The Michael Phelps Finish (a.k.a winning by a ridiculously narrow margin)

[Lollaff]

although it wasn't a dethrone, I do have a screencap of me getting the exact same score as dschallert on overture

[popper141]

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 -.-'

[GeoLuz]

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.

[Hammer]

One point.

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

Perhaps a merge?

Perhaps a merge!

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.
