March 30th, 2024 - Arcaea, EZ2AC, WACCA Reverse, CHUNITHM, beatmania, DanEvo, ProSeka

ANOTHER HUGE CON DAY INDICATED BY THE TITLE!! LET'S GET IT STARTED IN HERE!!! ...right after this Arcaea world mode intermission. yeah yeah, the grind never stops. i wish it did, but i'm so close to getting all the world extend 3 songs so far... nevertheless, here!!

once that was settled, i went to my friend's sister's car after a really quick shower and got ready for day 2 of the con: cosplay conundrum! these are gonna stay private and off the account for now, but i took a TON of pictures with cosplayers i found out in the wild of sakuracon's artist valley. and there were even more that i missed in the summit building!!! but once that was over, it was back to da grind!!! (i was much more careful with my money this time, besides a poster i got for a friend, don't worry www)

first up, a 5K-only score (that means no turntable or foot pedal muahahaha) on Cross Time !! that's all there's nothing else for EZ2AC go home

but next, i know i said i wouldn't show any cosplayers but i found this INSANELY COOL luin cosplay in the WACCA queue. why was i in this WACCA queue? for a tournament of course! there was a wacca tournament? YES!!! and i was DETERMINED to train as much as i could for it!!! (lie, i barely played anything lol)

instead, i was too busy with my babygirl chunithm new... the stubborn fool that i am, it was almost all i ever played at the arcade before the tournament time. can you believe that!!! all while i was finalizing some responses for my scholarship!!! (tho you gotta admit, these are some REALLY good scores)

more DJing with 5key beatmania... not enough ez2ac... but also HELL SCAPER My Beloved (finally getting to play it in its pure original form and game...)

okay, casual playtime's over. i was running out of time* before the wacca tourney and needed to get as much practice in as i could, since i didn't have much access to this game besides round 1 and thus needed a major refresher on the charts. looking through the setlist and some personal favorite songs, i tried to practice and play as much as i could, so here's some of the highlights from Da Grind!! (feat. some cool S ranks and the fastest improvement on Mazy Metroplex ever LMFAO)

finally, after all of that grinding, it SHOULD have been time to gather everyone and start the tournament. the organizers, however, were having a LOT of technical difficulties. this is what the asterisk next to "running out of time" was for, because i was actually given a lot more time by mercy of the tourney being delayed by almost a FULL THREE HOURS. what should've started at 3 PM didn't start until 6 PM, when my friends were about to leave the con. i was a little pissed, but i guess that gave me some time to walk back to the artist valley and find more stalls/people to admire and photograph respectively, including a faust cosplay and this random miku shrine on the way to the room LMFAO

by the time i finished my cooling-off walk from the tourney troubles and headed back to the arcade for any updates, they were STILL setting up for the tournament and i probably wouldn't even be able to attend it in the end. my friends still showed up though, so i treated them to a showcase of my Awesome Epic DanEvo skills and played one last set of the con for them, which was just Tsumi to Batsu and Daisuke again (but flipped around!) (and also with a longer video of the first song!)

but against all thoughts and odds, they actually DID finish setting up and started hosting the tournament!! right after finishing my set, i was notified that it was almost my turn to go up and play in the tournament. i was ecstatic, i was actually gonna be able to participate!!! woo!!! i got onto my designated cab, we sorted through a minor guest play issue, and i was playing 4-player wacca for the first time with all my lovely tourney-goers... who proceeded to beat me into a pulp (metaphorically) as i had not practiced anything but the last song of our qualifier set into top 8. ah well, at least i got second place on the last and hardest song!

i was still a little distraught with my performance, but i cheered up a bit as i went out with my friends to get some boba before we left to our respective houses. over and on the way there, i played a bit of proseka to catch up on some quests and got some neat APs in that meantime, including an AP on Shun-ran Master 30!!! Finally!!! (got a picture taken with it in my toya cosplay because i was so proud of it LMFAO). didn't haul much (and even if i did, i'm already hitting the image limit with these scores), but here's the image in cosplay with proof www

BONUS: Elegant Toya Aoyagi Dancing (tsumi to batsu 33 seconds)

December 9th, 2023 - WACCA Reverse, FN Festival

🚨🚨🚨 NEW PHONE ALERT 🚨 NEW PHONE ALERT 🚨🚨🚨

THAT'S RIGHT BITCHESSSS!!! I'VE FINALLY GOT A NEW PHONE AFTER 3 YEARS OF THIS S20 FE!!!!! and after EXTREMELY careful consideration over the past 2 months (+ saving up for it too www), i settled on and took home... the 15 PROMAX!!!! it was an extremely tough choice between the max and unmaxed: the former would give my thumbs more flexibility on arcaea, but the latter was just... better (at least in terms of battery and screen size and camera and whatever fgsdfsds)

