    Arch0wl's dexterity gym

    figured I'd make a thread for this to keep me motivated.

    some of my goals are, in order of difficulty:

    * passing St. Scarhand one handed (B 8 9 0 setup, see this vid)

    * getting a good score on Mei another kb7 (80% or above)

    * passing Air solo

    * getting a score like A or AA on Air solo

    * AA'ing Quasar 1.5x rate one handed

    * passing Quasar 1.5x double handed

    * AA'ing Quasar 1.5x rate double handed (that is, pasting the regular quasar to another set of 4 arrows on 8 keys so you're playing regular quasar one-handed on the right hand and one-handed on the left hand; it's a huge dump of chordstream and 2x the NPS)

    (I think if I achieve the last one, there really isn't anything left to do in music games. I'm done.)

    all of these require a ton of dexterity and regular play so I thought I'd use this thread for progress

    I've always considered playing with that 1 handed setup, looks pretty cool

      this is 0.7x, B890 setup.

      obviously a far cry from 1.0x, but it's progress.

        if you beat my score on air solo I will buy you a game on steam (up to $50)

        this is not a jok (my score is 13 cbs)

        alternatively beat my kyuin score

          I can't even beat air solo yet so 13 cbs is a long way away

          right now my 16th speed on my right hand is ~190-210bpm messy and ~150-160bpm clean. I need to get that to about 200 clean (since left hand will always lag by ~20bpm) to even attempt an A or AA on air and that's gonna take a lot of practice.

            oh lol

            well if you do end up beating that score by the end of da year, my offer still stands
            have you tried playing semi-pettanko while holding your index fingers down?

              I have not heard of "playing pettanko", do you have a description of this on hand?

                          I could probably pass quasar double handed with a solid months practice

                            assuming you meant quasar 1.5x double handed, that would be incredible.

                            quasar double handed wouldn't be *that* hard.

                            quasar 1.5 double handed though... that's approaching freedom dive tier.

                              I very well may be underestimating how difficult it may be to simultaneously use my hands even if the arrows are the same for both. In my prime I could use my less dexterous hand (left) fairly well. My stamina is practically non-existent at this point in stepmania terms I give out so easily now it's pretty sad and hard to believe I ever had as much stamina as I did. It might take me longer and I would have to be very dedicated. I'm pretty sure I aaa'd quasar one handed 1.5x back in the day.
