Of all people, I'd think you'd be the least surprised since you've been paying attention to my scores in the score thread recently.

I'd say I was probably one of the top players to begin with, but I wouldn't go as far to say that I started off as D3 material. Bmah explains it nicely.

Indeed. *sips tea*

I do kind of agree with you Ghost, as there's not much competition now. But, It makes for a good challenge.

I still have my weaknesses though, so don't give up now.

as far as skill boosting goes.. dont you have to play to skill boost?? i barely notice reuben ever has many plays on any of the tourney songs and just for today as example.. he has 12 games.. i play a hella lot every day and i improved from when the tourney started but nowhere near the degree of him.. none the less makes it more challenging and i hope him the best.. :/

My best scores come out of sightreads or 2nd/3rd playthroughs, whoring doesn't do anything for me. Plus I rape the restart button if I'm playing and I can't beat my previous best score. Also, what turbo says:

I guess that's a good way of explaining it.

Yup.

Everyone's been improving from the looks of it, it really makes me happy. :] Six weeks really did a lot for me.

I'm guessing you weren't expecting that either AJ? XD I figured I had to live up to my title of 2nd runner up for Up and Coming FFRer.
