1617-41-4-2-15 first run lmfao

also, tourney was fun while it lasted...

PS: I disagree with the majority and would say that most, if not all the files where pretty awesome and appropriate for their chosen Divisions.

omg go away, halcyon is NOT an fgo lol
it's like some bastard cross between aim burst and some fmo that has dumb 24th patterns

Summer Time Perfume? Another bmah file that by all rights is a VC, interspersed with FMO level bursts.

Lol wut? AIM Burst is straight up stream with small jump gluts that flow nicely, Halcyon has the most aggressive jumps and patterns I have ever SEEN. These patterns make Pants and Kidney Stone feel flowy (Pants is just longer and Kidney much more dense), and I hate that the jumps change, it's not all 8ths, they sneak 16th jumps in there too. The difficulty of the file is not mega stream with some bursts and jumps, it's that you have 2 minutes of consistently aggressive jumpstream with terrible patterns that can be tricky to read that go into tons of bursts SURROUNDED by more jumps that go into more aggressive stream. It's a pretty much non stop finger ****, and then it ends by putting in some mini jacks to shave off you remaining good score. AIM burst is pretty much straight stream then it hits a half second jump part that ends soon and the patterns are mainly rolls and basic stream patterns.

As wc mentioned, the ones who actually speak their mind and assert their point of "Why this file is rated inaccurately" only make up a small percentage of players. Honestly, the only way to actually settle difficulty debate matters fairly are with public polls/surveys of some sort asking for the actual community's input as opposed to the abysmal percentage of people complaining. Although at the same time it's very likely a shitstorm will ensue, lol.

It's not a big deal. It's not the end of the world. Ratings don't define the file at hand, it's just there to guide you aka "WHOA THIS IS RATED AN 11 IT MUST BE HARD". Play the files and disregard the numbers for once.

hence why I said "bastard cross"

there's also terms like "low-FMO" and "high-FMO." it evens says this is a high-FMO on the front page.

maybe it'll get bumped up to FGO, maybe not. maybe you're just bad at it (like me) I'm terrible at some FMO's (the high ones), I'm pretty good at the low ones.

Thank you for posting this.

[kmay]

you know the D5 song is a FGO... not subjective. D5 players should not be scoring so poorly on an FMO


not even a single clean score yet.

everyone in d5 is bad
not subjective

[igotrhythm]

Hrgh. 30 plays in a row and the best I can manage on D4's song is 7-0-0-1, which is right at the line. (I have a 6-0-0-2 unrecorded, score is in the system and I have PMed Velo the link to the replay since I ran into this issue last round.)

This is going to be a REALLY long week. X_X

[Netjet!]

I wonder what the cutoff will be for D3...

[Magicturbo]

I'm not sure if it would fit into this thread, or another... but what if more knowledgeable people were to come up with a short list or a couple songs that would be best to practice for each Division's round? Something close in difficulty or in pattern practice that matches up similarly to the tourney song at hand, because people like myself are less familiar with everything and to training to improve I'd personally be blindly playing everything to try and improve.

Just figured it might be helpful for some people...

EDIT: Or any single song really. Just anything. I'm obviously requesting help for anything similar to D2's but idk if others like this idea

[Mike Weedmark]

Stavie's opinion is my opinion. Borderline FMO/FGOs do exist, but to call Halcyon an FMO is miles into you're goddamn kidding me territory. It's aggressive the way Grind and Gunkinen are aggressive. I like the word aggressive to describe it, period. It's completely off-the-walls aggro. I feel like it's at least 1.5x as dense as the hardest parts of 4CT.

if i could figure out why you consider waiwai230 to be one of the funnest files you've ever played it would just be a good starting point for rating any file for YOU not the community as a whole

You say this, like you understand that it's all subjective, but then you say

technicality
fluidity
music relevance

these are the three things that make up FUN and depending on the song at hand and the stepartist there are varying degrees of each that go into the final file. until people realize this no one will get anywhere and it'll just be idiots running in circles chasing their own asses

this, like you think there are still universals that need to be followed to make a file fun. It's true that everyone's going to have their own opinion on a given file, but I disagree that finding out why one person likes one file won't help you develop some organized theory too. I'm human, there are going to be some things almost every human has in common that determine what they love or hate about a file. I adore WAIWAI's chart, and I find it strange that you don't think figuring out why might be helpful.

Actually I've been giving hints to some people individually on what songs I found were similar to practice on.

Jumper: try Streets; Keep It Short
Sunless Daybreak: idk, a lot of the earlier generic techno files on FFR (2005-2008) are like this haha...no technique to emphasize in particular
wiinter dream: try Ruins; Amefuri Koneko; Going on Spring Wind
SAMBISTA: try Hardkore Atomic
Halcyon: idk, this song tests a load of things at a fast bpm...although the jumpjacks near the end is very similar to those in Starwolf
Mourning the Lost: try Eradication

[TheSaxRunner05]

imo wiinter storm has a retarded difficulty spike in the last 15 seconds lol, doesn't feel consistent with the rest of the file

Edit:// Just noticed Bmah was the last poster =) No offense, just my 2 cents

I noticed you and Subin tend to occasionally be especially helpful. Which songs are early techno songs? =S... I lack knowledge of the songs...

[the1]

instead of talking about bad files lets talk about good ones.


like hardkore atomic.

I'm not sure you should worry about specific practice songs for Sunless Daybreak. You just need to be generally good at 16th jumpstreams. You can practice on almost any 7-9 that isn't all weirdish like Amefuri. Dragon's Final Roar comes to mind as one of the easier ones. The Prototype seems like exactly the kind of song bmah is talking about though. I could be wrong. Legend of The Starfighter too.

Although I must say, Hardkore Atomic is a pretty insane suggestion for Sambista practice. I mean, it'll work if you succeed at it. It'll work like hell. But if you can score on Hardkore, you don't need the practice.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with the ending?

I don't either lol but compared to the rest of the file it is a random difficulty jump for 5 seconds. I'm just working on not getting random goods everywhere haha
