Songs of the Week (November 10, 2012)

Re: Songs of the Week (November 10, 2012)

Yeah, I'm really excited to have Vortex on FFR because not only is it one of the craziest songs in the game, but it's also one of the files I'm very proud of. Atomhead is excited as well, and he told me to notify him once Vortex was in game so he could make a blog/facebook post about it.

fun fact: I had fixes I was gonna send in that would have lowered the difficulty to a low 80 but lol I forgot to send 'em.

Anyways, hope you enjoy Vortex !! (and don't say you don't like it because of "mad cuz bad" !!) !!

Also, I nearly AAA'd this one-handed in StepMania when I saw it in the batch - it most definitely caters to one-handed players, haha

Huh, maybe I'm just really outta date cause I never got good at one handing beyond AAAing 5's on the old scale. But seeing 1 3 4 ish sort of stuff makes me kinda cringe at the thought of doing them one handed.

Eh apparently I am just out of date I guess.

Choofers, Vortex is proof to me that you need to step more hard shit. *nod*

yeah this was actually very fun on my sight read - but I knew when I saw it was stepped by you I remembered how fun my half was so I had high hopes for it to be fun and it was.

Just think of it as if you're playing it on the arrow keys with three fingers. You're using those three fingers almost right in a line. It's like hitting 123 on spread (or 234, whichever is more comfortable for you), it's REALLY comfortable to do that with that style of play.

There's no way that Vortex is an 86, haha; that chart is absolutely absurd in some sections.

Vortex looks really fun.

It looks higher than 88 honestly haha, some parts are just brutal.

Re: Songs of the Week (November 10, 2012)

Just got 4g on Vortex, and it's a shame because I actually hit the 13-note 64th burst with only one good this time. I also AAA'd the last 400 notes, too.

Re: Songs of the Week (November 10, 2012)

We live in a sad, scary world where Vortex is an 86 and FREEDOM DIVE is an 87.


Lol.

Re: Songs of the Week (November 10, 2012)

Vortex probably should be in the range of really high 12/low 13 on the old scale simply because of combo/scoring difficulty. Anyone consider this to be an 89 like I do? I might be pretty biased because of my inability to do fast jacks...

EDIT: yeah, I give up trying to get a better score - I'm not enjoying playing the file knowing that I can blast through the ending where it takes legitimate speed but can't get past the 64th mini-walls because I can't jack fast enough; w/e, 4g is fine I guess

I was just going to suggest 89.

It is clearly harder than the 88s, yet it just doesn't feel hard enough to be 90. Plus, we are in need for some 89s anyway.

Re: Songs of the Week (November 10, 2012)

Yeah, I'd say that it's 89 (90 even) in terms of scoring/combo difficulty. I don't think you're biased at all, the file's just relentless in the last 30% of the file rofl, in terms of scoring.
