Dossar's ITG Progress Thread

[DossarLX ODI]

A group of friends got a machine up and running in August and since then I've been making an effort to play ITG 1-2 times a week, usually on Friday and Sunday. This thread is meant to track my progress over time and some goals, although I consider it a major milestone with my speed setback that I'm finally getting closer to 14s (12 to 13 was bullshit, ugh).

I've found I have two very major weaknesses:
- Speed
- Jacks (Pendulum patterns are death, they're filled with these and trills)

Current Goals:

October
- Get a solid 14 pass DONE 10/5/16
- Pass Hold Your Colour (Bipolar Vocal Mix) DONE 10/16/16
- Pass Granite
- Pass Oceanlab Megamix
- Pass exotic ethnic 1.8 rate (I got to the last 5 notes and failed twice in a row, but this is within reach relatively soon)

Now on to the start of the thread with the September 25th session.

Normal Rate

This is an 11.






Solid double star on 155 stamina, probably more like a hard 12 though. 42 measures of 155


First true 12 FEC, not counting Yozora No Muko Hard from DDRStream PreSupernova.


It's ridiculous to feel the difference at 180 BPM. I drop really fast after 170. I almost passed Be Lovin' in a previous session; I got around halfway through the last stream before failing (that one is 185).


This was from September 18th. Not sure if this is actually a 14, but I'm biased because anything decently fast is going to be harder on my end. Breakdown is 32-48/48 at 150 BPM. On another note, I lasted 318 measures into the 512 measure run in Oceanlab Megamix before my back decided to crap out.

Rates

50 measures of 153


42 measures of 170


68 measures of 168. This is my best pass to date -- death screams at 1:45 and 2:05.


32 measures of 167
