Ahahaha OMG I laughed so hard at this. (agreeing with you Stavie). Runnymorning is pushing FGO and we are talking about a VC for it?????

Too funny guys, too funny.

Overall, I found all the songs (well, the hardest 3) to be incredibly awkward. Fun, yes, but strangely awkward. Angels just felt very strange toward the end (not bad, just strange), the "9" is awkward as hell (no explanation needed), and Rapids... don't even get me started. I have never dumped so many random goods on awkward sections in my life.

This also upsets me and is my biggest complaint with the tournament is that I know I can never get those prizes unless some pros take a fall. The Guru's division has the biggest skill gap of any division, and it doesn't even feel worth trying to crack top 8. We have people in this division who are at my skill level and a littler lower. People who are barely scraping away at low level FGO's are in the same division as Dossar, Samurai, EA and Halogen, who can AAA all the way up to 89's and 90's. It just doesn't seem like we have a chance unless someone doesn't try. I was hoping their would be a guru's division and then a gods division with around 15-20 players who have consistent FGO AAA's, because people like me, All-Pro, bballa and iironiic, really can't crack top 8 if everyone is being fully competitive. This isn't any offense to anyone else, but I'm sure we all know we can't AAA Strawberry Sweetz or SDG Eclipse Solar, and yet there are far more than 8 people in this division that can.

I love how I said I personally wouldn't care and you guys turn it into a shitstorm. lol

But Runny Morning nearing an FGO? comon that's just ridiculous. That was like my 1st FMO FC and that's when I was barely a D2 player.

I'm glad you're so good at jacks, that was one of my last FMO FC's, and one of the hardest AAA's for me, if trills were you're thing, I'm sure FotBB would seem like a VC. And you call me subjective. The gap between FC and AAA is astronomically huge. I can FC DP, not ever gonna even come close to under 200 goods. When I first started this game, I could mash an FC on OMW, doesn't mean it's not insanely hard. Runny is very hard to AAA, way more than any VC and most FMO's

I really think we need a loose system in place where anything harder than x song in y difficulty is y+1 difficulty.

[TC_Halogen]

Ambient Angels can go either way, 10 or 11. People obviously don't seem to listen.
Fall Silently can go either way and honestly, in my opinion it should even be CONSIDERED for a 10 rating. Those are my personal opinions using chart structure, speed, and density, all things that are objective ratings.

and for the love of god RunnyMorning (SGX Mix) is not even -close- to a FGO, I've been on this site since average-misses were removed and I to this day never considered it to be anything more than a low end 11. 16th streams at 150 in the beginning of the chart make it a 9, the broken jumpstreams make it a low 10, the part just before the jack/trills and the jack/trills themselves make the chart a high 11, maybe low 12 at best, and then the rest of the chart is a 10 with 11-esque jumpjacks for mere fractions of a second. And you want to call it close to a FGO?

the only reason why people are fighting so hard to bump files that are rated effectively based off of objectivity is that they feel it's a chance to increase the value of their AAA estate. it's getting absolutely ridiculous now.

Where did I ever say it should be a 10? I said I wouldn't care. There's a difference. So because you suck at jacks that means it ultimately has to be more difficult right?

I just noticed you've only been a member for 2 years. How'd you get such a giant skill increase? I remember now when you first joined you were slightly above my level and then an FMO wiz, now you're avrank 1. I just didn't realize it's only been 2 years. Was it stepmania? Because my skill hasn't increased for like ever so yeah tips appreciated man. And I don't think Runnymorning is anywhere near FGO, but I definitely don't think it's even considerable for a VC. It's a mid FMO, which is where it is placed. However it might be only me but I feel Caprice is actually an easier overall file but that's just my jack suckage speaking

No. Because the file has multiple combo breaker moments for the players learning to FC and for those AAA'ing it's quite a challenge regardless of blue note syndrome and incorporates one handed trill with gaps into the difficulty spike areas. It's a mid FMO, but in no way a VC. You aren't even top 200 in the song so I don't know why you are trying to convince people that can AAA tons of FMO's but have trouble cracking under 4 goods in this song that it's not hard when you can't even top 200. I suck at jacks hard, I suck at Counter Strike Gun Sounds and can AAA nearly any FMO more consistently than that song. I would never even think of making it FMO. Runnymorning is based around the song has been around for ****ing ever and only has 35 AAA's. ONLY 35. Lolo has a little less than twice as many AAA's and has been around for less than half the time and is a higher difficulty, and people still have tons of trouble with Morning, people who can AAA tons of other FMO's and get decent scores on FGO's. That's why I find it FMO.

You know I seriously think you don't bother to pay attention to what people say at all. AGAIN I never said it WAS a VC, I said I wouldn't care if it got dropped. So why the hell are you trying to convince me of anything. I DON'T CARE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS FILE. And I know I'm not in the top I haven't played it in over a year. I'm sitting on 17/2/0/11 from when the site came back. Which is actually better than I can do on some 10s lol.


On another note if you want to continue this take it to the ingame song info thread where I'm about to move these posts anyway. This thread is for the tourney songs.

Problem is there are other divisions too. Same could be argued for D1~5, there's definitely a range of player abilities in those divisions too. Then we would need another maybe 5 divisions to account for everyone's level

Its impossible to fit everyone into the same skillrange without being dispute, at least this time there's a D6. Last time there was only D1~5, that would be even more restrictive in placements (not taking player improvement rates into account)

There is a fine line where placements could go; e.g. what about the borderline cases? A player that if placed in D4, would sweep the opponents off their feet and if placed in D5, would not stand a chance against others. Its not so convenient that throughout the entire range of players participating in this tourney, that if you arrange the participants from weakest to strongest, that there would be evenly 5 cases of notable skillgaps between consecutive players (which would group 6 categories of players into their respective divisions). That would be ideal but in reality its not the case

Just to put my two cents in, I think Ambient Angels should be an FMO. The way I see it, it's EHHS v. really dense, so...

kinda agree, although there are only 4th , 8th and 16th , the song's end makes it a easy FMO

[jimerax]

well Excite bike is off because BPM is wrong (kinda hard to detect accurately on such a short song tho), in addition to offset issue.

fixed now.

ps brb checking recent files

[iironiic]

+1 to Ambient Angels being an FMO (EHHS < Ambient in terms of density)

[emulord]

Why are so many difficulties undetermined? Why not just copy from the old thread, and guesstimate the new songs and wait for people to bitch about incorrect ones. Better to have a rough 1-100 estimate than not.

[jimerax]

Do you really think you can get correct ones by people's bitching?

All we need is a person (or a couple of persons) who is active on the game/forum and has a quite consistent and objective skill in difficulty rating (I have no idea who's the most suitable for this nowadays).

[qqwref]

I was in a little group of people who were going to sort all the songs into a 1-15 difficulty scale, but we quit because we never got the go-ahead from an admin. Maybe you should actually go and select one of the many people who have volunteered to do exactly what you're talking about.
