got a really good score over at the B&I last Saturday. i didn't even realize i got 0 greats on this until i looked at the screenshot later. it's my first 9 done on pad where i got 0 greats as far as can remember.
Congratulations on your first FEC (Full Excellent Combo). A little more practice and you might get a 99% soon.

Not sure who those people are.  Embarrassed

Are they gods at ITG?  Lips sealed

I dunno why I've always been opposed to Facebook, lol. BUT, I do have access to it, so I will check out all the info on the tournament.

Thanks for setting all this up Sara!

Yo my second 11 quad!



Sight read(this didn't feel like a 13 but I was pretty cold)


another sightread/no cmods woo!


New 15 pass even though this feels like a 14


So new high score on this but the up arrow stopped working midway during this/it was way sticky.
I tried to do another run and I got half way though with about 130 excellents and then decent/wayoff streamed a who section because the up arrow kept sticking. So expect an 97-98 in the weeks to come.


Also SOON

Good work Andy! That 17 man! Almost had it! Keep pushing it man, I know you will get it!

Haven't been playing much lately... Losing the desire to play, even thought about quitting. Sad

I wish I had more access to new charts and stuff, been play the same charts over and over. Makes things a little boring. Sucks the USBs still don't work properly, I don't have much of a chance to practice over half of the packs for the tournament.  Sad

Ugh...  Angry

Thanks Chris! Yeah I've been pushing pretty hard to get my stamina up. Hoping to get more 16's and my first few 17's in the next few weeks before the tournament.
Don't give up man! Just talk to Tony and he'll put more material on the machine. He's really good about that stuff.
It's a little hard though because stuff like speedcore can't all be on the machine because it has bad words or bad images.
Evan really wants you to get an 18 and so does Sara and myself! I know you can do it. Everyone hits dead spots but pushing though just makes you better.
Maybe try focusing on things you don't normally play? Quadding gimmicked charts or something.
Also that 17 is like 227 for days but I'll get it.
Anyway keep playing man, keep beasting.

Thanks Andy!  Cheesy

Working on those 18's, rough stuff. We Luv Lama (18) is brutal... I get about 4:30 minutes in and I crap out and Marunouchi Surviver (18) is just plain dumb, lol.

I know, I gotta keep pushing but it is just so hard to want to keep playing sometimes!  Sad

Ian (Archi) (also my boyfriend) wrote the pendulum pack, is better than rynker at stamina + footspeed. He is pretty much amazing at the game.

Dirk (Dirksy) has passed a ton of 18s, but his FA needs work Smiley he is a socks player tho.

Demir (Drazu) has passed a bunch of 17s, working on his footspeed for 17s.

Oliver plays mostly 13-15s. I think he recently got his first 15 pass.

YES YOU GUYS WE ALL NEED TO GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER. GET. IT. TOGETHER. NO. BITCHES. ALLOWED.

Also I passed a 16 today on a sightread. It was lol. I also attempted a bunch of 17s and got into the songs but overall didn't do anything exciting. I almost passed gate openerz, did a bunch of other crap. My pads are really bad. There are a couple 17s I think I can get within the next couple weeks. I'm going to push really hard to be consistent by the tournament.

OMG! I missed this! Tell her to KEEP BEASTING, it would be very impressive to see abbye attempting 16s during the tournament. Will you guys be at acme on Saturday? I might go there to play (maybe)

This is nothing I can really brag about but I'd like to post a personal achievement that I... achieved a little while ago.

This is the first ever song I did not miss anything on the ITG machine (albeit I still have a shit ton of Greats and I can never be perfect at any song yet lol)
Welp, I'm making progress, and I'm definitely not the same player I was when I was a 12 year old playing standard mode on DDR.

I'm hoping that with practice, I can actually fully concentrate on the game because I still feel like I "let" myself mess up and end up getting at LEAST one miss and sort of "ignore" my leg movements.
Anyone have advice on how I can beast like you guys?

@ Kevin

When I watch you play on Sundays the first thing I've noticed was your stance/form is wide. What I mean is that your feet tend to hit the entire panel. If you watch players like Mad Matt, Happyfeet, Parrax, Rynker, etc., they are very narrow in their stance.

For me, when I play I try to be narrow by thinking about keeping half my foot on the center panel at all times.

For instance, when I hit the up arrow, from the middle of my foot down to my heel remains on the center panel. Also, I think about looking robotic. My upper body doesn't turn, sway, and shift. I try to prevent extra movement. Extra movement leads to burning out faster.

Also breathing is very important! When I play hard song like 16s I focus on breathing. I breathe through my nose and out of my mouth, always! Never through your mouth. When you breathe through your mouth, you generally use your chest to intake air. When you use your chest, again you are making unnecessary movements. When you breathe through your nose you should be using your stomach to intake air. Using your mouth/nose to take in air and you feel your chest expanding, you are breathing wrong. When you intake air with your chest, you are using muscles in your shoulders and chest which can fatigue you faster.

To put it simply:
1: Work on footwork, narrow your stance.
2: Stabilize your upper body.
3: Breathe through your nose, and fill your stomach not your chest!

Kevin, it depends on what you're striving for. Accuracy or Stamina? I'd say most of the advice APHR offered is for intense play on hard charts. If you want to focus on accuracy and getting higher scores, I could offer you some tips.

Any advice would help guys, I'd like to beast at ITG someday so that I can at least be a peer lol, even if I won't be flawless at the game.

EDIT:
So, how does one not suck as much as I do?

I'm an old diddler from "back in the day".  I probably don't have the best advice to give these days. I think PEZ and the "newer crowd" will be who you want to take advice from. Plus, they'll be more likely to see you in the arcade and help you out.

Now, if you want advice on how to AAA, then I could give you some help. But I'm dead serious, most of my advice is completely contradictory to what you need to do to beat 15's.

If you're talking about timing for just regular ol' songs, that's just something I have to develop on my own since it's not a technical thing.. ya gotta feel it.

As for learning how to beat 15s... yeah I'm not going to be able to do that in a 100 years lol.
