Yggdrasils vs. danceguy Rivalry Thread

[dAnceguy117]

The Icelandic king and the Floridian slacker face off in an epic clash. Two men enter; only one leaves alive. Okay, that's not true. The other will also leave, but after having been brutally shamed. Only one will leave with the knowledge that he is, without question, the greatest StepMania player of all time (excluding a few hundred of other, better players). Who will conquer? Who will invoke the ridicule of not one, but two nations of keyboardsmash-watching-nerds? Who will drop out in under a week with a shitty excuse? There's only one way to find out!

This competition will be speed-based. GOTTA GO FAST. The scoring system will be something like letter grade > DP percentage > PA. In other words, I can't cheat by playing easy sections of files and pretend like I won anything. Passing a file versus failing would probably be worth a few points, too. Passing is good.

Yggdrasils and I will be playing whatever songs we like from whatever bullshit packs provide enough of a speed challenge without necessitating 1.4x rate. Here's the fun part: you get to send us requests! Put up that new dumpstream chart to a Backstreet Boys song you just made half an hour ago, or pick out your favorite files created by the gift from god himself, NVLM_ZK. Or, you know, anything else.



Packs we'll start off with:
HSMP1
midare megapack 3
Nuclear Blast JS Awesome Bomb Filez 4

Any suggestions or requests? gogogogogogo

When you expand packs, the wrath of the hedgehog from hsmp12

[Askur Yggdrasils]

Ha, this is going to be really interesting. Not sure how much I will get to post scores in the following 2 weeks, because, you know, running away from Jólakötturinn...

Anyway, I will make a spreadsheet for these packs. I have spilled alcohol on my laptop, and it is currently drying out.

Hype.

Play my lucky file!!

I'll upload it when i get home

Ertu þá ekki að hlaupa frá jólasveinum líka? Því þú ert að hlaupa frá Jólakettinum?

I'm on laptop keyboard for 2 weeks, so I will get slight boooooost later on


a promising start



the upward trend continues



I don't know how to vibrate, so I tried overlay, but I hit my windows key



I'm learning how to hit some of these patterns accurately



first pass!!!!!!!!!!



idk



new PR probably

[Askur Yggdrasils]

Well, looks like I will have to respond to this in an appropriate way once I am back from abroad.

[Askur Yggdrasils]

Alright I'll just go and bump this since I'm active again .-.

Not posting Blur and Death Moon because this dump of a laptop won't allow me to pass them (my sm insta fails in the blur jacks, otherwise would be FC material, and Death Moon is fun so I kinda want to post a serious score even though your first 3 are obviously jokes)

First, here are some replies to your scores.

This is pretty good for me. The file hits a huuuge weakness of mine (2 handed trills), and it is a shame that my stamina gave up in the end, otherwise this would have been a rather high A, but hey at least it beats yours (for now, I'm sure you can beat your score by a considerable lot)



This one is FC material for me, but laptop won't register quads properly. Ah well, for now you have me beat on this one.



Same story with this one. Definitely not FC material, but I could nail a good AA if jumptrilling recorded properly...



I can also post a lulzy JHM pass for you, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to compete on that kind of stuff so w/e.

Now for some random scores that you may or may not try to beat (most of them not even from the packs you listed in the op lol oops) just to have more material to bring to the table after so goddamn long.

I blame the laptop derps, but still solid imo.



Icelandic TeRage, look at combo.



This isn't all that good but hey stianstreams



This one is actually really gay. I've AA'd this back in the holidays, but didn't want to post it until I'd get some better scores, and meanwhile my previous computer got fried. I didn't want to reply to this thread until I'd get it back but it simply won't happen. Regardless, here's the latest run I've got. I just can't nail those 2 handed trills at the end...




Alright. Lastly I'll show jumpstreaming progress since that's what I've mostly been working on in the past few days.

Posting Superluminal twice because one is AA and the other one is a better A. With a working laptop I could improve accuracy by a ton and also FC this thing with a little bit more practice.





Some more icyscarhand, definitely an improvement even though it's not really good...



This is ok I guess?



Some choking in the last minute of the file, but probably my best score ever jumpstream wise.



I know accuracy is crap but I've always been horrible at it, and on top of that this laptop just won't be accurate enough, but hey new gear on the way so expect better shtuff.

also sorry for not posting for forever

[Askur Yggdrasils]

We can race to the AA Pete!
