For the time being I'll remove mention of the HFF changes from the post.

Thank you for at least considering. If the file is too hard to leave ranked I completely understand that - I'm not blind that it's an incredible outlier.
I was hoping to inspire people to create files to bridge the gap as I am certain someday HFF will be within the top players grasps, but until then, leaving it public at 0 difficulty would be a great compromise.
I know it's objectively not a bad file technically and I personally really enjoy playing and seeing others play it on downrates. I just... want more than a few dozen people to be able to experience it.

It's sad to read this from a well known and respected stepartist. While I understand that some people do not like their file being rewards for tokens (and that the batch's checkboxes for release types should be respected), I can't help but feel like it's a good step in the direction of encouraging more top end players to participate on FFR and have their own, non-trivial achievements to go for.

Your file may not have been the greatest 120 there could ever be, but I'd be very damn surprised if even a handful of other stepartists could have managed to pull off a chart of this difficulty that is actually thought through. Kudos to you cornman, and I hope this doesn't deter you from contributing more awesome content to this game.

The other option is to remove the song completely, which seems like that might be a viable option if the file can't be used as a token.

Man, the pillow I sleep on at night is not nearly as soft as you are. And I paid extra for the comfy one.

After discussing with DCs and considering what they have planned, along with taking into account the new songs weights. Heartbreak Furry Fandom will be staying public at this time and it'll be moved to 130.

In the future when we have more points of reference this will most likely be up for change but for the time being, this separates it out to a much for fitting position.

In addition, ultimately while 120 was chosen as the "cap" on the difficulty scale, there wasn't a lot of songs in that range and reducing the difficulty of files to make the scale fit would be counter productive in the long run. Simply extending the upper range to make a more befitting song difficulty produces the cleanest end result of ranking files without having to give the file a 0 rating, which doesn't apply given the new agreed upon requirements for such a rating.

Probably an obvious question, but given that play more did get a "relatively" clean score during a one week tournament window, I assume it was checked what kind of score you'd need to still get high equiv from a song as high as 130?

I know the change where even your best score is <4% of your rank will mitigate that a lot, but even so.
