ITG Accomplishments Thread

Considering what she has accomplished, I'm not so sure Charlene is going to do much for her stamina -- it would probably take tougher 11's and higher to push her stamina.

---

Charlene is more of a technical challenge than a stamina challenge.
IIRC, I passed it with mines off before I passed Max 300, or shortly after.

---

Same here (I have yet to pass Max 300); I first tried Charlene without the mines, then tried it with mines a few weeks later -- I didn't think it was much worse. Of course, the mines failed me at around like 18% last time I tried, but that was after months and decline

---

I passed Max 300 one month ago
Was kind of hard...
Passed it on 2nd try. Biggest challenge was the fact that I had troubles reading the chart with having red mooving stuff in the backround (red arrow+red background= not good) I don`t like DDR background and noteskins...

Never tried charlene, so idk

---

The mines aren't at all dangerous in that song.

Eveyone says that but for me the mines are a pain in the ass. Last time i played it, i got 7 mines (score was 92 or 93).
It also fucks up the triplets/drills 16th badly >.< but getting great/miss because of the confusion or fear to step on a mine.

---

Just jump alot. It does raise your great and ex count a bit but you get used to skipping around eventually.

---

The mines messed me up for a while, but now I got used to them on Charlene and Infection. Currently, I'm having trouble with Vertex because if I put it at x1, then I won't be able to read through all the stupid mines, but if it's at x1.5 I can't get through the end.(which is why I still have yet to pass it) I think if you practice the song over and over with and without the mines then it shouldn't be too bad.

Looking at the chart again, you're probably right. It did help me quite a bit with my stamina though, so idk.

This. The mines in the 16th triplets make that part more annoying. It just makes them just a bit more uncomfortable and awkward.

And agentmargo, I know what you mean. I had that problem for a long time. I just played through it a lot without mines on 1x, and then after getting a general idea of the ending, I put it on 1.5x. Knowing what to expect in terms of a general pattern can make it possible to marginally read at speeds faster than what you are comfortable with. Once you pass it once on 1.5x, you'll be able to do it again. Just my bit of advice on that.

OMG yay!


New scores too!
Snuggle Song - first try

98.30%

Energizer hard - first try

81.49%
I can almost pass this on expert ^

started staring 7s

3 in a row!
@ geatcount!







wow, found out how to FC the first part of the song! Finally... and first time 90+
Way off wasn`t my fault!!!


Just a nice song...
I`d rate it 10 or very easy 11...

will upload of this later


Edit:
soo, here is the End of all hope Video
Like the song+ the chart...

New pass:


Finally repassed:


Another psuedo-11:


Here's how bad I am at lifting my feet up and maneuvering over brackets:


Extremely easy 10 (easier than Let My Love Go Blind?):


Here's how badly I suck at 1x no bar:


Nothing I played today worked my stamina much, but I seem to have trouble with technique or something. I failed Sunshine from In The Groove 2 at around 34% -- my life meter kept dropping even though it seemed as if I was hitting arrows, does this song have a footspeed factor or something? I also failed Tension (you're officially not the worst player on this site, Lucie). Today was rather discouraging

---

Monolith no bar pass!
So nice to finally have this. I just wish it was on video.



I'm really not seeing why this is considered the hardest 11. Maybe I need to go try all the other 11s?

I stopped mid-session just to post this.

Edit:
Other stuff from today:
Tell SH 96%, right after getting 91.98% on 2.5x.




Mouth SH 98%. First time playing this chart in at least two years.




Clockwork Genesis SX NO MINES. Probably would have failed if mines were on.




Failed Destiny and Hardcore Symphony, both in the first stream.

Robotix SX 85.90%. It's actually been over a year since I tried to play this, I used to always drift off and fail in the speedup, even on keyboard.




Failed Asian Crosscounter with 40.38% because my legs weren't really keeping up and the tape on my left foot was impeding me. Also failed Etude for a Dragon because of tape coming undone. Then I stopped playing Les Vacances Due Jumpositure in the middle because it's a freaking terrible chart.
Lastly, I decided to try just taking the tape off my foot entirely and tried Reaf SH. I got 1% before I grazed a screw and tore open the crater a bit more. So I had to stop.

