Sven's hunt for oni.

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

VS is good if you're good at dense jumpstream, while Makiba and EHHS are more of the standard jump-every-4th kind of deal. Destination of the Heart is fairly dense, but it's a short jumpstream in comparison and is pretty easy aside from it.

Powerpuff Gabberz isn't necessarily fast, and the only real tricky parts are a couple rolls. The only worry you may have is the length.
Rottel is pretty easy once you get past the blasted intro. If you can AAA through the [13][24][13][24][13] section, you're pretty much golden.
You've mentioned to me before that speed is something you're good at. Maybe Strangeprogram? It's awkward, but short and fast.

And because they haven't been suggested (and I have them):
Battle Theme #37 (everyone unlocked Oni on this for a month or so back in 2011)
Epilogue (not necessarily recommended, but it's short and fast)
Black Key Etude (the only tricky part is the minijacks. Everything else is pretty easy to keep up with)




Now that that's posted, go get it on some crazy 74.

i think you're forgetting the jumpgluts at the end

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

I'm not. Considering it's only one glut of [34][23][12]. While annoying, it's not like it's that hard.
And this is coming from someone whose blackflag on it came on said gluts.

Surprised no one mentioned Within Life, lmao.

Within Life has been an oni get for a number of people.

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

Etude to a Nimbus was a vc last time I checked. Anyways, although riot does have some point, I think completely turning off all indicators of PA is a waste of time since if you get a good in the first 10 seconds of the file you'll be playing the rest for no reason. So, if you're gonna go with the no PA indications route then I'd also suggest turning on autofail as well so you don't have that wasted time.

Nahh, you don't even want to turn on autofail because, like I said before, you can't be distracted with the fact that you're AAAing and then you get a good and then FFR suddenly autofails. The real point I'm trying to make here is that you can trick your brain into thinking you're not AAAing and then you go into that mindset of "Oh, I'm not AAAing so this run doesn't even count." I've found you end up AAAing like the rest of the file with relative ease because you don't have the distraction in your mind that you are going to get oni and then you look at your end score and bam. You have Oni. Turning on autofail creates that distraction of "Oh man, I must be AAAing because I haven't failed yet." And that is something we want to avoid. But it's really up to hateandhatred to decide what style they want to use...I'm just giving you my style so that you can see what it's like having nothing on instead of everything on.

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

Tried them all, I was surprised at how damn easy Minute Waltz V2 was, damn that might actually be the one, not mindblockable much imo.

Other than that, Epilogue, Super Mario Bros Theme seem to be the most likely to be oni gets.

But yeah. As far as suggestions, don't really look at the difficulty. I don't care much about it as it's a matter of landing everything. It has more chances of being piano etude (gymnastics) or skeletor than Ambient Angels.

And as far as hiding pa/combo, I really can't. I play downscroll on the legacy engine, and I need them to be over the arrow layout to have any sort of consistency.

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

Double post because shit, I was AAAing Epilogue, was through with all the streams and standalone shut down FML

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

Another person in the hunt for that elusive Oni \o/ If you could almost get it on Epilogue, why not try 0? That one's slower and has less stupid patterns (no random one-handed trills), and I think it might be the easiest jumpstream-like file to get Oni on.

For me personally I expect I'll get it from that, Within Life or Fast Asleep. The problem with Fast Asleep is no longer the two big rainbow bursts, but nerves on the easier stuff that immediately follow them.

One handed trills are far easier than everything else.

Unless there's too much/too many, like in fotbb

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

I am a weird one, so if any of my potential unlocks sound stupid, it's probably because they're not practical for someone actually chasing Oni.

1: Eternal Drain [Heavy] -- song is relatively slow, but forces some semi-dense jumpstream. If you have no issues keeping steady, this one is easy -- just look out for the end!

2: Pure Ruby -- another jumpstream oriented file, but this one is much smoother. Unfortunately, in exchange for the smoothness in the streams, you'll have to contend with much faster jumpstreams. There are a couple of 32nd rolls, but they end with jumps that are on the same hand as the start of the roll, so flow shouldn't be much of an issue. If you can handle being coordinated at faster speeds, there's no major spikes in this file whatsoever.

3: Undiscovered Colors -- if you're good at bursts, this is the way to go. There are really tricky patterns (or so I thought), but for whatever fucking reason, everyone is good at this file. See if you're part of this group.

4: Flamingo - I very much expect people to give me flack for this one. Flamingo is a very spiky file, but the spikes themselves aren't terribly difficult if you're good at hitting jumps/triples without splits, in and out of 16ths. Some of the toughest patterns have implicit one-handed 16th minitrills (song isn't very fast, though), and also lead into and out of 32nds. You have to have your bearings on heavy layering in 8th notes, which can sometimes be difficult when contending with nerves.

5: Perfect Cherry Storm -- if you really can handle jumpstream, Perfect Cherry Storm is incredibly easy to get [Oni] on with a little bit of transition practice. The toughest parts of this file involve 32nd rolls/walls or some sandwiches into and out of 16ths. There is a short [14][23][14] jumptrill that is five notes. The good thing about this file is that you know what to expect; once you get past the 24ths in the beginning, you know that you have to stream and you have to stream very steadily.

Honorable Mention: -- if you're feeling lucky, give Fast Asleep a try. There's only two really difficult bursts in the song, and it's really short overall.

0 has those little mini-jacks buried in it. makes it tough sometimes.

And yeah, fast asleep i lost the AAA twice after the hard bits. one from a kb miss on a jump (GAH), and another one messing up those stupid slow 2 note jacks at the end.

Edit: UC flows so well tho, and doesn't have much one-handed bias iirc, so it's fairly easy to read. excellent file.
Forgot about eternal drain. Very good option, it just took me a bit of isolation practice at the end (the jump jack isn't too hard, it can just catch you off guard) so that I had the confidence/muscle memory to nail it if I was nervous from AAAing up to that point

Re: Sven's hunt for oni.

Try Battle Theme #37 I think it's called that. As long as you have the speed it's a straightforward file. Plus I got oni on it!
