oh god no, haha. My muscle memory does not convert AT ALL for downscroll. I know this because I sat there playing Frictional Nevada on downscroll for nearly two hours and picked up blocks on the two 32nd bursts in the intro and the entry into the jumptrill wall at like 700, then I played it on upscroll and Alt+F4'd after to make sure the score didn't go through, and my blocks did not exist at all on upscroll.

My muscle memory does not convert whatsoever -- otherwise, files that I play a lot, or files that I have created, would be easy AAAs for me. Take Faint Breath as a huge example. I sightread AAA'd Faint Breath on upscroll because it's my own chart and it was created/tested under that particular style. However, my downscroll score is over 20g, despite having the muscle memory from internal testing and knowing the song because of how I charted it. Muscle memory didn't convert for me at all, haha.

EDIT: thank you, Puppet. glad to see someone understands that i'm not doing it with malicious intent - my goal isn't to knock people off the leaderboards, it's to use the stats as a measure of progress.