Kyzentun your sm-ssc ITG experience sounds very painful

OH MY GOD!!!


It seems like I suddenly gained some nice no Bar skills!!!
I always was just barely able to pass this no Bar...
I wanted to try to get at least 70....
But...the score...today... OMG! that`s less than 1% lower than my Bar record!
I think I played this for about 20 times nonstop till I got the score :lol
video ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uvVTCS0tdI&feature=channel_video_title



O_O
okay...
after a few tries


WTF?? OMG! this used to be one of my lowest 7s one month ago!
Today played again and star!


And this was one of my lowest 8s... couldn`t get 80 2 weeks ago!
How did I make it???


and here my old highscore was 71... O_O


yeah... this was something like 73 O_O


It`s like I`ll never get a FC on this... but raised score again


ok, on friday I presented you a song rated 13 that should be rated 10-11
Today I found an 11 that should be 13...something like this...
The one who rated this 11 was CRAZY!!!
But I like the song...
barely passed on x0.7 rate. Like THIS it was 11... or very hard 10...

0.7 rate... LOL I`m usually play 13s like this....I can read some 15s this was...
I`m very sure this song isn`t 11!


Nice highscoreday today...
and my wrists are hurting agian.
That`s why I decided to play some no Bar sutff... LOL

You need to work on your balance some more. Try to keep your arms closer to your body. Having them floating out there drains more energy because you have to fight their inertia when you turn. Pull them in, and learn to balance that way, and you'll have more energy for other things.

When doing hands, you can go down with more accuracy if you bend your knees. It also puts less strain on your neck and makes it easier to read the screen while you're down. The downside is that it takes a lot out of your thighs, and it can be hard to go back up and continue playing after doing the hands.


@TaroNuke:
Only because I continue to play on an injured foot.

Nice job on the improvements Lucie. Always feels good when you know you've improved
So yeah I've had some REALLY NICE scores over the past couple days. Getting better at my stamina and was able to improve some of my scores.
First off this

Almost a star on a pretty hard 13. Some 16th streams at 230 BPM.
And also MY FIRST PASS ON ONE WINGED ANGEL

Lol at this being a 12. More like a 14.
And my first star on a 14.

Slow song, but its basically all one big 16th stream with 24th's thrown in.
And the one im most proud of...

This is a HARD 13. A big run at 240 BPM with what i believe are 12th, then 8ths with 16ths in there too. My bro got this on his phone's camera, so hopefully I'll get a video of this up soon .

@Kyzentun:
thx for the advices.
Yeah I´m very Bad no Bar but sometimes it`s fun!
Mh, maybe I can put on handcuffs to not to move my arms this much? I`m sure I`ll fall down then...
But I really have no Idea what to do with my arms...mmh.
I`ll try it the way you recommended on my next ITG session

@ PHN!X:
thanks






EDIT 20.04.11

ok, here my best scores of today

I passed Energizer on Hard today... took me to long... but ok.
only four official 10s left to pass

I didn`t want to make any videos today... but I like to have my first pass stuff on video.. so:
----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AxHfSn-uqs&feature=channel_video_title


OMG! FEC!
My 2nd on 7s


I looooove this song!


WTF? 86?? yay!


no Bar!
I`m starting to pass easy 10s no Bar!


just for fun:
songs: Bumble Bee Hard, Mellow Hard , Driving Force Classical Hard, Bloodrush Expert...
so these are the songs I play the most?
14 greats on first 3 songs (most on them on bumble bee) and everything else on Bloodrush...
sure I knew that there`s no way passing the last song... but I did better on it than I thought!

---

Got a better score.

I still don't know why my pictures save in JPEG and look like crap. I would REALLY like to know how to fix this. (Possibly to save room on my flashdrive?) Anyway I FC'd High on Expert.

I might try to Excellent combo this soon.

Next trip I'll be getting new shoes, so I'll be playing more to get them fitted. Might go after a ton of 10s I've not done (Hand of Time, Do U Love Me, ect) Also might try to bump up my VerTex^2 score. I've not tried it after I did it 2 years ago.
