Some baseline scores to start :v

x1.2, idk how good this is, 2nd try.

x1.1, could definitely be better considering i got less than 10cbs the second half.

Definitely aiming to AA soon.

x1.1, also aiming to AA.

x1.1, could probably sdg if I played this more often.

x1.2, pretty easy to combo. Shows how terrible my stamina is atm, combo was lost the moment my stamina ran out lol. Mashed afterwards. Admittedly though I probably cant combo 230 semi-handstream very well.


Image Material x0.9. Was gonna A on my second try but SM crashed lol Ill get a better score in a few days.

yes i play with mines off 24/7 c:

Really hope my arm makes a full recovery lol. If not then this thread is pointless orz
Making my own thread cause I feel bad for taking up space from the glorious SM sticky.
Wish me luck!! >:3
Ill be updating with new scores periodically~~

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

lily clock is fast wow

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Had a pretty good session today =w=

Long overdue scores:

Should improve a lot once my stamina recovers.

Will try to AA x1.1 someday....

Finally :> will improve with better stamina.

had less than 10cbs before the handstream :(


Other scores:

lots of cbs on easy parts :/

<3 this song/chart, will try to fc soon.

finally x1.1 AA.

x0.9, wonder how long it will take me to AA this.

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Bad idea starting at 11:30PM, got sleepy before I could really warm up uwu

x1.2, chocked really badly at the end, but I had too good of a score going to not AA =w=

x1.2 pretty casual AA, less cbs but more greats than 3 wks ago (62-9-2-13). I'm definitely capable of wrecking 1.2 on a good run.

x1.2 that 1-handed trill in the middle surprised me, otherwise fc.

x1.2, sdg. Messed up at the beginning, can definitely fc :>


x1.1, aiming to AA soon.

x1.1, also aiming to AA soon once stamina comes back.


1AM now... time passes by so quickly ｡：ﾟ(｡ﾉω＼｡)ﾟ･｡
yoshL go awayyyyy im trying hard here D;

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

"d4"

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

im totally glad to see you are able to do scarhand on 1.2x congrats and keep it up ! :)

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

wait, lily clock 1.2x 21cb the other day then icys scarhand 1.2 aa?

nice improvement.

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

im surprised you aa'd fots no problem but couldnt do M-A..... u should play M-A again more warmed up or something

i havent played most of these files but paraclete 1.2 rate aa seems really solid bro

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Thanks for the support guys <3
Yea that fots was from like 2 weeks ago before I injured my left arm again. Couldn't play much afterwards and so my stamina really dropped. I can reach 1k+ combo pretty easily, so I should be able to AA soon ;3
Hmmm scarhand x1.2 is only 216bpm no? I can AA it on command xd
FC is a bit hard though, might be doable with stamina.

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Very nice Scores Elspectra :3
I'm glad you improve your skills ^^

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

I really enjoy seeing threads like these. It makes me want to work on my entire skillset as well. Keep up the good work Candor. You're going to get some nice skillboost if you keep pushing yourself.

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Short session today cause I have a lot of homework and I'm really stressed, which makes me slow and inconsistent 。ﾟ(ﾟﾉД｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

x1.1, not really satisfied with this score though had a lot of unnecessary cbrushes, will improve later.


x1.1, not too satisfied either, will improve when I get the chance.


First AA :>

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Not playing for 2 days won't make you skill drop. Just cool off, chill, and then hop right back into it.

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Tried 3 times but still cant A this at x0.8 :(
I feel like I'm getting close though, since I'm only struggling from the second burst onward.
*Third run, should have been an A if I did this well at the beginning on my first/second runs. I was too worn out by the second burst D;
Granted, after this my scoring session was pretty much over TwT
Almost AAed The Hypocrisy afterwards, but that's about it.


Last two songs after a 7 hour session lol, were #1 records for some reason :>
Both on x1.0. Nothing special but pretty interesting given how tired I was hue hue =w=

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Nice those scores on SMO :3 You are closer to my scores
Shanghai Moon 0.8 looks good but there should be less GA on this rate but CB count is better and MA too :D
There is my score from 3 months on 1.0x

I hope you can get better stamina :D

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

^ waaaaaa ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡

Kinda slow after my 7 hr session yesterday :<

First warmup song~~ 1 cb rush killed my combo ;w;
Mahou suggested I AA this x1.2, will try that soon :v


Haven't played this one in a while but it looks like I can AA it now pretty easily :>


Hmmm pretty casual, first AA


Hoping for better session tomorrow =ww=

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

You should probably tone down on the 7 hour sessions, 3-4 hours is probably optimal for you

Also good stuff, particularly liked most of the jumpstream stamina stuff you've posted

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Couldn't get any decent scores since today cause that 7 hr session kinda injured my left hand... again ;___;
For the first time in months my left arm isn't hurting as much!!! x3
My hand still hurts though Dx

Wanted it for a while hue hue hue =w=


This one would be much easier to AA if I wasn't so bad with rolls orz


Took a few tries, pretty satisfied with this score... for now =w=


Overdue scores:
c:

Not a big fan of this chart, probably wouldn't play again till I can wreck x1.1 :>


Stamina gets wrecked, but I can read it pretty well now. Will definitely AA soon~

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

awesome stamina scores dude
you should really stop overdoing your sessions like this lol

Re: [Elspectra] SM Progress Thread
 

Nice Sigatrev score, also looking forward to seeing that Future Dominators AA. :3

I've personally considered optimal playtime per day/week as something that depends more on free time and willpower/motivation rather than actual physical limits: therefore it all comes down to what you believe you can do on a consistent schedule, e.g. on my end I personally prefer playing every other day for 1-2 hours depending on my performance. Needless to say, those very lengthy sessions of yours are sure to warrant a very noticeable skillboost in no time! Just as long as the pain doesn't end up worsening over the days. :s In that case, taking a break for a day or two should be perfectly fine.
