1) Once again there is zero chance of all this happening. This is more of a ongoing list.
2) My number 1 goal is ddp doj white label. I'd be happy with just that to be honest.
Yup easy 10 for me, plays like an arcade game and the skill ceiling is obscenely high. The 64 version sucked compared to smk, felt like playing in slow motion.
My playstyle is hybrid das and tapping but I'm not a hypertapper as my max tapping rate is similar to what you get with das. I make use of das + extra quick tap technique a lot as well.
I've tried playing around with rolling but can't get it to work at all.
19 speed took forever for me to get decent at. Still screw up all the time at it. 19 maxout is probably my next goal but that is much harder (current pb is 820k)
