It's been a long while since I felt like this (4 years...?) but I feel like I've hit peak performance again, I've been setting regular 80+ EQ scores the past few days, grinding out average rank like it's nothing and slowly chipping away at the skill rating leaderboard again. It feels pretty good and I'd say I'm a real contender to win my first tournament in the next 2 weeks as well!!!

After 9.5 years of playing I finally hit TOP1000 in all categories on the Leaderboards, for years I've been #1 in most playtime based statistics nationally and TOP100 globally, but with these last few SDG's and AAA's today I've managed to get the bigger stuff down as well. I also got a new #4 score in My Lady Madeline, an SDG I've been hunting for over a year (now at 9.8RG, by the skin of my teeth).

Recently I've been setting more and more top 50 scores again and I hope to maybe hit 81.0 SKILL RATING before the end of the year? Maybe I'll hit an 80+ AAA before hitting 10 years on this site as well, or maybe after, it would be a nice celebration for 10 years?

Anyways cheers to all the people that find FFR incredibly difficult, the first year or so took me ages to get up to even SKILL RATING 30, and after that it was a slow grind up, god knows 75 > 80 took me years, the competition is fierce and the ceiling is high. I've now learned my main enjoyment comes from grinding some more avgrank out and having fun with improving scores generally rather than top scores.

Hey y'all, it's been quite a while since last time. I ended up posting sometimes about my scores sliding back slowly in the rankings due to me not improving or having a lot of playtime. But I've been playing more recently due to OT18 and have broken top 800 once more, I'm back at #790 global and #4 national rank. I'm still not back to level 80+ after all the nerfs from years ago, and even since then my YT titles are outdated because half my top scores received nerfs in the past few years. But I'll keep persevering, I've been setting a lot of top 20 scores lately including some tournament songs.

I hit a 77.XX EQ play again after over a year of not hitting a top 50 score again... Unfortunately my rank has been deteriorating because of better players getting ahead of me, I used to be in the top #750 can you believe it?

Anyways, Welcome to my Kastle is still my top play, I hope to beat it one day! We grind on

After 2 years of hibernation and occasional play I'm proud to announce that I've finally hit another good score improving my ranks again! Long live FFR! #745
