Posted on: July 15, 2012, at 09:53:34am

Round 1 - ( Lunar Landing ) [ AAA ]

• 7/7 — Fairly straightforward, got an AAA.

- ⇪ -

Round 2 - ( Nocturne ) [ 10-0-0-0 ]

• 7/14 — I played the song... Why am I even trying?

• 7/18 — Out of the elimination area. May attempt again later...

• 7/22 — ... I forgot to improve my score, haha. Still safe... for now.

I suck.

Round 3 - ( Firebird ) [ AAA ]

• 7/22 — Got 6-0-0-0.
7/22 * — Blackflag...
7/22 ** — AAA on my fourth attempt. This is easier than Nocturne...

Round 4 - ( Politically Correct Holiday Song ) [ AAA ]

• 7/28 — 19-0-0-0 on my initial attempt. I should be able to get an AAA if my engine stops lagging.
7/28 * — 140 restarts...
7/28 ** — 6-0-0-0... This is too painful. I'll try it again tomorrow...

• 7/29 — This chart is really annoying... I keep choking on the white notes. Then again, I can't even get to that part of the song without hitting goods on the way...

• 7/29 — Over 300 attempts, I finally got an AAA! So happy right now...

The moment I woke up I decided to play FFR and finish this off once and for all. Took only 15 tries!
I'm still doubting whether I can get to top eight though...

Round 5 - ( Find a Pet (Candy Mix) ) [ 2-0-0-0 ]

• 8/4 — First run was stupid... but I would imagine I can AAA this.

... I'm going to jinx myself, aren't I.

8/4 * — Dammit, I'm stuck on the first jumpstream. I think it'll be easy if I can do that part. I'm just going to have to aim for a single digit good for now.
8/4 ** — 4-0-0-0... now to try for one good.
8/4 *** — 2-0-0-0.
8/4 **** — 800 notes in, hit a good... :____:
8/4 ***** — I am getting very sick of listening to this song... I'll try again tomorrow.

• 8/5 — Mindblocks.

• 8/6 — I'm sick of this chart, I'm done. Final score 2-0-0-0, never going to AAA.

Round 6 - ( Need You ) [ AAA ]

• 8/11 — Unlocked vRofl! Yay!
I'm a huge fan of xKore, so that alone makes this round awesome for me. Chart is great too! I have a feeling I'm going to get frustrated regardless...

• 8/13 — Woo, 1-0-0-1. I'm getting there!

• 8/16 — I'm still stuck on 2-0-0-0. It's also the first day of school today, so I'll have less time to put into this tourney.

• 8/17 — No. No. You have to be kidding me... http://i.imgur.com/RuPHu.png

I finally managed to get an AAA, but the score failed to record. This is too cruel...
8/17 * — Whew... Got another AAA in 29 tries.

Round 7 - ( Gargoyle ) [ 28-5-0-22 ]

• 8/17 — ... NeoMasterPie?

Right. Gargoyle is off-sync. I'm also having serious lag issues... This should be fun...

• 8/19 — 91-9-0-30. The later half of the chart is so awkward to play...

I wonder if they allow isolations in D1.

• 8/24 — I'm done with the tournament. It was fun, I guess. My laptop charger died... and Gargoyle is just out of my league. I feel like I could've had a chance at this if everyone was placed more accurately ( Seriously... NeoMasterPie in D1 with a Reality single digit good )... Anyway, I can't play at all on my desktop keyboard, so... this is it, I guess.

Round 8 - ( Freak ) [ 14-0-0-3 ]

• 8/24 — NeoMasterPie was disqualified for some reason... so now I'm top three. Never expected to come this far...

Freak is an enjoyable file. That solo is going to give me plenty of trouble though.

• 8/28 — Skeelie has 12 clean... Damn.

• 8/29 — Laptop charger came early... time to be serious...

• 8/31 — 14-0-0-3. Currently standing in second.
8/31 * — Aaaand... the replacement charger died. Woo.

I'm still quite satisfied with second place, so I suppose I'll stop here. Congrats to Skeelie!
