    Over The Frail Dream

    This song is absolutely VERY CHALLENGING. BPM about 200 and long streams. Can't be the first challenging song I can't fc

    I believe tass said that had the song been a little longer, it would have been very challenging. But since the song is so short, only challenging.

      Index friendly stream is hard for me to combo, fun sim though. I agree, it's a 9.

      I'd say Survive is also a 9 but feh.

          Can't agree with you. Balloon fever and silence are both easier than this and they are 11

            I saw it's a challenging but because of fast streams it makes it seem harder and it is a tad harder to AAA. *Still havn't AAA it*

              From the front page:

              Over the Frail Dream is a fairly well known StepMania song by Phantasma. For FFR, it is stepped by SulferDragon and has some 200bpm stream, but not much. Mostly 8th notes. I’ve rated it a 9. I’m aware it’s a 10 with framer issues, but I’m assuming down the road that that fix will be public, so I’m starting to rate based on that assumption.

                I just find the length bias in difficulty ratings kind of stupid. I know I've said this before, but a pattern that is hard enough to be a difficulty 10 is a pattern that's hard enough to be a difficulty 10. If it's 40 seconds of difficulty 10 patterns, that doesn't make it a 40 second difficulty 9, that makes it a 40 second difficulty 10.

                {Rose} is easier than this and is a difficulty 10.... makes me laugh.

                      Yeah, it's totally a 10. The streams are ridiculously fast for a 9 difficulty.

                          But if you consider the song to be rated based on its difficulty with respect to AAA'ing and FC'ing rather than just the raw difficulty of the steps themselves, songs that are quite long give more time for something minute to go badly. It is much harder to AAA a song of consistant difficulty 10 that is 6:00 compared to a song that is consistantly difficulty 10 that is 1:30. Lag, twitchy finger, etc.

                          If you assume that the length factors into the songs you're comparing new songs to, it makes more sense that the length would factor into the one you're trying to gauge.

                            For example Brooks Was Here... that song is "challenging" but look at the song length, very short. I sight read AAA'd it (un-recorded)

                            Also another thing. Songs should not only be rated lower but some higher. For examples those long emo songs in rock. AAA'ing those, a pain.

                              If that song was 3 minutes or longer with the same difficulty steps throughout, I doubt many could sightread AAA it lol
