Welcome Bach and congrats on the AAA!

I'll be posting some scores later.

**portalbob340** · 08-17-2015, 08:35 PM

Nice AAA, Bach!

**Bach96** · 08-17-2015, 08:42 PM

Thanks guys! I think that's (embarrassingly) my highest AAA lol. I did SDG Drizzling Rain 3-0-0-0 which is a 20. But that song is not very challenging rhythmically. I gotta say though Paranoia is kicking my ass right now. Forget Underground I am not getting a score even remotely good on that one lol.

And you guys can cal me Jake lol. I am yet to get added to the group chat on Skype... I'll go try and get that done right now.

Welcome aboard, Bach! I'm also from D1 and would like to say that this Rivalry made me play more FFR as a result. The skill is easily developed by beating a fixed list of files.

Also, I haven't been here for two weeks or so. Time to get some scores.

BitterTaste · 08-18-2015, 06:33 AM

Wow, this week is shaping into a great one. Believe me, there's going to be some improvements. Really happy about one AAA.

**Bach96** · 08-18-2015, 10:55 AM

Holy shit lol. BitterTaste you are definitely loads better than me. I hate paranoia. It is so random with the beat. My best so far is 61-4-9-32. Absolutely hate that one. I can't groove to it at all. I can't play something with no real rhythm.

Really? I thought Paranoia had really interesting rhythms. That's what makes it fun, in my opinion x3

**Deidara837** · 08-18-2015, 12:38 PM

(He likes the classical genre) You got this Jake c:

Nice scores BitterTaste those are really solid, Underground bringin the heat tho

**Bach96** · 08-18-2015, 02:17 PM

Yeah I prefer the less awkward rhythms of the classical and dance genre.

Aww, but the awkward rhythms are the fun part! x3

**Bach96** · 08-18-2015, 03:40 PM

I'm getting better though I have since improved my score on paranoia to 45-8-5-18

**KLiTz** · 08-18-2015, 03:50 PM

i really feel like Im on the cusp of low D4, I just havent broken through yet. =/

**KLiTz** · 08-18-2015, 05:00 PM

Welcome to NIA Rivalary Bach! Sorry, little late =)

**Bach96** · 08-18-2015, 05:15 PM

Haha thanks KLiTz!

**Bach96** · 08-19-2015, 09:08 AM

Ok here are my best scores on the other files so far:

Found this file really fun (partially because I already knew it! Gotta love the monstercat stuff)

This one gave me a really hard time at first. After playing it a few times, however, I got used to the odd rhythms and it became fun!

This one I found really fun because I have not heard this song in a loooong time. Weird remix but knowing the main rhythms already helped with the sight-reading.

This was just too much of the bouncing rhythm of the yellows into blues repeatedly... I am too accustomed to more consistent rhythms. My wrists start to ache because I can't play the main rhythm of the entire piece... Oh well I tried. Other than the weird rhythm that killed me, it's not that hard of a file. With some practice on other songs similar to this one I should be able to play it in a few weeks.

BitterTaste · 08-19-2015, 10:42 AM

Hmm, the avatar on the last screenshot looks familiar

**Deidara837** · 08-19-2015, 11:56 AM

Wrong copypaste bro haha

**portalbob340** · 08-19-2015, 11:57 AM

Can't believe I didn't catch that the first time, wow

In the end my brain was losing it, but managed to nail it.
