A short [14][32] run at 146 BPM isn't fast enough to merit a VC rating. All of the jacks at the end are repeating the first jump with the exception of one, which is a split-handed jack that only involves you hitting a L then a D as 16ths.
    Says who? If only 2 players out of the 66 this song was intended for (and have actually played it) can AAA this file, it has to be somewhat difficult, right? I think the strange polyrhythmic patterns are being ignored here and are the main contributing factor to screwing people up.

    Face it the patterns in the first half of the song are splitty and somewhat awkward to hit ([13][24][13][24][13]2 and [24][13][24][13][24]3).
    The patterns in the second half are just plain weird, much more technical than even the harder range of 9s currently in-game.
    And then there was that [14][23][14] jumptrill that was even tripping up D6 players.

    People generally use the "the individual components of this song aren't that hard" argument when trying to get a file placed at a lower difficulty. You're right, the individual parts of the song aren't hard, but when they're all put together it builds up to become a very challenging file.

    On the side of nerves, the least awkward part is in the beginning, but it's still awkward enough to cause some kind of nervousness when it's over out of fear you're going to screw it up. Then there's that trill which is the 2nd most awkward part of the file. AAA that and you're really nervous because you're almost done with the file. THEN there's the most technical and tricky part of the file, the ending, which is way harder to AAA when you're nervous after AAAing the first half of the awkward chart. There are more factors than just the individual parts. This is the primary reason why I think so few people have AAAd their round 1 song in D4.

    Sorry about holywallsoftext

            tightrope city - simple easy file, the song was pretty good

            Keep on Driving - this seems like something who cares would step lol. Chart was fine, nice to see more hip hop being stepped.

            Glorious morning - lol about time this finally made it through, this has been submitted over and over since like the first batch after FFRs return. Cool song, chart was pretty decent.

            Fall Silently - I might be the one of few who actually like this chart/song. lol Ending was tricky but nothing crazy. Im going to have to go against everyone and agree that this is a 9 lol

            Ambient Angels - jumpstream, automatically makes this file win.

            The Rapids - First play through I thought this one would have given me trouble but everything seemed to flow pretty well. Fun chart

                to be fair anyone that has 3 and under is very well capable of AAAing the file if they whored enough. i for one couldnt care about the AAA all i want is a pass to the next round and i got that pass when i bf'd the file

                  Not trying to start anything, but I honestly would say it's more split 75% say it's a 10 and 25% say it's a 9.

                    Seeing as it's already been changed to a 10, there's really no need to keep arguing for it.

                      Man, I really can't stand the song for the D2 chart. I wish I could AAA it and not have to play it again, but I keep picking up a couple at stupid random places. Need consistency D:

                              Think they wasted all their energy on trying to get it bumped that they dont have any left to get a better score.

                                Just a though I had today... if Ambient Angels gets bumped to an 11, you better bump K8107 as well. Just a thought.
