Boy do I have a session for y'all - finishing the year on a BANGER with my 100th SP15 PFC!!

Definitely come a long way from my 1st 15 in Jan 2020 - I don't think I would have anticipated to get this back then 😅

There's still some great scores ahead, definitely wanna check the replies to this one!
A Perfect Full Combo on the Single Expert chart for Max 300! YESSS WE HIT TRIPLE DIGIT SP15s!!! And what a 15 to get it on too - it was The 15 that started it all, so I figured we'd come full circle with this one! Took a bit of grinding to get there, but I'm very happy to get it with no MA tax, if only barely. That is, of course, the 100th SP15 PFC for me! A Perfect Full Combo and Flare EX sweep on all charts of Max 300 on Singles, excluding the X-Special. Who knew I would get the sweep on this song - one of the huge ones to get! And to get it just before the end of 2024 (where I am), it's so great to see 😄

Had some pretty productive sessions during the festive season after I got home from the US - pretty happy with the haul on the whole!

Trying to close out Max 300 ESP for #100, hoping to close it out soon! Also, new shoe buff doing wonders 💪
A Perfect Full Combo with 9 perfects on the Single Expert chart for X-ray binary. This was definitely a very surprising SDP - very fun chart but there's quite a bit going on! I'll take that huge raise (from 36p or something iirc) That takes my SP13 SDP count to 26! A Perfect Full Combo with 8 perfects on the Single Difficult chart for Not Alone. Idk why I thought there was gonna be some 16th minijacks at the end - maybe I was thinking about the DDP chart too much... The references were mostly fine here though! With that, that takes my SP13 SDP count to 27! A Perfect Full Combo with 7 perfects on the Single Expert chart for Kiss Kiss Kiss Akiba koubou mix. Turns out I've never gotten around to playing this chart until now - it was fine enough. Got patterns that sometimes flow, but sometimes leaves you in an awkward position. Otherwise, this is a new SP12 SDP, taking me up to 51 SDPs! A Perfect Full Combo with 6 perfects on the Single Expert chart for Be Lovin. Got this while I was going for the unlock for Be Lovin Challenge - definitely wasn't expecting to keep my MA on that, considering the stepjumps! That ended up being my 50th SP12 SDP, which is a great milestone for me!

Been a while since I've posted - but I got a couple of sessions in! And boy it was all about that content catchup (which could even bleed into next year)

Also tried my flyknits today, they are GOATED and I can't wait to play in em more when I get home!

As always, more in the replies!
A Perfect Full Combo with 39 perfects on the Single Expert chart for Red by Full Metal Jacket. On the rare occasion I get to play on a white J-cab, I somehow manage to pull a pfc near the end of it! Can definitely improve the MA - but I'll take it for being jet-lagged right after a trip to Tampa! A Great Full Combo with 59 perfects and 5 greats on the Single Expert chart for Setsujou danka. Quite a fun chart - love the 12ths in it near the start and end! Might close this one out with some effort... A Perfect Full Combo with 53 perfects on the Single Expert chart for Time to Hyperdrive. And all I wanted was a green lamp! Rushed everything like crazy, and I definitely got taxed (had a 31p, 1g and 2gd run because I messed up the slowdown after the long drill that time) With that being said, that's a new SP15 PFC for me (#97). Not too far away from the triple digits now! A Great Full Combo with 87 perfects and 3 greats on the Single Challenge chart for Warera kanzen muteki no idol!! Very borderline 15 that I'm glad I got so close on. If those drills had been staircases or something, that might tip it into 16 territory. Or if those marked footswitches were anymore complex... Took a bit of a grind, but it's a fun chart - so that definitely helped 😅

Posting stuff from today's sesh, as this is one of my last sessions in Australia for the year!

Got 3 new SP15 PFCs in one day (#94-96), and boy they were exciting! Those triple digits are on the way 💯

And I almost closed out Tokyo 1 - it's cooking, that's for sure

More in the replies!
A Perfect Full Combo with 10 perfects on the Difficult chart for Cosmic V3locity on Singles. Oh boy the progression to this was kinda insane haha, here's how it went: 22p 1g -> 18p -> 17p -> 14p -> 10p Very fun chart, and locking in on this is quite good - I can see this being my 1st 15 SDP! This is a new 15 PFC on Singles (#94)! A Perfect Full Combo with 50 perfects on the Expert chart for Paranoia Survivor on Singles. This was in the making for quite a bit, ever since I flagged it a while back it's been sitting there waiting for a close out! And it finally happened on my 1st try today 😁 This is also a new 15 PFC on Singles for me (#95), not too far away from triple digits now 👀 A Perfect Full Combo with 46 perfects on the Difficult chart for New Millennium on Singles. Third times the charm, as they say! Nearly got it in one but then I got 2 greats on the "revolution" part at the end... And the second attempt was me fumbling two drills in the middle with 1 great in each. Persistence can pay off, if you know where you picked up your perfects/greats/goods/misses + how to fix it! This is also a new 15 PFC on Singles too (#96), and the 3rd from this sesh! A Great Full Combo with 62 perfects and 2 greats on the Expert chart for Tokyo Evolved Type 1 on Singles. My goodness, this was a RUN - took 2 earlier attempts to figure out where all the stops are (and how the sync changes too) - but in the end, I got a solid raise! This was a raise from like 990/991k - but this is definitely one in the rotation pile now 😤

It's time for more score highlights from last week, powered by coconut water!

