The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

I haven't seriously played this file since I've skill boosted. While I don't think I'm capable of sub 150 on the file I do think I can get sub 50 misses and sub 30 boos with a decent conbo

Stargroup would just love that his parody scoring file has turned into a greatly appreciated scoring file lmao

never knew it was a parody!

For those that are wondering: Most people play spread nowadays. The standard angles for spread are absolutely godawful for trilling. Look at how you have to bend your fingers just to hit the keys. You're creating a shitload of unnecessary tension that hinders your speed.

It's one reason why curved key setups help a lot here, but the problem is that they are really awkward to get used to even though they are arguably better for skill improvement (you have to remap some muscle memory so it makes sense with the arrows you are reading).

EDIT: Goddamnit hi19hi19 beat me to it

interesting comparing rubix & dossar's thoughts on that...

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

Anyways it would indeed be interesting to see how people do on this file with practice. :P

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

after an sm session sometime i'll do some isolation and give it an honest few runs. ffr's been lagging less than usual (tho i still can't read it that well and i get bogus misses so i won't fc). could be interesting to try and score on this pos haha

is it lagging on r^2?

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

i just get a bit of a buggy framerate in all the engines, standalone or not. sometimes it fixes itself sometimes not i dont really care haha. more than that though i just get a lot of goods and i refuse to believe i get goods

also i'm pretty sure i split basically ALL my jumps/hands on this laptop which is fine for sm but obviously not for this

i can MA the jumpjacks at the beginning of shash's DP but good/boo the hell out of them in FFR rip

Velocity: You seriously have no way of finding my old DP replay? Why not? You have RATO/Gigadelic/RAN, right?

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

There is no trace of it anywhere.

Edit: Scratch that, found something by doing something I never thought of before.

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

I always thought that FFR held onto a fair number of replays even if you didn't choose to "save" them publicly

I don't have the speed to pull off anything in this file.
300+ goods before the first half. Jacks are my worst patterns.
Old habits also make me mess up if I try a concave setup.

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

If you can't find it (which totally kills the fun here) I will announce here the truth of the replay soon

If only keeps them for 24 hours. I got this replay playing now, results in 2 mins.

Edit: it's the 8.1.0.2 run. Sad panda.

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

after actually playing the file and seeing what i have to do/improve on i dont think i'll be capable of what i said earlier lmao 50 misses and 30 boos is doable but i dont think i can break 200 goods

welp back to training

btw subin the ending jump section is just jumptrills with jack transition similar to the ending of accross rooftops iirc

proud of this score

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

Why do we call it a megatrill when it's not even a trill...

Re: The Death Piano Thread (And Why You Are Missing Out)

Concave spread is easier to get used to than most people think, I use EFLP.

Dossar can get away with saying almost anything because he has the scores to prove it works, but the fact is, he gets amazing scores in spite of 1.75x linear spread, not because of it. Concave is superior in every single way (and not just for DP) and 1.75 is a pretty bad speedmod for visual PA. Not using either of those things is the only reason my scores are only half-shitty instead of full-shitty.
