So... will there be 17 active players in D4 now? I'm confused, I don't see your name at all, lol.

No~ There are currently 16 players in Division 4. But what happened was, last round I was removed from the tournament while I was in Division 3. I asked to be put back into the tournament but received no replies (still haven't gotten a reply.)
I checked back today to play the Division 3 song but turns out I was actually put back into the tournament as a Division 4 player last round, but I was never notified of this so I never got to play Flamingo or get a proper run in.
It might be a mistake that I was put back into Division 4 since I got no replies or notices about me being put back into the tournament.
I'm just thankful that I was somehow put back into the tournament as a Division 4 player. All I'm asking now is to be reinstated as the 17th player in Division 4 since I want a fair shot at Division 4 as well!
I still haven't forgotten about the video I offered to make. I'll be making that as soon as this whole thing gets cleared out~ I've been playing SM quite heavily this past week as well so I managed to squeeze out a Nous AAA today (I was shaking SO hard.. wow, you will not believe..)
So please~ let me have a running shot at Division 4!

:l charu. reeeead~
oh..; ninaj'd

well,
I kinda must confess that what happened to soulwar is unfair.
I don't know the whole gist, but what's done is done...
I suggest continuing to obtain feedback towards your situation, but placing you back into the tourney would most likely complicate and maybe even arouse other players.
Which imo it shouldn't, cause competition is nice~

I am sorry for your situation and I hope it is resolved soon.

yeah, which is why i said 9 players better move on if soulwar is in d4.
I agree its unfair to you, but its also unfair to d4 players, unless of course 9 people move on.
Can you tell i want 9 players to move on?

Got put into Division 3 which I thought was alright, but it seems I can handle Division 4 songs without too much hardship (although Nous is by far, the hardest tournament I've played so far!) If I really wanted to sandbag I would've stayed in Division 1~ *evil grin*

Honestly at this moment I think Division 4 is perfect for me but..

I'm out of the tournament at this moment because I did not know that I was put back in on Friday. I thought new rounds start on Saturday nights? How was I supposed to react in time without any notifications

But in the case I do get put back into Division 4, make sure 9 people move on! More competition is always awesome.

Wow, cool guy. At least you're advocating for something that I think is fair for everyone. Again, it sucks that that happened, because it isn't fair to you. But again, with a Nous AAA you're autosafe this round, and that bumps unsespecting players down one and causes 9 people to be eliminated, which is why I'm saying 9 players should move on this round if you get put back in (which i also think is fair since soulwar says he didn't get a chance to respond to what happened)

Kinda like promising everyone a 1 in 2 shot at the next round of a 16 man track race and then plopping usain bolt in there and saying the original players now have only have essentially 7 slots to next round X3 (god im bad at not editing shit)

OMG after multiple whoring sessions i managed to pull this off

**** yeah hope that keeps me safe!

A lot of people don't actually look near those receptors and simply assume when the arrows are going to match to the receptors, based on their anticipation of the music. I'll tell you now, be more conscious of when those arrows meet the receptors. A lot of apparent "random goods" occur with the wrong assumption that you're hitting the arrows on time. Don't look far past the receptors and then you'll know for sure when you need to hit those arrows.

i tend to look at the middle of the screen. any other top-tier players look solely at the receptors?

I'm not exactly a "top tier" player - but I look slightly below the receptors in the center and sometimes move more towards the middle o the screen during intense jumpstreaming.

[popsicle_3000]

current cutoffs...
crazy D1,2,6.... actually, crazy everyone!!!

D1: 4g, and half the field has the AAA
D2: 2g
D3: 8-0-0-1
D4: 6g
D5: 5-0-0-1
D6: 5g

[Salitz]

I don't even look at the screen when I play. I just smash my head on my keyboard until I AAA a song.

Edit: Kinda like this

HAHAHAHAHA.

Every time I try that I end up with a missflag, and the miss is in the exact center of the song.

You don't look AT the receptors; you look directly underneath it (but the receptors are within your line of vision). Several other players such as Dossar read right near the receptors as well. You may need to lower your speedmod to accomodate for this type of reading.

If you're looking at the middle of the screen, stop and try this method for a while.

oh crap I'm the cutoff now

panic siren wooooooah wooooooah

I look straight at them.

I feel like I am a bit unusual... it seems like most people look down the screen a bit.

[MikeShinoda12345]

I don't even know where I look lol
My eyes wander from the judgement to the receptors to the raw score to the PA counter to my hands to whatever

[iironiic]

I look directly in the middle of the screen haha...

[TC_Halogen]

I look in the top-middle area of the screen, in between the judgment and the arrow receptors, shifting slightly if the patterns get a bit more dense.

[I like it]

i look at every arrow individually
