Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two - COMPLETED

[emerald000]

Now, I only have to find out how to be bad at FFR. I have not been able to get over 1000 yet...

[Tasselfoot]

it is annoyingly hard and counter-intuitive to be bad at FFR to compete at round 2.

[MrRubix]

You don't have to be bad -- just play very well with no music and a lower cut.

[jonathanasdf]

I try that...

I know i shouldn't do hard songs. Mashing usually gets you 2/3 perfects....

but too lazy to play songs that have lots of notes, but isn't fast or w/e....

[EI_Tizzy]

Rubix is definitely right... if you can AAA a song, you could potentially get 0 Perfects on a song if every note was hit 3 frames sooner. I think I saw something like this somewhere, it might not be 100% correct. I think this is what you get:

Good (Late)
PERFECT <-- Sensors
Perfect (Early)
Perfect
Good
Average

If this is wrong, go ahead and fix it plz.

[MrRubix]

Late Good
Late Perfect (on the sensors)
Mid Perfect
Early Perfect
Good
Average

Basically what you can do is reverse screencut so that relative to your normal playfield, you *act* as if you're trying for strong PA, that is, you're still trying to aim for optimal accuracy at the top edge along the screencut, but you're operating in earlier frames.

[EI_Tizzy]

That's what I do. Also, I think it helped me to try a bunch of different songs and find a tempo I felt comfortable with. If a song was too slow, I'd always end up hitting Perfects and Boos... if it was too fast, I'd keep hitting late and getting Perfects.

[Tasselfoot]

stop helping other people Rubix. :-p.

[MrRubix]

I find it more personally satisfying to win even when the method is known I'm all for intensity

I feel kinda like the villains of DBZ or something -- "I want you to power up to your maximum before we fight... it's been so long since I've had a true battle!"

[devonin]

Updated. To remind, the next round goes up at 10:00pm EST today 6 hours, 10 minutes from now, and will be an FFR-based main round again.

[Tasselfoot]

i've just lost a bit of respect for you rubix.... DBZ? c'mon.

[MrRubix]

C'mon it was a totally relevant notion :P Everyone knows what DBZ is

[Tasselfoot]

not i.

[smartdude1212]

was a ****ing retarded show, that's what

'sup guys my beaded brow of sweat can make an episode woooo'

[MrRubix]

it was hilarious in its retardation

*good guy stares*
*bad guy stares*
*random chatter about how strong they are*
*random face shots*
*more staring*
*more chatter*
*insert random fight*

[jonathanasdf]

well well well....

ITS OVER 9000!!!!

ok sorry.

Uhh, the problem is, since I CAN'T AAA songs... (check my AAA list...) That means I cant get 0 perfects either...

[EI_Tizzy]

Yeah, that show was fun. 15 minutes of screaming and powering-up w/ 10 minutes of chatter about how strong they are.

Also, I'm calling the next challenge... LONGEST STREAM OF EXCITE BIKE AAA'S.

[devonin]

Also, I'm calling the next challenge... LONGEST STREAM OF EXCITE BIKE AAA'S.

Ironically, that's potentially one way to do it...

[devonin]

Round is up.

[EI_Tizzy]

4,908... meh, hoping to improve
