after rushing down 24(!) missions on Saturday and completing the first 11 missions of LINK DISC (leaving only the hardest one in the game) yesterday i've gotten a huge buff to skill in DJMAX especially after switching to a spare keyboard that can actually handle chordjacks
that just got me to beat RESPECT V FOR PLAYERS, the final mission in the base game and easily the second hardest to exist!!! I even only dropped 6 notes in nightmare's chordjack section somehow - most of my BREAK was to Mulch of all things because 5 button is really hard

here's video of what this mission is Like played by someone who makes it look easy (CW lots of flashing lights, some blood, and Mulch's weird vaguely racist BGA): https://youtu.be/0tvuNOPJvS0
Tonight if my wrists heal from my attempts yesterday I'll be retrying Resign the Rocky Studio which is absolutely this game's kaiden course with a cruel 95% rate requirement on half-size timing windows... i got stupidly close just retrying the last song but after about an hour i had to stop or i would have sprained my hands
