    How to fast?

    Index is harder than spread, and limits song choice, but damn it's so fun. Got all of these just now, and they're all in order.



    Only played this once before, and failed at the 24th footswitches. I think this is an alright pass. Just starting to get the hang of doing them on the keyboard.



    Sightread, sort of. I played the original in Tachyon Gamma, and it's loads of fun, but this was the first time I played the BV version.



    Sightread. Early in the session, so the long streams drained me a bit.



    Sightread. I thought this was nice. Probably won't beat this for a while, though.



    Sightread. IMO this is easier than Oprah Shmup CV, only because of the speed.



    Sightread. At 250+ BPM, my fingers tend to slip and I get a lot boos and misses. My laptop's keyboard doesn't do this, but it's not mechanical so meh.



    ...yeah. Took me like 4 tries to do this. First pass. Shitty MA/PA, but it's a pass.



    I need to improve my stamina. I can AAA the first stream, but I put too much energy into it and everything after that just falls apart.



    First pass on this. I think that with enough practice, I can FC everything up to the 270 BPM speedup.



    Sightread. Cool song, not so cool steps. I can't speak for how good the patterns are on pad, but I don't like them on keyboard.



    And the grand finale of this session...























    soon






















    Sightread, sort of. I looked at the expert chart Matt made in Tachyon Spectrum from Autoplay up to the end of the first stream and said "nope, never passing this". The 21 foot rating didn't change this, until now. Won't be passing this again for a loooooong time.


    Any tips on preventing fingers from slipping at high speeds? I can't be the only one playing index on a mech keyboard, can I? I'm guessing it's the shape of the keycaps, but no one makes flat keycaps anymore.

      I read "evaluation" as "ejaculation." :/

      When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

        Nice passes, especially Whazashmup and Extratone Pirates.

        Also I don't know what kind of tips to give out to be honest, I mainly played 3-fingered instead of regular index at the time, I never had issues of my fingers slipping really. I think EtienneSM would have better tips, he used a mech KB for index.

          That's fine. The keycaps are just now starting to shine from oil, and they're getting slippery :c

          I had to literally stop playing and take a shower after passing Whazashmup because my clothes were soaked with sweat lol. Still can't pass Bokura no 16bit Warz though. :/
