Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
The 24th trills and 12th jacks give me a hard time unfortunately.

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
October 2018 Reflection
October 2018 Goals - Continue maintaining a good state of the pad: get a riser frame, check the sensors regularly - Play every 2-3 days - Get down to 145 pounds - Play 200 BPM in at least half the sessions - Break 90 on several 14s A lot of weird pad stuff happened this month. I had to adjust the wheels a couple of times and the down panel broke (I was sent a replacement, thanks Kyle Ward ). I was able to install a 1/8" riser frame and adjust the up and right arrows a bit, although I've noticed that the up and right arrow have some particularly interesting issues: - The up arrow is for some reason undersensitive in the bottom-right corner (important corner, go figure) - The right arrow is good on the outside, but the inner edge requires to be hit a certain way to register (important edge, go figure) For now it looks like the pad should be in a playable state, but I'm expecting to have to work on the up and right arrows more this month. Some sessions the right arrow was so bad that it would give 20 or more misses during a song while the other panels would give zero or a few. I did manage to get down to 147 pounds, so even though it's not the 145 goal, it's still a good step forward considering how much my weight fluctuates. The 200 BPM goal didn't work out as much as I hoped due to pad issues, although I did try out some DDR songs like Anti-Matter CSP 18. I'm going to take away the play every 2-3 days goal and just go by that I'll try to play as often as I can without making it stressful. The aim is still every two days as much as I can. I did break 90 on the two 14s I got videos of on October 1st, but nothing after that. What really stood out to me for October was my DDR A accomplishments. On October 20th I got the following: - First Single 18 950,000 break (Max 360 ESP 18) - Another Doubles 18 Pass (Paranoia Revolution EDP 18) - Two new ESP 16 AAAs (Life is Beautiful and Wadatsumi) - Fascination Maxx CSP 18 double digit greats and single digit misses As a result, I'll have goals for DDR A mixed in this time. I of course still have a focus of improving stamina and speed, which should lead to accomplishing the DDR A goals. What'll make the DDR A goals harder is that on public DDR machines, the pads are not modded so there are more misses and greats that result from trying to play similarly on my pad. November 2018 Goals - Get down to 145 pounds - DDR A: Break 990k on several more 16s - DDR A: Break 900k on more 18s, and break 950k on another 18 - DDR A: Break 970k on several 17s (Be a Hero and Saber Wing Headshot come into mind) |

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
Updated the score post with my November 14th session which was the best ITG session for this month. I fell on my left knee this morning from slippery ice so I'm going to take it easy and possibly start again on Sunday.

Also I usually only go to the Round 1 locations once a month, so the playing on my SMX pad in between is meant to help me improve between those sessions. Next time I'm thinking of playing more 18s, and possibly passing a 19. The two I have in mind are Valkyrie Dimension or Egoism 440; these are going to be harder on the arcade pads vs. my home setup. |

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
On December 13th (Thursday) Seth, myself, and a few others went to the Round 1 in Puente Hills. While they did require shoes, I was able to borrow fitkicks for this session and did much better than I originally anticipated.
Summary - Second 15 PFC (In Between) - 18 improvements: 950k break on NGO, 970k break on Maxx Unlimited X-Special - Deadball PFC (this is a tricky 13 to time, it's swing based) - A few other 13 PFCs - Other improvements on 15s and 16s Pictures Click the spoiler below to see the score pictures. |

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
Saturday (December 22nd) was the first time I used skinners for a full DDR session. They're definitely the best shoes I've used for dance games, as they feel similar to socks but have more grip so it also is a solution to me not playing doubles barefoot. It was the last Round 1 session I had at Puente Hills before going back from my California trip.
It's worth noting this is the first DDR session that the ingame calorie counter broke 2,000 calories. (Below run was playing Paranoia Survivor on 0.25x speedmod with flat) . Summary For Singles: - Two new 17 980k breaks - Played more 18s with some improvements - More 16 improvements and AAAs - Some more 15 improvements and lower level PFCs For Doubles: - First PFC (Holic EDP 11) - First 15 AAA (got two) - Improvement on Paranoia Revolution EDP 18 - 970k break on a doubles 16 Pictures Click the spoiler below to see the score pictures and the descriptions.

