Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I know this score means absolutely nothing except to the like 2 people I have showed this file to but I'm still proud of it lol



D2 has the best finals chart hands down. I can't stop playing it, sooooooo much fun.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

That's the best I could get atm.
My hands are burning from the D2 song.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

That is quite nice MA from a D2 D3A player

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Phalanx seems like a really dickish FMO as opposed to an FGO

As dense and long as the jump(hand)stream may be, it's only 160 bpm. Makiba's around the same speed and many were arguing it's more fitting as a VC. Far less dense, I know, but the increased density in Phalanx doesn't really warrant that FGO push imo.

/$0.02

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

You placed me in D2A. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I put it as FGO for the same reason Time to Eye is a "FGO"
In theory the rolls are mid-FGO material, in practice people just jumptrill them and hope for the best.

Ya I did.
Won't be doing that again huehuehue

No I'm just joking. Skillboosts happen and you get to reap the rewards of said skillboost until the end of this tournament.
Don't get complacent though!

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

lmfao oh right, the TtE argument hahaha

ok fair enough I guess , carry on carry on~

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Yeah the TtE argument haha
It's a borderline FMO/FGO and I always rate high on borderline files. Less whining about it that way. Subjective manias are subjective and all that.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

First try:



Second try:



I don't think I'll be able to improve this much. :\

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I just addressed this in a PM and figured I'd post it in the thread as well:

As for the difficulty jump in D2, Lacrimosa wound up being harder than I expected.
I wanted to go difficulties of 9, 10, 11 in D2 but yeah the 10 sort of got skipped. Next round is a very low 11 as well, then a high 10, then a mid 11 for the D2 finals.
At least that's how it is shaping up so far.

I've learned that difficulties for D1 and D2 files are really hard for me to judge so sometimes I wind up going way too high or low.
It's one of the things I need to improve on should I ever do another tournament.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

You absurdly good mother ****ers. I was gonna post a place holder of my sightread serious play but these seriously diminished my hopes.

PS: I expected this to be dumpy. I did not expect them to reek of such filth. You must have taken a lesson from NVLM or Dossar cause this is seriously disgusting to look at.

And the sad thing is, I'll still be wasting my time playing it.

This probably comes off meaner than I intend it, but seriously? This is a borderline 13 and we're only D4. Cut us some slack.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Improvement again. I'm getting really close to sub 100 goods on this.


Best I've got for now. I need to figure out how to nail those bursts into the hand jacks, that parts extremely hard.

I'll go try d4s file now, hope I don't die >.<

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Slighty better...

On a side note, I FC World Tour 2004 today with 59 goods which gave me 2/5 tier points on that song. That's my first song with 2 tier points, I'm very happy about that and I wasn't expecting to make that score tonight.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Phalanx is a borderline 11...

It's only 160 bpm, that's slower than most FMO JS files, the only FGO worthy parts are really the rolls and the 32nd stream bursts.

As for the chart itself, Carlos brought up that the handstream patterns could have flowed better, which is honestly true.
They're not terrible, but they do have some long hidden 8th jacks that I should have broken up better.
The layering scheme is consistent and pretty easy to understand- jumps to the melody, hands to the loud drums, stream to the hi-hats.
The 48ths are in fact correctly synced and the framers are literally perfect for jumptrilling. The first 48th roll has a somewhat difficult ending transition but that was done purposefully (it fits the music).
I can't really think of anything else you'd complain about... it's not a masterpiece file sure, but I don't think it's quite as bad as you are making it out to be :p

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

psst psst (now you know how I feel about people constantly bitching on my files)

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

So right now I am having a ton of trouble getting a good file for D3 next round.
I've gone through three options so far and none of them are to my tastes.
First one was too similar to the finals chart so I decided not to use it.
Second one felt weird the way I layered it but I couldn't come up with anything else, so I scrapped it.
Third one I just trashed because it was too easy, a mid 10 wouldn't cut it for D3 this late in the tournament.

JUST LETTING YOU GUYS KNOW I SUFFER FOR MY ART
D:

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

you suffer






































but why?

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Because I love you guys :')

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

d'awwww :')

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

You had your glory when you were crushing us in rounds 1, 2, and 3. This is the point where the tables turn it seems. :twisted:

Anyways, how many goods do I need to beat Zak by in order to counter all my ****ing misses? 40 didn't cut it, looks like 68 does the trick though:

sup Zak :cool:

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

A quick teaser for an upcoming round 5 file.


p.s. this isn't D5! :twisted:

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Still can't beat this score.... I'm mindblocked as hell. I'll try some more later in the day and see what happens.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Phalanx looks crazy hard by the scores from everyone.
You'll be expecting scores from me tomorrow. c:

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

260bpm
distorted waveform















fast section of a jcore or breakcore song
i know it

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

btw, this IS the D5 file. Only 180 bpm the whole way through.


