Re: Squid and Puppy's Summer Vanilla Tourney

It's weird to see people who absolutely smash my scores have such a hard time with this file, I don't get it

Jacks are a talent. You've either got it or you don't. I guess a lot of D6 don't. lol nope, just me. I really wish I'd broken my wrists less when I was younger.

Edit: holy shit it's a miracle! I'm not even gonna try and improve this.

I'd get cocky and say "AAA inbound", but then I'd get super mindblocked on something trivial.

Re: Squid and Puppy's Summer Vanilla Tourney

Dumb files to everyone = good files for me
Easy shit for everyone = impossible for me

Like Reality is easily one of the hardest 79s, and Powerpoints is probably the easiest lmao

Gunk is harder than Reality imo I could sit there and keep blackflagging Reality as opposed to never being able to fix a 3 clean on Gunk.

Took a bit longer than I was expecting, but got it in the end

I don't believe that at all, I was super shit at jacks and literally played only jack files for a long ass time until I was better lmao
Like right now I play tell v3, turbo, and grist, as well as zl on ffrmania every day until I'm back to where I was

I was only playing js files for a while and now I'm pretty sure my jumpstream speed is better than when I was in my prime (but not my stamina rip)

0-0-0-3 double helix

And here I am getting 33-7-5-4 on it rofl

Re: Squid and Puppy's Summer Vanilla Tourney

My biggest issue for jacks is generating boos or missing the perfect window causing a good or average rush. Anyone else having the same issue? Arch0wl iirc has tips to improve on jacks if you want to ask him.

My issue is usually the opposite.... I miss the last arrow a lot of the time or if I do FC a long jack usually I'm too slow by the end of it and get a few goods.

Some people have physiological limitations.
Just because you were probably shit at jacks and now you aren't doesn't mean that's a possibility for others. :P

I could play nothing but jack files all day every day and the only difference it'd make is I'd retire earlier from snapping a tendon
(after 5 plays on turbo, I can't get more than 5 notes without a ripping, paralyzing numbness stabbing my right wrist and completely stopping all movement, feels strangely similar to being electrocuted. I'm done.)

Hey look an edit: from the time of this post, to the time of this edit; my right hand's still numb. without any fucking feeling whatsoever.
Yeah, anybody can jack if they just practice a bit. it's not going to cause any irreparable damage or anything.[/passiveaggressivecunt]
I've just been sitting here trying to wiggle my fingers for the last couple hours and I'm worried this isn't going away.
I knew well before now my wrists were fucked or very close to it. Yet I was still stupid enough to give it a shot anyways. hm..

This is it for me. Usually when I'm just a little bit too slow the last note drops off.

Re: Squid and Puppy's Summer Vanilla Tourney

Personally the jump jacks are the worst for me in powerpoints.

Re: Squid and Puppy's Summer Vanilla Tourney

I had to watch Powerpoints again just to see what the fuss was about. I currently have 6-0-2-0 on it and it is simply due to my keyboard never recognizes left arrow jacks at all. I think it falls into the border of "Very High 79", like Reality used to be the be-all-end-all 79 back in the day.

Jumpstream is a more common pattern than jacks are; and there are a lot of variances for both styles of patterning. Jack speed never seems to be the issue; as it is mostly a good, av, or boorush. Dealing with a file that revolves more around jacks is "out of the norm" for most players nowadays.
