I am going to start with an analysis of the patterns followed by some statistics.
First 450 notes: nothing bad, just some rolls and relatively simple mini jacks
Midsection: Rolls leading into nasty framer filled polyrhythms:
~700 to ~900 Combo: Some tricky roll/mini jack transitions.
For example, there are two mini jacks leading into this.
This appears twice: a quick left/right mini jack with a tough transition leading up to it.
Then this gross spot: it is followed by another right mini jack that only increases the odds of dumping goods.
The rest of the song is nothing we haven't already seen.
Now we compare it to some other songs of similar difficulty:
Here is our subject:
This is in my opinion perhaps the best comparison: both files awkward, both released within 7 days of each other-- the only key difference is that Car Sax isn't a secret song: however, most good players have the secret songs.. right? However, Car Sax is a 74.
Here is another 71 released around the same time.
And a 73 with wayyyy more AAAs.
Here is a 73 that is a purchased song (somewhat similar to Secret)
And a non-tournament 71 with many more AAAs
Anyway, obviously the statistics can be skewed by a variety of factors, but I think we can agree that at the very least 13 AAAs is quite low for a 71. Thus, I propose we bump it to a 73 or so. (I could hear arguments for 72 or even 74, but I figure 73 is a good compromise.
