Re: 2Hr 30Min JS challenge
When I play, my left hand is somewhat flat on the KB, and my right hand is somewhat arched. With that being said--I was in SO much pain on my right hand, I just couldn't even do some of the patterns.
Also SHUT UP IT'S TWO HOURS LONG D:Comment

Re: 2Hr 30Min JS challenge
I will try this again, but MAN--I do need a break from this file...two hours of nothing but 175 BPM straight JS is pretty harsh. I think if I can do the streams without somewhat curling my right hand, I could easily get in that TDG range.
I still like my combo. =DComment

Re: 2Hr 30Min JS challenge
Yeah--I think that happened somewhere around the 20-30 minute area. This song was the only thing I played today, I had no warm-up or anything. The first five or so minutes was my warm-up.
I gotta tell you though, after about an hour, it was a struggle to break over 1.5k. Near the end of the song, my right hand was in SO much pain, I couldn't even break over 500 combo, haha.
I actually might take a shot at this again, but the pain in my right hand was something I don't want to feel again. D:Comment

Re: 2Hr 30Min JS challenge
Wasn't doing so bad, although half the cbs were bs (other half were when i just lost a combo, I'd look at my score to see how I was progressing since I had no idea when I started or how much time was left).
AVG auto-scanned at noon, lagged badly and it killed me. Stopped playing to what my score was where I died. My version of SM can't stop the song and go directly to the results screen, dunno why.
Time to try again.

Re: 2Hr 30Min JS challenge

Took some precautions and made it through this time. Lots of comments about this though.
First of all, I went off of MSN, Facebook, AIM, etc etc and disconnected my internet that way it wouldn't bother me. I also made sure AVG wouldn't do anything else.
I was tired from the first hour I did in my last screen. Here, the first hour was ok, but the second started to get tiring (normal I guess) although it was just a dull throb in the arm rather than intense pain. My left arm is fine, and the right arm less xD. MA died the second half, it was more survival rather than paying attention to MA. The first hour I probably got around 10 cbs, the rest the second half.
Do not do this song when you are tired. Since it lasts 1h54, it WILL go into one of your sleeping cycles (since those last 1h30 or something) and so you will get tired (me it was between halfway and 1h20 that I was tired).
Since you play the song for 1h54, you develop mind blocks while playing it. Since the pattern repeats itself every 1.6k arrows or so, and you get a mind block at a certain pattern, you'll miss like every 1.6k combo, which is what happened to me quite often the second half.
My right eye produced a lot of tears the second half, so pretty much the whole second half, my right eye was blurry-ish. Sometimes I closed my right eye a bit and left just the left one open, but that harms your accuracy quite a lot, playing with one eye. I did this occasionally from time to time when the eye hurt a bit too much.
My thumb on my left hand got stiff near the 1h20 mark and I had to move it, which got me a lot of cbs. It stayed stiff the rest of the time, although not as painfully.
If anyone wants to tackle this, beware of all of this haha.Last edited by Gilly G; 05-26-2009, 07:18 AM.Comment
