Dossar's Foot Play goals

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

Today's session made me realize how important flush panels are (well, I should say convinced to get a riser frame). I was able to pass Silence 1.2 rate and get a similar score to my previous pass (92.90%) but man it was death with the slightly raised panels.

Going to place an order for the riser frame the coming week

Damn your October progress is really nice. Sorry to hear about the crack putting a temporary hold in your sessions. Make sure to get in some running, rowing, or biking so you don't fall out of form.

The panel arrived yesterday and I'm going to install it later today! According to Kyle lexan material should not break that easily, especially with how I step. I was given a replacement part.

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

you should try some distance running in windows of ITG downtime/low motivation. I've been really surprised at how good of cross training they are for each other.

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

check out magnetic csp as another 17 that you may be able to 990k break on. It doesn't have any bullshit except some crossovers which you seem to be pretty solid at.

The 24th trills and 12th jacks give me a hard time unfortunately.

October 2018 Reflection

October 2018 Goals
- Continue maintaining a good state of the pad: get a riser frame, check the sensors regularly
- Play every 2-3 days
- Get down to 145 pounds
- Play 200 BPM in at least half the sessions
- Break 90 on several 14s

A lot of weird pad stuff happened this month. I had to adjust the wheels a couple of times and the down panel broke (I was sent a replacement, thanks Kyle Ward ). I was able to install a 1/8" riser frame and adjust the up and right arrows a bit, although I've noticed that the up and right arrow have some particularly interesting issues:
- The up arrow is for some reason undersensitive in the bottom-right corner (important corner, go figure)
- The right arrow is good on the outside, but the inner edge requires to be hit a certain way to register (important edge, go figure)

For now it looks like the pad should be in a playable state, but I'm expecting to have to work on the up and right arrows more this month. Some sessions the right arrow was so bad that it would give 20 or more misses during a song while the other panels would give zero or a few.

I did manage to get down to 147 pounds, so even though it's not the 145 goal, it's still a good step forward considering how much my weight fluctuates.

The 200 BPM goal didn't work out as much as I hoped due to pad issues, although I did try out some DDR songs like Anti-Matter CSP 18.

I'm going to take away the play every 2-3 days goal and just go by that I'll try to play as often as I can without making it stressful. The aim is still every two days as much as I can.

I did break 90 on the two 14s I got videos of on October 1st, but nothing after that.

What really stood out to me for October was my DDR A accomplishments. On October 20th I got the following:
- First Single 18 950,000 break (Max 360 ESP 18)
- Another Doubles 18 Pass (Paranoia Revolution EDP 18)
- Two new ESP 16 AAAs (Life is Beautiful and Wadatsumi)
- Fascination Maxx CSP 18 double digit greats and single digit misses

As a result, I'll have goals for DDR A mixed in this time. I of course still have a focus of improving stamina and speed, which should lead to accomplishing the DDR A goals. What'll make the DDR A goals harder is that on public DDR machines, the pads are not modded so there are more misses and greats that result from trying to play similarly on my pad.

November 2018 Goals
- Get down to 145 pounds
- DDR A: Break 990k on several more 16s
- DDR A: Break 900k on more 18s, and break 950k on another 18
- DDR A: Break 970k on several 17s (Be a Hero and Saber Wing Headshot come into mind)

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

Updated the score post with my November 14th session which was the best ITG session for this month. I fell on my left knee this morning from slippery ice so I'm going to take it easy and possibly start again on Sunday.

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

What I found was that slightly increasing my speed modifier and hitting slightly later landed better accuracy results.

Also I usually only go to the Round 1 locations once a month, so the playing on my SMX pad in between is meant to help me improve between those sessions. Next time I'm thinking of playing more 18s, and possibly passing a 19. The two I have in mind are Valkyrie Dimension or Egoism 440; these are going to be harder on the arcade pads vs. my home setup.

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

On December 13th (Thursday) Seth, myself, and a few others went to the Round 1 in Puente Hills. While they did require shoes, I was able to borrow fitkicks for this session and did much better than I originally anticipated.

Summary
- Second 15 PFC (In Between)
- 18 improvements: 950k break on NGO, 970k break on Maxx Unlimited X-Special
- Deadball PFC (this is a tricky 13 to time, it's swing based)
- A few other 13 PFCs
- Other improvements on 15s and 16s

Re: Dossar's Foot Play goals

Saturday (December 22nd) was the first time I used skinners for a full DDR session. They're definitely the best shoes I've used for dance games, as they feel similar to socks but have more grip so it also is a solution to me not playing doubles barefoot. It was the last Round 1 session I had at Puente Hills before going back from my California trip.

It's worth noting this is the first DDR session that the ingame calorie counter broke 2,000 calories. (Below run was playing Paranoia Survivor on 0.25x speedmod with flat) .

Summary

For Singles:
- Two new 17 980k breaks
- Played more 18s with some improvements
- More 16 improvements and AAAs
- Some more 15 improvements and lower level PFCs

For Doubles:
- First PFC (Holic EDP 11)
- First 15 AAA (got two)
- Improvement on Paranoia Revolution EDP 18
- 970k break on a doubles 16

Singles

Two new 17 980k breaks
Finally broke 980k on Pursuer and almost got the AAA on Rising Fire Hawk. I think Rising Fire Hawk could be my next potential 17 AAA.





Played more 18s with some improvements
Lots of 18s this session. NGO was upped from 952k, and Maxx Unlimited X-Special was upped to almost 980k. Tohoku Evolved and Cosy Catastrophe could be a 950k break in the near future. Pluto The First was also a good run since I FC'd most of the chart from the beginning to the middle.























More 16 improvements and AAAs
Finally got an AAA on Vanessa and Illegal Functional Call (both being FCs). Ishtar was a major improvement from my previous 974k score, getting close to an AAA (the shock arrows are really easy to hit in that one). Happy Lucky Yeappy is a pain and I was surprised to have FC'd it this session. Also glad to finally have I'm So Happy FC'd even though I could work on lowering the greatcount (the runningmen patterns force a jack).











Some more 15 improvements and lower level PFCs
Finally cleaned up Max 300 to be an AAA and got Endorphin down to an SDG FC. drizzleRomanceGirl picked Marisa Stole The Precious Thing and I got a sightread PFC, so that was nice.











Doubles

First PFC
My first doubles PFC was Holic EDP 11 this session.



First 15 AAAs
Got two 15 AAAs this session, also being my first doubles 15 AAAs.





Improvement on Paranoia Revolution EDP 18
Previous score was a low 800k barefoot pass, then with skinners upped to 880k.



970k break on a doubles 16
Improved PSMO from below 950k to a 970k break.
