Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

Large score dump, been having a session every morning upon waking up for 5 days in a row. Since the last one was 4 hours long and I went pretty hard, gonna show the results I have been getting for now. c:

Posting them in chronological order because I can't be bothered to sort them beyond that.

Probably AA-able once my key actuation technique becomes optimal again.


First AA, pretty bad PA though since I was mainly doing it for the raw stamina rather than actually fully nailing the patterns.


Can easily guess where I completely fucked up, though amusingly enough it's mostly the trills right after the hard handstream part that threw me off. >_>


Feels so smashable, until I tire out when trying to last all the way.

Pretty good for the meantime, choked the ending so I'll leave it at that until my transitioning ability gets smoother.


casual first AA manias


ditto


Really tricky file, lost AA because I refused to overstrain at that one part. 95-97+ score on it would be really solid... one day.

Finally happened~


Improved rather considerably compared to my last run.


First pass, won't be getting good scores on it till like 1.5+ years later so w/e.


lmao


All of a sudden, I can actually play this... I even FC'd an entire set of 141 handjacks on the run right before that.
Really looking forward to smashing this one day~


Finally got that out of the way, fuck that song so hard


Probably decent-ish, but improvable nonetheless.


Pretty solid/clean run.


File's pretty hard, might give it another try soon-ish but I dunno.

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread


decent


First AA, kinda overdue since I still have a long way to go anyway.


also decent


Never played the chart before, so I got slammed at the very end due to not knowing about the 24ths there.
This can be AA'd, but I won't be satisfied till an actually-solid run happens.


great-rushed the transition right before the handjacks, don't care


transitioning properly is hard

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

I'm awful at this game. Probably won't be progressing very much at it for a good while.


boo rush ruined a potentially really good score




bad pa


overdue


idk


edit would be AA-able if my left hand could cooperate


AA is nice, awful pa as expected though


improvable


probably improvable

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread


first AA, improvable cb count and kinda bad PA


bad PA because I blow at those patterns, nice AA though


dunno if that's any good


felt nice


improved nicely upon my initial AA


every time I have a session nowadays with handstream improvement in mind I end up getting super sidetracked and playing other dumb stuff such as literally everything contained within this post instead
this was the only thing that came out of today's session and idk if it's even worth anything

also did I mention that it literally happens every session ever
kill me


would've been really solid with a few less cb's, nice AA though


finally, felt really good to get


probably actually really good


ok cya in 5 years when i aa princess bride 2.0 but still fail to quadraphinix 1.1 due to the eternal sidetrack struggle

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

WTB> replacement for my left hand

bunch of filler-ish scores while I take a couple days off in the meantime

also got a couple other "cutting edge" speed AAs but decided to omit them since they're probably not even good



either I get slammed on the trills, or bleed out a billion greats right before them while trying to save up energy
probably going to leave it as is for now


only took a month to improve upon that previous awful score


slipped up at the ending rip


unreleased lofty/neon file, seemed like a decent run to me


tired out too much around the second half, might be improvable


actually worse than my 92.9 run seeing as how I didn't hit the streams anywhere near as well as I previously did
definitely will be returning to this file in due time


casual sloppy run won't be touching anytime soon


fuck this file dude

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

Mini score dump as I hopefully transition into a more refined, relaxed playstyle that promotes better control and execution for me overall.

After all, it has been apparent that my main approach to things results in my consistency getting bottlenecked hard even in adrenaline-fueled sessions during which I should be able to set cutting-edge scores... and I also rarely find myself to be in a physical position that allows me to regularly improve upon my jacking stamina - which I would cite as being above-average relative to the rest of my skillset... which I in turn don't particularly consider to be anything worth generally writing home about to begin with.

Whenever such relatively relaxed sessions do happen, I am usually rather pleased with the results... I do feel that I should not get way too ahead of myself in regards to the harder parts of my sessions however.

Bottom line is I am pretty much in a cycle of: realize my control is shit -> cool down with a couple of chill sessions -> turns out I get good ~97 range scores in the 2nd/3rd one -> decide to go ham on like a song or two -> get carried away... and spend the next month or two aggressively grinding shit till I hit the bottleneck again.
Repeatedly hitting the bottleneck is essentially the cause of me not progressing anywhere near as fast as I would hope to. Need to work on overcoming that somehow.


Anyway, here goes...



so it turns out that I AAA'd the entire hard section of the file, only to dump my 6g and 2 misses in the super easy parts of it - fml dude
oh well time to work on MA and/or 1.1 AA now


held 5g at the very end of the hard part, still a good run though I guess


second set of js was bad


would've been like 20g if not for me losing focus on the 32nd anchors halfway into the file, still pretty good though


fuck those minijacks so hard lmao


AA run is so god damn elusive, lost it on the second-to-last trill

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

I'm still playing like platinum garbage until I AA irl oni but here goes, also got a couple of VGMP4 scores in the meantime.



warmup score, kinda decent


kinda wanted a better run on this but that'll probably do... it's only 255 index streams though >.>


Here's my 1.1 AA run for reference, it's actually really bad and could be seriously improved. 95+ would make for an acceptable run I guess.


more sloppy 280 sustained index/pad streams from yours truly, pretty disappointing as well


Here's a really-draining stamina file I made a couple weeks ago, it's predominantly comprised of 280 JS and 140 handjack sections that last forever, in addition to a section of near-uninterrupted 210 jumptrills that last for almost 20 whole seconds.
This wasn't done on a very good session but I still think AA on 0.9 is kinda neat for now, maybe I'll release it somewhere in the future if I feel that anyone would actually be interested in it.


