Division 5

---
Round 1 - Walking the Streets of a Former Hell
---

I barely squeaked by in this one given that all eliminations were people who didn't submit by the end of the week, and I submitted right before the deadline. Could have done much better, but I think I only tried the song one time and I don't remember it.

---
Round 2 - GLAZ
---

Barely squeaked by here as well, but with much more effort put in. I am horrible at jumpstreams, so this one plays against my weaknesses, especially at the buildup three-quarters into the song

---
Round 3 - The Friendly Wolf (Part 1)
---

This is my own song, which is kind of funny. This one more plays to my strengths. The hardest bits are the rolls, and there's lots of tricky bursts, but with enough attempts I was able to get a rather clean run.

I played out of my mind here and still ended up near the bottom of the qualifiers. That's concerning.

---
Round 4 - Evanescent
---

This song is very fast, and the more simple sections manage to make me struggle. And then there's that insane stream with the hands in it. I have not been able to manage less than a -30 on this section alone, which puts me well into last place for the round so far. Not feeling confident on this one.

Update:
I know I can technically clean FC this song now with my best PA on the buildup being a -15 approx. Unfortunately this means I have to play out of my mind throughout the entire song to get a last-place score. The thing is that I'm still not consistent outside of the very beginning. It's just so fast that it's a struggle constantly.

Update update:
I've played this song way too many times and I can't do the jumpstreams. I really don't understand why people say this song is easier. It's got a massive high-bpm jumpstream wall that is just a pure speedcheck from start to finish.

Update update update:
95 attempts and no pb. Pretty sure next time I see a jumpstream in a song I'm just gonna end the song and move on til I find a song without jumpstreams in it.
