Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Going to work through all files starting from the top down to around 50, at which point I plan on outsourcing D2/D3 level consultants to help work on the lower half of the spectrum. Will bump thread with each additional update to the changelog. Hopefully by the time this is done, skill ratings will be more accurate than they currently are. Changes aren't set in stone. If a majority disagrees with a file I've moved, I'll move it to a more appropriate place (so discussion is encouraged). Keep in mind that files are predominantly rated on difficulty to AAA, not difficulty to SDG or FC.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

This is the second time I have gotten a new highest AAA and it gets bumped down a level ;-;

But in the end everything will be better I guess

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

I'll have a lot more to say when it gets down to charts I can actually play lol

Thanks for taking this task on

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

No huge complaints except Turbo... but I can't really objectively evaluate that file anyway so I don't know.

But seriously... that song is freaking brutal.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Turbo was the one I disagreed with most too.
I guess it's really a "you either can or cannot do it" kind of file.

Sorry not sorry :)


Fun fact: the 6th Official D4 finals chart is now rated just one point less than the D5 finals chart lol

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Turbo is the only one I was pretty iffy on as well, I'll move it back up.

AAA count is a tad high for an 85 but fuck it that's fine.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Are you taking suggestions about the possibility of a difficulty change or do you have people going through most songs anyways?

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

For individual songs not mentioned here, I'd prefer if threads were made (or honestly, since I'm in the middle of a massive overhaul anyways, message me on skype and we can discuss there, and I'll post any changes made in here)

Tentative changes down to 76ish after discussion with corn:

Blue Rose 82 -> 83
Integraation 82 -> 83
Casino Fire 83 -> 82
MFDFY 83 -> 82
Cutthroat 81 -> 82
Holy Orders 81 -> 82
Ehhen 82 -> 81
-+ 82 -> 81
Unicron Barbeque 80 -> 81
Steel Monster 81 -> 80
E-RB 81 -> 80
/mu/tant corecore 81 -> 80
Djentrap 79 -> 80
honki 79 -> 80
Pants 79 -> 80
Pandemonium 79 -> 80
To Make the End of Battle 79 -> 80
Nomina 80 -> 79
Return to Fire 80 -> 79
First Epidemic 80 -> 79
Ketsarku 80 -> 79
Choco 79 -> 78
Radical Rat 78 -> 79
Anti-Ares 78 -> 79
Resistance 4 78 -> 79
Chaoz Japan v2 78 -> 77
Time to Eye 77 -> 78
Aletheia 77 -> 78
Indo No Sobaya 77 -> 76
Chipscape 77 -> 76
Flesvelka 76 -> 78
Into Your Eyes 76 -> 77
Rarity 76 -> 75
Distortion Power 76 -> 75

I'll add these to the OP after I change them in game

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

nomina bumped down? eh?

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Chipscape getting bumped down, a little shocked about that but I could understand, honki imo was fine. Anti Ares and Holy Orders shock me, moreso HO though.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Yeah, this kind of confused me too.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Given length of time HO has been out, scoreboard is quite poor for an 81 (compared to another definitive 81 that's been in game almost as long such as Across Rooftops)

HO's scoreboard looks more like 11ELEVEN's, and given length + general spikiness in the midsection, the bump up to 82 seems warranted (I'll leave it alone if most of you disagree though)

Anti-Ares should definitely unlock Scarhand. Chipscape has been frame fixed for quite a while so that all color bursts can be hit as hands, so aside from it being visually tricky maybe, nothing about the file is worthy of 77. Nomina's incredibly borderline, but if people are fine with Ketsarku going down, I'm bringing Nomina with it.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Ketsarku should be dropped, Nomina I can see why it is being brought down because it's not all that difficult to AAA. It was definitely not 80 material.

Now that you mention Ares unlocking scarhand I agree.

The hands imo were the challenge in properly PAing Chipscape and the begin/end being mirrored doesn't help its case for being a 77.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Because most people suck at trills :)

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

TTE is FGO again, I see

(seem to remember huge debate about that pre-99 switch)

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

milky blue bumped down again ouch

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

smartdude1?1? they bumped down Grind 2. It must be easy. go AAA it nao.

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Unicron Barbeque being bumped up is eh to me.

Chaoz Japan v2 being bumped down is a strong no, that song requires more jacking ability than Gymnastics.

Also, STRONG recommendation is BEER being bumped up considering the low AAA count and the fact that every pattern in that file is ass (admittedly fun ass).

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Rarity makes sense, Distortion Power does not. Indo No Sobaya plays like a 77 to me. Weapon should be bumped to Scarhand. What is anti-ares, what is ERB?

Re: Song Difficulty Changelog
 

Indo and DP deserve the bump down, Anti Ares is that kirby medley and ERB is Einstien Rosen Bridge
