Your top 5 accomplishments 2013? (FFR/SM/ITG/DDR/osu!)

5. Hatebreeder [Oni] AA
I got this pretty early in the year (April), but it's my only AA on it and this has been a file that I've played for practice for quite a while a year or so back. The fact that the score is rather clean makes it better, too.


4. Gate Openerz 1.2x 11 CBs
My first AA on this was in June or so, with around 30 CBs. I haven't AA'd this since, until the end of the year. I really didn't expect to get this score, I'd be happy with just high teens CBs. 11 CBs is really solid, the MA/PA makes the score definitely puts it in the top 5 for me.


3. Gigadelic 1.2x AA
One of my favourite scores, Gigadelic has been nothing but hell for me until towards the second half of the year, when the file started to make a lot more sense than it used to. I initially tried to get a SDG/SDCB/near DDP score on 1.1, which never happened. I did all of them on separate runs, but it's too much hassle to really get the perfect run on 1.1. I played 1.2 instead, it was pretty frustrating to pull off, I was stuck at 88%-89% for the longest time because I kept running out of stamina towards the end. Managed to get this after some time, was pretty happy.



2. RATO 22-2-3-12 (FFR)
I've been trying to break into the 30s on this for a very long time... I've probably put 1,500 tries (including restarts) onto RATO, my good count on RATO progressively went down from low 100s, to 90s, to 70s, to 50s, to 40s... then I got this. Although I did a couple of mistakes in that run, it's still a feat for me since it's a file that I've been trying to get good PA on for time longer than I'm actually proud of boasting.



1. We Luv Lama [Oni] 1.2x AA
I've trying to get this for 2 years.. I've been stuck at 75%-85% for so long. When I got this AA it was probably the happiest I've ever been in a Stepmania session. This is more of a milestone of how far I've come in terms of stamina/speed more than anything, but I don't think I have any other score that I'm more proud of than this.


I see my achievements not just as 'AAing hard shit' but kinda like a self-affirmation and reward for my hard work.. all the times I've CB rushed Corporal Jigsaw Quandary 1.2 and Gravity Blast 1.3... all paid off now.

Gate Openerz 1.1x AA. this is my more recent one but I was happy to do it. 1.2 in 2014?

LHC AA. Took no effort, but I didn't know what to expect other then not a AA.

Unorthodox Red FC. Really wanted the FC.

Wish I Had Angel A. This is maybe replaceable hehe, will if I can think of something better.

Lets FIghting Love A. I gave up attempting to AA it but I heard it didn't have many.

5. Visitor - 4 Perfect AAA
I feel that hardly anyone will understand how insane of a perfect count this is for a chart like Patashu's Visitor. It may look easy if you're just looking at the chart, but when you're playing it yourself, it is MUCH more intimidating than you would expect. It's completely relentless throughout with jumpstream, minijacks, solos, a few bursts to throw you off, etc. This chart requires really good consistency to even get an SDP.


4. Psicicite - 11 Perfect AAA
This chart is insanely hard to be accurate on due to the amount of bursts. Just like Visitor, this is relentless throughout, but with many 32nd minibursts and a lot of holds. An SDP has always been a goal for me but I could never seem to achieve this, no matter how much I persisted.


3. ==Planet KARMA== - 10 Perfect AAA
A notorious chart within the community, so it should be self-explanatory of what it's like. This requires a lot of consistency and great timing with color notes.


2. 1hr 54min JS Challenge - 78984/955/30/5/1/10
This was the first time and the only time I played this chart, never again. It probably shouldn't be considered an accomplishment since I basically wasted almost 2 hours playing something incredibly stupid. But anyway, sub-1000 perfects and 30 greats is pretty insane for something like this. At the time that I achieved this score, I had a problem with screenshots as Stepmania 5 did not want to actually save them, leaving me with a blank folder. Luckily, I got this on an old SMO server.


1. The Medley of Pokemon - 42 Perfects + 1 Good
...let me tell you how ball-breaking it was at where I got the good. The very fucking ending. Well, rather the last (50th) part of the huge medley. Just an absolute letdown and makes me want to go back to attempt to AAA this again. Anyway, this chart clocks in at 26 minutes and 28 seconds (here it is for reference) and the only part worth mentioning is 18:52 which is 240 BPM 16th jumpstream, it can do a number on your accuracy if you're not careful. The whole chart is incredibly nerve-wracking to even achieve this kind of accuracy. Props to leonid for charting this song, it's absolutely perfect for something that's 26~ minutes long.

FFR: Extratone Pirates (Drunk Optimus Remix) AAA

One of my first (and currently only) FSO AAAs on FFR right now. This was an unexpected run for me. File plays into all of my strengths, making this feel like a high FGO instead. Had I not gotten that AAA, I probably would've been doomed with a blackflag.



FFR: Playing Super Mario World While Taking Mushrooms AAA

This was also an unexpected AAA, considering that there's 2 areas I generally screw up on (the awful glut transition at around ~1100 and the ending). The ending is easy to AAA for me, but it's super nerve-wrecking after nailing that first awful transition.



FFR: Revolutionary Etude missflag

This was pretty painful to look at. I got it at a reasonable spot where I would usually lose control completely. This was a random run, too. I have no courage to even fix this score at all because the run was a complete fluke and I don't think I'll be able to pull it off again.



FFR: Rave 7 blackflag

Guess where I got the blackflag. That's right. At the beginning of the file. Did you expect it to be at the end? I usually stuff up at around 1000-1300. Also painful to watch. Like Revolutionary Etude, I have no will to fix this.



SM: Mei SDP

Self-explanatory. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to AAAA any file at all since I still a have a habit of getting dumb perfect at the most random spots.
