== 573 spotting == | |||
Since 573 can be read as "KONAMI" in Japanese, it appears often in its games, including the numerous BEMANI game series. People on several fora, including the Facebook group "Music Game Hell", would post 573s they spotted in lieu of being original. This lead to the creation of a group, "Haha I get it its the konmai number", to respond to posts that were simply 573s, and act as a storehouse for spotted 573s in itself. An offshoot group, "With a little elbow grease, this could be 573, but you're not there yet", was dedicated to "not-quite" 573s its members spotted (such as 572 or 673). | |||

V is widely considered an inside joke at this point, as it appeared on nine CS games, and six consecutive ones (5th-10th, BMUS, HAPPY SKY, EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST). ("You can't spell revival without V.") Many players take this as a sign that KONAMI hates them. | V is widely considered an inside joke at this point, as it appeared on nine IIDX CS games, and six consecutive ones (5th-10th, BMUS, HAPPY SKY, EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST).

When V was not revived for [[CS IIDX RED|IIDX RED CS]], many players took this as a sign that KONAMI hated them by ruining their joke. V was then absent from CS styles until [[CS EMPRESS|EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST]], where V was on the PREMIUM BEST disc alongside [[V2|V₂]], which was on the EMPRESS disc. | When V was not revived for [[CS IIDX RED|IIDX RED CS]], many players took this as a sign that KONAMI hated them by ruining their joke.

== [[MAX 300|MAX300]] == | |||
MAX 300, particularly written without the space as '''MAX300''', has enjoyed memetic status among the community since not long after it was introduced. Uninformed newbie players tended to treat MAX 300 as being the hardest song in the entire DDR series, even after much more difficult songs became available. A running joke, therefore, has been to treat clearing it as a goal unassailable by all but the most inhumanly skilled players, and respond to impressive achievements with something along the lines of, "Okay, but can you pass MAX300"? | |||
MAX300 the meme became more popular in Music Game Hell, where the user Remi Guinier would regularly comment "MAX300" regardless of the context of the post. This resulted in multiple offshoot groups related to the worship of MAX300. | |||
In later times, [[EGOISM 440]] emerged as the "rival" of MAX300. | |||
