ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

I remember when things used to be simpler for me, when it always seemed like I was the one leading the pack, making the pace for others to follow. Time was always on my side too, helping me hold down the competition when my scores were more achievable. Now though it looks like time has betrayed me, closing off the gates to fresh air on the surface. It’s so hard to swim with these sandbags tied to my body, too hard. I can’t fight the weight any longer, it’s so tiring. Maybe if I just close my eyes, take a deep breath, and fall asleep, things will be better. The stinging in my eyes will fade, the disappointment will fade, everything will fade.

Suddenly a gate at the bottom begins to open, draining the waters in the room. Is this a hallucination, am I beginning to lose my mind? Regardless of what I thought though it felt real, and I’ve never been so happy to be gasping for air in my entire life. Two people come running towards me sounding rather concerned, my eyes are too blurry to make out anything about them as they approach. One of them finally speaks, “I think he’s alright, we came just in time then.”
“There was a grave error with placements”, the other person nervously cleared their throat, “You’ve been one division too high this entire time!” This was news to me, news I certainly wasn’t going to contest at this point. The first person finally speaks to me, “We know the first couple of rounds are a bit pointless for someone of your skill, so we’ll have you play catch up from qualifying for the quarter finals and up.” They remove the bags from my feet, hand them to me, and then toss a warm towel over my back to stop my ever growing shivers. I don’t know why it took them this long to correct their mistake, all I know is I am going to make sure this time, I end up on top.

ok either im just really tired or the objective is really confusing. i do what now?

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

suddenly I don't know why i'm here :|

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

Like this? :3

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

D5 probably has the easiest easy that was easy easy.

Also is this just easy or am I missing something.

Also I'd lose in D3, which is hilarious.

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

Wow so D4

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

Oh, if i have to play the D5 Songs im not even going to bother. Cant do any of those 3, cant fc let alone beat those scores heh

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

;D
That all depends on which divisions have been slacking :D! I'd like to give anyone who missed out on a token a chance to grab one now.

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

Fairly confident these will successfully sandbag me into the D4 finals.
I can improve them if needed.

btw Run Run Run is basically Goblin x0.9 rate rofl the files are so similar feeling

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

How is "D0" determined?

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

This file infuriates me. fuck these patterns


ps sick lag FFR

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

A sophisticated algorithm that involves serious mathematical skills.

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

Huh, perhaps I'm just confused, but I'd think the better way to determine a sandbagger is to get a passing score on the song of the division above you.

ie; D5 must blackflag Cold Heart, D4 must get 5-2-0-1 or better on Accelerator, etc;

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

Amidoingitright

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

so.......................bonus prizes for ~semifinalists and up then

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

I'm only posting this replay because it's stupid

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

LOL D0

And @rayword45 the purpose here is not to "determine the sandbaggers" but to "relieve the people who have been having to compete with all the sandbaggers" xD

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

This good for R6 D3? The spreadsheet and the post say different scores, but I believe this beats 9-1-0-1.

Re: ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!
 

The raw score is posted in the OP, so yes, you did better. Woo!







I wouldn't be surprised if D3 does better this round. I also expect AAA's from the top three in D4. Don't let me down, you three.
