Afterthoughts
==========
Can't keep up with the heavy accuracy-focused tournament meta, it'll always bite me in the end. Hard to nail every piece of jank in the easier files. Overall difficulties were a lot lower than I anticipated them to be; even to reach top 16 was only an 89 which is a AAA candidate for mid-D6 players. Never got to showcase my speed/stamina, pretty unlucky.


Round 5
=======
[94] Antigravity
7-0-0-2

Seemingly straightforward on the surface but it's full of tons of places to drop dumb goods, and grinding the file is a massive headache due to everything being condensed into a few spikes. Still waiting for the files that are physically demanding but consistent and jankless. Should be good enough of a score, but I know I can get ~2g on something like this. Edit: Ha, guess not

Round 4
=======
[89] Sayonara Cosmonaut
7-1-0-0

The 24ths streams give me fits to PA consistently. Needed mirror for the streams for whatever reason, but I don't like grinding this file, the SDG is fine. The lenient cutoff makes this more than enough to move on regardless.

Round 3
=======
[88] Eternal Peace Is Nothing But An Illusion
3-0-0-0

Relatively straightforward but hard to keep consistent on the awkwardly slow 32nd bursts. Lots of people had problems with the ending intensity but I had no issues with the trill anchors and mini rolls. Something else I could AAA but would be hard to nail in the end so not gonna bother.

Round 2
=======
[86] Lamuscore
1-0-0-1

Excellent chart, felt pretty straightforward. Got 3g and then 1-0-0-1 both within the first 10 min or so. Can fish for the AAA but the amount of effort doesn't seem worth as it's just r2.

Round 1
=======
[82] Ambient Ooparts
3-1-1-1

Long song over 3.5 min, great chart but huge spikes and chokebait throughout the whole thing. Keeping my sanity for now instead of fixing.
