Midnight's Summer Tourney

[-zeroSKILL-]

the problem is, i'm not mashing at all >_>

and why would I care if my screenshot was in the right format unless it was something that would beat yo man's score?

I'm tempted to try and take a vid of me playing this file, but the only camera I have right now is my webcam, and i'm afraid the quality would be complete crap and my keytaps would be hella loud :/

I'll consider it though, just to show I'm not mashing and this was a totally unfair pick lol.

Surprise.

PS. Go fix the OP. It says Max only has 58905. It should be 85905.

I HATE YOU

There is no way in hell I can compete against yo man im awesome's score.

If I don't improve on this by the end of today, just eliminate me and be on with the tourney.



Though I still think the most fair way to deal with this tiebreaker would be to just choose a high VC or low FMO. Winnipeg is either a high FMO or low FGO imo >_>.

edit:
low-fgo, for sure. going to SMO now for dump practice.

edit2:
got this while waiting for SM to load. slight improvement -_-

Zero, remember that we're not going for LOLCOMBOSCORING. We're going for Raw score, that means you should try just just land the PA at this point. I have a feeling you can improve this a lot.

lmfao, im *obviously* not going for combo scoring. I even stated my RAW score in my post, not my total score. I really can't improve on this that much.

I feel we should be playing D3 songs in Division 3 though... even for double tie breakers. we just got a retarded easy tie breaker last round that could've been a round 2 song pick where other people would've been pulling AAA's. but to go from Dragon's Bane to Winnipeg is ****ing dumb in my opinion.

This just shows that you're more ready for D4 than I am in my opinion >_<

(also, lol at how you were scared of being matched up against me at first... I'm *not* that good lmao)

Lmfao, it's what I get for basing things off of levelranks cause I remember the days when you could kick my ass anyday.

But yea even still, I think we'd do well as rivals. You push me to AAA, I push you to do better on hard songs.

EDIT: I'm playing DF's St. Scarhand to bring up my PA. You should do the same. My record is 2106-105-2-9-9 on my second playthrough.

[-zeroSKILL-]

I'm playing dumps on SM on C890 to bring up my PA and reading to what they used to be.

It really is disgusting what more than a year break from FFR did to me :/.

My level ranks will not be improved any time in the near future except for on easy songs (8-9). Gonna take a lot of work and dedication to bring any of my VC+ scores up ~_~

Ahhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahaha
D3's final is an 11. This song is OBVIOUSLY a 12. Tie breakers are the hardest songs I will pick. Just

Are you SERIOUS? You're the most competiton I've had had in a LONG time!

But if you're sure, I guess I'll take it. Nice tie-ing with you.

[-zeroSKILL-]

i'd bother to keep trying if it was something within D3 skill... but Winnipeg is kinda over the top.

obligatory: Xx{Fagnight}xX is a terrible tourney host, etc~



edit:
also, if i'm the most competition you've had in a long time, you'll blow through and win D3 easy. I'm no D4 player, but i consider myself a pretty fuckin' solid D3'er. gl against YOSHl. he's the only person in D3 that scares me lol. well, with songs within D3 limitations.

again, winnipeg is a fucking retarded tie breaker and middie is an idiot for picking it as a tiebreaker for round 1 in D3.

Actually, I think it was more of a "Hmm.. I need to break this GODAMN tie somehow.. I should just dump something on them.."

Middie probably just chose this so the tourney could continue.

I personally think Middie's a great Tourney host. Matched us up quite well.

[Poison-]

I don't understand why people complain about the song choices.
Just play the song, beat your opponent's score, move on.
Easy as that.

Only made that comment cause he said something in prochat about me being one of the few to not call him a terrible host. I felt obligated to come here and call him one. And while I do feel we were a good match for each other, there are limits.

I mean honestly if I wanted to get on a bitch about something, it would be that you have too much speed for D3, and can read charts 10x better than me etc. honestly, we're a good match, up until the point where you or me should just flat out be in different divisions.

there's a transition period between separate divisions for a reason... hell why do you think YOSHl is in D3 with us? he has Oni, shouldn't he be at least D4?