What does this mean for all my scores? Well, it means that every single one of them (save for Takumi and other games where I'll use Guided Access) will have this annoying little bar at the bottom of the screen shouting "HEY EVERYONE I'M IN THE APPLE CLUB NOW"

But for real? It means my scores are gonna be BETTER, MORE CONSISTENT, MORE FREQUENT, INPUT DROPLESS, FREEEDOOOOOOOOM!!! But since I still need to install stuff and transfer all my files, all I can do with it right now is take pictures and use it to text. So I did half of that with this post coming out of work and going straight to round 1: with some WACCA SCORESSSS

IMASUUGU KOWASHIITE KONNA SEKAI DE WA MADAMAADAAA TARINAI KARAAA AAAAAAAA (sorry they're all in 4:3, still didn't know how to preserve camera aspect ratio when opening and closing the camera app)

but despite the massive wall of text, it's not over yet... for a new rhythm game finally released to take the world by storm (unfortunately)...! it's... ROCK BAND 5!!!! (fortnite festival (eugh))

wasn't sure how this'd play out since i missed the eminem concert event that had a gameplay sneak peak, but i went into it at 11 PM after finishing work and getting home safely, and YOOOO IT'S EXACTLY LIKE ROCK BAND 5!!!! only without the controllers and stuff but they're already adding support for it

anyways WHO CARES I'M TIRED OF WRITING!!! CHECK OUT MY FIRST AND COOL SICK WORLD RECORD SCORES FROM THE MODE

July 25th, 2022 - DDR A3, WACCA Reverse, DaR

I'M BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING (round 1)

met up with some friends (coincidentally at the mall) the day after my big round 1 session, so we played MORE games at round 1 while i got my friend into sdvx (as this video demonstrates)

as for my own scores!! since wacca was dying and set to time play, someone dumped a BUNCH of free credits into both cabs, so i used it to grind out sets before the game became aluminum can

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

July 2nd, 2022 - WACCA Reverse, DDR A3, IIDX 29, PIU XX, SDVX EG, Beatstar

heard about wacca's passing recently... so tragic. aluminum pan is such a terrible fate . but they added T+ vs SHARK AND I PLAYED IT!!!

besides that: the bemani trio, and a beatstar score combined with sdvx so they don't take up the entire post with their individual lengths (got 8th dan and my first 16 AAA!!!!

May 7th, 2022 - ProSeka, Chunithm, WACCA Reverse, IIDX 29, PIU XX, DDR A3/A20 PLUS, GITADORA

arcade day! but first; a word from our sponsor, ProSeka, bringing you this re-AP on mikumiku ni shiteageru in rank match

now, back to your regularly scheduled programming! in today's news at round 1: CHUNITHM IS HERE!!! got to play the game for the very first time and set some killer scores while i was at it!!!

then i did some IIDX and cleared Lion suki SPA-7!!! my first SPA clear!! along with some other funky charts

gitadora and wacca jumpscare (only one score of each game)

then we close out this post with the dance games!! first the ddr... (trying all the new and awesome charts on A3!!!

...then the PIU!! (only two scores but they're both decent

[2dkapsddr]

April 23rd, 2022 - ProSeka, IIDX 29, DDR A3, PIU XX/Infinity, WACCA Reverse

MOVING UP EVEN MORE, THREE MASTER APS THIS TIME!!!

but nevermind that, it's a wonderful arcade day today!!! (get it??? you'll get it with the first score). so here come the scores, in a potentially scuffed order!!

and then, to close out the IIDX section, i got 3rd dan on casthour!!! just barely making it through the last song, abyss...

a brief row of DDR scores before getting into the PIU and WACCA ones...

and now, the PIU scores!!! actually a few decent scores; mainly getting more comfortable with doubles and finally evening out my balance of singles/doubles charts in a session for once?? also getting an ALL NEW S19 CLEAR!!!

and for the brief wacca scores!!! cleared conflict on expert finally after having it failed since the initial release of the game, and also did brain power

[2dkapsddr]

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!!!

[2dkapsddr]

April 3rd, 2022 - ProSeka, WACCA Reverse, PIU XX/Infinity, DDR A20 PLUS

now now, don't worry, this IS an arcade day, but i do only have two proseka scores to get out of the way first

okay, happy now? happy now. moving on with the ACTUAL arcade session now!!!

this was kind of an abrupt session, so not a lot of scores to see here, but the main reason behind this session was... the WACCA april fools prank . a limited time event to get the whole TANO*C crew from BATTLE NO.1 as a navigator!! and GOD was it worth it

as for wacca scores? just this LMFAO

now, onto the dancey gameys!! rooftop S16 1 great, conflict S17 re-clear on my pass, JIGEUMBUTEO SHAKE THAT BOOTY, epic fail on Extravaganza S21, and then 1 miss on shakunetsu pt.2 long train running ESP-16???

