I also think I'm pretty fair in most skills, however, my jacking (lol) is really horrible. I can get minijacks most of the time, but anything more than like four really fast and I'm screwed. I think I'm great at stream however.

Strengths: Easy stuff.
Weaknesses: Jamais Vu.

brb hitting Chik wall as-is.

yes you actually should hit the chik habit wall as it is..

it's entirely possible, most people just don't have good enough accuracy for it. i don't understand why you advocate BSing patterns -- it's just a crutch for not being good enough to hit them as they are.

EDIT: inb4 you use rato as an example

[Mike Weedmark]

I don't advocate it, but if I waited until I could hit the Chik Habit wall to play Chik Habit, or the Rage wall, or the end of Mathsma or Little God's, or the entirety of Skeletor, I'd probably never play anything above 76 :P There's a lot in this game I'm bad at, but I don't want it to get in the way of playing songs I love that I'm 97% fantastic at, like Blue Rose.

[Fission]

there are tons of files that don't have walls in them though, especially now that there is rates -- you can just make an easier file with no walls an FGO. besides, i barely touch files with really fast walls in them anyways because they are really dumb a lot of the time.

this is partly my SM bias talking, though. jumptrilling, among other ways to bs patterns in SM, is ill-advised since it completely ruins your MA most of the time.

[V-Ormix]

long jacks one hand trills marathons ma

[mi40]

yfw i actually hit chik habit wall as intended

[Gundam-Dude]

[GammaBlaster]

Some files you have to bs patterns because it's so dense that physically hitting them as they are is impossible

The stamina is the worst part, especially when I haven't played in awhile like my current condition
