pre-match
feels like my luck isn't that great. best case scenario is hitting OWL to later face FunnyGurl555 to likely hit losers second round though i don't know if that is doable because i find myself to be quite rusty. i haven't really gotten to the right settings on ffr to emulate etterna which is what i'm most comfortable with at the moment.

the average we have is 76.5 so our range is 66.5 to 86.5. does this round / ceil to 67 to 87 or floor from 66 to 86 or do something weird (66 - 87 or 67 - 86)? I'll stick within 67 to 86.

overall for the match i'm unsure whether winning or losing is the best outcome. win and face funnygurl or lose and face ruf323 while having to hit OWL each and every time from then on.

MATCH
Okay so the range is 66 - 86, it floors.
after second song, the one with most raw goods gets to pick the songs.

1 - Final Boss, 71, my pick
it was my pick because lower skill level. picked final boss because it was within the range and in my fc picks. i didn't remember this map to any extent really, i just thought if i had an fc on it i would do well again on command. after this one i adjusted my offset since it was slightly off and my scroll speed as it was slightly too slow for me (3 --> 3.14159).

me 0, kadef 1

2 - Star Gate, 76, kadef's pick
very jacky, sightread fc at least. raw scoring is the reason i lost this one as kadef missed about 300 notes in. this was probably the closest match in terms of raw score, i was only 400ish away (though 400 is somewhat far).

me 0, kadef 2

3 - Club, 75, my pick
it was my pick because i was doing worse. picked it because i had previously gotten an sdg on it, didn't expect to see that kadef had had a aaa on this for a while. i meanwhile had more goods than i would like to admit, even more raw goods (i think it was more than 25).

me 0, kadef 3
i am now in loser's bracket facing ruf323 sooner or later. given my performance here i don't think i can perform quite well against him. if i get good charts and derust further, though, i might not get out of the tournament so soon. perhaps i should better warm up as well. i barely warmed up to any capacity before the match.

against ruf323 (79) losers r. 1
pre-match
had no expectations other than losing because i'm not that great

MATCH
range was 67 - 87

1 - Ah Shwe Bah, 87, my pick
picked it because i knew it existed honestly. could somewhat read it almost? got a higher combo than ruf, that's at least something. i can't get accuracy is the problem, i think it's a problem with my reading. might have to space out the receptors more, make the notes smaller too.

me 0, ruf323 1

2 - Accelerator, 86, ruf323's pick
i definitely had trouble reading this one. i would assume it's too fast for me though it could be the case of the problems with receptors being close and notes colliding with one another in my eyes. was no wonder that ruf won this one too.

me 0, ruf323 2

3 - waltz in d-flat op. 64-1 (panic station mix), 82, my pick
picked it because it was right in front of me and i thought i could remember it well enough to do well. the big thing with this tournament is knowing a good amount of charts to choose the one that you can most easily do. i somehow did quite alright knowing my skill level and i somehow beat ruf here.

me 1, ruf323 2

4 - Guile of the Rime King, 80, ruf323's pick
i didn't really know what i was expecting. somehow had difficulties reading an 80. this is probably the fact that i hadn't warmed up or the problems mentioned earlier. dropped a lot of goods and boos, might have missed more than him too.

me 1, ruf323 3

~~ end i guess you're winner! ~~
