[dragonmegaXX]

Share your sob stories about how you're going to come in last place and how everyone who places better than you really sucks and just got lucky as hell.

It never was a "priority", it was a false promise from what I understand. Basically, forging too far ahead without a plan = some stuff not happening at all.

This time I'm not really concerned about if I get first or not since I already have everything I want (support tokens, FFR t shirt, blah blah). If anything I could just use some more credits for my future tournaments, lol.

Still going to put a genuine effort like I did last tournament though. Last tournament, jesus christ.

In b4 I lose round 2 as per tradition.

Also in before I break another of the following:

Mouse
Headset
Headphones

Also at this point D6 is suicide. I feel bad for anyone that gets placed in D6 and still wants to go for tokens/prizes, lol.

This is true and it makes me sad

The skill range for D6 is so massive that there is a wide range of players who will never even have a chance at earning a top 8 spot. I think they should at least split D6 into D6a and D6b and give top 4 in each the tokens, or maybe even a D6a D6b D6c D6d and give to top two. That way everyone in D6 will have a similar chance to get tokens. This could be implemented in other divisions too but i think D6 needs it the most.

Only D6 because if you use it in like D4, the lowest in D4a is better than top in D4b but doesnt win anything and gets butthurt.

While I'm not a fan of divisional splitting, I agree with this. Think about a mid-high D6 player who might be pushed into a 7th division and finishes in 16/32 of that division.

Think of that same player being put in D6A out of D6B and finishing in the bottom 50% of D6A? They automatically outclass their lower division by being put in the higher flight, which means they're doing better than at least 50% (more than likely higher, since a higher flight likely won't split evenly) of their competitors already (theoretically, as they're facing tougher opponents), plus they finished better than half of the A-flight as well. Yes, it's not much of a difference in terms of overall people beaten, but it sounds more like an accomplishment.

Also, a very important point must be made here:

also everyone saying that d6 has the widest range in skill is forgetting that, in all technicality, d1 ranges from people who can't pass super mario to *insert arbitrary cutoff here*

in all honesty, this is my defense for never wanting a divisional split.

D6 is always suicide

[Zyphoror]

I plan on getting 1st place D2, idk about you guys

[bmah]

D6 is suicide but regardless, one should always enter the tournament with the main goal of improving his/her own playing. Strive to do your best, but don't expect to win.

A lot of people's bitching on songs and their tier placement is due to their unreasonable expectation to perform "relatively well" one song after another. The point is to challenge yourself. Don't expect to AAA or even SDG a file. Quite often, it's people not stepping up to the challenge who are the ones wailing on their placement.
