3 year anniversary was too skillspiked to be enjoyable.

Valkyrie was nice.

Nightfall best of set. Plenty of challenge in those jackhammers. Most of the jacks are > but there's one < just to piss off mirrorers, which I like -b

If you aren't already doing this, you can't say you're stuck. Plateauing doesn't really exist, if you aren't improving it means you haven't put in the effort needed to improve, or your effort has been misapplied. It's more of a problem at really high levels, but never totally concrete.

Woohoo



I like Valk, but 32 feels very underrated for its amount of 16ths and consecutive jumps. Play Glaciate, a 32 of similar length and note count, and its FAR easier. The sixteenth notes are faster than most songs at difficulty 40, but they don't last long. There is even a single 32nd note burst which are typically not seen until higher difficulties. It plays to me more like a 38-40.

Edit://
Difficulty spikes are a bit Derpy. I nailed some and dropped goods in some easy spots too

Halogen had a lot to do with how polished the chart actually is. Shoutouts to him for all the help.
