Official Tournament Round 1 Files

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Files

bmah, to a token collector, getting bumped up would be terrible.

The game honestly feels exponentially harder once you get up there, and that's why people say there is such a massive gap between d7 players. They master smaller and smaller things, and to be honest, it's down right frustrating knowing that if I sucked a little bit more I'd have had a shot.

I don't believe it's chance either, but the fact that I'm being held to standards I only pulled off five years ago, and then a massive history showing I never reached that high again is just frustrating. I proposed a system in chat that would cut down on this happening, but everyone took it so horridly that I didn't bother bringing it up.

we're all (or most) being held to standards from years ago that we can't match. but none of us are whining like this. if you don't want to play, it's as simple as that. don't play. but holy shit, you're just holding yourself back right now.

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Files

I'm aware, Frank, and I'm not bitching about "I should have been put in d2". I'm saying I know why I'm in d3, and it sucks because I know that there's no question on it. Bmah asked why I played, so I answered, and the answer included difficulty.

Secondly, I asked to be removed anyway, and it was ignored. In fact, if you've read, I've asked multiple times to be bumped up to d4, simply because I enjoy the file more, and feel that I'd have a better shot there than d3 due to the file type. I'd rather not have the d3 badge on my profile because I know I'm not ready for it. Bump me up, remove me, I honestly don't care since I know that I've no chance at even top 16. I'm already not going to play the file anymore anyway.

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Files

I hate the D6 song. I don't like trills. Long trills are my worst enemy (especially if they're fast). Also, I'll sometimes miss the last note on a purple trill. Trills suck. Trills. Trilly trilly trilly. This file has lots of trills.

Nah, but it's not all bad. Anyway, I like D5's file and the file for D7 is super hard for round one. Like, damn. D7 does not mess around. This OT is going to be so much fun though.

But, what if you hate D4s next round file, and like D3s better? And the next round will be harder, regardless. Would you rather have a D4 Badge on your profile, although you are less ready for it, than the D3 badge? This makes no sense to me...

I'd have thought you wouldn't get one if you forced yourself into the upper tiers. If that is the case, then never mind. Just remove me. Lol.

Just remove me. Lol.

Can this happen yet? Maybe he will stop posting.
In other news, the D6 file is lots of fun too. D7 is still kicking my ass. You win this round gameboy, I doubt I'll improve too much more but I'll just have to keep trying.

i don't think you read the rules fully,
as you are still not following them.
in short, do not post your complaints in any threads
and your opinions on the matter of wanting to be moved up because you like the song/feel you would have a better chance may be receiving negative feedback because they are "simply" selfish

whether you knew this or not is not my concern.
but now you do know, or you have the opportunity to at least.

My reply to you wasn't a "complaint". My response to you said I literally don't care, and don't mind being removed, as I had that as original plan anyway.

As for the negative feedback about being bumped up? I... don't care either? No offense, but with the context of knowing I'll only make it two rounds or so, no one's really made a convincing argument on why I shouldn't try to play the file that's more fun now and get bumped out when I know it's going to happen. Selfish? Maybe, but bluntly put it, I don't care of the community's opinion on me regarding this tournament.

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Files

Then remove yourself. You don't need someone to officially remove you from the dashboard. If you like the file, play it without worrying about the tournament. If you are about the tournament then play your file when get bored. But seriously, quit posting this Oscar Meyer crap. Getting old.

Anyway so, I hope I haven't mind blocked this file already lol

Being that you wanted the community to give you a reason to continue playing in this tourney, I think you do care about their opinion towards you.
Also, if you have any issues regarding a tournament, I suggest reading the rules pertaining to it thoroughly next time since you are breaking several of them.
Ignoring such a task happens sometimes, so I do not hold it against you.
I also suggest not ignoring this obligation again so such a conflict can better be avoided in the future.

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Files

gonna give my thoughts on some difficulties for these files, only D5 or higher though since I suck at looking at lower difficulties

D5: Thinking around 69-70 for this, Most of the difficulty comes from the mid section jacks and ending 24ths and 32nds and the bpm for the minijacks makes them reasonable (bpm is 178 I believe)
Most of the broken jumpstream patterns are also quite smooth as well.

D6: 79 seems like a good rank for this, intro trills are tricky, 24ths are fast (there at ~205bpm) and the jumpstream section adds some difficulty, but other files have longer jumpstreams in this region (love and justice for example) so 79 would put it with files like Azul and Return to Fire which are similar but different in their own ways

D7: Tough file, high NPS as well (15.1)Patterns are ok but the frames on the jacks are especially nasty. Nasty roll transition at around 1900 combo as well. the ending third is considerably easier than the rest of the file though. 89 seems about right, along side files like Stinger and Scrap Syndrome which are similar

The original topic was that I felt the d3 file was harder than the d4 one. I'm well aware of the rules for the tournament as I've been in three of them, and I follow them, but if someone asks a question, I will answer honestly. What I care about is a reason to keep playing in the tournament. If I gave a damn about how people feel about me on how I treat myself with this tournament, I wouldn't post at all. I wouldn't even address my opinion on the d3/d4 file difficulty in the first place.

And if you really wanted me to stop arguing with you about it stop replying. Directly addressing me prompts a response, and what perhaps could be seen as more violation of rules. If you haven't noticed, I stopped replying to people who simply said "stop bitching" or "remove yourself" for two reasons. Because one, it gets no where, and two, because I've already said I'm not playing the file anymore, and I haven't since my first post on this thread. If you genuinely have issues with my posts, there's a report button. Report my post and have it taken down instead of trying to take matters into your own hands. If you want to address me about the issue off the forums, there is a private message board where you can. Thank you.
