Re: Someone else nobody knows posts his scores...

Why're you AAing Boss Machine but only Aing Delirium? It's, what, 3 BPM faster?

Re: Someone else nobody knows posts his scores...

I don't know? Delirium score was my first try. I did Boss Machine a few times. And like I said, I could have definitely kept my combo in a lot of places.

Edit: lol, speedcore dandy

nice job man, just keep at it and you'll improve soon =)

Re: Someone else nobody knows posts his scores...

Ok, so I tried Speedcore Dandy and again I laugh lol. Here's .9x rate (I don't see the modifier for that showing up...does anyone know why?). I couldn't come close to passing it at all without .9x. Was slightly too fast for me in general, and way too fast for my fingers on 4242 and 8686 parts.



Also, I tried to AA Delirium a couple times just now, but the best I got was a slightly better machine score than the above posted score and only once. Oh well, maybe later.

Edit:

First try today:



Second try:


Couldn't stop blinking on them. oi. Got the AA, though.

Re: Someone else nobody knows posts his scores...

I think it's because Delirium has longer streams than Boss Machine. It all depends on what the steps look like. For example, I can't do 42824 or 68286 patterns if they're in the middle of a stream. (I think the R1 version of Gradeus has those patterns in bunches in the last big stream, but I can't read that part at all on C300...maybe I do need to shrink the screen.)

Re: Someone else nobody knows posts his scores...

It's definitely because of the longer streams in Delirium. I can read them and everything, but occassionally my mind wanders during a song and I screw up a combo because I'm thinking about having to work the next day or something.

When you change the song rate to .9x or 1.1x or something else, does it normally show it on the score page?

Re: Someone else nobody knows posts his scores...

http://stepmaniaug.com/songs.aspx is what I'm using.

I seemed to be improving a lot slower now. Besides needing to work on speed...I'm having trouble reading jumps that are mixed in with stream, or something like a jump followed by 2-3 regular arrows and another jump at higher BPM. Even harder than reading them is actually hitting them. Guess I just gotta practice a lot...enough for tonight, though...arms are killing me.

Edit: Almost FC
I tried again a few times after getting this, but kept messing up and gave up for the time being.

Re: Someone else nobody knows posts his scores...

Double post...I hope it's ok. Been a few days and wanted to continue this thread as I progress. Trying to improve speed at the moment. Saw Dynam0 do really well on Boss Machine 2.0x music speed and realized how slow I am in comparison to the best players. So here's how I've progressed with speed between last night and today:



1.2x


1.2x


1.3x


1.2x


1.3x


Did a bunch of other random songs...delirium, CIA Rave, Uber Rave and some others...at 1.2x and then did Quasar at 1.3x a few more tries, but didn't have any improvement on the above 1.3x score. So I decided to try at 1.0x speed. First FC that I feel is an actual accomplishment. The other one I posted in this thread was too easy to do.

So, I'm getting faster fairly quickly. Jumps still kill me, though..

So, what do you think? Does it look like I'm improving?

PS - Took Ridiculous Timing off because my scores seemed to be coming out weird when I had it on.
