The journey back to being almost somewhat good
Posted on: November 22, 2024, at 06:00:35pm

Old profile had 6-0-0-0 on Lawn Wake I and 100+ tier points. Not incredible but better than I'm at right now. Starting a small log to track progress.

// 22/11/24 //
Been playing again on and off for about a month. Currently nearing 300 FC's and sat at 73 TP. Still struggling to unlock Takecore of Yourself, got an unfortunate blackflag on Rat Twist.

Managed to sightread SDG a couple 60+ files today which is a good sign, accuracy was never a strong point. Specifically dropped a 1-0-0-1 sightread on DARK KNIGHT [67], but also hit NULCTRL, Connected World and WiLD PLANET. Should be bumping my best AAA from 50 to somewhere in the 60's any day now if I can get over the jitters and figure out how to blink while playing without dropping a good.

Hit level 60 today due to the SDGs and dropped avgrank under 6k by playing some older files. Need to play a bunch of easier/older stuff to improve AAAs and avgrank but more focused on improving accuracy atm so I don't need to replay the boring files.

-Takecore still being elusive. Booflagged Szamar Madar till 800+ notes then choked the end and finished with 5.4 raw goods, a little off from the 4g mark for 4/5TP.
-Finally unlocked Battle Ax by fixing esc (super version) from 2-0-0-1 to a blackflag where I choked a good 30 notes from the end. Annoying to drop the AAA but happy to get that token after trying for a week or two.
-Improved {Rose} from 14-1-1-1 to 3-0-0-0 to unlock {Midnight}. Another satisfying token get.
-FINALLY GOT TAKECORE. Fixed 2-0-0-0 on Fast Rap Battle to AAA after 4.4 raw goods on Szamar Madar. Good day for tokens.

// 25/11/24 //
-Polished off some more annoying tokens like Smiley and Samurai Road.
-Improved scores on a bunch of 50's to low SDG.
-AAA'd a couple more 50's.
-Got my first ever avgflag, on a 16 lmao

// 26/11/24 //
-Unlocked Coactive by AAA'ing a bunch of 16-45-ish files. Bumped myself well over 100 AAA's, something like 40 new ones today.
-Got a near SDG on Fast Asleep [72] with 10-0-0-4. Scoping out a few Oni candidates and this one seems possible.
-Hit 1B grand total today which is kinda cool.

// 27/11/24 //
-AAA'd all of Easiest. Yay?
-Played all of the 4TP songs and got myself barely over 100TP total, few sightread SDGs which is nice.
-Played some of my highest levelrank files. Dropped avgrank below 5k and hit 400 FC's.
-Failed to unlock World Sound several times. Kept getting towards the end of Takecore with like 2g so tried to scuff the ending intentionally a bit and came as close as 8-1-0-0 ):
-Sightread blackflag on the Article by Crow [64] in the last quarter, missed out on 5/5TP but bumped me to skill level 61.

// 28/11/24 //
-Got my first SDG on a 70+, 7-1-0-2 on Fast Asleep. Combined with yesterday's efforts on Tier Points files, puts my top 5 SDGS at 68-71. Oni eking closer and closer.
-Got another 70 SDG on Men & Machines [Redemption] with 5-1-0-1.
-AAA'd more than half of Beginner.
-Reached skill level 62.
-150 AAA's.
-Unlocked Kyuin with a clean 2g on Mou Uta Shika Kikoenai [59].

// 29/11/24 //
-Avgrank under 5k.
-150 Tier Points.
-Unlocked World Sound by intentionally dumping 8g in the last 200 notes of Takecore. File is AAA'able but I don't wanna play it anymore lmao
-500 FC's, yeeeeeee

// 30/11/24 //
-Improved Fast Asleep to 5-0-0-2 and barely scraped up to skill level 63.
-Got my first equiv over 70 with a 11-0-0-3 on grind1.
-Lost loser's bracket round 1 in OWL 2 to get eliminated. Lost Materialize Anything with 2-0-0-1 to 2-0-0-0, booflagged until nearly 900 notes then hit a jump late for 2 goods. Then lost Clocktown with an uncharacteristically bad 6-0-0-0 to my opponent's 5-0-0-0. I improved Clocktown from 1-0-0-1 to BF earlier today so that one stung but oh well, couldn't perform and my opponent was better. Had fun anyway.

// 01/12/24 //
-Improved best AAA from Fast Rap Battle [54] to Luna Ascension [55].
-Clean 2g on Nica's Dream - The Game [62] and 3g on Rocket Flight [63]. St. Scarhand [Standard] doesn't feel too far away.
