Kind of the reason why I stopped submitting scores since you kept picking files with the one pattern I'm absolute garbage at. I was ok with the first round being a jacky file, I'm like "meh, I'll just deal with it." Round two was just a giant cockslap to the face, watching people nearly AAA'ing while I'm stuck trying to get less than 50 goods. Round 3 was also a little ugh since it's the jacks in the song that make it difficult for me, although I was more upset that I've sdg'ed the file before and I couldn't duplicate such a score. Round 4 was finally a non-jacky file, but I'm forever mind-blocked on that song, my fingers refuse to move properly anymore when it comes to that song. And then there's round 5 with LOLJACKS in the middle of the file. I hope that explains why I stopped submitting, lol.

EDIT: And the excuse you gave was very poor. Sure there are a lot of FMO's that are FMO's because of the jacks in them, but you seemed to pick files that emphasized them more than anything. There are loads of FMO's that could have been chosen that don't emphasize jacks such as Heavenly Spores, Choprite, No Purpose Flour, Kono Spoon, Starwolf, October, Passage D, Perfect Cherry Storm (if you exclude the intro jack), Staring at my Spaceship, Obscene Amount of Steam, Midnight Dragon, and I go on and on and on. Sorry to criticize your song choices, but I think it'd be better for the next season (if you continue), to have someone else do or help you with the song choices, someone with a good amount of knowledge of the songs in the game so they can pick a variety that emphasize a vast variety of skills.

Plenty of streamy/bursty/JS FMOs out there. Trill files too, but after so many jack files, trilling would feel too similar.
Eradication/Ripoff/Obscene Amount of Steam would have been nice picks for this round, I think. If you wanted a little easier than that, maybe Staring at my Spaceship or Passage D [Heavy] or something.
2c

I'll note that I think your D1 choices have been spot-on so far, really well rounded. In my opinion, D1's next round should be a speed/JS file, a little jacks are okay but not a heavy emphasis on bursts. Almost There, Magical 8-bit Tour, Winter Wind Etude and Rain stick out as decent options, maybe a little too hard though. Mourning the Lost is another nice, slightly easier option, or you could go full troll and give them a 13, or Red Wings Over Baron
Haven't paid much attention to the other divisions, sorry.
IDK just offering my opinion. I'm really enjoying this and want to help; don't take it personally, please.

You didn't put in my Round 3 score, and I did post one. It was late, so if it was intentionally ignored that's fine, but I just wanted to make sure that you did see that it was posted.

[pikakirby123]

Supped my old score by 41 goods + a couple boos... On first try. Yay for non-laggy computer! I also like the first half of the song in that it's really smooth, easy pattern streams. I dislike the part when it's a bunch of triplets + random stuff and jumps, aka 2nd half of song.

I'm so mindblocked on the song so lol thought this was funny enough to post.. has happened like 5 times to me

[yo man im awesome]

stop supping my scores

edit: eh

[Bobogoobo]

I had several close calls and I'm kind of annoyed I got the one boo right near the end, but I was so anxious to get the FC that I guess it was bound to happen somewhere. That's a ton of goods though, I think many of them were in the yellowy stream sections, I often get goods on those. And I hate the patterns at the end. Hope I don't have to beat this >.>

[Guest15937]

...A tie. How...

[Bobogoobo]

Haha, awesome. How does scoring work in a tie? I think I'll still try to improve my score though (in a few days), maybe I could be more careful in the streams.

Late scores are recorded on my scoresheet, but they don't get points, just prevent you from getting dropped from inactivity.

Mkay makes sense

I know reuben's post was semi harsh, but there was a point in there and I don't know about just brushing it off like that. All he's trying to say is that the song choices for D2 were a little bit skewed towards jacks and there were other choices that could of been made to make it a little more balanced. I mean maybe he could of said it better or something but that's still reasonable in my opinion

I'm sorry I'm not trying to be rude the idea for this tournament is a great one and it kind of sucks that people aren't really submitting, but even so the tournament could still be better so I think it's important to pay attention to criticism like that.

MashMashRevolution...on a Level 8 song

[hi19hi19]

Improved to a not-awful score no offense Kana

I could maybe knock off a few more goods, but not enough to beat Preggers, so GG on this round.
At least I'm happy with this score now.

[typing like wat]
