October 20th, 2023 - SDVX EG, Groove Coaster, Project DIVA, DaR, PIU PHOENIX, DDR A3

THE TRUE DAY OF RECKONING HAS ARRIVED, NOW IT'S REALLY TIME FOR MOTL5 GAMING!!! but first, isn't this card the absolute coolest??? i got it while checking into the event, slapped a crude drawing of my fursona onto it, and now i'm geared up n ready to destroy!!!

so i went to waffle house for the very first time with my family to eat breakfast (very good experience btw, i already miss the chocolate waffles), then we set off to spend the whole day at the mall and GUESS WHO I FOUND FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

IT'S BOMBER IN REAL!!! IN THE FLESH!!! WITH HIS ICONIC LACH TOWEL!!! AND HE KICKED MY ASS AT SDVX!!! (but he gave me haruka e-amuse pass to compensate :])

always wanted to meet him in person and the dream had become REAL, SUPER COOL EXPERIENCE!!!

also random tangent but while we were playing sdvx, it turned out the PIU Phoenix kit was installed overnight and was being played while we were playing?? just last night it was XX... but i guess now i'd finally get a taste of the new system for the first time!

since all the dance game cabs (except DaR) were occupied for tourneys, i decided to warm up with the alternative... the busted old unused cabs! gc is so broken whyyy

bonus: HAPPY FAMILY feat. moca and uli!!! (the tiny kohammy is mine)

but now, after all those exhilarating meetings and fun times, it's time for the real deal, my personal action moment of the event... it was TOURNEY TIME!! STARTING WITH PIU PHOENIX!!! warmups were simple, trying out the new songs and getting used to the pads,

but then, it was the real deal vs MajinnTy in a waterfall-style bracket... and after almost getting wrecked with the top-right arrow dropping continuously... i managed to beat him 2-1 and took 2nd place in the pool!!! but since it's waterfall format (i didn't realize this until later), i got thrown into the redemption pool with everyone else and wouldn't get to play until later... but in retrospect that was STILL such an impressive victory.

so once the redemption pool started, i got put up against EMCAT, who had been slowly upgrading from level 2 up to here. it was a weird match, but i hypothetically managed to 2-0 in my set, getting this sick 985k on beat of the war! but once again, it wasn't enough to beat the acc gods in the pool, PacRob and Ty, and i ended up 3rd out of 6 in the bracket, which left me a little dejected to see i wouldn't have my dark horse moment in my first tourney... but in retrospect i worked against the odds and managed to do really well!!! such a nice showing personally, and i'm excited to train some more and try again some other time! (also the 2nd image is from the commentary that my friend watched when i was up which is why i mentioned the dark horse moment, forever alone...)

but NOW!!! IT WAS TIME FOR THE 2ND AND LAST TOURNEY OF MINE FOR THE NIGHT, THE ONE THAT WOULD SEAL MY POTENTIAL OVERALL LEGACY, THE DDR A3 TOURNAMENT!!! unlike the previous PIU tourney, this was a round robin format where all 4 players got to play against each other once in a best-of-three set. and after a set between two others in my pool, i was up for some back-to-back sets, starting with LUBANAHHHH

having warmed up already with pump, i decided to pick long train runnin' challenge for my warmup to confuse the commentators, but then the REAL action began. our first song was lubanah's pick, New York Evolved (Type A) DSP-13 (fucked up), which i dominated solely thanks to MA! and then when it was my pick, i PFC'ed Yoidore Shirazu ESP-13 on-stream once again, taking the set 2-0!!

next up was against KINDLADY/Zaphine, where we both went in without warmup and played Xepher CSP-15 (Zaphine's pick) and Mess With My Emotions ESP-12 (my pick), and i took the set 2-0 again!! except with such a close call on Mess With My Emotions...

and finally in my pool, i played against MisterGuy in both Step Machine ESP-14 (my pick) and Healing Vision (Angelic Mix) ESP-13 (MisterGuy's pick), where i would just barely win Step Machine by 2 points (even got clipped on the Ohio DDR channel), and then PFC Healing Vision to claim my 2nd in-tourney PFC, taking the set once again 2-0 and advancing to level 9 with a perfect performance!!!

level 9 came and i was put up against SnowStorm/SIM, thejurok, and gabbyjay, which would be where my demise would come... only before a bunch of cab crashes! no scores for most of these unfortunately, but i was bested 0-2 by SnowStorm on Revolutionary Addict ESP-13 and PARANOiA Revolution DSP-14 (my MA wasn't quite up to par on either songs, probably exhaustion from only eating before my pump tourney...)

for my set against jurok though, i won my first pick; roppongi EVOLVED Ver.D ESP-15, even despite forgetting to disable my sudden+ before the speedup!!! i forgot what his pick was, but i lost it and lost the tiebreaker too, MAX 300 DSP-12, in order to lose the set 1-2...

then lastly, the final and most ultimate set... the one against longtime Black Flag Academy admin and potential rival, GABBYJAY!!! this set was super funny because we both won each other's picks (he won Bang Pad(Werk Mix) ESP-13, i won osaka EVOLVED (TYPE1) DSP-13), and for the tiebreaker we got New Gravity CSP-14...

and after such an intense battle not shown on stream due to the sheer intensity and vulgarity (actually the stream was what was causing the cab to crash repeatedly), we finished the song and looked at each others' scores to see the results, and...

