No it's not.

Also, Freestyling any song will get you sweating if you can make it groovy enough. Why would you freestyle an 8? My personal preference has always been 4's and below, otherwise there's just too many arrows in my opinion.

Also, went to Sky High Arena again with Michael and James. My accomplishment there was that I jumped off the wall trampoline did a 360 front flip onto the next trampoline, and then did a front flip onto the next trampoline after that. Before all that though I went to the UW stadium and ran up and down the stairs for 30 minutes. I feel super accomplished. Holy god my body hates me right now

Forgot to mention we were at acme before sky high arena. I haven't gotten worse actually hahaha, I didn't break any machine records, but damn I beat a lot of my scores on 12's by a couple percentages. haha.

I got 13 perfects in a row on Paranoia Eternal
They were all up arrows

Oh yeah I got 32p and 8g on Unreal.  I thought that MA was good.  Disregard the greats...
Keby had foolishly bragged about his 3 combo breaks on Faxx so I played it and got 2 with an absolutely terrible score (80 greats, but I was going for combo more than precision)
Failed at 170 combo on Trip Machine Phoenix with 1 great, haha.
On ITG I passed Vertex^2.  I couldn't pass summer though.  How does that work

That is good MA on Unreal. Fuck that chart.

#239- Trip Machine X-special (36p)
#240- Feelings Won't Fade (31p)
#241- i feel... (37p)

also re-AAA'd Will on random stage, so I had x3 which is oh so slow

should have had Centaur twice but fucked it up madly. thought the one run with 20ish p was pretty decent MA, but what's the point if there's greats?

also got a few performance/freestyle vids of this guy Nobu, who does entire courses instead of just single songs. also took one of the funniest videos ever but it's a secret for now.

wahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!!!! what a god awful score.......I love this song because it's so utterly dumb.

14 arrows from a full combo, 6 goods and 8 boos. Right at the end before the last few jumps.
I AM MR. SWIVEL HIPS

These were all from Friday night

I upped this by about a percent

This is from GOMX pack. Although the bulk of the file is 16th runs at 152 BPM, there are a few technical 24ths and 32nds hidden in some of the streams. Pretty fun and challenging.

Yes, this is Mad Matt's file. I think i'm decent at trilling 24ths at 182 BPM

On this note, I played Boom Boom Dollar KOG Mix on doubles and DAMN does that songs make you twist back and forth! It's gotta be the hardest 9 on doubles I've played so far. Keep in mind, my experience with doubles is rather limited.

The weirdest songs suddenly become REALLY HARD on doubles. I remember when I was trying to learn how to play and somebody told me that Freckles had a "really fun doubles chart." Too bad it's also REALLY DIFFICULT. :>

Yeah, BB$KOG is pretty hard on double. 
If you get the chance, try uh... turn me on, moonligh shadow (a 7), TL100s (an , Butterfly upswing... those are pretty hard.  moonlight shadow isn't > BB$KOG but it's probably hands down the hardest 7 in DDR history

I have a very hard time with Boom Boom Dollar KOG on doubles haha, mainly because I can't read some of the crossover patterns yet.

Seriously though guys, you need to see me play Healing-D-Vision on Oni. It's about the funniest thing chart you'll ever see on DDR. Scott I know you always get on ITG sometimes because they barely move more than 10 degrees from side to side haha, but oh man, if you don't double step it, you move, full 180 degrees back and forth so fast. It looks so funny.

I'd watch that... although I've seen HDVO been comboed so many times in the last week it's not even funny. People are ACTUALLY good at that song here, it's sick.

Anyway, from yesterday:
#242- Dynamite Rave eurobeat (32p) played it slower than usual, felt good
#243- sp-Trip Machine X-special (20p) finally fuck
#244 & SDP#4- Dynamite Rave Air Special (9p) also finally
#245, Double #1- Butterfly x-edit Oni (32p) atrocious MA, but I finally got something on double hahaha

flagged on the bounce again twice in the same fucking section cause I doublestepped it like a homo
fucked up centaur again several times
some other shit

forcing myself to get on the bounce today no matter what, and trying the oni out.

Show us at the tourny. I'll try to have Null join us and he can bring his camera. We'll record it for posterity.

