what is your closest captured throne and closest come to a capture?

For me I captured a throne by 7 points on the song Can't Help falling in love by Ateens after the game didn't save my score that beat it by about 500.

My closest miss was by 5 points on the song The Name Of The Game by Ateens. The funny thing on my missed capture is the reason I blew the capture was because i blew the clean finish by hitting the last purple block of the whole road.
Luckily I went back and played it and got the throne capture by knowing I couldn't hit the last block for clean finish.

Never anything close like 7, but I have missed thrones because I did something stupid like miss a clean finish at the end. v_v

It's an interesting thread, but I fear I don't remember. I had an epic contest with Blazted, always getting JUST over each other's score, until he got better and now I can't catch up -.-'

My closest to a throne was misses by a few hundred points. But I've never had anything as close to a throne by missing a less than 100 points. Missing thrones by a few hundred points makes me feel more encouraged about wanting to keep playing the song until I capture the throne.

I hear that especilly because it makes you feel like you can get it if you just get that one or two missed blocks during the song.

One point.

I've actually tied someone's score at one point too.

I do not know any close finishes I had, because

-I only check if I beat my personal score and
-whether I'm on the global top 11.
  => If not, then I see 11th person's score.
  => If I am, I celebrate and don't look at anything else.
