this is what happens when you stop playing for 7 years

qualy · 03-2-2014, 06:28 AM

or so? Last time I played was in 2006. I filled the time with WoW raids and real life stuff.

Got back into it because I felt a wild hair. I'm hoping to start improving again, and moreover gain my stamina back.

Note: I was one handed before, and I am still one handed. I stick with the older files because a lot of the newer ones are just way too hard for me to even think about passing right now.

The songs I'm posting, in 2006/7 I was working on AAAA on V, AAA on Senorita, and FC on Love Tropicana (actually was very quickly approaching AAA at the same time with the FC if I recall correctly).

This is what it looks like now.

Posting to establish a base of where I am now and hopefully keep motivated to keep improving...

Oh man, good to see you again qualy! The one-handed community isn't quite what it used to be, but there are still a few players who post scores and this play-style seems to be on a recent comeback

If you're interested in some newer simfiles, check this thread: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=133223

qualy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you had almost quadded V? jesus.

there are some newer simfiles which should be in the difficulty range you're looking for. I would highly recommend the FFR Community Pack series. the oldies are great too though

A fellow one hander returns? I must comment! From what I remember about Love Tropicana that file is pretty tricky one handed on account of all the freezes. Seniorita isn't bad, either - but I only *barely* remember that file so maybe my judgement is a bit off.

Keep up the good work, and I hope you get back into playing one handed full time!

Thanks guys for the warm welcome

also, what's the version of SM people are using nowadays? I downloaded SM 5 just because it was the most recent version but it seems like people don't really use it from posts I've seen here.

Haha I expected danceguy to be the only one who remembered me

o/

I think it's a 50/50 split in our community between using SM5 and using older versions. 3.95 is still pretty sturdy, and 3.9+ (I think that's the version) can be used to play online. I'm a fan of SM5 myself. gotta have that Ultralight theme.

it looks like Jousway's site is down at the moment? that's where a lot of people grab themes and noteskins. I don't have a lot, but if you're interested, I can dropbox some for ya!

These look like my scores lol

SM5 theme is definitely nice to play with the ultralight theme. Simple, yet very effective. 8)

Was down for me when i checked about 2-3 weeks ago too. :/

that's a serious bummer, wow. maybe we should get a collaborative project going where we make (non-simfile) SM resources available?
