ThirdStyle's First [UN]Official Tournament!

[SirRhythm]

A rhythm game tournament round where the objective is to not hit the arrows to the rhythm is stupid.

i had one go on each file, i'm not going to **** my muscle memory up anymore.

Question: what does this prove? it surely doesn't prove how skillful i am, i was playing on amod 1500 with a screencut and still doing decent lol.

another anti-skill round and i'll withdraw, that is all.

Right, i'm off to correct my muscle memory that this round ****ed up, thanks.

Yeh this round is pretty tough :)
For some reason my unconcious keeps making me get perfects rather than goods!

Here is the late addition for the bonus round btw: http://www.youtube.com/user/Loyal2De.../0/X_OUtuHazSU

Also, wah wah. Yes it is an anti skill round, but its not going to permanently screw you up. Your muscle memory is built in to your over a LONG period of time, and what makes us good at this game is only COMPLIMENTED by muscle memory, not controlled by it.

Its something new, and if you are truly good and understand how the game is played then achieving goods should be a bit easier for you than others. If it is not, so be it.

Well, you did post on my wall "I just FC'd Lullaby but got a massive goodrush in the final trill" Kye. ;D

No problem Flash, hope you're okay.

Joelph, it seemingly would prove how skillful you are if you're trying to inconvenience yourself and still doing well. But to believe this will **** up your muscle memory is a bit... I dunno, it seems like quite a false claim. Your sense of rhythm is completely unaffected if you change the offset to ~77 and just hit them consistently on beat or if you just screencut the receptors off and visualise them when the arrows touch the top of your screen, it's like getting all Marvelous on StepMania. And for reference, all Marvelous is an AAAA, which is -technically- impossible on ThirdStyle. (Although it didn't used to be.)

I'll update scores now.

Nice video L2D. :P Don't you have a light though? xD I think we're gonna keep a note of all the videos and split the pot between them all at the end so people can submit videos late for whatever reason and we'll just look 'em all over and see which get more/less StylePoints, etc.

Bonus SP if you combo the trills in a pettanko vid, by the way. ;)

[Loyal2Death]

Bonus points? Are you kidding me? I think I'd deserve to win the tournament if I managed to combo those trills like that lol.

[GHEZ119]

Well, I got like, a 70 combo on Ub3r R4ve playing pettanko and it was the second time I'd ever done it. xD (The first was playing Ub3r R4ve before that seeing if I could actually pass it.)

If I find my card reader, I'll post it. :3

Just to clarify more on the concept of "wtf is teh point of dis?", it shows an in-depth knowledge of the game. You're able to prove you can reverse engineer the game and play it in a way that is unorthodox but that strangely requires more skill. There's 4 days per round, you don't have to play non-stop trying to get as many Goods as possible, if you did a couple of initial runs and improved by 10 Goods per song per day, that's an improvement of 120 total Goods over the course of the round.

Even if we had Marvelous judgements, I think I would've stuck with this because it's counter-intuitive to a point and it allows you to play around with speedmods, screencutting, scroll directions and offsets, things people normally ignore. (I personally only changed speedmod higher and higher until I found a comfortable point and only used offset once for Wings before the fix. I've never screencut or tried down scrolling before now.)

So, yeah, tl;dr: You get to play around with the engine and prove your skill in other ways than AAA's. Believe it or not, this could well improve your PA Joelph. Once you get in the rhythm, hitting a streak of Goods is still hard because of Boos/Greats, the timing window is less than 1/3 of the size of the Perfect window and it's tough.

I've never gotten an AAAA, have you?

[samurai7694]

damn it, had I known this round was to get as many goods as possible...that's what I get for not reading >.>

w.e I'm going to rush some scores since I g2g soon

Learn2readbeforeyougetstupidlygoodscores. ;D

Bulgariabg, I'm not sure if you're a spambot or a real person that's just idiotic, but I'll go with spambot. :B

sorry im not good at being horrible

[kisler]

updated with linebro's scores. for some reason, this seems like ludicrous fun and i ought to try it immediately.

[SirRhythm]

offset 77 was the first thing i thought of lol.

sticking an offset doesn't work for me, i play with my eyes, which is why playing with or without music doesn't effect me either. all that happens is i see an arrow at the bottom, hit it at the top, the only way for me to get goods is to change my a-mod, which messes with my muscle memory, because if i change my a-mod i start adjusting to it.. which means i have to change my a-mod every other song because if i change to 1500 and get tons of goods, next song i will get less because i am adjusting.

the only way for me to be terrible bad is to goto 1500 amod and screencut.

[Kynosaur]

i play with my eyes

This for me too, mostly. I'm using offsets off about 50 and still playing slightly offbeat. I can't do this for too long at a time because it takes so much more concentration than playing "normally" (aiming for perfects) :3

EDIT: Also, so George doesn't tell me off again for being lazy... -_-

I tried to use a higher A-mod to no avail (I just adjusted to it automatically). Using a higher A-Mod *and* a negative offset actually managed to make me PA even. So I just kept the offset and A-mod normal and just look further down the screen.

[3lijah]

Do I post my score here or...? idk...



Its not even that good, my fingers just decided to be lazy and dick me over :/

Set your offset to -60 more than whatever you had before.. then you'll be hitting it on beat still
