Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]
Guys, thanks for your support!
I decided to try out D2 songs for fun, and the results are more than just disappointing. It's going to be hard to keep motivation. I'm just mashing. The number of boos is just hilarious. Getting B or just finishing file is already an achievement |

Re: The Novice/Intermediate/Advanced Rivalry [2015]
Only one division ahead of you so Im not pro by any means.... But my one piece of advice would be to not mash. When I struggle with harder files I focus more on trying to play the patterns correctly rather than making sure I dont miss anything. Your fingers will eventually get used to moving efficiently rather than fast and like a sloppy Joe sammich'. You can do it!

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. |

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.
