Yeah I'm redoing all of the hacks before Sakuracon. Expect some REALLY cool stuff.

Also, forgot to mention. I passed my first 15 footer at Tom's house.

Max Forever. Oni steps. got a 72% or 73% on it. It's around 6 minutes or something. Not the best score, but hell, I remember 4 years ago I could barely pass it on my fingers hahaha. Oh we grow up so fast >.<

Tom took a video of it. I'm pretty sure he did. I'll ask him for it so you can have proof.

This is actually an old score from about a year ago.  It is what I consider my greatest sightread accomplishment.
In case you've never played this song, it's kind of like wild rush from DDR -- many small rises in bpm.  When I say sightread, I mean I have never heard or seen the song/chart, so that's why I'm so proud of it.



This one's new though from today.  I dropped a hold... (would have been 99.53)

Oh son....it's on <3

my best on that song right is 92.

My best is 889xxx on hdvo first pass too. Lets race to see who can AA it first haha

I'm in. I need to force myself to play that shitty song.

Although, the version I have is (obviously) fixed considerably. Is that fair?

Not really probably not fair, but who cares right?
it's on guys! Good luck!

I think most of HDVO is the same SN2 and X because if they turned it into all 16ths, there'd be far fewer steps, haha.  Just the gallops in the first half I think.

I was so close!  Oh yeah I guess I'll mention that I used mirror and that may constitute CHEATING lol

It's just that the beginning is all 12ths like it should be. That's going to help my MA and PA a hell of a lot. It's not hard at all now until the speed-up.

Ethan, if you meet that one dude and he's amenable to having vids taken, see if he'll do double.  I saw the groove radar lookin picture that you posted and he has got to be just plain ridiculous at double.  If I wanted to see someone good at 4 panel I'd just go to the midwest, but nobody here is that good at double.

I can ask, but you know how the groove radar works, right? It doesn't really have a lot to do with AAA's or marv timing.

If I remember correctly, you raise the stats like this:

Chaos- combo Chaos Oni a few times and you get 200
Voltage- 200 is impossible, you have to MFC FAXX oni to get it. Those who have sdg'd it (the best thus far) have like 198. so I guess that has to do with marv timing.
Stream- I think you have to play Pluto Relinquish Standard and combo it a bunch of times.
Air- play Dynamte Rave Air Special a bunch
Freeze- play D2R Freeze Special a bunch

so I don't actually know how good he is at double. I know he doesn't have a ton of WR's on double while he has almost all the easier ones on single, including some really retarded shit like 7p on on the bounce heavy and stuff. so I'll see what I can do; I kind of hoped of taking vids anyway.

I think most of the best double players are in Tokyo and Osaka, but I'll be going back to Honshu pretty soon so I can try and meet them then too.

I used to like to think I was really good at double and then last night I failed faxx heavy.  lol
granted, it was a sightread, but still ;__;

So I met T.T, sort of. Didn't really talk to him cause I was with a crowd and he was with his, so it just seemed awkward. The good news is he seems like a normal person, he has a girlfriend and shit, he just plays a SHIT ton of DDR. The disappointment is that he's only good at like 13's and down, above that he's mediocre to awful (like at 18's). Oh Japan.

Anyway I got this weird shit

:aaa #263- Dynamite Rave Oni (51p) extra stage, picked random, got this, used x3 which is too slow, felt weird man but I'm glad to have this shit out of the way. now to improve my MA hahaha. last DR also.
:aaa #264- La Senorita Virtual (43p) could not get the original

flagged Maximizer again, twice
had less than 20p on a thing called love and then fucked it up at the end for some reason, ended with 2g
flagged Uranus about three times on heavy, gotta get this.
passed Arabbiatta x3 random extra stage, no turn mods. improved my score actually. I'm gonna put this shit on left and AA it or something, it's just so stupid.

and that's that. I'm gonna go back on Sunday for an extended session and hopefully get to talk shop with T.T, he seems like a cool guy.

James I'm not sure what you want out of the dude on double, but if it's being good at shit like FAXX on double you're probably SOL. he's not even that good at it on single.

Today:

I dunno what the miss was, just a fluke I guess. Was about a third of the way in on a not hard part...

Also got another pass on Chromatic Blitz, just a 78 but was at the end of my play and I was by no means fresh. Lots of new 99s on some Flash songs I put on my chart as well
Woo speed and staminas getting better

Good job : )

This song is not off sync.



SIGHT READ!!!!!!



Also by far my greatest accomplishment today was when I played my friends simfile for Black or White by Michael Jackson, and A GROUP OF PEOPLE SANG THE ENTIRE SONG WITH ME WHILE I PLAYED!!!!

there was about 14 people total I think. Children too!

it all happened around 4:40

beat that bitches! It's one of the most awesome dancing game experiences I've ever had.

#265

really random

First time playing it at the arcade. Not too bad.

First time playing this in months.

A little bit of a sight read for this one.

First time playing this one ever. Steps threw me off a little lol

Raped the shit out of this song haha Video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p4BHLSuAgQ&feature=related

Last song of the day. This is my second pass. Beasted the beast
Here's a video of that one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50l_s9CQmsw

lol, third times a charm right?
I swear, this song is the first in awhile I honestly think I might be able to quad. No joke. It's just so consistent, I love it.
James played no bar. I did earlier too. I didn't expect to pass it either.

I was beating keby until the first long 16th run!!!

gg guys, good luck quadding that Keby...

JAMES: T.T is not at all adverse to being filmed playing double, so is there anything in particular you want to see?

Well I wanted to see hard things but you said he's not all that good with speed/stamina, so anything.  I like doubles videos.

Oh sure, I'll leave something since I visit here once in a while anyways

# 942 - Brilliant 2 U Stream Challenge Double


# 943 - Dub-I-Dub 2008 X-edit Heavy Double

lol Aaron

and James, I'm seeing him again on Thursday I think (Japan time of course) so I'll ask him then. also he might be a bit better at harder stuff than I thought... when I saw him get 15p on Unreal randomly, he said he "really liked the double chart" so that could mean anything.

oh also these
