Your most formidable opponents

DanyLektro or something along those lines. We're both Washingtonians, we're both metal heads, and he's a better player than I am.

After picking Audiosurf back up from, like, a 9 month hiatus, I noticed zyrkan's name appearing in my dethroned notices a lot. And of course, murlough23 ... on the pro tier (why, oh why, could it not be elite?).

I mean, come on, "Jesus Freak" is a fantastic song, but you can only hear it so many times waiting for that crazy Red Paint + Multiplier combo before you start to go insane, y'know?

I once had an epic (or something just short of epic) battle with Uupis on "Oh! Gravity" by Switchfoot. I had so many sections of that song practically memorized, it's not even funny. Not sure if he ever got that .ash file I sent him.

I'll answer that for you. Because I'm not that good at Elite.

And now I'll have to hear it many more times trying to get it back. At least you can hang on to the red paint while waiting; I just have to hope it shows up at the right time with a full field of blocks.

I've given up on ever throning that one, along with a handful of other Switchfoot songs.

I feel like I've awakened a hibernating beast or something.

When I first started playing pusher, I wanted to beat Devil_spawn and kEn_sct on a bunch of songs. All in all, I felt I somewhat surpassed them before I stopped playing as much. (not 100% and they stopped playing before that happened)

I love audiosurf and still play sometimes. [as-nogrey] on 280+ traffic trance songs is fun and I can often collect every block. Honestly I doubt anyone can step to me with that mod on fast songs

Interestingly, there may be some scenarios where missing a few bricks actually gets you a higher score than collecting them all. (Like if one column would get force cleared while you still had room to fill the others.)

Not that I have the reflexes to pull that off - any competition based on pure reaction time, I'm gonna lose. Which is why I like the Puzzle characters where you can find clever ways to manipulate the colors around and nobody seems to do it exactly the same way.

I often check out the scoreboards before playing a new song, and Kaveman tends to dominate all of them. We seem to have nearly identical music tastes...

Syuto comes along and wipes out my scores quite often with eraser.

Also, Jagori and I often battle it out, but that's usually planned.

I'm working on it!

Wait, somehow I realize this doesn't help you...

Judging from the amount of dethrone emails in the past 12 month, i definitely made a mistake when sharing my music collection with my brother:




Since Blitzschlag uses Eraser on most runs i dont respond to most dethrones coming from him (would be a short battle). Other than soundbyte who also seems to play nothing but pointman, its usually a long battle when both of us dont want to give up the throne of the same song...

[murlough23]

Add heromasu to my list. He's a Vegas Ninja. That's not as easy as it sounds on some of the high-traffic songs where I've fought through with Pusher only to still come out 50-100K behind his leading score.

[PsYKoTx]

By far, my most awesome battles have been with Syuto, but he has not played much lately.

hahaha i love you too murlough

Seriously man. What is your secret? (Aside from rejiggering certain songs to make them all downhill, of course.)

[Xeno]

well audiosurf must go through your veins! thats my secret!
and no i do not make songs downhill, thats the way i found them in the internet, and i know about which case you are talking about, but you wouldnt even believe or understand it. syuto have almost always a different song shape and everytime if i ask about a song or ash, he sends me the wrong one, so all i did was just punishment

add:
i dont even know how to open ash file lolz - maybe it works with notepad?

Haha, I thought I played often enough for that to happen. I must be doing it wrong.

I have this picture in my mind of you getting a dethrone Email and hammering away at the song over and over until you blow the other guy away. A few of the ones we've gone back and forth on, the only way  ever managed to temporarily stay in the running was fortunate placement of a few yellow & red paints. After a while I just lose patience with it and switch songs. Nothing like starting to hate one of your favorite songs when you've heard the first few minutes of it over and over for an hour!

I realize the idea didn't originate with you, due to others having an identical track shape, but this is why I lobby for different versions of a song to have different scoreboards. It kind of sucks for the rest of us who actually have the legitimate track from the CD. I would like to see how you do on that song with the correct track shape. (The vast majority of the others where you've edged me out look legit, so I realize this isn't your usual method.)

Drop the ASH file there and play the song (providing the naming is correct).

The ASH file contains the track shape and block distribution, so swapping ASH means you get the identical track shape.