I mean... fuck, picking a song like this doesn't feel like a fair end to the battle we've been having at all. you may as well say YOSHl is D2 cause the rest of his scores don't say D3 or higher, then get in a AAA tiebreaker two times in a row, and then give them an FMO jacking song as a tiebreaker in D2.

it just doesn't fucking make any sense. you'd maybe think that you'd give the person YOSHl is facing a *chance* at beating him.

in my metaphor, you are YOSHl and can jack. middie gave us a jacking song, and i'm a D2 player that can't jack. so yes... i'm mad i have no chance of redeeming myself from this tie breaker, but i don't want to continue bitching about it ~_~

Well, there's an argument I can't really say much back to.

But what I will tell you, is that regardless of how well I can read patterns/how great my speed is, I still find it rediculously difficult to AAA things. Like to the point where when it would normally be laughable at, just 10X worse, and not enjoyable/funny.

[-zeroSKILL-]

Kinda exactly where my point lies...

Just you have to look for the point with what you said.

You have the speed and reading to perform well on more difficult charts. I don't. Yet as you can see, I have every single file in game that is difficulty 7 or lower AAA'd, and I'm getting near AAA'ing the rest of the 8's. I have PA and moderate speed/reading.

The file we were given was a fair choice for our division (the first tie breaker, Dragons Bane), but it was too easy for me to repetitively PA (as seen from the retarded amount of blackflags I got on it), and too short/easy for you to mess up your PA.

The next *logical* move in a tiebreaker would be to present us with a song that is not only difficult to PA, but also a little lengthy, and I was thinking a mid-VC chart would be the next pick. Honestly, I feel a song like Sympathizer or Flying High or Survive would've been awesome picks for our tiebreaker.

Neither of us would've AAA'ed any of those files, and it still would've actually felt competitive.

Instead we're given an FGO, and you rofl win. Wow... that was fun.

No. That was retarded, and I am upset by it, but there isn't much I can do to fix it. So grats on the win.

I don't feel like dragging this out longer only to lose the argument, because I know I will, lol. Either way, I'm off to go play for my soccer team, be back later.

Everything on the internet is an argument~ -_-

Not really. I'm not arguing the decision. I said I would back out of the tourney and I stand by that, but just trying to put food for thought in peoples heads.

When you set up a division based tourney like this (where the divisions are based on someones skills) you don't just up the bar to beyond what is expected out of that division to see a result. While it is true someone will victor over the other, it's kinda like putting a white-belt and a yellow-belt (a yellow-belt is one "degree" higher than a white belt) against a black-belt in martial arts terms. The yellow-belt student may have the time and understanding of his art, and perform it with mechanical consistency (hi, I'm the yellow-belt in this particular metaphor), but that won't always beat the raw power of his white-belt (you're the white belt. not for lack of skill, but just the raw "power" you have compared to me) counterpart.

That was a horrible metaphor, but I didn't feel like exaggerating it by saying something like a white-belt vs a black-belt and a brown-belt (one degree lower than black) vs a black-belt or something.

Either way, I'm a consistent player. If I've achieved a score once (recently), there is no doubt in my mind that I could get it again, and again, and again, ad infinitum. I don't just miraculously bust out insane scores from no where. Every single song in my level ranks *is optimized* for me. There isn't a single score in there I could improve on PA wise (combo wise, yes, but I don't mash any more).

tl;dr (hate every single one of you lazy fuks that never bothers to read the full thread before replying btw)
Once again, we are in D2. you are YOSHl, i'm a random D2'er. we just AAA'd our tie breaker on a difficulty 8. we now have AIM Anthem as a tiebreaker, and I don't know how to jack, and you unlocked Otaku Speedvibe [Oni] on this chart.

HOLY COW!!! You FINALLY managed to AAA a For Masters Only Song!!! YOU ARE GOD!!! Enjoy your win in D2 as your prize!

Thats basically how I see this~

Enjoy your soccer game though ;P

[GG_Guru]

Brian you should just play stepmania til your fingers BLEED. I'm telling you man I have THE perfect song you can train on. When you're done with my sm training for you 8's will seem like 4's and 9's like 5's etc...

Hit me up on aim.

[-zeroSKILL-]

I'll hit you up some time tomorrow when I'm not about to pass out lol~
