Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]

I hope the song selections are good, I can't really play through them on this computer. I just picked charts I thought I remembered as being good.

Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]

KLiTz, thanks for your help! After playing some 30+ songs I understand the strats I need to apply. Sometimes I'll just have to miss some parts to concentrate on the ones I can actually nail.

portalbob340, thanks! Your selections are really solid. Always fun to try out some new files that work together quite nicely.

Here are some first runs on D2. Three 40+... I should say that it went better than expected. First three songs, actually, can be improved. On the other hand, I don't know what to do about two last ones. They are so disastrous that I'm not even gonna bother to play them intentionally.

SDG possible?



I'll be the happiest human if I FC this one.



Lost this one completely.



No comments about these two.

Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]

BitterTaste, good job on that Firebird score. I know the others are really tough, especially for someone fairly new to D2, but try to focus on getting used to the patterns in the files, regardless of speed. Using a slower rate for practice should be really helpful here. And of course, remember that you don't need to only play these songs, and you should try working up from a difficulty you are comfortable with. D2 can be a tough division to get used to, but I think you'll be able to handle it! Good luck!

Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]

Here are my best scores so far from practicing this morning:







Josh hoot sucks o_o I legit cannot play that stupid file. It is practically the same situation with paranoia a couple weeks ago. This file is just unplayable for me.
However, I might end up getting a SDG on Kick it... I practiced that one a lot with the isolation start because there are so many little spikes of like 10-12 notes.

Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]

Terrible First Runs are Terrible. :/

I like this song, no matter how bad I am at the file. No I'm not bias. Or am I?


I completely forgot to change my offsets/speed mod from the TCG challenge...derp.


I have no idea how/why this happens...but randomly, I end up clicking another window and it totally screws up my game. Happened during this 'gorgeous' possible SDG run... I'm crying.

That ending run is the worst.


This file is fanJACKtic.

Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]

SDG on a 25!!!

I am really scared because I honestly think I can AAA this file...

Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]