Confused yet? :3

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

180bpm





















48th bursts 64th bursts
32nd streamz o

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Knowing Op he PAs pretty well I don't expect anything good tbh... giving the files a shot later. Gonna improve Starlight Reverie too.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

in b4 alloyus AAAs d5 file

(not rly, but i know you can do it!!)

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Not exactly happy with this score, I could maybe improve if I had more time, but the overall accuracy I got on this run is pretty good so meh.

EDIT: fist try on the round 4 song. I know I can do much better, it's just that i get overwhelmed by my nerves when jacking. if I just stay calm I should be able to hit dem jacks :>

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Hm, I still haven't been able to beat my second try's score on this song, lol...

Also, no way this file is a 9, it's definitely a VC. Not that it matters :)

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

may as well post this one...

and something seems off w/ the new song. anyone know what i mean?
and lol, I can tell we're into the FMO :P

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Alright first off I don't really like the file at all, too many jacks (So many bootraps and so many places to mind block on) and the patterns are... hot damn son

Second this is definitely improvable, I need to stop missing because of mind blocks.

Posting Starlight Reverie later.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I agree with most of what Middie said, it isn't a borderline 13 though, but I still find it mid-FGO material, the handstream and [124]3[124]3 trills are just absurd for people who can't even AAA a single FMO in the entire ****ing game. I have better PA on a ton of FGO's compared to this shit. Go take a look at my level ranks to verify. I like most of your files hi19 but.... **** man give us a break ;_;

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Middie there is no way Phalanx should even be considered to be a 13. It's a 12, the only hard parts are the hands. The jumpstream isn't that hard.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

This is what happens when I fall asleep in files -_-

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

"reverie" means daydreaming, so I'm not surprised in the least

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

bmah lmfao hahahahaha

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

come d4 players are you guys seriously letting be rape you with my sightread lmao

seeing how much better my sightread is makes me want to improve and take the win

ps phalanx isnt even very hard <___>

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

lol @ middie saying this is borderline 13


improved once again

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Here is my best score for round 4 so far.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Here is an improvement.
Thanks to Majorly Whoring this beast!
Must of played it around 300 times!
I also used the adrenaline rush to my advantage.
Still a great and fun file! Thanks hi19 and qqwref!
Also this seems more like a high 10, because I am usually not good at
anything 11 or above.
But maybe it is just because this one flows a lot better than avalon.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Sorry I missed the second round :<

Dumb miss though ;_;

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

It's not the actual chart it's self that's bad it's which division you gave it to.

This is pretty much what I meant minus the fgo pa. With D4 the FGO charts have to be reasonable to the division. This chart certainly doesn't fit that bill.

Maybe I did jump to to rash a conclusion as to the number difficulty. But for ANYONE who is bad at jumpstream (myself mind you) you can see why I jumped the way I did. And yes that jumpstream is hard. The one last round was hard as well. Even for someone like me with a good deal of speed.

There was no glory in winning the early rounds. They're the easier rounds so to be honest we all should have had the same score. I was just happy to be doing so well it was giving me some good confidence.

Last round killed it.

This round T-Bagged it.

I will say Zak's last minute score posting surprised me.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

MINOR improvement... Damn, this is a tough file. I would argue D2's file is actually easier.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Hey psst, middie!

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Improved slightly more. And got it on video. Probably done. Missed 3rdish to last note. Pissed.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

So I watch sticklydude's video of Phalanx and think to myself, "This doesn't looks so bad." I play it once and my arms are already dead.. how the **** does anyone have the stamina to do the ending >.>

edit: Kk **** it for now.. arms too tired.

EDIT: I CAN'T ****ING STOP PLAYING.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Haha, Middie, I found your score. Wow. I'm sure you can get under 300 goods, just work on endurance or something. Sorry that the rounds are slightly harder than you anticipated, but honestly you shouldn't expect to just cruise through and wreck everyone forever. Maybe this is a song you're bad at - so what? If you've got enough skill to expect to do well in your division, you can still win plenty from individual rounds and tournament points, and even cumulative points if there are other hard songs you can do well on. Man up and try your best.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

The only way for me to improve this score will have tons of boos, a lot more than this run, so I think I'm done this round. I like files that are hard because of bursts and stream, not huge clumps of hands :)

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I can't break 60 goods anymore. No matter how far I AAA into the song, I still end it with 60 goods. Wtf

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I can change this to a VC. The fact I simply *cannot* AAA it should be a hint (it reminds me of Teh Tricky Techno in that regard)

I just wanted the top of D1 to stop fuccen SDGing the songs for once, mission accomplished.

