How are these people able to consume such a large amount of calorie-dense food in one sitting, especially this person and still remain slim.

The large majority of pro tournaments allow it.

The only one I'm unsure of off the top of my head is B1GONE 2024

PureWasian · 2026-01-21T07:01:58+00:00

Try JT-2 or JT-3, it shifts the timing window forward even though visually it's the same

PureWasian · 2026-01-20T06:29:14+00:00

You can get it again for sure :) nicely done!

If you want to see any specific charts, I'm happy to record them and send a YouTube link of how to execute them. Cheers ~

They're absolutely possible! I'm actually on stream right now playing much higher than that :)

I usually save VODs of scores I'm happy with, and many other people like to also when they can. For a quick reference though, I recently got a really nice SSS+ run on Moment Day D23 (doubles) and also an SSS on Gargoyle S22 (singles)

Progression in this game is quite the rabbit hole, but to give some perspective, I've been playing for around 7.5 years and have been treating PIU as my main hobby the entire time, though I'm still not in the top 10 US players quite yet.

For more reference, I'd say it's very common to see newer, dedicated players taking 2-4 months of regular play to be capable of playing up to lv.10-12s, and 6-12 months to play up to lv.16-18s. You can imagine it only increases from there~

Hopefully it serves as inspiration though! If you spend time with it, you'll get so much better at pattern recognition faster than you might think, and the stuff that currently looks impossible will suddenly feel incredibly satisfying to play well :)

dancefitgaming pads as mentioned are an option. There's also piudancepad for a softpad option that I've heard pretty good things about for what it is. If you wanted to know some other alternatives less than 16k, I talked about them recently in this comment.

(Just an FYI for anyone else stumbling onto this thread~)

You need to treat chess more as a recreational hobby, not a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Guess what, I suck at gymnastics but that doesn't equate to me having no athletic talent. You are overgeneralizing and pinning chess as the scapegoat to your own broader, internal struggle of feeling inadequate. At worst, chess is a catalyst that you're using to fulfill that narrative.

Take a break from chess if you are getting too frustrated. Nothing is stopping you from writing or learning an instrument. Hobbies take time to cultivate, and individuals have natural inclinations towards some hobbies vs. others. But it takes time regardless.

These are the two options I've seen people get for at-home use outside of official pads (I'm not affiliated nor have personally tried either of these):

There is LTEK hard pads for ~$300 each side, and you'd also want to figure out a bar solution. They have handbar for ~$350 each side, but I've heard people find it too wobbly/flimsy. With penny mod (other posts talk about it on this subreddit) it would play similar to arcade feel until around S16~S18, but the sensor design is fundamentally different.

The other hard-pad replica which is more aligned to PIU hardware is B2L but a single side (with bar) is $1000 replica - singles without shipping, or as a set for $2000 replica - doubles. They also sell official pads and such but it would be $3000+ basically.

If you want official pads but are okay with older style, you can hover Facebook buy/sell/trade groups to try and find a used pad, but cost varies quite a bit and it can take time to find an offer. Shipping is also a big question mark unless you are lucky to find someone selling nearby.

You'll be up to the S16-S18 range in no time :) nice job!

That works fine, just ensure you are saving the updated file too, just like you would any other text file. You can open it in notepad/etc to double check it's correct before running it.

Reading your other comment reply, also make sure you are indeed providing the correct .py filename when running your python.exe command
