I know this score means absolutely nothing except to the like 2 people I have showed this file to but I'm still proud of it lol



D2 has the best finals chart hands down. I can't stop playing it, sooooooo much fun.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

That's the best I could get atm.
My hands are burning from the D2 song.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

That is quite nice MA from a D2 D3A player

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Phalanx seems like a really dickish FMO as opposed to an FGO

As dense and long as the jump(hand)stream may be, it's only 160 bpm. Makiba's around the same speed and many were arguing it's more fitting as a VC. Far less dense, I know, but the increased density in Phalanx doesn't really warrant that FGO push imo.

/$0.02

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

You placed me in D2A. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I put it as FGO for the same reason Time to Eye is a "FGO"
In theory the rolls are mid-FGO material, in practice people just jumptrill them and hope for the best.

Ya I did.
Won't be doing that again huehuehue

No I'm just joking. Skillboosts happen and you get to reap the rewards of said skillboost until the end of this tournament.
Don't get complacent though!

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

lmfao oh right, the TtE argument hahaha

ok fair enough I guess , carry on carry on~

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Yeah the TtE argument haha
It's a borderline FMO/FGO and I always rate high on borderline files. Less whining about it that way. Subjective manias are subjective and all that.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

First try:



Second try:



I don't think I'll be able to improve this much. :\

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I just addressed this in a PM and figured I'd post it in the thread as well:

As for the difficulty jump in D2, Lacrimosa wound up being harder than I expected.
I wanted to go difficulties of 9, 10, 11 in D2 but yeah the 10 sort of got skipped. Next round is a very low 11 as well, then a high 10, then a mid 11 for the D2 finals.
At least that's how it is shaping up so far.

I've learned that difficulties for D1 and D2 files are really hard for me to judge so sometimes I wind up going way too high or low.
It's one of the things I need to improve on should I ever do another tournament.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

You absurdly good mother ****ers. I was gonna post a place holder of my sightread serious play but these seriously diminished my hopes.

PS: I expected this to be dumpy. I did not expect them to reek of such filth. You must have taken a lesson from NVLM or Dossar cause this is seriously disgusting to look at.

And the sad thing is, I'll still be wasting my time playing it.

This probably comes off meaner than I intend it, but seriously? This is a borderline 13 and we're only D4. Cut us some slack.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Improvement again. I'm getting really close to sub 100 goods on this.


Best I've got for now. I need to figure out how to nail those bursts into the hand jacks, that parts extremely hard.

I'll go try d4s file now, hope I don't die >.<

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Slighty better...

On a side note, I FC World Tour 2004 today with 59 goods which gave me 2/5 tier points on that song. That's my first song with 2 tier points, I'm very happy about that and I wasn't expecting to make that score tonight.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Phalanx is a borderline 11...

It's only 160 bpm, that's slower than most FMO JS files, the only FGO worthy parts are really the rolls and the 32nd stream bursts.

As for the chart itself, Carlos brought up that the handstream patterns could have flowed better, which is honestly true.
They're not terrible, but they do have some long hidden 8th jacks that I should have broken up better.
The layering scheme is consistent and pretty easy to understand- jumps to the melody, hands to the loud drums, stream to the hi-hats.
The 48ths are in fact correctly synced and the framers are literally perfect for jumptrilling. The first 48th roll has a somewhat difficult ending transition but that was done purposefully (it fits the music).
I can't really think of anything else you'd complain about... it's not a masterpiece file sure, but I don't think it's quite as bad as you are making it out to be :p

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

psst psst (now you know how I feel about people constantly bitching on my files)

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

So right now I am having a ton of trouble getting a good file for D3 next round.
I've gone through three options so far and none of them are to my tastes.
First one was too similar to the finals chart so I decided not to use it.
Second one felt weird the way I layered it but I couldn't come up with anything else, so I scrapped it.
Third one I just trashed because it was too easy, a mid 10 wouldn't cut it for D3 this late in the tournament.

JUST LETTING YOU GUYS KNOW I SUFFER FOR MY ART
D:

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

you suffer






































but why?

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Because I love you guys :')

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

d'awwww :')

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

You had your glory when you were crushing us in rounds 1, 2, and 3. This is the point where the tables turn it seems. :twisted:

Anyways, how many goods do I need to beat Zak by in order to counter all my ****ing misses? 40 didn't cut it, looks like 68 does the trick though:

sup Zak :cool:
