Thanks in advance,

SDG= single digit great
Black flag= one miss? if i recall.

mashing= someone who can't really beat the song, but trys to anyway by smashing as many keys as possible....thats mashing.

2,4,6,8 = down, left, right, right ( in that order ) usually used when describing the runs in songs
runs = long streams of arrows..
stream = arrow waves that test your stamina ins a song by making you stay on beat while haveing to press more arrows

will leave some for others to describe

[Arch0wl]

Turns = 4268, 8624, or any variant thereof

[chriscage2818]

Black flag= one miss? if i recall.

I always thought a black flag was almost FCing a song, but getting A NG on a freeze arrow, messing up your AAA/AA. The black flag was the dimmed freeze going by.
