So many fun things are coming to Taiko Drum Master: Drum Session! Here’s a sneak peak at the Taiko Ranked Matches, Additional Performances, Guest Performances, and the updated song list!
Ranked Matches
Taiko Ranked Match” is a mode in which players will try their skills against other players all around the country. Since you’re matched with the performance data of other players based on your skill, your rank will rise as you win and aim for higher ranks.
By first performing the 5th rank certification battle, you will be certified for the beginning rank. You will then be matched with opponents based on your own skill, and perform against the performance data of other players.
You will win by surpassing your opponent’s score in a performance. By winning, you’ll earn a “Kachiboshi Medal” (a medal indicating your victory), and you will rank up by building up a collection of said medals. Additionally, by playing Taiko Ranked Matches, you’ll receive “Match Points.” The rankings of Match Points can also be checked.
It should be noted that in order to play Taiko Ranked Matches, an Internet connection and Sony Entertainment Network account are required. However, a PlayStation Plus subscription is not required.
Additional Performances
Best Replay Performance is a score attack mode that matches you against your personal best score. Your best score data is played back on the bottom lane, and since you can find out at which points you made a mistake, you can discover at which spots you need improvement. Practice and practice to increase your score.
Training Performance is a training mode that lets you speed up, rewind, change speed, and so on as you like in order to train at spots in which you might need improvement. Train and train in order to gradually take on higher difficulty songs.
Guest Session Performance is a new element in Taiko Drum Master: Drum Session! It allows you to enjoy performances together with popular characters.
