SM Scores ~2013 Remix~

[bender5]

AA'ing vertex gamma is definitely sign of spread speed sucking LOL fuck me I don't even think I've A'd it......

[DayMan951]

You still have that ss of your first pass Bender?

[bender5]

I'll try to find it around somewhere, but a lot of my REALLY old scores (5-6 years back) got deleted a long time ago.


Edit: still looking for my first v-gamma pass, but I found this....




yeah I don't have that vertex D anymore :<

enjoy my first ever round of SMO though

Nice scores everyone.

So after a while I realised that the only thing holding me back from breaking the Speed Of Sound is reading... is there any advice on reading? I can't hit anything beyond 380/hit any fast polyrhythms because it becomes a clusterfuck to me, but if I manage to read it I can combo it (albeit with sub-par PA), increasing/decreasing my speedmod doesn't really help.

you're probably already anticipating it, but ~distant~

But seriously, I changed from overhead to 50% distant a while ago just because I thought it would be cool and never noticed much of a change, but when I switched from 50% to 100% distant, I could very clearly make out some ~255 bpm js patterns that I couldn't touch because it looked like a wall, and I was able to hit it as long as my fingers managed to move fast enough. I was switching between 50% and 100% distant every other song and my scores were consistently better on 100%; an improvement in my reading ability was instantaneous

[EzExZeRo7497]

Distant doesn't work for me at all, my accuracy takes a nosedive and reading becomes much harder than before. In fact, when I switched BACK from Distant to Overhead, reading became much easier.

example:



The first score was when I was at my prime at the time, the second score was after my 3 month break (break started a few days after the first score), when I got that score during my second rehab session. I was using the same computer, same keyboard, same everything.

[DayMan951]

What about hallway? I can't stand it but maybe it can help you

[EzExZeRo7497]

I tried every perspective, didn't work at all.
I should stop complaining though, lmao, maybe I'll find a decent way of improving my reading some day

[04im]

overhead/distant doesnt really matter, distant you can use faster speedmod and maybe a slightly larger reading window (since it makes the notes tilted)

but in the end it varies from person to person
isaac uses distant and is a beast but midare uses overhead

[V-Ormix]

dude eze play low rates on files but with out changing your cmod and tap your fingers on your desk

[04im]

i heard mina just turned on autoplay on 1.2 or 1.3 for all the files he couldnt rly read and watched the autoplay to get better @ reading
im p. sure i saw a post by him about improving reading somewhere.......... but then again mina encourages 10hour per-day sm sessions so idk

[V-Ormix]

the great thing about not changing your cmod on lower rates is that it doesn't change the arrow density or space between the arrows and just slows it down so it some how 'sinks' in better idk and great for muscle memory or at least it was for me although I need to play more >.<

edit: I might as well post some thing well I'm here x)

pretty sure maximium session i ever proscribe was 8 hour!!!

ps. stian stahp. ur scaring me. me

[EzExZeRo7497]

stian you're not supposed to AA that WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING

Seriously whenever I think that you've hit a skill cap you destroy that barrier and surprise me ahahaha

[EtienneSM]

I wish I could help you with your problem, Eze. I can't read anything past 360 on SM but on OpenITG, I smack 15% mini and overhead on and I nail a To Make the End of Battle 1.6 AA.
I know this sounds stupid but try openITG for a change. It might help your reading skills.

[_Stepdude_]

So yeah, great scores everybody. Nice to see some MA scores in between Staiains wtf scores.

I've thought of that, but OpenITG's reading window is too big for me, (15%-20%) Mini doesn't really help either. I'll probably find a way to make reading easier, for now I'll stick to being an amateur.

reposting legendary score