VGMP4 stuff:

sloppy cb's, definitely improvable but it's actually really fun on 1.3


god bless cornman


might actually be hilariously fucking good, literally don't know anyone else that has also played this on rates though
perhaps the loftiest of rhinos can enlighten me on this subject...?

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

Looks like the reconditioning ride started to unfold earlier than I thought it would... here's a score dump while I still wait (perhaps indefinitely nonetheless) to get fully unbad at this game for once.



warmup from a couple days ago, felt kinda nice



warmup, might be decent but I honestly don't know


still warmup-ish lost control at the end oops


felt kinda good actually


first AA, pretty bad PA so I'm not really satisfied with it... not to mention it's pretty overdue as well


As of the past couple sessions I hold at least 4 choked AA scores on 1.0 that pretty much tie my 90% personal best on it: sometimes even dominating the entire file only to choke at the very end.
thus I've been trying to pass 1.1 as consolation, possibly maybe coming soon to a stepman theater near u


neato


finally a not-so-garbage score on this chart, been struggling with it for so long
only took me like a week of dedicated roll-based jumptrill training to pull this off, 1.1 AA's my next target now


might actually be doable soon once my hands fully learn2control


left hand slipped up at the end lol


first AA, bad


damn this might be even more doable than I thought


141 korea handjacks - not many people may recognize the file though so here's a twitch highlight of the run for reference here
bled out too much at the verse section but I roughly made up for it by smashing the hard part with an FC
don't really care about the DP AA choke, it's waifu-approved so fuck it


just slightly off the mark control-wise for a single section damn


really fucking sloppy but this might actually be doable

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

Yo, can you play Bassdrop Freaks from "Yolomania 4"? If so you should make a video of it, theres no videos of that song on youtube

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

Honestly I don't really care much for yolo4 stuff barring a limited number of exceptions, though I do find a few other charts by Klaius (in other packs such as Nanahira which I only touch once in a blue moon anyway) to be more fun to play than this one. Also I only tend to make videos/highlights of things that I would consider to be actual milestones in regards to my improvement, so yeah.


Today was garbage for control and especially error correction, but since I was still angling for good stuff due to how pleased I was with how my last session turned out, I decided to casually go for some speed shit - here's what I managed to get for now.



actually nailed it rather well, pretty satisfied with this


this file lmao


might be pretty smashable on a better day

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

eternal despair


first AA, also shoutouts to holding 0 greats throughout the entire first half lolz


control started tanking so hard on the second half why... definitely crushable though
(311 sustained index streams)


only semi-good thing to come out of that fucking awful session


another nice thing from that abysmal day... probably low sdcb bait


felt kinda improvable but at the same time it's probably not too bad idk


Okay now for the not-so-bad stuff:


pretty solid warmup pa damn


might be ultra crushable if I get ultra flukey someday... still respectable imo and I wanted that for a while so I'll take that for now


why


unexpected AA nice, definitely gonna retake the control shit-test someday though


extremely hit-or-miss control with understandable yet still super questionable pa
an actual solid run on this file is scheduled to come to a stepmania near you... slated for a 2017 release though


completely bombed the only part of the file that actually matters hahahahaha end me


irreversible misreaderinos... rip

[Nano Desu]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

nice take the test 1.1 and snow05 edit

maybe try NBJS serious shit 1.1 or 1.05?
or NS18 if you haven't gotten AA on that yet

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

eternal drain spear

speed's keeping itself together fine, js and jacking are super not on point however and it'll take me a while to rectify... quite likely substantially longer than I would like it to be

gonna spend a week abroad so probably won't be able to play unless I come up with a miraculously viable playing setup on my laptop or some other thing, so have some mediocre scores in the meantime



damn I could probably get this soon


bombed the anchored polys and half of the 48ths pretty hard rip


I mean I still didn't nail the long jacks to a satisfactory enough extent but w/e I'll take it


actually keeping up with 250 burst jackarinos lol, dumpster trash pa though - probably should've played it on 1.5 instead oh well


hey that's actually good


second try, pretty sure I could crush this eventually but we'll see

wasn't feeling up to shape that day, score's nice but pa's improvable


somewhat improvable but I'll take it, considering I actually got anally dumpstered by it beforehand


this chart rubs me the right way... might actually be pretty good considering it's 352 streams idk


might have actually been really good but I fucked up the second chorus damn

[DeadSignal]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

etternal disrepair

break turned out to be 40 days long due to unplanned circumstances and me decimating my arms and shoulders on top of falling ill on the way back home

JS stamina reading is still very much in reconstruction, finally managed to start getting my speed back together a little though. On top of that I feel that such circumstances probably stand as a nice opportunity to refine the weaker aspects of my skillset, so here's to hoping I'll make the most out of that in the meantime.



first legit session in 40 days, bad accuracy but I actually near-FC'd the 10-note 195bpm long jack which is funny


shoegaze is fun, pretty interesting chart - probably really smashable though


pretty solid run, quite pleased with it - also that chart is really fucking sick


turns out it's not me being mindblocked on the file, but rather my OH trilling technique being unrefined
1.3 AA is a major milestone goal now, gonna take a while though considering how bad the pa for that run was


bad accuracy, probably decent AA though? idk


ok cya in 5 years when i AA addicted to love 1.3 but still fail to AA future dominators due to the eternal density struggle

[Celirra]

Re: DeadSignal/csenc Progress Thread

That Sylvan 1.1 is pretty good for your level I'd say, even despite the mediocre MA.
