(Not flaming at halogen btw)
He was obviously better at his song than everyone else was, it wasnt about making a smart choice, it was about knowing everyone else is struggling and obviously wouldnt pick str or dex.

This is ridiculous to say, and despite you saying "not flaming at Halogen", I do take a lot of offense to it.
First off, people likely did poorly on System Doctor because they simply refused to deal with the file. Not for nothing (and I've expressed my thoughts about this before), but while it's a technically accurate file, it is in my opinion (and others as well) one of the worst files in-game with regards to playability -- the only reason why the file is rated a 93 is because of the last 200 notes, and nothing else. All of the higher level players hate it, and almost all of them will opt out of playing it unless they absolutely have to.
Secondly: the point about me getting 702 STR on a song because I had the skill is just as easily applicable to me
not picking a given skill due to the song being hard. The fact of the matter is that players who wanted to separate themselves could have done so by picking an unorthodox choice on easier level files and taking risks on files that were a bit out of their range. The reason why I picked STR on System Doctor was not simply because "I felt like I could do the song and no one else could", it was because all of my other point gains were going to be rather minimal and I felt like I needed to do something absolutely drastic to turn the tables on my stat choices.
Finally: The other reason I picked STR -- I didn't just assess my division. Remember that all divisions are used for calculations of stats; when I saw the difficulties of the songs in other divisions compared to the skill level of the players, I had a feeling a lot of people were not going to be willing to take a large risk. If you take a look at R5, you'll also see that one other person picked STR (minhtam), and they picked that stat class
with over 700 goods raw on their song. Their risk paid off given what the song choice was and what their point yield would have been had they picked any other stat class; it was just unfortunate that he wasn't the only one thinking that way.
