I'm onto you, Zenith.

Good luck on the 1Bil and give it your all Zenith~

I'm gonna hold off and set a date where I can be fully prepared to go for it.

I'm thankful some of the peoples in stream last night were offering tips on better optimal results for doing this, one of which is actually sleeping until server switch and starting with a full tank of gas

I know I said I was going for it but I do think the best to do is above and also I do want to see how close someone can get to 2Bil.

When the legit run happens (probably in a week or so) I'll be streaming the entire thing and hosting some music because VBB can get maddening

Also big ups to those who were there last night

When you just mess around and try it on your own you wind up stopping because you're bored, too tedious, etc but with people it's like "nah mang ur're immortal" and it just hypes you up to see the end

I am definitely going to try this like next weekend or so

[xXOpkillerXx]

Was I not so busy with school/job I'd give it another try too with you.

Anyway yeah make sure you have a skype call or stream chat, that's really what helped me not die srsly...

stream chat was the way to go

having jteh sunfan and dance was a joy

ormix blessed me at the end

might shoot for the weekend of 15-17th if you are available then because it would be cool to joint do this with someone (and I've never previously attempted this so I got a taste of it last night)

Well here are a few tips I can think of if you seriously want to do 1.8 or higher:

1. Have food that you can easily eat with one hand and when you do eat it, mash points with your other hand.

2. Play vRofl's intro when you can constantly combo it (sounds silly but lemme tell you, after 1Bil your hands will most likely be fucked and your consistency will drop).

3. If you sleep right before server reset, make sure to wake up at least 30 minutes or even 1 full hour before go so you can maybe stretch arms/hands and warm up, preventing injuries.

4. Make damn sure you wont be interrupted for silly things.

5. Glhf

Vrofl intro is just exhausting to do even though it is apparently faster than 850 autofail VBB.

Also even though the difference isn't much but legitly PA'ing one of those is better than mashing for GT gains (like 100 VBB AAAs > 150 mashed Vrofl intros)

Yeah, I took like four breaks, one being extended due to my hand, and I was playing music in the stream so I do take a quick momentary break to change it up.

Thank you for this though, I'll take any tips

[botchi246]

valiant effort! next time maybe we can have a get 2 bill challenge

[botchi246]

me and you manos y manos

You will Not keep PA'ing VBB, I'm almost certain. But hey maybe you can prove me wrong ^^

I did pretty good, some runs were 1-3g and 1-2 boos but us D7 players have that kind of stamina

I fully expect like 200 or so runs to start feeling the toll of exhaustion

[Tarrik]

One huge tip i can give you that helped me out was keeping your hands in warm-semi hot water. Just a short 2 minute break or so to do that. They'll feel like new for a little bit before you're in agony again lol.

proper preparations are key from what I'm reading

such as sleeping before server reset

[Walrusizer]

youll probably do better in the long run if you try to use virtually no energy hitting the keys, even if it results in worse pa early on, the stamina saved will really help you later

Stocking up snacks and clearing your schedule can be key as well. Even with good PA, depending on song choice you're there for at least 18-20 hours.

850p autofail VBB, space to restart for faster speed in between runs

During last nights little pseudo-run I didn't have any of that and it was debilitating

Might also switch to 300-400p autofail Vrofl intro because that is somewhat faster but more stamina draining

I will also be streaming the entire thing once the day comes

[Jtehanonymous]

when I did it, I woke up just before the server time reset. I had a few snacks ready and at the time I was actually home with my parents too so I notified them of what I was doing. blocked off that entire day a week in advance. I think I even cut some of my work hours wow

I had a twitch stream the whole time and that really helped. I managed to get to 1 bil in around 15 and a half hours. I decided to take a nap for a little while after that because my forearms hurt so much~ I woke up maybe with 3 hours left and just got a bunch more points because why not.

My strategy was mostly mashing eighth note quads on vbb to any music I could stand listening too, autofail one miss, offset so notes began immediately. I would switch to nyan cat or needneedneed sometimes too. at first I took a short break every 2 hours or so, but then that quickly become every hour or so for a few minute.

Not sure if I'd ever give it another try. I'm not nearly conditioned to do it again like I was back when I tried. when i finished, I couldn't play FFR normally for 3 days. I just...didn't have the ability to read notes and press the keys at all anymore hahah.

I find it hard to believe exactly how much damage & devastating attempting something like this could be for someone, considering I have never tried it, and if someone didn't care that much, they could definitely break the leaderboards by just quadholding the first 2 densejs sections in Serious Shit

quadholding isn't functional on R^3

I did do 700p autofail Serious Shit last night to see but I didn't know how exactly the time worked (like if it was faster) but ultimately the challenge here is your arms not falling off

vrofl is a bit of a struggle for me to pull off consistently but I can AAA VBB 850p autofail frequently enough that the GT is probably better off just using it.

However that's cheating for that purpose and easily noticeable in the Recent plays section. Also you don't simply get over 1Bil points in a single day without having people follow your progress/watch you do it.
