Current IIDX progress & goals/whatever

I started this blog with the intention of journaling my IIDX progress. One of my regrets is that I haven’t kept track of my progess well enough to be able to paint a picture of my progress.

I hope by documenting my progress, I will be able to figure out what works for me and to improve at setting realistic goals.

Timeline of my IIDX journey

  • 2021/04/06 - Got my controller
  • 2022/01/10 - BISTROVER SP 七段
  • 2022/07/02 - CastHour SP 八段
  • 2023/09/19 - RESIDENT SP 九段
  • 2023/10/04 - RESIDENT SP 十段

Took a couple long breaks here and there, but I’m aiming to play 2-3 times a week now.

Current progress

IIDX

Currently I am SP 十段 in EPOLIS.

My playstyle is 1048 + 2:5 split on 1P. Due to hand size constraints and existing RSI issues (thanks osu!), I’m finding it difficult to hit 3 with my thumb or wrist scratch 🫠. I’m sure I’ll find the solution to that eventually.

BMS

I only started playing a week-ish ago, but hopefully I’ll slowly start populating these tables.

Goals and whatever?

I don’t really want to be setting any unrealistic goals, but I’m hoping by the end of next month:

  • SP 中伝
  • Clear 50% of 地力 A
  • Get some 地力 A+ lamps
  • Clear 50% of sl4
  • Get some sl5 lamps
  • Hard clear 50% of all ☆11s

Concluding remarks

I’m thinking of updating this blog every month and refine my goal setting process. Unfortunately my full-time job side gig consumes a lot of my time and energy and may deter me from achieving my goals.

I wrote this blog during work and it’s 5pm now, so I’m gonna head off and go play some IIDX. Catch you in the next episode. 👋
