Is this an OSU alternative?

Not a single bit, this game doesn't even have mouse support, it's all keyboard or gamepad
I'd say it's more like O2Jam, the songs have keysounds so it's not just you hitting buttons at the rhythm of the beatmap, you're actually performing the music and sounds a bit iffy if you're out of the beat

Heh. It's better than osu bro. It's an OSU REPLACEMENT.

No my sweet, this is where Osu stole the idea from and this game helped a lot of REAL DJ's start a carreer.
DJMAX does have an OSU version and even that's better than the crappy version you have access to.
In other words, meet the ultimate game that inspired all the rip offs you see nowadays.

[JUFUFU]

Do you saying about OSUmania? Rather, osumania is similar to O2JAM, not DJMAX Respect V.

the game OSU and several game modes took inspiration from those

the OSU circle pointer gameplay was inspired from *drummroll* OSU!

If you are coming from Osu, you should know that all DJmax music isn't allowed to be uploaded on there due to copyright, so at least you will get to hear music and play charts that are never going to be put into Osu. I think that goes for many Konami rhythm games as well.

could be depending on the person. though it looks kinda boring and overpriced tbh

If you mean this vs. osumania then they both probably play differently. Like someone mentioned earlier, osumania plays more like o2jam with its lenient accuracy and long note spam (at least with 7k). I haven't played Respect yet but from what I know with the other djmax games, it relies more on accuracy and less about complex note patterns.

After awhile OSU doesnt even become a rhythm game anymore and more of a reaction game where you are smashing notes that might have some vague relation to the melody of the songs at hand.
DJMAX on the other hand stays true all the way even on the hardest difficulty since pretty most of the songs have keysound while OSU is filled with maps made by amateurs who overcompensate for their lack of talent and patience in making keysounded maps by making the maps BING BANG WAHOO

This is what every rhythm game turns into in the more advanced stages and with community made content though. O2jam was even worse.

Djmax on the other hand has no custom content. It's made by a handful of people on a payroll and with the resources to make everything keysounded. It's also made to appeal to as many people as possible, hence why there's no ridiculous difficulties.

Honestly, I don't get the hate for osu. People should really be playing as many rhythm games and difficulties as possible to improve themselves anyway.

So many already are there with much more interesting mapping than DjMax

Yeah mapping gets harder the further you get in osu!mania. There do be no keysounded maps but I doubt keysounds are enough to make mania players move to DjMax.

I personally find mapping in DjMax not interesting at all, 8 hours in and I can already high acc full combo 15 stars SC. To me DjMax is just not worth it. You get much more and challenging content from osu!mania.

But if you are learning rythm games DjMax could be a good option but so is osu!mania.

Quaver is better cause you can import Stepmania/Etterna and Osu!mania maps to it. But 4 keys are boring anyway so.

How exactly is osu!mania mapping more interesting? Genuinely interested. If we're talking 4K - it's all stepmania chart philosophy. If it's 7K - it's all o2jam mapping philosophy. There's quite literally nothing unique in osu!mania other than the best map editor out there. And that's about it, it's all about copying content (music and partially charts) from better rhythm games that have unique content.

Dj Max Respect was initially made to be played with (drumroll) - gamepad, PS4 gamepad to be exact. It's the only classic VSRG that was designed to be played with a regular gamepad and hence you can see some limitations in charting outside of SC charts and a vast majority of content being focused on regular (controller-friendly) charts. SC charts are more of an afterthought, there is only one of them for a keymode and some songs don't have them at all. It does have unique content and unique stance on its design choices. At least it's a game. Osu!mania is just an empty shell for importing content from other rhythm games. Want some real challenge with an endless abyss of content? Give BMS a try. That'll sure keep you occupied for a life time.

seems like you only look for charts as much challenging as possible. DJMAX of course obviously doesn't have the "hardest charts ever in rhythm game history" thing. In this case, I'd just suggest you go play either OSU! or BMS.

Why people hate osu! is mainly due to its 'weird' charts and that copyright issues. and i believe you do know about it already if you've played osu for that long. OSU! could've been a great free rhythm game just like BMS nowadays, but it failed to manage it and so here we are now.

But, if you don't care about copyright stuff even in the slightest inch, you could say just go play osu and it's better and free and all that stuff, after all.
