But I also think it is a fine tournament file. Bursts are patterns too, even if a lot of people are bad at them/don't like them. Cheating weird patterns has always been a thing on FFR, and it's not like D5 should be "protected" from files that might require it

Will preface this by saying I think divinity garden is a great file. That being said, I actually don't think it makes that great of a tournament file either. When you have a largely smooth difficulty curve broken by very abrupt and awkward burst patterns (to the point where that's pretty much all that determines a person with the tested skill level's score) those patterns just become unduly frustrating to deal with. I felt the same way when D4? (or was it also D5, idr) got Press Start. Press Start is honestly a pretty cool/quirky file to play when you're not really pressured for a score, but in the tournament setting it felt very out of place (esp considering pattern manipulation was like the only way you could get past the 48ths). But yeah I suck at the file (lol 7 goods) so subjectivemanias weee.

This isn't a knock at Kayla or AJ for the file selection either, just my 2¢

a lot of my score on the d5 chart was based on forcing jumptrills in certain spots (all of the 1/48 rolls) and training my muscle memory to hit fast sections accurately. it took maybe 200+ tries to get the 6-0-0-1 score so it definitely wasn't the easiest thing so far.

If combo scoring was still a thing, then I may be inclined to agree, but now that breaking your combo won't totally rupture your score, I think this is a fine tournament file. Frustration is abound, but that is part of the journey in acquiring your accomplishments, isn't it?

pretty much the only 48th section you can't jumptrill is the staircase

i'm like 90% sure i jumptrilled that in my 6-0-0-1 run

edit: i also improved my score a slight bit so now i'm not 5 points ahead of second place

[HeZe]

What staircase are you talking about? I didn't notice any.

Even though that D5 song is a minefield, it's still a great song and IMO a good choice for a tourney file. Even though it's frustrating to fuck up the bursts pretty consistently, god how it is satisfying to have that one good run which you need. What I hated the most is this pattern right here

It's actually not that bad because it comes so soon after the beginning (but it also appears again near the ending so UUHUHUH)

[shenjoku]

Even though I suck at it, I still like your file corn man <3

[remedy1502]

I personally love divinity garden, short colourful bursts are exciting

[Untimely Friction]

Due to this last spurt of lag this score did not record, but i was persistent and got the replay eventually. It's not enough to hit the cutoff and I concede that but I'd like the record to state I did in fact try! Got close but life > gaem so gg wp d6, I'll be ghosting and watching.

I have the pic on my other comp, but during the piano solo (the part in the preview) there's a 48th pattern that goes 4321234 and thus can't be jumptrilled.

[bmah]

The pattern in the picture is totally fine IMO. It's the second set of 48ths (something like 123412321) that you can't fully cheat your way by jumptrilling. That's a pretty jarring pattern for 48ths.

[blanky!]

What's worse: the 48ths correspond to two different instruments. The left->right pattern layers a keyboard and then it reverses direction for the drums. Talk about Home Run Derby levels of layering MR.HI19

[Gun92]

Damn...haven't been able to FC either first round of the second round. Way too out of practice for this game and division. Will try again tomorrow but as it stands, I don't think I am gonna make it past this one.
