Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

One huge tip i can give you that helped me out was keeping your hands in warm-semi hot water. Just a short 2 minute break or so to do that. They'll feel like new for a little bit before you're in agony again lol.

proper preparations are key from what I'm reading

such as sleeping before server reset

Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

youll probably do better in the long run if you try to use virtually no energy hitting the keys, even if it results in worse pa early on, the stamina saved will really help you later

Stocking up snacks and clearing your schedule can be key as well. Even with good PA, depending on song choice you're there for at least 18-20 hours.

850p autofail VBB, space to restart for faster speed in between runs

During last nights little pseudo-run I didn't have any of that and it was debilitating

Might also switch to 300-400p autofail Vrofl intro because that is somewhat faster but more stamina draining

I will also be streaming the entire thing once the day comes

Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

when I did it, I woke up just before the server time reset. I had a few snacks ready and at the time I was actually home with my parents too so I notified them of what I was doing. blocked off that entire day a week in advance. I think I even cut some of my work hours wow

I had a twitch stream the whole time and that really helped. I managed to get to 1 bil in around 15 and a half hours. I decided to take a nap for a little while after that because my forearms hurt so much~ I woke up maybe with 3 hours left and just got a bunch more points because why not.

My strategy was mostly mashing eighth note quads on vbb to any music I could stand listening too, autofail one miss, offset so notes began immediately. I would switch to nyan cat or needneedneed sometimes too. at first I took a short break every 2 hours or so, but then that quickly become every hour or so for a few minute.

Not sure if I'd ever give it another try. I'm not nearly conditioned to do it again like I was back when I tried. when i finished, I couldn't play FFR normally for 3 days. I just...didn't have the ability to read notes and press the keys at all anymore hahah.

I find it hard to believe exactly how much damage & devastating attempting something like this could be for someone, considering I have never tried it, and if someone didn't care that much, they could definitely break the leaderboards by just quadholding the first 2 densejs sections in Serious Shit

quadholding isn't functional on R^3

I did do 700p autofail Serious Shit last night to see but I didn't know how exactly the time worked (like if it was faster) but ultimately the challenge here is your arms not falling off

vrofl is a bit of a struggle for me to pull off consistently but I can AAA VBB 850p autofail frequently enough that the GT is probably better off just using it.

However that's cheating for that purpose and easily noticeable in the Recent plays section. Also you don't simply get over 1Bil points in a single day without having people follow your progress/watch you do it.

Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

VBB is a no brainer in terms of scoring consistency vs fatigue. I'd dont see any reason to not do that if you want 1bil+.

One thing to note is that maybe the hard batch of new songs may contain something worth farming for grandtotal?

I'd be tempted to hold it until these files are out. Maybe I'm wrong tho..

Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

what about whimper wall

Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

Yeah, that too.

Having people in the stream last night really gave me that confidence boost and motivation to actually try my best to do it.

And now I have hype for the weekend after this one when I attempt the legit run

Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

lmfao

@Haku, some files would probably yield faster results however it truly is a battle of stamina and arm tolerance and VBB is the least straining out of all GT whoring songs

Haku you should do this with me we can dual stream

Re: I'm onto you, Zenith.

You could tell me a date, but my eyes are kinda tired for today, too much AGDQ watching rofl..