...by two points. i got a PFC up from a 988k, on-stream, not having seen the chart before, and yet i fell short by such a tight margin, losing the set once again 1-2...

but overall, super satisfying performance from both ends (and super funny reaction)!!! i loved this experience even if i didn't advance twice (which is fine, level 9 was more of a victory lap anyways LOL i was just a silly little teen playing against intimidating adults). but that did indeed conclude my tournament run at the mistaketh on the laketh, so until next time! thanks all who tuned in and cheered me on in chat, the support was so nice to read back at the hotel! but there's still 2 more days of the event to enjoy, so let's enjoy 'em!

August 14th, 2023 - DDR A3, Project DIVA

THE LONG AWAITED DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!! AFTER CENTURIES OF WAITING, MISSING SO MUCH CONTENT, AND THE KAC QUALIFIERS STARTING EVEN BEFORE THIS DATE, IT'S FINALLY TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO MAINTENANCE AND SAY HELLO TO OFFICIAL SUPPORT. COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM ROUND 1, IT'S...

...oh. guess something happened. as i would later find out, konami sent the wrong dongles to the white cabs here and caused them to lock up. and as such, US A3 is delayed another week...

but i still came all this way to play, so i wcarried on and played on the gold cab!! it wasn't a lot since it was kinda late already, but it was neat!

also, in project diva news, it's tokyo teddy bear's anniversary! so to commemorate it, i played the hard and failed the extreme in diva!!

March 28th, 2023 - Project Mirai, ProSeka

you know it's actually really easy to hack your 3DS

so easy in fact, that i managed to get Project Mirai before the stores shut down!! super fun game, i even get to annihilate Kagamine Rin in puyo in the same game

also guess i'm sharing these attempts on a friend's chart...

and then a brief return to JP to grind out a bit of the ranked season before it ends! still kinda in rough shape but still able to game as per usual

December 10th, 2022 - DDR A3, Project DIVA, DaR, Groove Coaster, NOISZ, DJMAX

HERE'S THAT LAST ARCADE SESH I WAS TALKING ABOUT

didn't get too many crazy scores on this day? but still had a bountiful session done until i came back !

(also since when did hibana get in dance around???)

last time playing NOISZ Arc Coda before the location test at SCM ends too...

also back at home, i tried testing the new PC i got with this upload of CODE NAME -ZERO- from the cytus DLC for DJMAX! unfortunately, though, the pc was too buggy and i had to return it before i left for mexico. would take a long while until i got my new, modern one...

October 29th, 2022 - IIDX 30, DDR A3, Project DIVA, Groove Coaster, ProSeka, Chrono Circle

TODAY'S THE DAY !!! IT'S HEREEEEE

IIDX RESIDENT LAUNCH TIME BAYBEEEEE

immediately turned into DJ PIERRE from the Philippines and started my all new DJ-ing quest with the new nightcore song !!!

thoughts so far? this is an AMAZING style . absolutely loving everything about it, art is awesome and 1080p feels surreal. it's the new generation !!!

but of course, it wouldn't be a complete session without the signature DDR and misc games!! this also being the session where i got my FIRST 17 AAA on DUAL STRIKER

quick DIVA and GC stuffs! + chrono circle jumpscare

EDIT: and then at home before the session; an FC on Ura-Omote Lovers Master Lv.13!!!

August 28th, 2022 - Arcaea, DDR A3, PIU XX, SDVX EG, DaR, Project DIVA

July 19th, 2022 - DDR A3, Project DIVA, DaR, PIU XX/Infinity, IIDX 29, Chrono Circle, WACCA Reverse

rewarding my escape from enstarrie hell by having a MASSIVE arcade session today (as evident by the numerous rhythm games in the title)

so let's start!! instead of the classic game (and the foremost one in the title), we're kicking it off with my first real set of diva!!!

and then my first set of the dancey around!!!

and then all DDR for rest of session (just kidding but woah that's a lot of ddr)

edit: okay i was sleepy and too lazy to point anything out about this session, but there are a few impressive deets i wanna write now that i'm energized. take for example, the sightread AAAs on Teleportation ESP-15 and ALBIDA ESP-16??? along with consistent 14 AAAs (or almost-AAAs in the case of Lindwurm). but most notably... my highest score yet on a 15, A FLAG ON GOOD LOOKING

then a teensy bit of PIU!!!

IIDX and chrono circle (very briefly)

and some wacca to close out the sesh!!!

BONUS: one-handed tokyo teddy bear on normal

April 16th, 2022 - ProSeka, PIU M, WACCA Reverse, DDR A3, PIU XX, Project Mirai

originally split this into two separate posts (one for proseka, another for arcade), but i feel it's easier to navigate and write (even if less pleasing to me) to include them both in the same post.

so let's get the proseka out of the way first!! (that, and since it's first chronologically on google photos for this day w). after an AP win and an AP draw, i finally moved up the ladder and achieved... GOLD!!! and also AP'ed Melty Land Nightmare on Master!!!

ughhh fine . i guess this happened as well; a random PIU M score after not seeing it for so long?? (tho it's not a really good one)

now we can FINALLY move onto the arcade side. warmed up on wacca by clearing a 13+...

...and then i finally decided to bite the bullet on moving to A3. just too much content (that means barely anything) that i wanted to experience, so here begins my arc of almost never playing A20 PLUS again...

and for second impressions (after they patched some missing stuff and shrunk the judgement font), it's actually pretty good ! got some fresh n funky scores before playing kusare to bid it farewell as it gets removed from the game soon...

i went to distract myself more w/ some pump, and since there were just 4 other guys hanging around there, we did the PRIME Opening Co-op x5 chart!!! along with a few other scores

then once i got back home, i went on JP and tried to re-AP some of my existing Master APs that i already had on EN

and FINEEEEE, i GUESS i'll include this one score that i got at 11pm. i was pressured into this by a friend, and while it's only the demo for now, i got my first Project Mirai score at night!!!
