BIG BIG BIG SESSION TODAY!!! ALERT ALERT!!! we continue starting with IIDX and either kicking ass or getting ass kicked... but overall i got an AAA on an 8!!! very nice stuff!!!
then grinded out sdvx for a bit... (just checking out the new valk gen cosmetics i got)
then it's time to clean up folders/floors in ddr! starting with the triple tribe crossover from iidx and moving onto 14s
until a local came and unlocked the new 25th anni challenge charts with me! and i got super close to getting my first 17 PFC!!! alas, it wasn't meant to be, but some other day perhaps...
redoing this post because the original description kinda sucked (not really past me's fault, i was just in a rush to post as many images as possible while in my hotel)
oh well; excuses, excuses, show us the GOOD STUFF (GOOD SCORES)
well for IIDX, i decided to use it again as a warmup to see if it'd help with playing DDR! while i didn't get any one notable score here (aside from finally clearing Te Extraño Mucho SPH-9 after 3 total tries), i felt my overall acc/consistency improve which is EXACTLY why i used it as a DDR warmup
transitioned to playing DDR with this knowledge in mind and proceeded to use None of it as i played Uppers instead (and also a bit of Infinity, where i did co-op with someone else at the arcade !)
BUT!!! I GFC'ED LINDWURM ESP-17!!!! AN INSANELY BRUTAL CHART!!! MASSIVE
(NOTE: 2 scores (i think IIDX scores?) also missing due to 10 image limit, update on PC when possible)
NEW MONTH, NEW ARCADE SESSION, LET'S GO!!!
testing out this strat of warming up on IIDX first, then unleashing the acc on DDR, and today it actually went pretty well ! (though i didn't get to play too much DDR due to lines n' stuff)
but it's not just DDR that was cool of course, this IIDX session was SICK!! very nice clears, including the H-CLEAR on Super Freak SPH-9, regular clear on B4U(BEMANI FOR YOU MIX), and then... while not pictured here for the time being... MY FIRST EVER 10 CLEAR ON VAJRA SPH-10!!!!!!!!
moving into DDR, my scores alone were mostly focused on clearing (aside from that osumatsu-san OP PFC), but then when having to play with someone else, i KILLED IT with the upscores . even got my new highest 14 as a sightread PFC somehow!!
phi'd the actual Rainy Season chart (it's pretty short and easy)
but also had a short pump sesh before heading to work! in which i CLEARED MY FIRST D21, CYGNUS!!!
after work though, i did my first ever back-to-back one-day arcade session in which i went to round 1 and played some iidx/ddr!! (that border fail on odo wwww)
celebrating my recent succys by playing DDR before work :] (and getting some INSANELY good sightreads out of it somehow??)
also did the qualis for the shakunetsu summer campaign 2023! didn't participate in the tourney past this but had tons of fun doing these qualis (even ran back SUPER SUMMER SALE for the AAA albeit with worse MA)
two
egoist? so close... (but i wish i stopped playing proseka after getting master cmon i hate making these posts)
finally got access to SURVIVAL AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE, so i played it! kinda got destroyed in the DSP but very enjoyable chart regardless
also trieded groove coaster and FINALLY got an S rank on a 12 to unlock 13s for play ! (instantly took advantage of that) (also got a sightread FC on a 10!)
then last few Crumbs of DDR before leaving (so close to that Night of Knights AAA... banger set regardless)
OKAY EVERYONE CALM DOWN BUT THIS IS A SUPER IMPORTANT DAY
SO SO SO SOOOOOOO GOOD
but really quickly, i just have to get these redundant scores out of the way first... actually wait no they're not redundant, since this was the day i FC'ed Invisible!!! 32 FC #4!!!!!
BUT ENOUGH OF THAT!!! IT'S DDR TIME LET'S GETIT
starting off with being 70 POINTS OFF AN AAA ON EON BREAK
and then moving onto the biggest part so soon...
MY FIRST 15 PFC!!! 15 PFC #1!!! IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY AND SO SOON!!! LET ME SHOW YOU ESP-15 31P PFC!!!!!
then if that wasn't enough; MY SECOND 15 PFC RIGHT AFTERWARDS!!! 15 PFC #2!!! GO TO THE OASIS ESP-15 61P (woah that's a big leap) PFC!!!!!
and what's more??? IIIII tried going for my 3rd one back-to-back but ultimately failed
BUT THAT WAS SO MASSIVE
MY FIRST TWO 15 PFCS BACK-TO-BACK IN THE SAME SET
THE ONES I NEEDED FOR COBALT IN LIFE4!!!
there was still more time to play though, so i kept playing and getting gamer scores ! though all of these were just to Finally get my trial out of the way (i even got cobalt rank on it! slightly more than necessary
theeeenn just a bit of iidx before leaving this SICK session be
February 25th, 2023 - ProSeka, Music Diver, DDR A3, GITADORA, IIDX 30
waughhh
but anyways IT'S ARCADE TIME!!! and we've got a new game to try out; TAITO's MUSIC DIVER!!!!! i'm struggling a ton with figuring out the controls, but it's a blast to play regardless!!! too bad Taito Maintenance Time has to ruin it for most of my session days
but regardless of that, we've still got a bunch of A3 stuff stockpiled and ready to play!!! including a PFC ON YOIDORE SHIRAZU FINALLY
other cool scores include a sightread clear on Eon Break ESP-16, a massive upscore on MAX 300 SMMM CSP-16, a CLEAR ON PARANOIA REVOLUTION ESP-18 AFTER ALL THESE YEARS???, alpacore CSP-17 AA (lol), lol (2), Doubles Gaming, aaaand this Triple Cross to close out the DDR stuffs
also some HAISUI NO JIN ON GITADORA (long time no see)
thank GOD this song is free play now, i've really wanted to play it for a long time
and also don't forget the little IIDX crumbs!!!
also turns out there were more DDR screenshots hidden in the e-amuse app, so here's those last few (no idea why so many of them ended up here)
but first: trying snowmix on proseka and getting 3 greats after a few tries!!!
now for the Actual arcayde day
felt very Soundy Voltexy today, so that's where the first of my session went; and i had a blast!
then in a sudden change of mood, i finally decided to give pop'n another chance (especially after playing Pop music theory in jubeat) and . actually did like 3x better than my disable dA STACK play 2 years ago ? got to play Haisui no jin too which is an AMAZING song even before the breakcore remix
unfortunately though, it wasn't meant to be for long enough, and this would be the last pop'n set i played before my round 1 got rid of its pop'n cab in April of this year, just two months later... i hope to one day go to gamecenter and play pop'n to relive the memories if they have it
moving on from that tragic, heartfelt moment, i played some iidx!! first score before pop'n, second score with a local dance game friend, and then the rest by myself incl. my first clear on VOLCANIC BIGBEAT!!(programmed genom is SPH-8 btw)
then just a teeeensy bit of DDR to close out the sesh
