If things go as planned I'll be back in town for a week around the 6th of July!

Good job on the scores and on breaking through that wall. Work on Delirium next, that's the easiest 12 in my opinion -- it's a big confidence booster.

Once I get a few more 11s (I'm thinking Destiny, July, MAYBE Hardcore Symphony) I'l start contemplating Delirium. And yes, blackcat Robotix is the song that gets to 1337 (OMGZ0RZ LIEK THEY TOTALLY DID THAT ON PURPOSE AMIRITE?) BPM, but it is just a constant beat between 2 arrows.
I just don't think I have enough stamina for Delirium yet.

EDIT (Just to avoid a double post

): How do you properly pronounce "Xuxa"? I've heard (ZOOK-zah) which is what I say, (ECKS-yoo-ECKS-ay), and (ZHOO-zhah), zh being a sort of j sound.

It's zookza. lol. That's how I say it.

So I just realized that there's actually not all that many songs left for me to pass in ITG. If I assume that I am skilled enough to pass all 10-footers (which is reasonable, considering that most of the time I pass them first try), then there are 13 11s, 10 12s, and 3 13s. Correct me if I'm wrong. Out of those listed above, I've passed 4 11s, no 12s, and no 13s. So that leaves me with only 22 songs to pass. Not bad, not bad at all. Hopefully, I can knock out a few more 11s before I leave for Romania, because I doubt that after a 1-month break with no dancing games whatsoever, I'll return to my former skill with no trouble.

I think the only thing you have to worry about losing is stamina...

I dunno...like once, when I didn't play for just about 2 weeks, when I went back and started playing again, I sort of sucked more than I did at the point when I stopped playing.

PROTIP: That song is fucking hard. Like, should be a 12 hard.

Yeah, I thought so from looking at it...the fastest 11 I did was Utopia, which is I believe 166, and Hardcore Symphony is 174, plus the whole song is either long 16th streams (which I doubt I could at 174, and even if I could I would run out of stamina) or step-jumps, which I'm horrible at. Hardcore Symphony is more of a long-term goal. But it would be tight if I could get it

.
Lol, I can AAA it on keyboard...

Okay, so this was my last arcade outing for a month+, and I have to say, it didn't go too well. It was odd, it's like I was tired as soon as I got there. My legs were already aching and I was already exhausted after only a few songs. I definitely was NOT "feeling it" today. However, I did manage to pull off some decent scores. I passed another 11! Lol, however, I think if I had tried it last time I would have been able to do it, and with a better score.

(YAY! 11 #5. This one took me I think 3 tries, mostly because of all the damn mines.)

(If I remember correctly, I'm not actually that far from the machine record on this, I think it's like 94 or 95 or something.)

(Lol, another one where I messed up and then decided to great attack. One of these days I should do a great attack from the beginning.)

(I'll 90+ this next time hopefully.)

(Used it for warmup just like every other time...it keeps getting slightly better each time.)

(Meh, first time playing...definitely wasn't feeling it.)

(STFU I wasn't expecting all the damn speed changes.)

(STFU it's too damn slow.)

(Slightly better, I better * this next time.)

(w00t w00t another expert star, I don't suck at this song anymore!)

(First song I played, didn't quite beat mexy's record lol, I will next time though, if it's still there after a month.)

(First time playing I think, didn't do that bad...)

DDR
AA Xenon (49 greats, 2 goods, FIRST TIME EVER PLAYING)
Passed Paranoia Survivor Max Heavy (C, now I only have ONE SONG LEFT TO PASS IN DDR! ...PSMO of course)
SDG Kind Lady (lol 9 greats...STFU I can't do shit on those pads)
AA Cow Girl (23 greats and one NG because of the pad)

Lol I was wondering if someone would notice that...I pressed the screenshot button right when the screen came up and it was still writing out machine record #xx. I think I did it too early on two of my other screenshots or something else is messed up, but two of them won't open, it gives me all sorts of error messages when I try to. It's never happened to me before, any idea what it could be?

YAY finally new scores.

Indeed my stamina has taken a blow since I haven't played, and last night I found myself giving up for loss of energy on many songs I could easily do a month ago. My ITG pretty much sucked, but I actually did really well in DDR. I got like 7 new AAs, 3 of which are 9s, and 2 new ALMOST SDGs. My USB card also didn't work for ITG for some reason, so no screenshots (not that there were any scores that were worth taking a screenshot of anyway...).

ITG
97.97 on Land of the Rising Sun, one lost hold (that wasn't my fault, stupid pad) away from a **. First time playing, I would say ever, but my USB card tells me otherwise, I must've played some time a really long time ago.

DDR
Check my DD:Recall, I don't feel like posting everything*. I ALMOST AAd So Deep 1x Flat. I should get it next time.

*NOTE: I had some trouble remembering all my scores. I'm gonna say there's a +/- .3% on all of them, except Let's Groove, 5.1.1, and Do It Right (Harmonized whatever mix).

EDIT: Okay I guess I'll post the better DDR scores, for your convenience.

AA 5.1.1 (11 greats...ugh should've SDGd)
AA Let's Groove (first time ever playing, 11 greats...ugh should've SDGd)
AA Saints Go Marching (34 greats)
AA Afronova Primeval (51 greats)
AA Frozen Ray (first time ever playing!, 25 greats)
AA Do It Right (Harmonized 2-step Mix) (first time ever playing, 15 greats, one NG because of pad)
AA Mahou no Tobira (first time ever playing, extra stage, 12 greats & 1 miss)

Great job on the new scores!

I know exactly how you feel there. There was a time I was specifically playing to increase stamina. It took weeks, but I got a good result. Then I didn't get a chance to play for a week or two. When I came back...pbbbtttt.

It's annoying how it seems that it takes considerable effort to build up the human body, but you can undo all that effort in a small fraction of the time.
