Apparently I'm in D3, having skillboosted a couple of months ago from D1 straight to D3.

Goals:
[x] AAA a song
[] Survive 4 rounds
[] Get a prize (10th)
[] Top 8
[] Top 3
[] First

Round 1: Infinity (AAA)
I'm not a fan of swings as they're one of my worse patterns, so when I saw the description of this file I was anticipating difficulty AAAing. Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun with this file and AAA'd it without much trouble. The swings weren't too difficult and the patterns were straightforward and balanced. I really liked the chart and music.

Round 2: CS Custom Gun Sounds (AAA)
When I first went into this file, I knew what to expect music-wise. Random gun sounds with arrows stepped to them. What I didn't expect were the minijacks in both the beginning and the end. The beginning didn't take me long to lock down, and I was consistently AAAing the first 500 or so notes except for the weird orange and white colored notes occasionally. The minijacks merged with hands were a different story. My first reaction when I saw them was "WTF is this ****?" I did so badly on them my first time through I had to mirror because my right hand is better at jacking, and I nearly choked on my AAA run on the last minijack because I was so nervous. I really disliked this file compared to Infinity, not because it was more difficult but because of the pattern choice.

Round 3: Baby Still Too Fat (2-0-0-0)
I definitely could have AAA'd this round. The major thing that prevents me from AAAing is the annoying amount of lag. I'm getting a lot of visual lag which makes it difficult to AAA the more dense parts, and when I AAA most of the song I tend to screw up on the easy parts which has lost me many an AAA. The minijack/one-handed trill section is rather obnoxious because I usually screw up there. Then I randomly develop mindblocks throughout the song. This score should get me through though and I know I could AAA with no lag so it's not a problem.
