DEAD END ("GROOVE RADAR" Special) 10

DEGRS wins.

Last quarterfinal match. Purposely shitty chart vs accidentally shitty chart.

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X)
Prey

HDV: 0
Prey: 1

---

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 1
Prey 1

Really hard decision actually...

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 1
Prey 2

---

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 1
Prey 3

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) Challenge 2
Prey Challenge 3

I'm not gonna lie, Prey isn't even in the top 10 worst 18s for me.

---

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 3
Prey 3

It's not even a good chart after they fixed the 12ths

---

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 3
Prey 4

Very hard choice, but at least Healing-D-Vision was fixed. Prey will remain bad.

---

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 3
Prey 5

HDV at least had a decent bit in the song, even though they were crossover runs. Prey is just jumps and pain.

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 3
Prey 6

Tough choices here, but I chose Prey. I find HDVO offers an interesting chart despite the shortcomings that being the sync. Prey on the other hand is just uninteresting, and the jumps is arbitrarily placed making it insufferable.

---

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) Challenge 4
Prey Challenge 6

Gotta stick to my guns here - HDV's original chart is flat out broken without the triplets so that makes it objectively worse.

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 5
Prey 6

I never wanted to cast a vote to get the two to tie so much...

---

Healing-D-Vision (pre-X) 5
Prey 7

This chart shouldn't even exist.

---

Prey wins 7-5.

So we're at the moment of truth now, the semifinals. All four of these charts have a chance to win the tournament, and other than Prey (which had two really tough rounds) they've all been pretty much unchallenged.

10 years ago Horatio PS2 fought Pluto the First in the first match of the semis. Today, Horatio PS2 fights Pluto the First in the first match of the semis. That's right, it's a rematch.

Horatio (PS2)
Pluto the First
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Horatio (PS2): 0
Pluto the First: 1

Horatio's broken but if you have really good timing and you put your foot in the center you can treat them like regular streams. Super hard but a high-level player can do it with practice. Heck, piguy PFCd it on Stealth and said it wasn't much harder than the arcade chart (not saying that's true for the rest of us but I guess if you have the method down). AFAIK there's no trick to make Pluto the First playable like that.

+1 pluto the first

Horatio: 0
PTF: 3

---

Horatio [OG ] - 1
Pluto the First - 3

PtF is a fucking atrocious chart, but at the very least it's playable on the engine. You can actually do what it's asking you to do with little issue. The OG Horatio chart is broken. The game simply cannot handle those shock arrows. You are stuck fucking up on it no matter how you try to play it because the timing windows are so scuffed and the notes are so clustered. There's a reason why they fixed it quickly for the JP CS release, before it even sniffed the AC scene. PtF being a shitshow cannot compare to a chart that simply cannot be played.

Horatio (PS2) - 2
Pluto the First - 3

At least I can play PtF, you know?
