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.

#5


#4


#3


#2


#1

#5 - Superluminal AAA
Ah, the score that started all the BS calls, good times, good times.



#4 - Quadraphinix 1.3 AA

Considering I'm not that good at handstream compared to jumpstream, this score surprised the hell out of me. Really happy with this one so I decided it should be in the top 5.



#3 - She is My Sin AA

I think this was my second time playing the file, all I remembered was that it was a hard file to AA and that not many people AA'd it so I went for it and I surprised myself.



#2 - Petit Prelude Theme 20p AAA

Getting this amount of perfects alone on this file is hard enough to do, a AAA run just makes this score really good. The rolls and awkward patterns and BPM changes make this file really trick to MA. Considering my previous WR was 30p AAA, improving by a third of my perfects was crazy enough.



#1 - We Luv Lama 1.2 - AA

This is probably my best spread score to date in my opinion. This song is so dense near the end especially for how fast it's going on 1.2. I had trouble AA'ing this on 1.1 about 3 weeks before I AA'd it on 1.2.



Once I get Blue Planet AA, Apoc Disco AA, and other scores, this list will definitely be different next year.



May as well add my best index scores.

#5 - Denjin K Megamix - DDP FC.

Ridiculous score for a sightread, glad I don't have to play that file again, unless I decided to improve it.



#4 - Gaussian Mist 1.2 AA

MA on this is insane for 320 streams.



#3 - Disregard SDCB

Really good MA, SDCB, nothing more to say.



#2 - Whazashmup (21) 1.3 Pass

Took about eight tries but it was worth it. 48 measure run of 312 candles.



#1 - Call of the Hound 1.3 Pass

Easily the hardest thing I've passed, this hurt so much.

1. quadding Back to the Gate [SM]

I mean, fuck this came completely out of nowhere for me and is probably by far the biggest achievement I've done on SM; a definite marking point for me in skill at this game as some more recent scores have shown. I'm not sure if I can top this for quite a while.


2. First 99 on a 13 (Yuuyake ~Fading Day~) [ITG]

People might argue it's a 12 but I think it pushes the 13 border. But yeah definitely proud to have accuracy all the way up to 13s now on ITG.

(can't find screenshot sowwiez)

3. passing scales of struggle (19) [SM]

I was such garbage at footspeed stuff so passing this was pretty awesome for me. I've slowly started getting better at footspeed as a result.



4. Passing Scarlet Eyes DX [ITG]

doubles chart always intimidated me for a while so passing it recently felt pretty nice knowing that I actually was fairly competent at doubles now.



5. 2 excellents on Out Here [SM]

Honestly out of all my FA scores I've never been able to get a score as good as this in... quite a while. Another turning point for me in trying to get insane scores on some really technical shits lol

1. [FFR] Eclipse (Solar) 9-0-1-0.
Haven't been able to replicate the long stream since.
2. [FFR] Stinger 11-1-0-1.
Marked the start of me being able to somewhat do files in the 87-90 range. Still my highest fc (difficulty wise).
P.S. The average and boo were from my kb double tapping.

3. [SM] St. Scarhand 1.1 AA.
Not as good as my 4 cb TALM score that I got shortly before, but it means a lot more to me since I've been trying to get this for years.


4. [SM - Index] Stay In Your Room With K. AA.
I'm obviously not as good as a lot of people on index, but this was nice for me considering I'm bad at pretty much every 18 in existence.


5. [FFR] Return to Fire 3-0-4-0 Index/Pinky spread.
Picked up this style for shits and giggles earlier in the year and initially struggled. Hard to believe that Scarhand [Heavy] is possible to unlock on a style like this.

My best accuracy score

2nd hardest thing i've done stamina wise

my reaction

pretty much 24 minutes of 296 16ths and 24 minutes of pendulum at 1.7 times the speed

My first WR :-D
