- First off could you introduce yourself? let everyone know your first name, age, and the city/state/country that you live in?

Jero (O:, name's Jesus Ortega, I recently turned 19 and I live in Miami, Fl~

- What does a typical day for you consist of?

Welp, my day is typically consists of mainly running errands for my mom, playing SM (and occasionally step some files out of boredom haha), babysitting my dog and other filler stuff to do to kill some time (like...troll some 12 year olds on MW3 on the PS3 haha)

- Video games aside, do you have any hobbies? play any instruments?

Hobbies, mainly writing short stories that I never bother to show to people (O:. As for instruments, the last time I used any instruments was the recorder back in elementary school haha. Though I should really get back on it ever since watching the Brock's Dub version of Star wars episode 4 :3

- How long have you been playing FFR/stepmania, and how often do you play in a week?

I have been playing FFR and StepMania for six years and I usually play SM every day (although I am very rubbish still haha, but who knows, I might get better at SM & FFR eventually~)

- Could you let everyone know what settings you use for FFR/stepmania? (engine, keys, speed mod, up/downscroll ect.)

For FFR, I play on the Velocity engine, I use QW56, upscroll, Dark, Mirror, and speedmod is 2.25-2.3x, oh and I occasionally play on Dizzy. As for SM, I now play on SM 3.95 with the IIDX14 GOLD theme, Play on C925, Distant, Midare++, Dark, Mirror, Hidden, and Dizzy (yay for mods \o/)

- Do you have any warmup routines, or have any silly/odd way of warming up before you play?

Not really, I don't warm up or else I get mindblocked easily on the easiest songs haha.

- What are some of your notable FFR/SM achievements you have accomplished that you are most proud of?

For FFR, I have to say that I have 4 notable achievements. My first one was after Roy's first Brutality Tournament (which I dropped out of haha) and I had sightread BF's Nitrix with my rubbish Logitech K120 keyboard. My second achievement was when I had managed to get my first 9 AAA'd with yet again my rubbish keyboard, though it was for Justin's New Years Tourney. Third notable achievement was when I finally got my first VC AAA'd with only Scavenger (being my only 9) AAA'd (so far I have about 4 VC's AAA'd atm; using the former 1-13scale). And lastly, I guess you can say that almost SDGing both 0 (Piano version) and Papyrus's Adventure with Dizzy on is rather a cool score to nab on. And that progressive increase in skill is caused by changing from a K120 to a slim keyboard haha. The only notable SM achievement I have achieved is almost AAAing Comment te dire adieu (Oni) on 1.1x rate, current best is 4g 1cb.

- Do you have any personal FFR/SM goals you have set for yourself?

Well, aside from the usual "improve each and every moment," I just want to eventually have the capability of MAing files like Rain, GNR's OP, Kanon (Oni), and other files that I'm too lazy to list at the moment haha. As for FFR, not too sure, I might just stop playing FFR after the 7th official tourney, but maybe my main goal is to win D4 of this upcoming tourney since I got eliminated early in the tourney last year @___@
