so i get the feeling that, MAYBE, TENTATIVELY, this song's difficulty could POSSIBLY get bumped up a little bit? i mean it has a few more notes than other difficulty 1 songs, and number of arrows is grounds for difficulty increase, right?

let's look at some statistics.

so PWND! has been around for 1 day, and it has 1 aaa and 6 fc's. so that's 1 aaa and 6 fc's per day. let's compare it to other songs in the 1-2 region

Power is a 1, it has 10046 aaa's, 65995 fc's, and has been around for 2512 days. so that's 4.00 aaa's and 26.27 fc's per day.

Free Space is a 1, and it has 14038 aaa's and 91876 fc's and has been around for 2842 days. so that's 4.94 aaa's and 32.33 fc's per day.

these numbers are way bigger than 1 and 6.

compare it to some 2's:

Activity Unbroken is a 2, and it has 3433 aaa's and 24513 fc's, and has been around for 4003 days. so that's 0.86 aaa's and 6.12 fc's per day.

Town Theme 1 (WIP Edition) is a 2, and it has 1217 aaa's and 4250 fc's, and has been around for 1280 days. that's 0.95 aaa's and 3.32 fc's per day.

so judging from these numbers alone, PWND! would fit better as a 2 than a 1.

on patterns, PWND! has a lot of places where you have to press 2 arrows on the keyboard at the same time, which is a feature much more commonly found in 2's like Prelude No. 7 than it is in most 1's (a few, and only a few, are found in Free Space or that super mario thingy).

the only reason i can see for it staying a 1 is that it only has one colour of arrows, like Trip to the Moon (Club Remix), and Power (except one arrow), whereas many 2's have 2 or 3 different colours of arrows, which means that they are liable to confuse the player, like Excite Bike. however Counting Snow is a 2, and only has one colour of arrows; so there isn't much of an argument left for this staying a 1.

thoughts?
