Round 1 : sub/zero - (2-0-0-0)
My experience with this has been interesting, I got my 2g run on my first attempt but then never got a better run afterwards because of the jack intro. I was only aiming to survive so I didn't hunt for a AAA.

Round 2 : 99.9 (Eurobeat Remix) - (AAA)
I did NOT expect to AAA this on my first full run lmao. As soon as i saw the preview I knew my AAA chances were already higher than with round 1, but damn that was fast. (also now officially d8 thanks endymion)

Round 3 : 44 Edit v2 - (5-1-1-1)
I was quite surprised by the big difficulty spike, even though I should get used to them since that's how D8 rolls. I feel like even though the second half is harder physically, the first half has patterns that feel somewhat rng to hit for me. So if I get another pb after this, it'll be most likely by cleaning the second half's jacks. Also my score almost feels like a token unlock lol. New score dropped, with now a much cleaner sdg!

Round 4 : END OF SYSTEM - (2-1-0-2)
When I played the file for the first time, I felt like it was a lot easier than last round's file since I had already beaten my RG count on 44 edit. I think that is because one of the main difficulties in the file was the middle burst but that is much closer to my skillsets than the 44 edit jacks. Anyway, only played it like twice and then didn't play rhythm games for the rest of the week so we'll see how round 5 goes. (Also already got farther than last year in D7 lol)

Round 5 : dreamless wanderer - (21-0-5-0)
The SDG or better streak ends here :c. This chart stands out quite a bit from the other charts in that skill range as it's all streams with very little breaks in between which makes it one of the most physically hard files out there. My wrists could barely move in the last third of the song but I managed to get what is a pretty clean score from my point of view. Also managed to get top 8 which is very exciting!

Round 6 : POWA OF DA WILDANES - (33-1-6-2)
Another Camellia file! With this one being much tougher than the last one, I was surprised to see how much I enjoyed playing it even though it was crushing my arms. There were only a few specific patterns I started to dislike from restarting a bunch but overall I'm happy with this file and the score I got, but sadly it wasn't good enough for round 7...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

FINAL RANK : #7 (D8R6)

Very happy with how I performed in this tournament. I was much better than last year with my crushing round 4 fail as I dedicated this year to improving after being eliminated in D7. I'm hopeful for a spot in the top 5 in next year's tournament if I keep up the improvement pace (although more high D8 players might join).
