Staiain and I both need to be in this tournament when I visit him in December.

[samurai7694]

livestream it! (even better if it's between December 12th and December 19th during the final round)

[smartdude1212]

So long as I don't have a final exam on December 13th, my plan is to visit him December 11th-14th. (otherwise it'd be the week before)

Five hours of daylight makes for opportune FFR playing.

Funny enough, that third jump stream section is my weakspot.

I get burned out there and for some reason, I can't do the patterns as fluently.

quit. this file is absolutely stupid for D7 in my opinion because of the luck involved. have fun everyone else.

[TC_Halogen]

Better choice for D7 than the 10 minute AAAs -- there's nothing in this file that cannot be done physically without cheating. It's a better song choice than a snoozefest jumpstream file that every single player can blast through, and it's not luck, it's skill and control. It also takes visual precision.

If frame conversions were 60 fps or something where 1 frame would not make a noticeable difference in arrow placement, it wouldn't be luck.

The snoozefest parts of Love Hurts are the empty sections. There isn't anything boring about the jumpstreams.

Dishevel's trills definitely involved luck because I had to subconsciously translate the trills into 16ths from my taps the entire time. The arbitrary color placement and music screwed me over because both of those combined are too misleading.

D7 skype chat so I can talk to scottiena pls

[DossarLX ODI]

Is there going to be a PM sent to all the remaining D7 players about this skype group?

[hi19hi19]

Dishevel strikes me as the kind of file that is really fun to play casually up until you start being able to reliably SDG it, but absolute hell to whore if you are specifically going for an AAA

I took my hands off of the keyboard on the last quad of the song. I prayed for luck and tried rushing my hands back to my setup in hopes that I would somehow catch that last arrow, but luck wasn't on my side. I hit a key on my setup, though (hence the miss and the boo, lol).

I'm going to laugh if I get eliminated because of that, hahahaha.

..And this shit just happened to me. And I did good on the ending of HAELEQUIN too DDD:

It's times like these where I think I should be using a lower speedmod than 2.5

Snoozefest is obviously relative -- I'm comparing D7's skill in being able to do this file over Love Hurts. AAAs would have shown up immediately on Love Hurts because there is absolutely nothing complicated about the rhythmic structure of the file; it's straight 16ths. Dishevel has more pattern complexity, and actually requires good visual accuracy to get through.

Looking at the file in DDream, the color placement isn't arbitrary - the song happens to be complexly quantized in many areas. Changing the BPM for a song for colored improvements is completely subjective and only should be solicited if the stepartist wants to do it. The song is obviously electronically sequenced and everything is synced properly at 210 BPM given that BPM changes aren't required for major song transitions.

People can call "luck" for things like that, but the only thing that legitimately should be considered "luck" is something that obviously can't be hit/sustained through physical means (do i smile wall, Husigi Usagi wall, etc). Just because a file is extremely colorful and doesn't use proper quantization doesn't mean that it requires "luck".

Let's imply that all players with the ability to read non-quantized rhythms are just lucky! (Hint: they're not -- come on, lol)

Oh, I was half joking, haha! I can definitely make this group for the sake of the tournament, if others want to be a part of it. <3

it's "overstepped" because you can't play the song