[2dkapsddr]

February 20th, 20222 - PIU XX, WACCA Reverse, IIDX 29, DDR A20 PLUS, Beatstar

BACK AT IT AGAIN AT ROUND 1 BOWLING & AMUSEMENT

played a TON of pump compared to other games, really startin my pump arc here... (with some nice acc too !)

moved on to the silly games after that little bit of pumping (tagmix is a fake 16 i'm so glad it got uprated)

then i closed it out with a bit of pump: new S18 clear, new D13 clear, and then 86 S16 FINALLY CLEARED BREAK ON!!!

bonus: this random beatstar score i got in the morning

[2dkapsddr]

February 12th, 2022 - ProSeka, DDR A20 PLUS, WACCA REVERSE, PIU XX

we are BACK at the arcade!!! (but not without a choke on proseka to kick it off!!!)

okay, kicking it off now for real!!! today was a COMPLETELY normal session . absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happened this session for it was very simply uneventful. you may carry on with your day after reading this.

EXCEPT. THERE WAS SOMETHING BIG.

THAT'S RIGHT BABY!!! MY FIRST!! 14!! PERFECT FULL COMBOOOOOOOOOOO

ON NOUSHOU SAKURETSU GIRL OF ALL SONGS??? THE 2ND LONGEST SONG IN THE GAME

actually SUCH an insane score i was taken aback from it for a while

but!! the show must go on!!! only was playing the song because it gave a bunch of golden league EX score, so now i must set my sights on other songs to grind just as much; like this firestorm & co.!!!

(also a quick pump score in between all those golden league sets (right before THE REASON actually))

[2dkapsddr]

February 6th, 2022 - IIDX 29, DDR A20 PLUS, WACCA Reverse, Groove Coaster, SDVX EG

THIS IS WHAT THE CALIFORNIA MENTION WAS FORESHADOWING!!! BET YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING THIS BECAUSE I JUST MET UP WITH TWITTER DOT COM USER FIDDY SEBEN!!!!

ever since i got the news that my family was going to california, i contacted fiddy to ask if they wanted to arrange a quick meetup before i left, and somehow we did it flawlessly!!! i played some random games while waiting for them to arrive, getting some pretty decent scores out of it (clearing love is orange while in orange county and then getting my first 17 FC!!!!)

then, after playing a decent bit of ddr...

they found me. (there's a funnier image but i can't find it)

so we played a bunch of wacca together!!! got my ass kicked at first by them but then kicked their ass back (once and then almost again)

then we goofed off for the rest of the session!! forcing them to watch me play iidx, then playing groove coaster together, then lastly playing sdvx together

then they left after that and i kinda just played on my own (with both nock and sonicfrisk!!)

BONUS (before i forget): played the EmpErroR first thing in the morning and needed to upload this Banger Score before i forgot

[2dkapsddr]

January 19th, 2022 - ProSeka, DDR A20 PLUS, WACCA Reverse, PIU XX

moving my ventures onto the JP server for now!! getting Expert AP #10 and #11 on Marshmary and Niccori^^Survey Team Theme respectively!! also (finally) securing Telecaster b-boy as Master FC #32!!!

but enough proseka posting... for today is an ARCADE DAY!!! though one that was cut short due to lack of motivation... here's all the scores i managed to salvage from this day

BONUS: me thinking this club night S16 clip looked cool

[2dkapsddr]

January 8th, 2022 - PIU XX, IIDX 29, DDR A20 PLUS, WACCA Reverse, ProSeka

back once more at the arcadeys!!! doin some pump, and getting some more nice iidx scores (playing the BEST SONG added this version)

i played a bit of doubles, first time in a while!!! and then fell off the pads during telecaster b-boy (also fitting my sakura FC in here just to keep it clean

then your average wacca scores... (mecha kuso was a high score tie tho damn)

and finally closing out the session with a pump grind; got a sightread S16 and S17, then raising my broken B on 86 S16 to a broken A and having to resort to the full song for an S16 clear

also some proseka from both the morning and night; got an AP on endmark hard to compensate for not having expert FC'ed, almost FCing Leia Master, and then getting to experience gekichumai day 2: the emperror!!!

BONUS: Skreaming for Salvation SPH-10 on IIDX (it didn't go well besides this one clip)

[2dkapsddr]

January 2nd, 2022 - DDR A20 PLUS, IIDX 29, WACCA Reverse, Groove Coaster, ProSeka

WE ARE BACK!!! NEW YEAR NEW ARCADE SESSION NEW SCORES!!!!!

kicking off the year with a big arcade session full of variety!!! even if i don't feel there's not really Enough scores, it's a nice comeback after being in another country for a whole 3 weeks

(those two ddr scores though? SPICY. and finally got that roki FC i've been wanting on wacca)

also a proseka score before the arcade session (and only one from today)
