The earth blew up [10 or 11]
This song is deceptively tricky to play, nevermind AAAing. Although it starts off as a fairly tame file with familiar 16ths and jumps (and very little 32nds and no 12ths/24ths), it eventually leads to patterns that are not easy to play. It's the patterns that make this file rather difficult.
In regards to PA: - the song features a lot of repetitive patterns that are prone to splitting goods; even simple gallops like 12 12 12 12 can do this since the song features a lot of these - jump patterns that split goods: [14][23][14][23][14] coming from a one-handed trill 2/3rds through the song for instance; or even transitions to [13][24] jumps can result in split goods - 32nds in transitioning from one trill to another is awkward enough to cause mindblock hurdles - the lengths of trills in general is another example of repetition that can cause you to lose accuracy over extended periods of time - finally, the jumps embedded within long trills are perhaps the best example of a pattern that'll screw you up; PAing them requires you to transition to those jumps perfectly while maintaining the trills surrounding them In regards to comboing: - the last point as mentioned above; patterns like 32323232[13][24][13][24]32323232 are not only prone to split goods, but it's not uncommon to lose combo in those spots as well - it's easy to trip up when unexpected minijacks disrupt the continuity of a trill So yeah, I think the song is challenging to PA but there are also areas that can break your combo if you're not careful. (on a side note, out of the four songs for SOTW, this one took the longest for me to nab) I don't mind the difficulty going either way, but I'm leaning towards an 11. Thoughts? |

Those one handed trills are killer
I definitely thought it was the hardest file of the group. |

Votes for 11.
Those minijack transitions are not kind to PA. If Makiba or 0 (piano version) are remaining FMO, this surely is too.

Re: The earth blew up [10 or 11]
I have no issues with the first half of the song, it flows very well. My issues aren't as much the trills (Which from my previous threads, I'm pretty biased on), as the transitions between them. They don't flow well, the minijacks are absurd. You pretty much summed up everything Bmah. I find this chart harder to combo than k8107 and i have issues with the ending of that song too.
Definately an 11.

Re: The earth blew up [10 or 11]
I find it FMO worthy. It's so awkward since most patterns, particularly in the second half, are anchored by the up down arrows. So having to attack jumptrills and 32nds with this awkward anchor is enough for me to see this as a FMO.

Re: The earth blew up [10 or 11]
It is really hard to be consistent on this file. There is no pattern in particular that I find too hard, but by the end of it you are so sick of trilling/listening to annoying sounds that you lose focus and dump goods. Plus, it is arguably harder than the last 2 FMOs released, so that should make it an FMO.

11
this song is just awkward and has one-hand patterns that are tricky as hell. |

Re: The earth blew up [10 or 11]
this file is just terrible whichever way you look at it
but on topic: i'd say low 11. the trills in it are god awful to PA, weird transitions and overall just nasty patterns everywhere. agreed with OP. |

Re: The earth blew up [10 or 11]
okay makes sense, putting this in the difficulty change list.
