Unfortunately didn't have the time to get all the derustathon rewards, but that's fine.

My bracket (5) seems very diverse in skill I'd say.

I will note that I am sightreading every chart (that is, no looking at preview streams for my bracket)

Round 1: Avallonis (1419-149-0-0-0-0) (Sightread: 1-0-0-0)
Very nice warmup :) I forgot exactly where I got a good on my sightread but it was easy to run it back once I knew what to expect. Would've been funny to get it first try though.

Round 2: Rite On Time (1267-165-0-0-0-0) (Sightread: 3-0-0-3)
Unfortunate sightread but it's whatever. Nabbed it back quick enough. :)

Round 3: Metamorphose (i forgot the marv count but i AAA'd) (Sightread: 1-0-2-2)
Insanely mindblockable. Those hands kicked my ass at first and it took me a long while to be able to nail them. Not an easy AAA.

Round 4: Touk Touk (2235-271-0-0-0-1) (Sightread: 5-1-5-6)
This is where my weaknesses start, long files with plenty of stamina intensive sections. My sightread this time around was also without any warmup, so it's worse than usual.
More to come when the round ends or I AAA it (very doable!) Didn't have the time to get in the mood to play again to AAA it. It's AAA'd in spirit.
Note 275 or something is where I've mindblocked and I feel like I have to take a longer break from the game to reassess my capabilities for next round. Somewhat disappointed with this, but boos are fake and not real.

Round 5: Gaviscon (4-0-3-4) (Sightread: 11-2-2-11)
As soon as I saw Ruby My Dear being the artist for this round again I got spooked. Song is quite pleasant though, with *really* comfy streams in the intro where I can MA to heal my mental fortitude onto the rest of the file. More to come if I AAA or round end. Didn't have enough time to submit more scores.

Round 6: endleSSStation (Frums Shuuden Bootleg) (113-9-19-17) (Sightread: does it matter? lol)
Absolutely horrific ending to the tournament. The file picked was nearing pushing territory for me and I can't really do anything else in this game other than MA. The engine is also really really sucky to push on given boos are a thing and the feedback just isn't the same as Etterna's. Doesn't help that I wasn't in perfect shape when attempting this at the last day of the round... But overall I don't think I would've gotten a winning score anyway, file targets all my weak points :P

Final Placement: 5th

It's still better than I thought I'd do! Getting Top 8 was a win already, and the tourney itself was a lot of fun. Don't know if I'll participate next year but I'm glad I participated in at least one OT. :)

I haven't been keeping track of this anywhere until now because I was just doing whatever felt easy, but now it seems only the hard stuff's left for me.

There are a lot of tokens that I'm unfortunately gatekept from obtaining due to purchasable/secret songs but we'll get there at some point. Those would be:

Secret:

#176 - The Ever Increasing Death Toll of Birds In My Life, #190 - Pizza Time Done. Thanks, Black_Shield!

Purchasable (so, I can only really go for these once I get 100k credits for Pizza Time):

#31 - party 4u "holy nite mix" v3, #35 - EternuS, #56 - {Sunlight}, #94 - Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia Mov.3, #100 - Token Whore, #107 - party 4u "holy nite mix", #113 - Rudi the Techno Pioneer, #127 - The earth blew up v2, #160 - Parousia-LAST JUDGEMENT-

Token Whore takes a while longer cause I didn't have 250 songs FC'd :)

And these are the ones I could obtain right now:

#58 - Luna Marionette Not quite as exciting as OMGWTFT0k3N, but this was long overdue.
#74 - MaxX AttaxX I've retried this way too often, marathons are no joke.
#114 - Piano Etude (Demon Fire) [Oni] Easy solve, just missed ~100 notes in to make it easier
#126 - Kirlian Shores I misread the token conditions at first, was trying to get this with all perfs o_O
#128 - White Walls [Part 2] Reeeeeally wanted this to be a AAA but here we are. I'd probably get nervous over sightreading the second half though
#136 - Extratone in a Perfect World Tried to force myself to get a clean score on this but it doesn't matter.
#139 - CirnoRHTL
#140 - OWA Raged at Home Run Derby
#141 - /a/
#145 - Highway Highway DESTINY 0 is a valid number :)
#148 - Dreamin' attraction!! (Extended) I'm eager to attribute this token to my new keyboard making jacks easier to hit but it's not just that. I got better at the game to read those ending jacks better. They are very rude.
#174 - Japan Style Breakcore - 2
#179 - Nisemono [Full Version] Hell yeah. No surprises here.
#194 - Shit Palette 2.0

Some of these are really tough! I doubt I'll get some of the harder ones in that list any time soon, but until then I could go for AAA/tier points completion to unlock some more secret songs.
From now, I'll cross out the tokens in the above lists once I get them. Maybe providing a comment on them too x)

Hello, I'm Dash-! Coming from the realms of Etterna, I've decided to dive into FFR, only recently noticing how big and blooming the community is despite the *huge* lifespan this game has.
I play exclusively spread, and I've dipped my toes in some 6key as well. As of now, just gonna say that I'm happy that I've joined.

You might be wondering why this wasn't posted as a welcome thread...
Truth is, I'm scared of posting in forums... And it's not like I don't feel any less welcome :)
