Where I lie

In the realm of Stepmania, never at one point did I flourish into a proactive Simfile Artist. I do encourage the idea though, especially since worldwide game-play seems to be at a decline. I'm not the most influential player of the scene, but I've still got some skill, but ever since FFR's fall I play casually more than competitively since I'm inconsistent and just pop up the program whenever I'm bored.

Recently I've been getting back into Stepmania Solo 6-key.
Speed: C850, Distant, Noteskin: Orbular, Background: 0%, Theme: Xoon 4


My Solo skill peak probably was reached around December, but I'm working my way back up. At this point of skill, you can never really see how good you are until you warm up. It doesn't seem that you'd need it, since it's just a game, but it's actually quite parallel to physical sports. You need intense hand-eye coordination, and you have to execute reflexes in a snap, your finger flexibility must be prime, and surprisingly-- in my opinion --having a sturdy bicep/tricep build will assist you in jacks. These prereqs don't come with just one 2 minute warmup.

So I've devised a set of warmup songs for my level! I don't have one fully set out for solo songs but I do have a partial idea for Singles.

1. Dumpstream (heavy) 1250M; <15cb
2. Cruel Whole 1150M; <20cb
3. One More Lovely 1110M; <10cb
4. Cynthia (oni) 1010M; FC
5 Ageha AAA; <4p

It's definitely not complete, and it's subject to change, but this is the plan. I get my fingers moving for some jumpstream on Kommisar's "Dumpstream" (he made the simfile and the song) to get a feel for the keys, and slightly faster regular stream later on. The difference between the heavy and oni is that at the fast part, the heavy takes out the jumps at the fast part.
Following that, I get some wrist jacks in. No particularly difficult patterns here, but I feel that the jackhammer transitions will help me on the songs where there's some spontaneous jacks that determine whether I get an A or a AA. This Zaghurim file is pretty old, but I always used it to hone my jacking technique. However, this could be substituted for "I Am Maid" which focuses on jump jacks not quite as fast as this, or possibly "Maid of Fire" which includes a more varied selection of patterns.
Transitioning back to an all out jumpstream fest, Toph's One More Lovely (oni) gets me back in gear to the more traditional mid-tier simfile. There really is nothing too interesting in this file besides its relentless spewing of arrows but somehow Toph manages to make it fun and playable. Substitutable files may be Cetaka's One More Lovely if I ever manage to reach that level during a warmup session, or possibly above average difficulty Xoon files.
I put Cynthia next because it's a file I should be able to FC consistently, but I miss occasionally. I'll probably substitute this with anything I can get 98mil+ on that I should be Full Comboing or close to AAAing.
Ageha is just the timing song slot. No difficult or unique patterns here. If I can get <10perfects on a song I could substitute that in for here. I put this 5th in the warmup because I already have a feel for the keys so I should be responsive enough to get a good grade on a MA song.

Additionally, in my warmup I may change up some mods just to see how I fare or increase the judge to about 5 to 7 just to see how I do.
