Don't give in! Stand up to him!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! @_@

Also a minor accomplishment

Made some new personal bests today!!!!

I finally got this on my third try with a few days in between. I literally was burying myself a grave and barely came back alive. I wasn't going to fail this song!!!!


This one was sight read for me. Not too bad. Doesn't really feel like a 15


Finally passed this. I had tried it once before but was too scared to play it again. I needed to stop being crappy and just play it.


@M477 Awesome Job on your quad or whatever the pump equivalence is. Been playing Pump myself but sticking around the 8's and 9's. The game has been growing on me

Meh...

@Rose - Generally 7s through 10s will get you used to Pump-style patterns (i.e. 159, 357, 1539, 3517, 1759, 3951 to name a few). The thing with Pump is that double-stepping will usually land you in a tough position to tackle the next pattern after a turn. Unlike DDR and ITG, there are many more combinations of turning other than the simple crossover. You should try to execute the turns as best you can.

To name a few, here's some turn-practice songs:
Canon D S9 (160 bpm) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5TNQcWRceQ
Love is a Danger Zone 2 S9 (162 bpm) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qDudzgFJuY
ASDF S9 (170 bpm) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5wGkwBPWSk
Pumptris Quattro S7 (153 bpm simple spinning :3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKFZ1Z7eXpg
*Sfxazure (Ben) if you know more, please chime in :3*

In case you don't have a USB for the game, the code to enable Full Mode is 175939571 during the song select screen. If you use a USB, you bypass that entirely. I highly recommend using one to keep track of your scores and such. (^^)b

Now onto scores:
[no screenshot] SS'd Bad Girl Good Girl D13 - I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet on the Acme machine.

Picked this via random

Overdue

Never again

@sfxazure - still no SS of Log-In S18; was too busy beasting this

NAPALM S22 used MEGA DRAIN! Sucked health from M477!

O and that was without stage-breaking too.

I am not Ben but a few recommendations I like:
Moonlight 10 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWLucwcV8qs#t=35
Mistake 11 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq9UTP2tRws#t=10

I had some others but I guess they were removed on Fiesta 2. Too bad.

Edit: By the way, there's a US Pump Festival happening this year in LA in November. Kind of cool that stuff still happens; you guys should try to make it.

Here are some good ones:
Pump Me Amadeus S9 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALXR_nP-uno
Log-in S10 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUCNxpvvxGQ
Interference S11 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jyxVbS3K9k

Yay


Stomach ache near the end


Second 14 ever! This one hurt LIKE A MUTHERBETCH

If it weren't for Chris recommending this and, Abbye, Allan, and Nick for pushing me on this one, I wouldn't have been able to pass another 14! So glad I could meet you guys again today

I passed Self vs Self on Expert 13 and Touch The Angel 13 but the pictures of those shots on my phone were broken

@ Kevin,

Nice work today man! I'm glad we were there to watch you beast it! Congrats on all your successes today, and hopefully you'll have plenty more to come! 

I have now passed all of Pendulum










I'm up to AAA #106

You have to work for it. You have to learn the songs, you have to feel comfortable with certain patterns. You have to know when to conserve and when to haul. You have to have confidence and you have to always breathe. It has taken me a really long time and I'm sure I could have finished it sooner but motivation is a big key.
Just keep pushing and you'll get there.

Also Abbey that ShowDown is WAY better than my first pass(on the upgrade) I think I got a 91. You're officially way more beast than I. I haven't been hauling to much in the past month.

Chris put some shoes on and replay these 17's

Talk about score dump. Goodness.

NEVER! 

@Andyburns Congratz!!!!!See there definitely needs to be a Pendulum achievement. That would be really awesome. You would be our first official PNWBemani member to complete it. I have been trying to check them off my list too. I haven't even touched the 16's yet. I have one more 15 to go, I still need to play Hold your color bi polar remix.

Oh yeah, those are some scary DDR scores, way too good

Yesterday I actually got out of the house and played on some public machines, It had been a while.

Started the day out right with taking a pump score having not played in pretty much forever.
At this point taking scores on this machine is a joke because Sean literally has the high score for every single song.


Followed up with some SN2 and minus some slight under sensitivity it was fairly enjoyable. (Not a betson cab)
 
Then did this by request from Karl



THEN I hit up Ground Kontrol only to learn people have been wrecking the nonstops and Oni courses.

SUP BBH!


new AAA


Evan and I did a thing

And I normally am horrid at reverse


All in all not a bad day. Welp time to go play!

I just love redoing this song over and over. I'm using 13s in my warmups now


Sightread. Fuckin' exhausting.


Finally passed this one. Good thing I didn't DIE NOW.


I redid this one so I could get a picture of it.


Died right before the Green Greens "break" :<



3rd ever 14, holy ass I'm on fiyah.
I look like a butch lesbian.

This may have been the first time I streamed for exactly 15 minutes straight.


God dang, this is so damn tiring. Foot switches, jumps, and BURSTs.

Welp, that's my score dump for today.

Sick Ocean Lab pass. That is a brute haul for sure.

Thanks. I suppose it should be an easy pass considering it's the same 64-measure run copied and pasted for the entire song. But I still don't have very good stamina to FA this for 15 minutes straight :/

@ Kevin,

What a beast! 

Lol @ "I look like a butch lesbian".

Nice job, Kevin on the 14! I remember my first pass on this...it was a 90%. And that was probably last summer. Keep it up, and you'll be up there with the big boys :p

@Kevin Hey awesome job on your Ocean Lab pass. I just recently tried and passed it myself. So that fact that you passed it this early on is pretty crazy. You definitely got determination. For me, this chart keeps you mentally challenged. It sort of just drags on but you got to just clear your head.

Next is Kirby Medley, right?
