[Concluded] 11th Official Tournament - Round 8

[TheToaphster]

Finally got a 20g run of the song. Can definitely improve though

Well the refresh rate is 60hz, but I'm not too sure if the monitor is. I'm assuming it is.

Yeah that's really really odd that you're getting ghosting. Maybe someone else has some ideas but that's all I really know that could cause it.

I know the question was directed at zenith but I'm prettyhigh and methods of improvement are all subjective anyway, so time for some words
since every notable score of mine were complete accidents.

I think the trick is just trying to find the equilibrium between calm/relaxed and motivated/focused. Not giving a fuck yet still striving to push beyond your perceived limitations. rather than think, know your score doesn't count because what ever your able to achieve is far from what you're truly capable of.

Exploit a positive mindset rather than embracing an anxious one. after all it's just a game there's no point getting all gittery and excited every time you press some buttons well

I literally do the exact opposite.

I start swearing at myself out loud as if I'd just fucked up the AAA. It works.

it's like the cod kid who screams at his tv when he dies, sure he's determined but ultimately he's being triggered by a few pixels, thats pre sad.

Oh I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that serious haha
AAAing a song is always a happy and fun thing - different people just have different ways of dealing with nerves
Swearing to make nerves go away ≠ loathing yourself and not having fun

Also if we weren't all at least slightly competitive we wouldn't be playing this game very much

Swearing at yourself intentionally doesn't imply you have to be mad or even care all that much in the first place. Everything else you said derails from that assumption, and the link with fun would be wrong if it was true anyway.

As Mike said, it's just a method of fighting nerves.
"haha look at this shitlord ruining a good run again at easy cheetos yet again", or something. It works and I'm actually laughing internally when I do this.

it's pseudo-psychological warfare, if I make my self a stupid target and bother teh competition, they might actually make an effort to get a good score

And don't you worry about this part

[Mourningfall]

lol, each to their own I guess. knew their was a reason I was still d6 best division

There will be days where it's not as bad, and I completely forget that it exists until it shows up randomly.

my life

fuck it

[MikeShinoda12345]

the blurriness happens sporadically for me and i always thought it was just lag
I lag a lot though

[Jonlovesddr]

i'm gonna get a tattoo on my left ass cheek that says "i love bursts"

[igotrhythm]

I just got my second FC run on Divinity Garden. Never mind I got almost twice the goods as the equivalent of my best run (and that's just counting the goods!), but this thing freaking shits on me. Either "lol nope you didn't hit the key correctly, so have a miss" or "hahaha wouldn't it be hilarious if I lagged during the 48th staircase that probably has a cameljack in it?"

[badman7772]

i'm over here trying it again and now i'm like "how in god's name did i even get that?"

[igotrhythm]

Right? I'm lucky if I get your score in that one part. You know the one.
