[Concluded] 11th Official Tournament - Round 8

[Poison-]

I swear someone can go from D2 to low D4 in 3 weeks. Improvement is so fast at that skill level.

[MarioNintendo]

Im in guys!

[Kanzas]

I wonder if I am the lowest D4 player... lol I used to be pretty decent, getting okay scores, but I have been surpassed hard by a few people (shout out to Kawaii for running past me at full speed, you go gurl). Either way, this will be interesting.

Maybe i can invest in a mech kb for stamina gains.. laptops are not impact friendly.

There's huge room for growth in the lower divisions in short spans, we've seen it every tournament. This is why I'm looking to shift things downward a little bit. It's not going to be drastic, but hoping it may help in the upper area slightly since it's way harder to improve skill in those areas.

The hype for the 11th tournament is sure no where near the hype for the 4th or 5th etc... =/

[psychoangel691]

4th and 5th were also both prior to FFR's downtime

Site's not as active in general anymore.

[Bach96]

Yeah I can understand that. I just can't improve recently. I skill-spiked a little while back and now I just don't feel like I am getting better. Kinda just plateaued since then. But I am sure that I will get better without realizing it during the tournament.

[psychoangel691]

Keep working at it, you'll break through the plateau.

[Insert Henry Ford quote)

I can't breakthrough mine, tears Q_Q

Reason for choosing my signiture is how i feel about how i will do in D4, getting beat down with a gas powered stick. lol

[PhantomPuppy]

I can confirm that it is possible to go from near the lowest in a division to placing pretty well. I played up from D2 to D3 last year and went from only having SDG's on songs in the 40's to placing 13th in D3 (long story why I didn't make top 8 that I don't feel like including lol). Like someone else said, this is an example of a lower division skill increase, but it's still very possible to skill boost within the duration of the tourney. Don't give up before it even starts.

tl;dr don't let your dreams be dreams.

you'll be surprised at how quickly you can improve

You're solid D2 and can prob make it to at least round 3 or 4 without much issue

There are also non-submitters in the first couple rounds anyways for lower divisions which makes that part even easier

D1 is for people who are literally new to the game, you doing well + me coaching should mean don't worry
If you were in D1 you'd literally have no issues at all since you can do well on some rando 20s song and the vast majority of them would struggle to get a somewhat presentable score

In the 9th OT went from being placed in D1 (probably by accident) to immediate bump to D2 to boosting to D5 in a couple months
