Spring Showdown 2023
Posted on: March 29, 2023, at 10:04:22am

Didn't initially post this since it's not OT, but many people are doing it so ok

D7 as expected, but a few D7 players in last year's OT went to D6 so I'm near the bottom of this division. I hope the last few rounds don't end up with 102+...

R1: Black Lotus (0-0-0-1)

Thanks I hate it. This is my own chart and I really don't like this one. Because of the jumpgluts. They're spiky (especially the literal ENDING), awkward, rude, and skewed. And all the other files of mine I hate have this in common. After realizing this I grew absolute hate against the S(3[34]4)-shaped minijacks and I'm now trying to avoid them at all costs. There's a near-100 chart I submitted in the OT batch and you won't find a single S-shaped minijack there. /rant

Rant aside, booflag is a pretty good score for me, considering that I'm relatively weak at walls. I don't regret the walls btw, I think it's quite fitting.

R2: Deadman DJ (2-0-0-0)

wdym, this is a really fun chart!! I guess liking breakcores in general helped too. Though I have no idea how I blackflagged this in sightread when it was first released.

Also D6's Fast Fissure is harder than Deadman DJ. What are those walls

R3: Delirium v2 (16-0-3-0)

weeeeeee

This has some Rainshower vibes and I'm bad at Rainshower. Even worse, this plays like a 97 to me. I'm dying. Not a fan of how jacky those 32nd and 24th streams are.

R4: Lyrith -Labyrinth Lilith- (6-0-0-1)

The best part of this chart was when Lyrith said "it's lyrin' time" and lyrithed over all those jacks.

Ok but it was actually an advantageous pick for me, because I'm good at fast jacks going in burst instead of jack stamina like Delirium and Punkture. I got PB too! Up to 3g might be possible but I don't enjoy grinding in general so idk.

R5: Extratone Pirates (Drunk Optimus Remix) (13-0-5-0)

From this round my scores are going to go haywire. I can't trill to save my life.

nvm R5 was fine after all. Most of my misses were from trills though which is funny.

R6: This Is The End of Everything (34-1-3-4)

Fun chart, but it's a 100, meaning my scores will start to fly everywhere from now on. I want to beat my PB of 23-3-3-4 but I'm not quite getting there this time. It's so easy to slip up several goods at the same time. As an aside, I got SDG on the new D6 file woooo

R7: Finding Her Not (17-0-4-1)

Holy cow this is a really big PB. Fun chart too. When in doubt, try mirror.

R8: Critical.Error (90-0-22-9)

Ah yes time to get 150rg

My hand died.

I loaded up the old engine with framers just to play this, and the ending became a little bit readable. This might actually be a viable strat in other songs...

10th place at this skill level is pretty cool I think
