Another year, another OT. Whew it's been a while since I've properly played in a tournament, OWL was just the warm-up but THIS is the real deal now. Having high expectations for song releases this year just like any other, lots of charters must have cooked amazing files. As for placement, personally I don't really care, but I would love to get as high as possible considering how I've officially hit D8 between the last OT and this current one :^)

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

Round 1

B1 - Baby: AAA
B2 - Dan Dan Hayaku Naru: AAA
B3 - Spoken Story: AAA
B4 - 11th dimension: AAA
B5 - Avallonis: AAA
B6 - Eureka: AAA
B7 - Akazu: AAA
Bonus 1 - A Mechanical Receptacle, Fifty Shards of a Glowing Heart: AAA

Round Thoughts:

Honestly, a solid first round! Oppiie cooked with Akazu, very excellent song selection too. I did get the very first AAA which I'm proud of teehee. File is really fun to play, rated nicely. B6 got a banger of a song as well!

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

Round 2

B1 - When Sandwiches Come A Knockin': AAA
B2 - Caramel Pain: AAA
B3 - Empire of Light: AAA
B4 - Goddess Gagged: AAA
B5 - Rite On Time: AAA
B6 - Mezzotinto: AAA
B7 - ETERNAL DRAIN v2: AAA
Token - Purple People Eater: /=/

Round Thoughts:

Showing PA in detailed overview makes me really want to go for best accuracy on each song. I felt like this round wasn't as difficult as the last one, the patterns for B7's file were pretty straightforward, although seemed repetitive and not that fun to hit, but oh well, at least the AAA was easy to get. The iconic song carried it all tbh

Round 3

B1 - wWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWw: AAA
B2 - Run: AAA
B3 - Polynomial: AAA
B4 - Pastel Express: AAA
B5 - Metamorphose: AAA
B6 - silly-willy-nilly: AAA
B7 - BIBBIDIBA: MISSFLAG
Token - Redshift: /=/

Round Thoughts:

Woah, round 3 and it already ramped up in difficulty that much?! Going from 102 to 106 is a HUGE jump, but justified since this tournament only has six rounds. As for the chart itself, DZ did a nice job on this. Didn't even realize we had hololive perms (which is huge)! I can't improve past a missflag, but that should be enough to get me to the next round.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

Round 4

B1 - Longing for Earth (Yukitsuki-yashou arrange ver): AAA
B2 - MIRROR: AAA
B3 - Wicked Nasty!: AAA
B4 - Sweet and Fruitful: AAA
B5 - Touk Touk: AAA
B6 - Clex3: SDG - 5-0-1-2
B7 - Kyuukou: PASS - 17-0-2-7
Token - Charge-Parity Violations: SDG - 2-0-0-0

Round Thoughts:

Well... This file's insanely brutal. I kinda lost motivation after a few attempts. Don't get me wrong, it's a great file, but for an OT song it just feels so exhausting to grind. I've settled on PBing it the best I can do and praying I don't get eliminated before going on vacation for a week.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

Afterthoughts:

This journey came to an end, sadly. It was really fun competing with top players and spectating other lower brackets, though. I know I said I don't really care about placement but I feel slightly pissed for getting 9th instead of not pushing for top 8. Oh well, I believe next year will be the year I'll actually pop off :)

ELIMINATED: 9th / 28th

after (almost) spending 4 years on this goddamn rhythm game on 10/31/2024 the unthinkable happened. the one achievement i've been striving to get ever since... i can't believe i'm finally up here.

it feels amazing.

i will never forget what happened on July 26th, 2024 at 02-04PM+ server time.

I WAS HERE
