Mirror is Stupid

[Dynam0]

I stand by this statement...it makes any accomplishment on a simfile done non-mirror underrated imo. You can argue that certain songs bias to some players etc. etc. but basically what you're doing is allowing yourself to post your best score of 2 simfiles while ignoring the worse one. It's cheap and makes your scores look better.

If someone is left-handed and seems most files bias to right handers, then mirror EVERY song you play and I'd call that fair...but simfile artists agree the patterns they use are intended to be played non-mirrored. Bleh, anyways..


I tried mirroring some stuff because I was playing awful and my arms felt like two pieces of lead so I wondered how I would do if I mirrored. I don't recall posting mirrored scores but I have tried a few sims that way just for fun:

First I whored MD to see if I could get sub-40's MA...couldn't do it at least today but a shitload of sections like the 24ths were easier. I always restart if I **** the opening jacks up but didn't in this session.









Wasn't warmed up in the first attempt (MD is not a warm-up song), second attempt I hit the running men way better and improved the ending...still felt horribly slow though


Bombed the streams in the middle that I normally AAA because I was tired lmao
Beginning and jacks part was WAY easier though


MA is good since pretty much all of my bad habits were gone (I can go into detail with screens but who cares)...messed up a lot of trills and the beginning because of slow day etc.


This was funny...I usually do awful in the beginning but I almost FCd it even with a crappy SM day. I AAA the end after the quad hold non-mirror almost every time but this time I was tired and got some cbs and greats =/.

I know it doesn't appear it, but for me these scores (with the exception of MD and fots MA) are awful. I should post some more on a better day but this should give some indication as to why I think it's cheap. I have so many bad habits on these songs, especially fots, on non-mirror but still play them that way because I care about my own records. It would be meaningless to me if I posted a mirrored #est SDG FC since my best non-mirrored is 6 cbs with like 20 greats (iirc), a way worse score.

Sorry for rambling, just my 2 cents =P
