9th Official Tournament: Round 1 Discussion

[Plan_Bsk81127]

Find it funny some people think the D7 chart was easier than the D6. I found the D6 chart to be pretty damn easy for a 74, I actually thought it was overrated. haha

Not going to post full reviews, but to sum it up: Not much to say on D1-D3, decent songs, straightforward charts. D4 was pretty tricky, wasnt a fan of the chart, but its a nice challenge right out the gate for them. D5 sucked, both the song and chart. It was just straight up boring. D6 was surprisingly fun with a decent song, didnt plan on that going into it based on the artist and step artists. Was expecting more bursty shit. D7 was a pretty sick chart. Wasnt fond of the 64ths, but solid chart for first one in the game, nice job.

Ooooooo the whip is going to give me a lot of trouble, at 17 goods right now-_- I will SDG it at the least!

2 clean on division 5 song, 6 clean on division 6 song and 1 clean on division 7 song hehu. IMO from hardest to easies D6, D5, D7 haha

I think the D7 song is amazing, gonna still play that file even after i AAA for sure!!!

[Charu]

You're all crazy.

Like someone already said in the thread, Mirage Garden tries its darnest to be very flowy while being fast. The D6 song in comparison is not nearly as fast but has some rigid parts that add some sudden spikes.

The difference here is one has a lot of jumps plus a few bursts while the other is fairly consistent in difficulty making it feel easier than the D6 song.

What I'm really saying is someone who isn't comfortable playing fast won't do Mirage Garden well is all.

Just my personal outlook on the two files, heh.

[EzExZeRo7497]

I'd say it's the contrary to be honest, people aren't fast would probably have more issues with Guile of the Rime King more than Mirage Garden... I found Guile of the Rime King much easier than Mirage Garden, but a lot of people tend to say otherwise

I know eh?
you feel like there should be some swing to it, i think cuz of note choices. but it's one of those sections where i'm always on the edge of completely losing it. and i do regularly

[j-rodd123]

mirage garden is easier imo, although I sightread a shitty score when having dead hands :\, I kept AAAing to just after 1700 before fucking that part up, but I can prolly AAA and will try today.

[L.B.D.D]

mirage garden is supposed to deceive you

the notion that d7 might not be so bad is just a miRaGe..

[Flaming_Dingleberry]

See you next round D5 bitches.

hahaaaa i remember you! seems like this is the 2nd or 3rd time we've been the same division. cool to see our skill progression is somewhat identical

[_Fluttershy_]

D1: Their file was simple but straightforward, a nice easy file to play to. Good job man! 7/10
D2: Not a fan of this file at all! 4/10
D3: Nice job Xiz, really liked how well the patterns went! 8/10
D4: A tough, quick but really well-stepped file. Again Xiz, becoming one of my favourite steppers on this site! 9/10
D5: It took me a while to AAA, but this file is still pretty awesome. I liked it a lot and I've struggled with your files before Razor heh! Nice job! 8/10
D6: Definitely the best file of the 7, awesome job Fission! Loved how well this file flowed, was awesome! 10/10
D7: Another really well-flowing file although really easy for D7! Guile was more D7 than this for sure! But awesome file nonetheless! 8/10

Changed The Whip's rating to 56 57 without Rob's/Eze's permission because they're gay <3

In all seriousness though: it might be higher than 56 57, but I'd rather be safe and not risk a Scarhand [Standard] unlock if a 57 58 rating is incorrect to difficulty consultants.

EDIT: Never mind; I thought that 57-65 was Scarhand [Standard] range, but it's 58-65. Bumped to 57 temporarily until Rob and/or Eze give opinions and request it changed.
