Playing Aim Burst put me in PA mode for about 10 minutes before I lost it again... At least I got in my tourny song and this.

Next time I don't suck I'll fill in the rest I guess. Kyuin makes me want to stab myself repeatedly in the ears though, probably not going to play that for a while.

Srry about that guys, everything should be updated to here now, also highlighted Token/Skill Token songs in yellow.

Finally unlocked Midnight Dragon ~_~

**arcnmx** · 02-14-2013, 11:03 AM

Alright, fixed up my laptop issues a bit and swiped a keyboard from a friend. Time for my tryhard pants.

I seriously almost ragequit forever after that travel demon run... It was such an easy part too. D:

**Garquillex** · 02-14-2013, 11:31 AM

how the heck did you go from D2 to that in 3 weeks o.o

**sayuncle990** · 02-14-2013, 11:44 AM

I told you Garquillex, game over.

**arcnmx** · 02-14-2013, 12:11 PM

Dunno, I guess most of it was identifying my weaknesses, getting comfortable with the engine, and playing like 100+ games a day >.>

Let's see...
First it was an inability to read charts properly. I'm used to DJMax/IIDX style games so I couldn't deal with the weird landscape screencut well. I found switching to R^2 (and later R^3) made the game taller, and a speedmod of 2.75ish felt the most comfortable to me. At that point I can just focus my eyes about 2/3rds down the screen from the arrows and read everything fine. Training myself to play in trance/autopilot once I'm comfortable like that helps a lot too.

Second weakness is a lack of stamina/speed, my fingers are just slow. Probably because I'm used to games with many more keys, I could get away with slow fingers since charted notes are more spread out among the others (or I'd supplement staircase-like patterns with wrist movement). So I generally fail at anything jack-heavy or really fast jumpstream, practice and training myself to hit earlier mainly helps that.

And most importantly my accuracy is a huge weakness since this whole game is based around it and I tend to play music games where timing doesn't really matter (and just to relax). It takes a lot of concentration to force myself to hit accurately.

So once I fixed my ability to read charts I could play about anything my fingers can keep up with, I guess that's why I tend to be better at slow but bursty things like October. The rest is really just finger training, which I'm still working on... I have to warm up for a good hour to be able to play half decently, or I'll drop like 400 goods and 50 misses on every song >.>

**Xiz** · 02-14-2013, 12:20 PM

Would it be okay if I joined? I feel as though by AAA this round I might have skillboosted to be a low D3 now... I'm not sure though. Regardless, I might try a few of these songs to see if I can boost to get through next round.

**HalfStep** · 02-14-2013, 01:51 PM

LOL that Travel Demon is fucking amazing wow, CQ Boss is pretty good too.. Makiba is really good.. I hope someone steps their game up in D2 otherwise you're gonna clean sweep it XD

Xiz, of course you can join ! I'll add you to the spreadsheet once you post some scores~

**Bobogoobo** · 02-14-2013, 08:41 PM

Yeah definitely, you might be closer to my range and it would be nice to have scores I can compare to better. Though of course if I don't do something about my play styles you'll just pass me soon anyway :P

**Sweet Angel** · 02-14-2013, 08:56 PM

Bobo you can be my personal rival also @,-,@ Actually that would be pretty fun :3 In tourney's we usually wind up near each other, and our scores aren't that off, besides some streams. But I'm not very good with that stuff either unless I practice it 24/7, rolls suck too. But jumpy songs are probably one of my stronger points. So yes we should be personal rivals <.<

**Bobogoobo** · 02-14-2013, 10:02 PM

Sure I guess, I'm comparing our scores on Delirium but maybe that's a special case :P. You do better than I do on most of the songs but I guess that's what I need to work on. Yay rivalry

**Anon1337** · 02-14-2013, 10:09 PM

You crazy people O.o

**m0de** · 02-14-2013, 10:47 PM

yay xD!

EDIT: damn you should've mode, I can't even beat my score after 178 restarts o_o

**Bobogoobo** · 02-15-2013, 12:02 AM

Bleh, I'm not playing very well today so I played FFLBF to get it out of the way, but I don't really want to post the score because it's so much worse than what I can do. I'll be back in a day or two I guess :P.

**Jonlovesddr** · 02-15-2013, 12:07 AM

I honestly think Rarity could place top 8 in D3

I think I'll probably place exactly 9th and I'll cry a lot
