Guys, thanks for your support!

I decided to try out D2 songs for fun, and the results are more than just disappointing. It's going to be hard to keep motivation. I'm just mashing.








The number of boos is just hilarious. Getting B or just finishing file is already an achievement

Only one division ahead of you so Im not pro by any means.... But my one piece of advice would be to not mash. When I struggle with harder files I focus more on trying to play the patterns correctly rather than making sure I dont miss anything. Your fingers will eventually get used to moving efficiently rather than fast and like a sloppy Joe sammich'. You can do it!

I hope the song selections are good, I can't really play through them on this computer. I just picked charts I thought I remembered as being good.

KLiTz, thanks for your help! After playing some 30+ songs I understand the strats I need to apply. Sometimes I'll just have to miss some parts to concentrate on the ones I can actually nail.

portalbob340, thanks! Your selections are really solid. Always fun to try out some new files that work together quite nicely.

Here are some first runs on D2. Three 40+... I should say that it went better than expected. First three songs, actually, can be improved. On the other hand, I don't know what to do about two last ones. They are so disastrous that I'm not even gonna bother to play them intentionally.


SDG possible?



I'll be the happiest human if I FC this one.



Lost this one completely.



No comments about these two.

BitterTaste, good job on that Firebird score. I know the others are really tough, especially for someone fairly new to D2, but try to focus on getting used to the patterns in the files, regardless of speed. Using a slower rate for practice should be really helpful here. And of course, remember that you don't need to only play these songs, and you should try working up from a difficulty you are comfortable with. D2 can be a tough division to get used to, but I think you'll be able to handle it! Good luck!

Here are my best scores so far from practicing this morning:







Josh hoot sucks o_o I legit cannot play that stupid file. It is practically the same situation with paranoia a couple weeks ago. This file is just unplayable for me.
However, I might end up getting a SDG on Kick it... I practiced that one a lot with the isolation start because there are so many little spikes of like 10-12 notes.

Terrible First Runs are Terrible. :/
I like this song, no matter how bad I am at the file. No I'm not bias. Or am I?


I completely forgot to change my offsets/speed mod from the TCG challenge...derp.


I have no idea how/why this happens...but randomly, I end up clicking another window and it totally screws up my game. Happened during this 'gorgeous' possible SDG run... I'm crying.



That ending run is the worst.


This file is fanJACKtic.

So since a new month is starting up soon, I just thought I'd look through all the current members and see if anyone changed divisions since I last checked. And I'm glad I did, the results were impressive, and I'm so proud of you all!

Defluxit D1 move to D3
piggybutt D1 move to D2
Abaxvahl D2 move to D3
kacper_w D2 move to D4
Kaitokid1998 D2 move to D3
storn42 D2 move to D3
The_Popo D2 move to D3
darkedge22 D3 move to D4
Kawaii025 D3 move to D4
KLiTz D3 move to D4

Kawaii025, KLiTZ, and kacper_w have graduated, and are of course more than welcome in the EMG Rivalry! Great work!

Edit: Missed a few!

Sirrhythm D3 move to D4
Suicidalfatman D3 move to D4
SoFast D3 move to D4 D5

Again, great work!
