post-CEO grind session got me some good new scores. quite fond of this one
9th / 49 in the StepManiaX bracket at CEO 2026! my timing was on point but ultimately was held back by bad execution causing costly mistakes. gotta improve my consistency if I want to place better, but I can still pull crazy stuff out of a hat more often than not. ggs
type of shit rhythm games be saying to tell you how accurate you were with the music

haven't streamed or anything lately, having a giga delayed flight back really threw life off. but at least I can still time 🧎
7th / 41 at Midsummer Melody: Golden Voyage last weekend! played extremely well for the most part, but my opponents are even better. crazy that you can 6* 24s and it isn't enough to win sets sometimes. ggs
this week, I have doubled my perfect score count on Wild 24s. absolutely ripping
my 3,700th unique perfect score in SMX. it may be possible to have 4k of them by the end of the year. I will make an effort to do so
🏅 full game perfect clear - all Dual charts rated level 20 and under (at the time of writing)! most of these were quite difficult. optimizing Dual continues to push me physically and mentally; it's been very rewarding and I'm thrilled to have made it this far.

happy to share I've started up a blog for writing about dance game-related matters! going to be focusing on StepManiaX, especially chart analyses and happenstances in the competitive scene. I'll post here when new writeups are available pilot.dance
image uploads haven't been working well here today. if this post doesn't render properly you'll have to imagine the score card for it. that being said - i'm about two decades late to learning this chart. really rewarding to figure out how to execute though! hoping to eventually push this to an APC