I passed HDVO.  I got waaaay more non combos than Kev (FC to the run, then kinda stopped because I straight up couldn't do it) but I got 87xxxx.  Also 5 on chaos heavy but that song's cake.

96.81 epileptic crisis hard, I can finally almost full combo it
99.28 popcorn (11 and a mine)
99.68 remember december after saying "I can't 99 this anymore."  Basically got most of my 11 ex in two big chunks.

Nice failing score on HDVO. I can't time those 16th note gallops for my life. Aren't they kind of off beat?

Hey I passed.  I just had 16 misses and a handful of goods and boos.  70ish greats? 
The music is 12ths but the chart is 16ths so yeah the gallops (and the runs...) are off.  The runs are dense enough to where it doesn't matter but you kinda have to force yourself to do 16ths on the pairs of two.

ohhh the way said it I thought you failed it, sorry. Nice job though! look at my great count.....I felt like I was playing with my skill level from 2004 hahaha.

The ReaF at Acme is indeed offsync trust me. As are several charts on ITG3 and Rebirth. Didn't mean it's off in general. As for freestyling of course I'd pick more like a 3-5 to freestyle but I just resort to freestyle if I mess up my 8s or whatever   can get my spins and running man and so forth in there anyway.

Recently, though nothing special:
Hands:

Feet:


Me and NSXX had an epic duel on Chromatic Blitz today. We both failed in the run but oh well was fun anyway. He made it further than I; don't think either of us were totally on our game hehe

Oh ok, I though you were saying its like a half second off, I was like no....

Yeah it's a little late, but not bad enough to really hurt your score. At sakura-con I can go through as many songs as I can to make sure they're on sync. I'll be working arcade staff, so I'm sure KDDR, James, and I will be able to do that. I don't think anyones gonna have time to do it before hand.

From yesterday.

#246- Captivate Chikai (39p) this was funny cause I had never even fake AAA'd it, just kinda came out of nowhere.
#247- Faint (30p) so random, I had it on shuffle from the song before but I don't really care.
#248- AM-3P 303 Bass (23p) right after flagging it on the 3rd to last step
#249- Star Gate Heaven remix (32p)
#250- Star Gate Heaven (30p) boring #250, wanted Angelus
#251- Blind Justice (34p)
#252- Party Lights (24p)

re-aaa'd Dive to the Night w/40p
passed Sakura on x3 cause random is awesome
AA'd Mikeneko Rock on x3 for the same reason

5 or 6 on Cachaca, all from the last set of triplets to the end. so mad.
3 and 37p on Angelus, I finally understand this so I'll get it soon
61p 4g on xmix3, all in Taj he Spitz and Party Lights rofl, x4.5
61p 1g Paranoia Eternal x-special FUCKING DRUGS
2g on IMLTY
2g on Ballad For You (so gay, might as well get these tomorrow)

So yeah good day.

Just popped in to play a few games.

#253- l'amour et la liberte (40p)

2g on the votum remix

that's it

I always disliked how they hid the song from you when you chose Random on post-Extreme DDR games. Playing random is my favorite thing to do on Extreme, but on SN and later I always risk the situation you mentioned above, and that just ain't cool.

oh, I wasn't being sarcastic, I actually think the retarded random system is fun. I love trying to pass the shit on x3 that X throws me. it's so dumb. hopefully they'll change it but for now I like how stupid it is.

related:
drop out x3 1nc AA
tl100s x3 AA
Max300 x3 got to the slowdown and failed... 900 is a bit fast.

also

#254- Votum Stellarum (40p)
#255- Flight of the Phoenix (18p)
#256- Dream Machine (36p)

flagged moonster
1nc sightread on Trip Machine Phoenix oni

Ethan, do me a favor and AAA Be In My Paradise, IMLTY, and Ballad for You all in one set.

Preferably while freestyling.

edit: also, just play everything on 1x and you'll never have to play Max.[period] on 3x <3

sadly, BIMP isn't in X and I'm not gonna try and find an SN or SN2 because I won't be able to do it anyway... IMLTY and Ballad For You are both fucked up pre-X.

and no, the fun is in trying to pass it all x3. :]

BIMP isn't in SN2 either. :< I miss it so much... 

Man...that makes my ass dribble slowly. :<

edit: I was going to do all three at Tilt!, but all three files are just barely over the size limit.