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
November 2018 Reflection
November 2018 Goals - Get down to 145 pounds - DDR A: Break 990k on several more 16s - DDR A: Break 900k on more 18s, and break 950k on another 18 - DDR A: Break 970k on several 17s (Be a Hero and Saber Wing Headshot come into mind) This is really more of a November-December reflection since I was gone to California for two weeks in December. I'm also taking a break from dance games right now, and looking to start getting back into the routine of things in around a week. All of the November 2018 Goals were accomplished over the two month period except for the weight goal. The weight goal is going to be adjusted. While I haven't been going down to 145, I have been staying around the low 150s range. From today I was 151; the idea is to make sure all my current clothes fit nicely, and that I feel more comfortable physically (which is what I found 145 to be the ideal weight for). I'm going to focus mostly on the DDR A accomplishments to list what I totally did not expect. Some of them were the 950k breaks I got on some 18s, the new PFCs on 15+, getting a first level 17 AAA, and more. I didn't list all of them here, although this gives an idea of how I can look forward to more improvement. Now my focus should include improvement on speeds 180 and higher. Going for a 15 on ITG right now isn't a good idea just yet until my speed is more consistent. February 2019 Goals - Stay in the lower 150s weight range or below - Pass more ITG 13s and 14s that are 180 BPM or above - Pass more of the remaining 18s for the 18 clear lamp - Pass a 19 on DDR A

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
February 9th, 2019: Second trip to Maine R1 location of the year. I noticed the left and up arrows were much less sensitive than the pads in Taunton, MA so I was noticeably getting more misses on harder charts. I still managed to snag my second 17 AAA this day however!

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
March 2nd is the ITG session that marks my first exotic ethnic 2.0x rate pass! Today was also an excellent day for crossover patterns, as I cleaned up scores on two other songs that I had below 80% passes on from years ago (Old Skool Luv and Max 300).
Scores Videos • exotic ethnic Heavy 2.0x rate - 76.56% pass • Part I A - Max 300 (Challenge) [93.32%] • Part I A - Old Skool Luv (Challenge) [94.72%] |

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
May 4th
Got a Maine Round 1 trip with my friends. I've come to the conclusion that the Maine R1 pads aren't as good for bracketing as the Round 1 Taunton pads, so it's harder to play in socks. I did manage to pass a set of 3 double 18s in a row this time around. I was VERY close to failing on Trigger's 18; that ending is way harder than it looks. Also got a new 17 AAA (Rising Fire Hawk), Boss Rush AAA, and a new 15 PFC! May 11th First hard ITG session in a while. Most of it was 13s and 14s. I ended up getting almost a 7% improvement on Crush, got my first pass on Silence 1.3 rate (68 measures of simple 182 stream), and my first pass on Granite. I was so gassed after Granite, although it was a good 80 minute session (first half was 10-12s). |

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
May 27th
I was on a bit of a hiatus since my last ITG session, although today's session was a nice surprise. I'll have passing an ITG 15 by end of June a goal. This session started off slower with a previous 10-12 songlist, and then I jumped into 13s and higher for the rest of it. It's worth noting that: - I upscored Calamity Fortune from my October 1st, 2018 fluke run! (92.33% to 93.89%) - FC on Be Lovin', with my previous score being an 89.41% on September 11th, 2018. What was nice about this session was that I played several 200 BPM songs that weren't just Calamity Fortune. Getting a better hang of 200 made Be Lovin' feel so much more manageable.

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals
June sessions
June 1st Had another Round 1 Maine Mall trip on June 1st, and had some nice 18 upscores and registered passes on Anti-Matter and 888 (previously had no score on them). June 10th Pretty good ITG session today in preparation for my first 15. June 11th The day of my first ITG 15 pass! In addition to it being a Pendulum 15, it was also the day of my first Pendulum 14 star. Videos for the above two: June 18th Got 15 passes #2 and #3 today (although Thursday is debatable). Also got Thursday on video! Above picture is to give an idea of how much better the score could have been if the up arrow bottom right corner wasn't giving so many misses. June 22nd Today I cleared the remaining 18s needed to get an 18 folder clear lamp! Also broke 980k on Max 300 X-Special and broke a new personal record for used calories count in a single Round 1 session (that's what the Drop Out picture is). June 25th I got two more Pendulum 15s! I met my goal of three Pendulum 15s earlier than anticipated so this was nice. I like the idea of "Haulin' Tuesday" This means that I currently have five 15 passes (although Thursday is arguably a higher 14). It's nice to start getting into 15s on a more consistent basis now, even if I haven't been playing as much as I want. |
