1st big jump: Making the extraordinarily difficult decision to buy 3rd and 4th CS (the reasons for it being extraordinarily difficult already well-chronicled by me in the past)
2nd big jump: Learning the benefit of HS, which happened about a couple months before 8th Style hit the market. No, of course I'm not kidding.
3rd big jump: Clearing Regulus 7K (4 attempts, 80%, 78% twice before that, only time ever I used Random). Gah-freakin'-mahn, baby.
4th big jump: Learning the value of Hard, which to date has allowed me to clear at least four songs I couldn't clear normally in a jillion fillion chillion schpillion years.
Thus leading to stone cold dead solid straight-down-the-middle status, which I've remained at to this day.
