Round 1: Necroxus (0-0-0-0)
Cutoff: 6-1-0-0 (7.8rg)
This file is amazingly fun. I was a tiny bit worried about the ending, since there are some tricky patterns there, but luckily I was able to lock down the AAA after a couple of attempts.
Favorite file release of this round: The End of Dreams

Round 2: Parallel Skydive (0-0-0-0)
Cutoff: 5-1-1-1 (9.4rg)
Really love the vibe of this song, the piano is so nice. Warmup was kinda mehhh today, so I was pretty surprised to pick up the AAA on the first attempt. Definitely lucky from the standpoint that I think mindblocks would set in on this file pretty quickly.
Favorite file release of this round: tossup between Illumination Reel and Angel's Salad

Round 3: Dancecore Moldovenesc (1-0-1-0)
Cutoff: 8-1-0-3 (10.4rg)
This is yet another fantastic file. I had some slight hesitations on how scoring would go for this file, both because some of the bursts are tricky and also because there are definitely some people in D6 who can crush this sort of file. Picked up a 1-0-1-0 on my 3rd attempt and then saw my scores start to move in the wrong direction on subsequent attempts... so in the event that I can't improve this score again, I'm hopeful 3.4rg is enough to see me through to round 4.
Favorite file releases of this round: Organ Lesson, Dancecore Moldovenesc, [line:zeta] (picking just one file is too hard...)

Round 4: Swamp Thing v2 (7-0-1-1)
Cutoff: 3-0-0-0 (3rg)
I quite enjoy this one, but it quickly became apparent during the round that the cutoff was going to be tight. Grinding this endlessly wasn't appealing to me, since I'd rather come back to and enjoy this file after the OT... so I was okay with going out this round.
Favorite file release of the ronud: Swamp Thing v2