Gonna start with some stuff from Monday, pretty happy with some of the second Triple Tribe runs I got 😁
A Perfect Full Combo with 1 perfect on the Expert chart for Dazzlin Darlin AKBK mix on Singles. Holy shit this was so good - the perfect was on a candle near the end (DLU). It would have been even better to close it out right then and there, but I'll take a near MFC! A Perfect Full Combo with 28 perfects on the Difficult chart for 3y3s on Singles. About time I closed this out, still rushed it like crazy though... Considering I don't have regular access to this song yet, this is still amazing MA! A Great Full Combo with 65 perfects and 3 greats on the Expert chart for Shakunetsu Part 2 Long Train Running on Singles. Another solid run, I think this my first full combo on this chart! Considering I tend to get misses on harder charts, getting a full combo is a big deal for me. Definitely cooking with some of those 16s, that's for sure A Great Full Combo with 87 perfects and 6 greats on the Expert chart for Comet Skater on Singles. Oh my goodness, this was a RUN. I was cutting it close with that Flare EX clear - one more perfect and that would have sent me down to Flare IX! While I don't mind this chart, it's definitely not easy to time... And the 995k money score is just the cherry on top 🔥

Here's some highlights from last week - I got to play with someone from interstate on Monday and had a blast! It was great to meet them for the first time and just see how amazing they did in front of me 😁
A Perfect Full Combo with 13 perfects on the Challenge chart for Akatsuki on Singles. Very fun chart, especially with those crossover minijacks into freeze patterns! A Perfect Full Combo with 46 perfects on the Expert chart for Spring Pony on Singles. This is a new singles 15 pfc for me! (#91) How fitting to play this chart the day before one of the public holidays in my area (it's the Melbourne Cup day, if anyone's interested) Forgot this was very late, even reading at 630! I think I remembered it was late but not specifically how late... There's only 9 more till the big triple digits, I might get Max 300 as that milestone - as some of the others I have in mind are much harder than that... A triple A run on the Expert chart for Odore! Virtual animal on Singles - with 51 perfects, 1 great and 1 miss. Oh boy. This was so close to the PFC - lost it on the final box run into drill! Very happy with that run, hoping to convert it someday! A Great Full Combo on the Expert chart for This is My Last Resort on Singles - with 51 perfects and 3 greats. We take those small money score bumps - this run I lost the PFC to the second of the two consecutive drills in the middle. Definitely a contender for the pile 👀

Last week was all about trying the towel on the bar and using my arms more often for harder sections - and it paid off!

There's more things on the way, but to begin, here are some SP15s I played on Friday!
A Perfect Full Combo with 19 perfects on the Expert chart for Pump Pump Pump on Singles. This was a huge raise from 43 perfects iirc, definitely locked in pretty well on this! Loved my MA on this, it definitely bodes well for bigger rips on my singles arc :D A Perfect Full Combo with 23 perfects on the Expert chart for Nanahoshi on Singles. Raised this from 37 perfects, and I definitely felt myself using my arms more often during the longer bursts! I only noticed this after my sesh, but the 2 7s in the money score are very fitting, if you know what I mean... A Perfect Full Combo with 32 perfects on the Expert chart for CyberConnect on Singles. Raised this from 44 perfects, and BOY this was a good run - I think I MFCd most of the right facing bursts in the second half! In any case, this was pretty great MA A Great Full Combo with 50 perfects and 1 great on the Challenge chart for Gravity Collapse on Singles. This was a neat raise, and I got the great in one of the 24th bursts in the second drill half, but not the last one. And I think I've gotten Perfects or better on that burst in other attempts, so this is really a matter of time!

Been a while since I've posted here, I thought I'd post some recent DDR scores that I got last week. I got a tripod so I could work on my form and boy was it eye opening!

Once it cleans up a bit more, I think there'll be even more great things ahead!
A Perfect Full Combo with 11 perfevts on the Single Expert chart for Mirai Da Future, which is rated as a Level 15. It is also a new personal best (from 24p), a new SP15 ceiling, and I also cleared it using the Flare EX gauge! I was over the moon when I got that, there's definitely a non-zero chance of the SDP happening A Perfect Full Combo with 30 perfects on the Single Expert chart for Indigo Nocturne, which is rated as a Level 15. That is my 89th SP15 PFC overall, which is always amazing to see 😄 A Perfect Full Combo with 27 perfects on the Single Expert chart for Racing With Time, which is rated as a Level 15. That is my 90th SP15 PFC overall! Closing in on the big 100... 👀 A Perfect Full Combo with 12 perfects on the Single Expert chart for Onyx, which is rated as a Level 14 This was a 1p raise (from 13p), and I recleared it with the Flare EX gauge. While this run was great, I think it could be a bit better - but any and all raises are good 😁

Got my 1st DP MFC today!! Just before my 1 year anniversary of my doubles arc too!