Your next round's song is definitely easier.
In fact this round is on par with your finals- such is how it goes.

Also Middie stop complaining the whole point is that the files are generally what would be given to a division above you in a traditional tournament. I said that the files would start at the difficulty of a the last rounds of a DF tournament and progress to the level of the Dossar Brutality Tournament's first rounds, and I'm basically sticking to that pretty well.
You can still read the file so it's obviously not too hard.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

must sdp starlight reverie..

had quad til 1500 once. >;[

also, d5 bursts are blehghhghh
i can sdg consistently but its blegh to get below 5 goods atm

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Also I asked qqwref to move Freefall to a 10. I can totally understand the argument that it's a VC.
Like I said, it's actually pretty close in difficulty to the D1 finals so it's definitely quite the difficulty bump up from Sensorium heh
Glad to see you guys taking it in stride though.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

nice one

I cannot jack for shit. Why do files have to be so jacky these days....

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

also

shoutouts to hi19's 20th century flute edition
it's gaining momentum as a speed file in the sm community

DISREGARD V2???

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

That might explain why I tend to do better at the beginning of the handstream until it transitions into...that other style of handstream. I tend to e terrible at JS with long hidden 8th jacks (hence why I have a better score on defection than on nyanyanyanya lmfao)

I'm still (and finally) beating Zak and Middie this round, so that's all that matters at the moment.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Well, because it's my tournament and I'm kind of known for liking my jack files.

What can I say, I find the pattern fun :3

Yeah basically this. Cool to hear people are liking it.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Jacks be too tough. I just can't seem to get 'em down.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

What the hell did I just play? What why do I feel like playing it again?! :twisted:

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

stop missing so much omg

it hurts me on the inside T_T

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I like jacks, so that part of this round is really fun!

P.S - D2B, please stop being better at this game than me -_-

Steadily improving...



I demand a bonus if I manage to clean SDG this... ;)

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

skljfd YES omgneverplayingthisagain


no idea how I did that, I guess my jack practice is paying off

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Ninty, fix your keyboard D:

I guess this counts as a placeholder. I think I can do better.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

This coming from the guy who nearly AAA'd the legend of zelda? I barely lucked into my 3 goods, there's no way I'm coming close to that one >.<

But yeah, jacks and trills are what I'm good at on ffr. If we run into a JS song next (as evidenced by my artica score) I'm going to have an extremely difficult time.

To be honest I'm worried you're gonna take my freedom dive from me, don't get better at jacks kay? :3

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

little time to do the song this week (about 30mins in total) and I suck at that pattern

http://imgur.com/McAFL

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

I can't even get under 50 goods (and like 10 misses) on Speed This yet.... And Starlight Reverie still sucks ass. I'm mindblocked.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Please teach me how you're doing this :-D

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

;_;

bballa is like ~Jackmaster Supreme~ compared to me. Look at my AIM and Club scores for further proof.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

*takes a look at D3 file*

yeah, I'm glad I'm in D4 now xD

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

God just hates me. I was doing so well for most of this song, and then guess what score I get?? The exact same thing as above except with 2 misses. FML.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Yeah I'm mindblocked like crazy on that one as well. It didn't help me much, but you can try mirroring it, the patterns got too awkward for me like that but you're probably better at JS then I am. You can also try upping the speed modifier a little, I do that sometimes when I'm really mindblocked so I'll stop thinking about the mindblocks so much
Haha I knew you'd say that. You still have to do Big Blue though :P

I'm pretty sure I'm actually in the category of unable to read the file at this point, I'm basically mashing the entire handstream. Oh well, going to have to crack down on icy's JS files again and see if I can at least turn it into educated mashing or something lol.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

It's weird, I used to AAA the beginning all the time, but now that's what is giving me the most trouble. I rarely get past it without racking up a couple goods, or boos, or whatever. Mirror is harder for me honestly, but it did help a little when I switched back. Speed mod, I'm already using 1.85, it's hard for me to read much faster than that. I might try 1.9 and see.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

Wow, I pooped out a lucky score. Dunno if I'll be able to sup this.

Re: hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament
 

the misses omfg Ninty xD
When I try to understand your scores I think:
"Oh yeah PA'ing everything with decent amount of goods when suddenly, HARD PART!!! *Lifts hands and wait for it to end* start PA'ing again." xD
