My previous best rank > your previous best rank

Awesome Boo count, considering it beats about 90% of the players on this song. FC would be top 80 or lower

**T-Force** · 12-9-2010, 03:56 AM

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimprovement.

Solid Sexual's from Andrew and 1337 too.

**basicdrummerman** · 12-9-2010, 04:29 AM

**T-Force** · 12-9-2010, 05:12 AM

Definition of AMATEUR
1
: devotee, admirer
2
: one who engages in a pursuit, study, science, or sport as a pastime rather than as a profession
3
: one lacking in experience and competence in an art or science

The root of the word is amore - meaning love

In general - an amateur is a combination of definitions one and two above. Definition three was tacked on later as a derogatory term because such people lacked the skills of professionals.

Here's how I see it -
It takes a good amount of skill (compared to those who have never played before) to AAA anything over a three. It takes a considerably greater investment of time and energy to become practiced enough to AAA a nine or higher, I believe you have passed the point where the game is just a 'pastime' for you. It becomes part of your life, and just something that you do - part of who you are. There are only thirteen difficulties in the game after all, and if you can AAA over have the songs in the entire game (average just over 8), then you are past the socially constructed concept of definition #3. #1 and #2, however, do not reference skill - and in general speech, an amateur is not considered to be top of the line. In skill alone, I see a vast gap between the expectations of an 'amateur' and 'professional.' Why are we trying to draw a definite line? There is certainly a middle ground of experienced players.

So in generally accepted language, an amateur lacks skill but loves to participate in the activity. In the end, past my own consideration, I consider myself an amateur because I love trying to get better at this game. My scores are amateurish compared to some, but mind blowing to most new players.

And I am experienced - in GT terms I am ranked 859th out of 1.7 million players (ever). Even considering multies, that's still the top 1% of everyone who has made an account on the game.

So I don't consider myself and amateur in skill, but mainly in my admiration of the game. I think people incorrectly equate the word with 'novice' who do not understand the full meaning.

Holy hell does that suck. And Yoshi's Cookie too, that song was such a b*tch in the long run.

I've seen my own replays before, it's funny to see XD but damn...I still don't have Shag or Slap Guitar 2 either, but I don't have BF's x.x

But here Trevor:

There's a gif for you XD

But here's my score to post. I got the skill token, and while I was playing the song I wasn't nervous at all, turns out I had the AAA all along, so I got a new skill token AND a new AAA

significant rank jump too, from 2823 to 1 :3

I also got 2 other skill tokens too but I didn't SS them, they didn't feel as special.

12-9-2010, 05:37 PM

Time to take a break and play FFR. Here's the aftermath.

Wish I could get more AAA's.

Feel free to watch and laugh as I miss during the easiest part of the song

Nice ST unlock! =D

Anyways, I just found out jellygod passed away so I decided to try and AAA a song in his honor. We talked a little. Anyways. This one's for Steve.

**ichliebekase** · 12-9-2010, 06:20 PM

Here's my AAA story for Steve. He made a video for me about 2.5 years ago and he AAA'd 5 Black Skulls for me. Ironically, within the past week, I AAA'd it without knowing that he had passed. So I knew without knowing [I guess?].

I'm sure he would have been so proud of you. I hate it when nice people do things we'd never expect them to do. I know it's off topic but I really don't care. Keep that replay too if possible (if you didn't play mirror). It'd be in his honor if you did.

**LoneW0lf** · 12-9-2010, 09:39 PM

Why is this an 8?
Oh well, First AAA over 1k notes.

Sadly it was about a week ago so it's too late now. If I had known I definitely would have saved it.

May go AAA it again tomorrow just to save it.