Hopefully the first of many :D

(1/?)
DP7 MFC #1, MFC #1 (Super Hero) My very first MFC on doubles! Tried it last sesh and was stuck at 1p, today I bumped up my speed multiplier to x3 and success! Here it is in all its glory! It's so beautiful 😍

Uppers gaming! FINALLY got Astrogazer, after failing it at the end last time, and once earlier today - somehow managed 2 more, putting me at 41 DP18 clears!

Also attempted Valkyrie + Possession CDP, I think Valk might be it 👀

Filled out my DP ceilings, and had some MA moments on singles
3 new DP18 clears in a row! - DP18 #39 (Astrogazer) - DP18 #40 (Maxx Unlimited X-Special) - DP18 #41 (New Decade) Assorted singles scores from today! - 8p miss flag on Sakura Sunrise ESP - Good run on Love You More, held gold until the last stream - Pretty good MA flag on Disco Tokyo, misread something as a gallop - 16p increase on Scarlet Police ESP! Very happy with that, but I can definitely get it lower - Prettiful flag! It's this close to budging 👀 - SP12 SDP #33 (Sumidagawa) - 2k bump on Kilonova! Banger chart + song - Blue FC on Sky High 20th Anniversary Mix CSP! - 2k bump on Golden Arrow CSP! I was comboing a lot of the streams this time, felt really great! Now to iron out the rest of it... Attempts on DP18s and DP19s - Possession CDP: peep that triple digit max combo! Made it to the death run, still a bit far away from a clear - Valkyrie Dimension CDP: Almost got it, made it to the final speedup - this one seems promising! - Shutter Girl CDP: Another close one - made it to the third set of crossovers in the ending! Could be a good clear...? - Lachryma EDP: My shoelaces didn't come undone this time, yaaay! Made it to the death 12ths, as expected. Revisiting this one later, once I'm a bit closer to the DP18 clear lamp MA hours on doubles! - Filled out my DP ceilings to be SDPs, and now I have that from 2-13! - DP11 SDP #1 (Nanahoshi) - DP12 SDP #1 (I'm Flying Away) - DP12 PFC #47 (Mess with My Emotions) - DP12 PFC #48 (Concon) - DP12 PFC #49 (Dazzlin Darlin DJ Command mix) - Almost got my 1st DP MFC!

Had quite the session today!

Started with a new SP16 PFC (#9), and regained my SP15 green lamp! Long Train Runnin' 20th CSP does NOT play around 😰

(1/3)
SP16 PFC #9 (Butterfly 20th Anniversary Mix) Very happy with the MA, while it would have been nice to get 32, it's still my 2nd highest SP16 rn! That is a very fun SP16 :D Close call on Wadatsumi ESP, it's definitely possible! Kept missing on some of the streams tho... A really good flag on Butterfly 20th CSP - this almost made it to 100 white, then I fumbled a crossover 😓 Ah well, that's just the MA tax! Green FC on Long Train Runnin' (20th Anniversary Mix) CSP!! This was a rough one to get - I'm just glad I got it done 😅

Huge content sesh today! Had a blast trying the GP controller songs and the 20th anniversary license challenge charts!

Very happy with the near PFC on Butterfly 20th CSP, I can definitely close it out on a good day 😄

(1/2)
Run-through of the SP14+ charts from the controller pack - SP14 PFC #169 (Get Your Wish) - SP14 PFC #170 (Wuv U) - 2g on Concon ESP - Smol bump on that nanahira song - 31k raise on Concertino in Blue - SP16 AAA #81 (Vallis-Neria) - 19k raise on perditus paradisus Run-through of the 20th anniversary license challenge charts on singles - AAA on Long Train Runnin 20th CSP - it's a rough 15 - SP16 AAA #80 (Butterfly 20th Anniversary Mix) - I could PFC this if I nail all the 24th bursts, almost got there with 3 out of 4 - Near AAA on Have You Never Been Mellow 20th - went from 978k => 981k => 987k! - SP17 AAA #15 (Sky High 20th Anniversary Mix) - 2 tries on Cartoon Heroes 20th Anniversary Mix, much tamer than P20 or Battle Against a True Hero, but still tough Run-through of all the 14+ charts for the controller pack on doubles - Nearly AAAd Get Your Wish and the nanahira song - DP14 AAA #145 (concon) - DP14 AAA #146 (perditus paradisus) - DP14 PFC #34/DP14 AAA #147 (Wuv U) - DP16 AAA #19 (Vallis-Neria) - 1st plays of Concertino in Blue and perditus paradisus EDP Run through of all the 20th anniversary license challenge charts on doubles - Long Train Runnin' CDP: a bit tamer than the CSP, but not by much - DP16 AAA #18 (Butterfly 20th Anniversary Mix) - Sky High 20th Anniversary Mix: much harder than the CSP with those 24th bursts - Have You Never Been Mellow 20th Anniversary Mix: Quite different to the CSP, still streamy but now with crossovers - DP18 clear #35 (Cartoon Heroes 20th Anniversary Mix) - I think this is my 2nd dp18 shock arrow clear? Still just as rough as the CSP
