After The Tourney

Well, I guess I may as well talk a bit about myself seeing as I've been here so long. Only took seven and a half years to even remotely get involved in the community, yeah.

My name is Mike and I'm a developer. I am a little sporadic when it comes to playing FFR - I first played about a year, left for one, came back, etc... I like to think I'm not bad, certainly not top tier, but it's mainly for enjoyment. Eventually I'll probably set some goals for improvement - it feels pretty good to finally get a wicked score on a crazy song.

Maybe I'll randomly post stuff here. I don't know, we'll see how it goes. Just something I felt I'd try out

D4, alright. I should do pretty well in the beginning rounds, I think. I can probably AAA anything up to about 60 fairly easily and up to 67 with some persistence. Past that, it's going to be hit or miss. All I can hope for is for songs that aren't a constant jumpstream from beginning to end. Good luck all!

Scratch that, nevermind x) Turns out I don't really have much time to play get the good scores at the moment. Ah well, good luck everyone else!

What I feel are my:
Strengths
=========
Rolls - Ex: AAA on Entry (56), 1-0-0-0 on Within Life (66)
Jacks and Minijacks - Ex: 25-2-0-2 on Document 13b (72), AAA on Scars Left By Time (62)
Trills and Running Men - Ex: 5-1-0-0 on Klung Kung 2004 (62)
Jumpgluts - Ex: 26-1-1-5 on Spoils (72)
Dubstep and Drum 'n Bass - they usually have very distinctive beats I can hear and bursts that are manageable for me since they're broken up.

Weaknesses
==========
- Just the wrong pattern of jumpstream I can't get right
- Constant Streams - my eyes tend to glaze over after a while unless something new happens in the stream
- Sightreading - I need to match the chart up with the music and get used to the song. Until I can hear the notes and know what's coming, my scores aren't the greatest
- Jazz. Fun songs, but HOLY CRAP it's tough to match the notes to the music.

Why I like raw scoring

Best Replay: 2,396,945 (26-1-1-5)

Best Replay: 3,656,260 (125-23-6-46)
