I somehow managed to get a decent score with a xxxx66, but COWS is giving me all kinds of trouble, and I have a feeling it will go down pretty bad. 5 starred Institutionalized and -1 on X-Stream so I'm happy with those...but COWS is really slowing me down. We'll see!

| yea i finally figured out the trick to the 66 scores,, I actually had a 66, then hit too many notes following to stay alive. CoWS I still suck at, for some reason 'guitar riff' i think it is, still messes w/ my mind too much, as simple as it is. And I'm sorry but I'm already claiming first on Institutionalized. |

Not being able to break my high score on CoWS is making me sad.
I'm done with the other songs though.

Further improvements on two songs. That's acceptable for today.

Nice ranking right now Master:
Overall Rank: 1337th
I saw that you FC'd Mr. Fix It too... I don't know why more people don't try to FC that one. It was my first FC, and I thought it was the easiest one. |

Do you? Do you really? We'll see about that one pal.
I'm being lazy with X-Stream I think, I know I can do it but I always seem to mess up before the 3-Button chords every time. COWS Is going pretty good, I'm already ~35k higher than my previous best. I don't think I've figured out the trick to Collide, but I came out with a decent XXX,X66 score, so I think I'm done with that.

That is a pretty sweet ranking... though I'd be a bit higher if I updated my scores more often (I don't update when I'm in a league until the season is over).
Mr. Fix It was the easiest FC for me to get too (and it was the first). And I would have more FCs if I didn't screw up hard parts on easy songs (trills in Radium Eyes, end of Parasite's solo). It's my curse. =/

Thoughts as of right now.
X-Stream: I'm up to 99% notes hit. On the other hand, I know the 1% I'm missing is EXACTLY the 1% I can't afford to be screwing up.
CoWS: I'm reasonably happy with my score here, actually (A rarity!). My percentage isn't great (Somewhere around 94% I think), but I don't see myself improving this one, though I'll keep trying.
Collide: Ahahahhahaha, no.
Institutionalized: The more I play this, the more I realize how COMPLETELY FUCKING ABSURD ES's full combo of this really is. Still, I am improving this still.

Tell me about it. It seems like you could hit every note EXCEPT the ones that count, right? I was in the same boat until my hands decided not to screw up an easy part. Good luck.

But that is ES. I haven't been here that long, but I have been here long enough to know that ES is part super-guitar playing machine thing. Doesn't make that FC any less zomfg worthy though.

Well, my scores are in.
And I could cry about how bad my CoWS score is. It's about 10k less than my high score. I improved the other songs, but I'm predicting that my terrible score in Carry On Wayward Son is gonna keep me out of the playoffs.

Well, my scores are in and this will probably be my worst week. I managed a 66 score on Collide, but it sucks. CoWS and Institutionalized could have been better. X-Stream I'm happy with, although I could have done better on that too with more work.
I spent too much time playing on hard this week. At least those scores and FC's are doing well. I'm looking forward to some 1-on-1 with you folks in the playoffs!
