Day 167: 2nd Place

I woke up at 9:20am this morning. It's a good thing too, because I went to check on any updates for the Osu! Challengers Tournament and found out that I read the time wrong for my match. I thought it said 3pm my time, especially since the tournament organizer is in the same timezone as I am. But it was 3pm UTC, which is 10am Eastern Standard Time. So I didn't get to practice at all for the tournament, because I had to report in the tournament room. It was then that I was told that my training partner had pulled out of the competition, thus giving me a 25% chance of winning. As the time kept ticking, only one other player in my level arrived. The two Argentinian players that had also signed up never showed up. So, now I had a 50% chance to win.

But I lost. I only scored 42 of the 49 points maximum for the maps. The other player was just better than I was. I didn't practice nearly enough. My problem was that I had trouble transition from the spins to the lines. I couldn't find where the cursor was located after the spin, and then I would miss a note and thus break the combo. I came close to winning a couple of the maps, but I couldn't pull through.

Oh well. I am not an osu!standard player anyway. I entered just to see how well I could do. I came in second place in an originally 6-player tournament. One player switched to a different level, and three didn't show up. So, though I don't have any tangible proof of my 2nd place finish, I know that I was able to come in 2nd Place in a tournament.

Most of this evening I spent playing Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest.  It's a nice game so far.  I have already recovered one of the four crystals.  I think I will play it some more after I post this.

Also, I had no idea that there were Sailor Moon video games on the Super Nintendo.  This was news to me!

Anyway, that's all from me for now.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
