Rhythm game rivals?

so ur rival is Humanity?

I feel that though I remember when av rank was what was used to show in game ranks and so few people had every song played I think i was like top 150 or something on the site cuz of that

same with this guy (I definitely lost this one later on but around 2016 we were neck and neck with rank back when we were both around 400k-200k)

nonyu was a really fun rival in etterna, even though i never could beat him

at least it was fun until jackspeed started to get 500% more ssr, apparently

c'est la vie

The two I can think of in my late career were Zenith (https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...d.php?t=142839) back when I was near my prime.

Then me and Matthia which I attempted right at the end of my career but my finger nerve injury was too much to keep up with the beast anymore

Revolutionomega and I were fighting over FMO AAAs for a while, and Zlyice and I had a fun back-and-forth for several months.
She's definitely better than I am now, but having those rivalries encouraged us to be better, but also helped foster friendships (underrated aspect of rivalries, imo).

Me, V-ormix, DayMan951 and shadow_1800 were all rivals at the time. We were trying to improve to catch up with everyone else who were D7 in FFR but focused more on getting scores in SM3.95. Eventually, around 2015, DayMan951 permanently quit the game, I left due to studies and repeated forearm injuries, and V-Ormix got banned. Idk what happened to shadow_1800.

If at some point you come back to the game and have a post-hiatus skillboost... it's on.

I don't have any rivalries really, but I think Josemba wants me to compete with them on knocking out AAA's in the game. Maybe something'll come out of that as we keep playing.
