OT17 - A reflection
Posted on: June 28, 2024, at 11:05:34am

NO WAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I Love FFR Maps So Let's Go

Round 1: Q33B - 99 - Round 1

Very fun map ngl. The minijacks aren't too bad but I can see why some people may not like them (minijack player here XDDD). The trills aren't too bad except like 2 parts.

There's an outter trill that goes on for a while and goes into some burst which can be so easy to choke. The ending jumptrill switching up and then back to jumptrill is also really easy to choke on!

Besides all of that though this file is very fun. A difficult start to OT17, gonna be interesting to see how OT17 goes. Hopefully I can come back to peak especially with a completely new mindset :)

Anyways not much to comment on since it's the start. My entire performance will be dedicated to crystal haha xd i would've never guessed. Anywyas Time to wait another week

Round 2: Tarantula Funk Beats - 101 - Round 2

Wow ok this is a huge step up. It has some pretty hard minijacks and just bursts in general but honestly I really enjoyed this file. It took me like 4 hours to AAA (thanks crystal for being there for the entire time xd). I personally love this song. I'd love to see this used somewhere else but who knows. The minijacks r rlly mean for this file so I'm unsure how to feel about those even despite being really good at minijacks. The minijacks are the main chokepoints with some other bursts but I think other than that this is a really enjoyable map. I also switched my skin this week so I had to play this song on a new skin (it's actually helping a lot). We'll see how Round 3 goes. Slightly worried that these news are gonna take a very long time to AAA but we'll see :P

Round 3: Cold Heart - 103 - Round 3

this seemed pretty daunting at first but I managed to AAA within 10 minutes. Good file. Nothing much to say this felt easier tho.

Round 4: Dysnomia v2 - 106 - Round 4

The complete opposite of cold heart! Looked easy, struggled but mostly cuz lag spikes (due to discord vc XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD). ill have to replay this sometime but file annoying so ye.

Round 5: Angel's Salad (Full Ver.) - 110 - Round 5

Goated song. Looked super hard but I got a pretty good score. I think I could AAA this but didn't do it within round. Made it past so we're good. Probably my favorite or one of my favorite files from the tournament at least. I had a lot of fun with this.

Round 6: Strong 280 - 111 - Round 6

This file is bad. I like the song but the difficulty sucked. I didn't like this and probably my least favorite file. I managed to tie with Zoobin so that was cool but that does mean we go to TB.

Round 6 TB: Roy - 111 - Round 6

Good file. Managed to set a very good score (choked AAA) and I beat Zoobin which was very interesting for me to see but really showed me how far I've come in this game. Good file.

Round 7: Restoration Lake - 114 - Round 7

Wow this looked so god dang hard on stream but I managed to choke my top play??? (I got too nervous and started messing up on the 1kps section XDDDDDDD). Holy hell was this a score. Managed to make the entry to top 3 extremely hard so that's great.

Round 8: Grains - 120 - Round 8

Yeah No. GG. 3rd place is honestly really crazy to me and this whole experience was great! I'm really glad to play in this tournament and make it this far. Thank you to all the stepperse for making fun files! Let's see what next tournament holds :]

thx astal for motivating me
