Round 1 : Retro City (65)
Not a very hard song. personally dont even think it should be a 65, maybe a 63. it just has a weird slow down and a few offbeat things. AAA'd after about 6 or so tries and 2 bf's the first night
Result : AAA

Round 2 : Oops (67)
This one had a few tricks near the end. the parts that messed me up the most were the repetitive 4 bar pulse areas and the very end with the weird ghost notes. bf'ed about 5 times and AAA'd the next day
Result : AAA

Round 3 : Undiscovered Colors (70)
Note: Before the actual file came in, there was only 120 notes from UC but the song Weapons played in the bg. I used autofail to get the AAA on the 120 note ver of UC XD
Real Talk:
This...file. It's beautiful. TC_Halogen definitely earned hall of fame just from this alone. the file is so beautifully synced and super smooth, such an amazing challenge yet a song that you would want to play over and over. I had trouble in literally a different spot every single time, a good testament of a skill driven file imo. Pretty sure luck was involved with my runs here.
Result : AAA

Round 4: Sleep (76)
Well, this song was a blast. I accidentally started on mirror, which is much, much more natural feeling than regular. Alloyus did an amazing job with this one. So much fun, but really easy to split all the jumps. Could have been my highest AAA, with two consecutive black flags. Didn't happen this time, but I was happy.
Result : (1-0-0-0)

Round 5: Crow's Ghost
Okay, I'll be honest. The file isn't bad, it's just really aggressive. It has a few tricky parts and a lot of skill driven areas. Skills I don't seem to have, like loads of hands, weird jumptrills (especially splittable ones). idk, the song was annoying as fuck to score well on. took me 196 times to get my 7-1-0-4 to put me at 5th. I would seem to mess up at the beginning a lot, and when i didnt, the end would fuck me. fun fact? the 24th trills were nbd at all. i hated this round, but if i hadnt improved, i woulda been out. determination motherfuckers
Result : (7-1-0-4)

Round 6: 44 Edit
Welp, this is my favorite file so far. FM1 did a sick job at making this song turn from smooth to rigid back and forth really quick. some of the rolls (24th) in the song gave me a rough time, but I managed to get my best score on the first night, landed myself 3rd place. Really fun, fast file, not overstepped, and one of my fav T11 songs
Result : (4-0-0-0)

Round 7: Rainbows (er...Lawn Wake XI)
Yeah...the entire file was a double rainbow. I really liked it though, it was a fun challenge. the beginning kept tripping me up when it shouldnt have, attributing to 70% of my restarts. had a good score the first night, then spring break hit and i had to move my computer to my home setup, which i havent used since the summer...i panicked, and thought i wouldnt be able to improve. I didn't need to, in retrospect, i was behind mirror_eclipse by a mere boo (in scoring terms). scary shit...the file was great fun though, and in the end i overcame my shitty scores at home and improved ahead by a little over 100 points of my previous best.
Result : (16-1-1-3) - my first miss of the tourney
