You guys can totally disregard my opinion if you want (since I have only been with FFR for a few months) but Dead and Direct doesn't seem deserving of its 74 rating. The only parts that seem worthy of the mid 70's are the scattered 64th bursts and the 64th trill (oh the horror) that make it hard to AAA. Otherwise, the song is pretty simple with 16th jumps/jumpstreams and a few short 32nd streams at 100 bpm. When I first played it (and this is coming from a guy who can only 85% CIA Rave) I got an 84%, and after a few more tries up to a 90% (albeit with some substantial boos that came from mashing those 64th bursts). The song is quite easy to FC for its difficulty, however you could make an argument for it staying where it is since it is hard to AAA. Anyways, just wanted to see if anyone else shared my opinion!
