This will be the 2nd most embarrassing moment of my SH-life, but I took a picture, I'll submit it, and goodbye leagues.

Right now, on this saturday night 11pm, I really do NOT feel like grinding a song I once was able to fc, for a hypothetical refc (with a crap score because I had already reduxed this almost properly when I was able to hit the notes better), pulling my hair out in the process, JUST to see myself losing by a million points. I wasn't expecting anything on Expert anyway, so no big deal.

Since I can't save myself the humiliation, I'll at least save my soul by still submitting the score and NOT spending any more time on this.

As a nice bonus, tomorrow morning when this whole... debacle will be over for me, I'll show you what measure of the song trolled me. Hint : no, it wasn't m129.

Hello kids, and welcome to your quarter final results:

#1 Bj0rn 291,234 v #8 eddaket 290,678

#19 Rocker0913 277,341 v #4 Chupacabraz 290,478

#3 alexhaz64 291,026 v #6 The-B.O.D. 290,806

#10 arvain 283,761 v #2 UndeadFil13QC 290,954

The brackets in the league interface will probably say that Rocker0913 didn't submit, but he definitely did submit a score to me. Just throwing that out there for y'all.

Semi-Finals

Song: The Way It Ends

Due: June 18, 2013 @ 11:59 PM (that's 3 days from now, if you're really struggling with the concept of time refer to the pretty chart JCirri whipped up here or heck, just check the submission page and work it out from there)

#1 Bj0rn v #4 Chupacabraz

#3 alexhaz64 v #2 UndeadFil13QC

Good luck kiddies!

*sigh*

I'm very tired of the same songs being picked in both the H and X leagues. FCPREMIX, SBTD, Black Sunshine, CoP, and now TWIE. I just wish there was a bit more variety.

That being said... I don't expect to make it to the finals. Of all the songs, it had to be TWIE. not only will it be a very difficult song to FC, but it is ridiculously hard to squeeze. I suppose I could pull off something unexpected, but Undead should have an easy time making it to the next round

Lol, nah I guess the "easy optimal" songs were probably removed from the list.

Also, for the record, it was m73.

Yep, right after the orange sustain : since pinky was unable to trill, I was in position 3, ring finger on the orange. Makes sliding back a little awkward. Sure enough, once I missed there, I fc'd the breakdown (that I couldn't fc on full speed or even on slow during the previous 15 mnutes). I also missed one of the trills on another run, though. m141 is one of the troll traps in which I've never ever fallen, even stressed out by a "omg first time fcing up to there!". I don't know why, because I fail on parts that are not even traps

But like I said, no regrets there : I barely got the green m50, missed both the yellow AND the red m69, and the green m110 and m132

So 290k was out of the question

Like a boss. I'll think twice before signing up for the next leagues on expert.

Good luck to you Alex. I'll see if I can pull something decent this time. The last time I tried to squeeze TWIE I ended up missing like 800 on every activation >_>

And for the finals, if I even get there, I'm hoping for a very difficult song. RaBl or TTFAF maybe?

EDIT: Not too difficult of an FC after all, but pretty tiresome. It's great training for ItO though. I have only spent about half an hour playing for this round so far, I hope I'll have more time for attempts in the next two days. Maybe I'll get a good score too, who knows.

So, I'm almost positive I hit everything in the 100% path except the trill act (-200) and the double on the last act (-200), which would make my score like 2909xx. I got 2906xx... I lost a lot of fucking ticks lol.

Well, I'm glad I lost to a new first place score at least, and not a score I could have beaten.

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa whoa. I just got a score that is well above my expectations. I have high hopes for this round.

This song wears down my patience faster than any other song, and I don't have much of it to begin with either. I've managed to develop a mental block at measure 170, and after 15 or so misses at that point, I'm too frustrated to continue.

I'm really sorry for giving up, there is just no motivation left in me.
