it would also be the case here.

IIRC no 3D mode in game, it only works when watching PV/Movie and Live Stage.
Aww. Missed opportunity.

I feel like playing this in 3D will be an even bigger disaster with notes flying everywhere.
Yeah, it'd probably be terrible. Though I'm disappointed we can't try.

This is exactly what I done. And it arrived before the EU download was available.
Are you going to upload it when you're finished? I'd like to give an edit track a go but the in-game interface for finding them is terrible.
I got mine at £31.99 :3
Yeah, I'll definitely be uploading it when I'm done. It'll also give me the other trophies related to Edit Mode, so I'll be hitting two birds with one stone.

So on the subject on issues with the arcade style controller: I didn't get a good chance to observe people playing with it at Otakon, but I noticed at Anime USA that when the buttons are pressed the top surface actually buckles a bit, which didn't happen with the Dreamy Theater 2nd controller. My working hypothesis at the moment is that the buckling is actually enough to trigger adjacent sensors, causing gameplay issues. I haven't opened it up to inspect the issue further, but in reviewing photos I had previously taken of the two I already have a likely culprit (see if you can spot it too):

Gameblog.fr has a review up. In French, but as summarized by Metacritic: "Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F will of course particularly appeal to J-Pop fans, but it is actually a very good rhythm game for any gamer."
So you were at Otakon too? I played quite a bit of Project Diva F there both Friday and Saturday night... you wouldn't happen to be an Asian guy with a Miku-themed Vita would you?

No Miku Vita here. I'm the owner of the Project DIVA F setup that was facing the center of the room. (Having two setups was completely unplanned and I kind of wish they were at least back to back rather than the other setup being illogically off in the far corner of another table.)
There were a lot of guest related activities at Otakon so I was in the game room maybe for an hour tops all weekend.
That's BS. I know that the 2nd controller cost even more, but for that amount of money you would think they'd have made something a bit more durable.
I'm also having problems with my mini controller. I don't know if it's because of my sweat, or what, but no less than five times so far, I've had instances where I tapped a button (specifically, the O button) twice rapidly, and it either stuck or otherwise didn't register the second press, causing a combo break. For a game that demands such precision, this is just brutal. I used a DS3 for my last few attempts at the score challenge, instead...it felt weird at first, but it might actually work better than the larger controller, which defeats the purpose of the larger controller =\
So did anyone try beating the score I posted at the end of page 19? =)
32 hours and 24 minutes later I've finally cleared all songs on Hard.
I'm still having a ton of fun with the game too, so I'm ready to make an attempt at Extreme, but given how hard some of the more difficult songs were for me I don't see it happening. I'll just aim for more perfects on lower difculties.
My art gallery is also at 99% and that's not insanely frustrating at all. Not at alllllll *twitch*

Yep, only thing that's holding me back from a plat.
I don't wanna be done with it! I haven't had this much fun with a game in years. I'll be playing this for a longggggg time. I really want to get good enough to clear Extreme. I want to get that two handed thing down too someone linked on the last page.You could do only the songs that you like on extreme and be done with it
I have a playlist playing now from the TV in the Diva Room. It has to load between songs so I'm just going to leave that going while my controller charges and hope the missing one pops up.
If you want the quickest way of increasing your chances of getting the loading screen you're missing, from the Main Menu choose the Mode Select (but don't proceed all the way to the song list) and then exit back to the Main Menu. It nets you two loading screens in a few seconds.
This method obviously is the most intensive as you have to keep pressing buttons, so if you're lazy you can still do the TV method but it'll take a while since it needs to play the whole video.
