alas! tourney day ended yesterday, and -- while we did lose (ofc) -- we still got to try the finale and retry the encore for Synthesis., which was now released publicly with the tournament!!! i was still kinda traumatized from the experience that was the encore tourney sightread, so i instead went straight to play the somewhat easier finale... and i managed to take away a sweet MAX-11 AC from it!!! after that, i overcame my fears of the encore and tried it for a bit... yup, just as traumatizing as i remembered. but hey, i gave it a few more tries and managed to get an FC with 5 greats, i'll take it!!! (maybe i'll get the AC sometime later, but i'm not really feeling it rn...

no matter though, because since today was a work-free weekend day (as rare as a blue moon for me until i finish my stay)... i was free to go to round 1 and video game!!! so once i finished testing both my tripod and my headphones, i packed my tote bag and headed straight to gaming... which i Deeply Regretted because Oh My God there were so many people it was impossible to get any set in... eugh, but we managed! only got to play one set of iidx total, but i got two neat clears and an AA fail on Bahram Attack -猫又Master Remix- [SPA-10]!

following this, i saw a free/abandoned credit on the GITADORA Drummania cab... i'd kinda been eyeing the lately, but have only ever caught it when the area was full of DRS players or when it was e-amuse maintenance time . but now, i could play it without even inserting any credits!!! and so i did!!! got some insanely good scores too, as if i'd been improving hard at the game without even playing !!!

and now, a brief share of sdvx scores!!! unsurprisingly with such a busy arcade, the sdvx session was also extremely busy, so i kinda had to line up in a card line and wait my turn a few times... but once it was freed up, i hopped on and started gaming on a few 17s -- couldn't get the excessive clear on Death by Glamour (though i might be able to get it later...), but i got a VF upscore and AAA on the MXM-17!!! as well as a sightread EXC clear and AAA+ on Lost Emotion feat. nomico [MXM-17]!!!

a few arcaea shenanigans while waiting my turn between sdvx sets, including somewhat of a choke on BUCHiGiRE Berserker [FTR-10+] as well as a massive upscore on Bookmaker (2D Version) [BYD-10]!!! i hate that ending So Much i could so easily get a PM if it weren't for that stupid out of bounds pattern urghh

wanted to play some piu but it was (you guessed it) busy, so i instead played some SMX after some ddr friends who were playing it finished and offered the cab up!! i may kinda suck at it, but DMT is such a banger oh my god i need to try the Wild chart sometime (plus a 95k on Beautiful Man -The Eurobeat Remix- [FULL 22]

PIU cab freed itself up so i hopped straight on it, not really expecting much but just wanting to play some... my absolute Shock when i actually managed to get some neat scores like an AAA+ on MURDOCH D20, and a sightread AA+ clear on Hercules D20!!! feeling good about my skill now, i tried to play the Quree Set now that i was reinvigorated and actually cleared every song from the Fake D16 to the Fake D19!!! (it seems i used up all my stamina after those songs though, as i couldn't get any good clears afterwards...

lastly, while i don't have any scores (only a video), i played some music diver too!!! mostly just for mesmerizer, but i had a ton of fun sightreading the chart!!! i still have to cut the video and compress it so i can upload it to twitter, but i'll do so once i'm free...! for now, enjoy this tripod test video of me playing Synthesis. [ENC-14+] at home, where i actually kinda locked in and got only 3 crits in the intro

January 2nd, 2024 - vivid/stasis, IIDX 31, GITADORA

TRAINING ARC, BEGIN!!!

Okay, so today the vivid/stasis Dualia Ascensia tournament qualifiers opened up, but the problem is that I haven't played in ages! Looking at the charts in the qualifiers and seeing all the unplayed content I have yet to catch up on, I needed to work my ass off to get to the top level Fast. In my current state, I'm no match at all for the greats like Aurica and Spartan that are on Every Single Leaderboard. And so, with the inspiration I got from seeing Zolder's scores, it was time for my very own training arc!

I started off by grinding ENERGY SYNERGY MATRIX on ENCORE (tech chart my beloathed) since it was Really not my strong suit, but with more plays and more watching youtube videos to see what I did wrong, I saw that I was slowly but surely improving at memorizing and executing some of the tech! That's right, I was very much gaining MUSCLE MEMORY required for a chart of this caliber! And after several attempts from start to finish (including a ton where I restarted whenever I got a miss or slight acc choke), I did it... I got a full combo! With 25 criticals, 1 great, and 2 goods! Though unfortunately, those groups were a result of not fully knowing the chart, and I still needed to study up on it to get where I wanted to be; potentially a single digit crit AC? or maybe even a MAX...

Moving on, I tried unlocking some songs and found this peculiar chart in Final Landing that I just so happened to meet the requirements to obtained! So unknowingly, I opened the chart and oOOH GODDD THAT'S SO VICIOUS

Yeahhh, so I tried sightreading 3.1V.C1 FIN-14+ and was greeted with extremely chaotic tech that I had to survive on a challenge gauge, as well as with an extremely laggy background since I didn't know how to turn it off! Gonna have to study this one too, I still have yet to get to it but I'm working on it slowly but surely...

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for! Despite all the writing I've done just for the vivid/stasis scores I got on this date, the REAL highlight was when I went to Round 1 to meet up with some extremely cool people, including CHI XU (who arranged the meetup while just visiting the area), and Frums!!! We played a bit of DDR, and while unfortunately I didn't take any pictures (except for the login screen pictured below), it was a blast nonetheless! (and super funny when i turned on dot arrows and tried surviving)

The scores finally started coming in when we went to go play IIDX and tried matching in arena mode, though we later found out that only one person could be on one cab at a time if we wanted to play Arena. So then, each of us played Free+ and I was paired with Frums to compete (with random on, of course) on some hyper charts! After two songs played (and a bitter interaction with a guard who was checking IDs), I decided to say FUCK IT and, seeing that Frums had Sakazuki unlocked (still not default despite being way back in bistrover!! 3 full years ago almost!!), played my first ever 10 on hyper. And to my surprise (with a very big choke section in the middle), I CLEARED IT!!! MY FIRST 10 ON RANDOM, AND PROBABLY 4TH 10 OVERALL???

Moving on from IIDX shortly before I had to go, we found the Gitadora cabs empty (except for one discontinued credit in the Drummania cab) and goofed off with it for a little bit, but then after Chi saw my Epic Awesome drummania skills (they were very bad), we did a co-op session on some random songs and got a score out of it! (Two scores, actually, but we don't talk about the chaos of the 2nd one)

And unfortunately, that was it!! Wish I could've stayed for longer, but I was to be kicked out anyways and I needed to be back home at a reasonable time anyways. Still, I really enjoyed the meetup and hope I can meet with Chi, Frums, and everyone else sometime once again! I'll keep it short here since I already wrote around like 20 paragraphs describing the whole meetup in my personal journal (hands off!!), but trust me when I say it was amazing! 'Til the next time I go to Round 1 then, PEACE!

also had to keep sharp on the PIU infinity cab before the tourney since the XX cab was absolute Dogshit
