I finally got there, and I am able to play with skill and little to no mashing most very difficults, many of the challengings, and a few very challenging levels (I think I have gotten 700 combos on CIA rave, have gotten 1 miss from FC on electro rush x8, and on my first play through duality I got 50% of the score achieved from AAAing). I was wondering how long it usually takes to move up from that, to like, very challenging and some masters only. My worst weakness is yellow jumpstream, however I've played BB revenge so much that I got fairly good at reading fast stream with no doubles. Because of this it sometimes seems that masters only is easier, because very challenging seems to have more jumpstream. I would imagine that the hardest jumps are very difficult to challenging and masters only to gurus only, but I guess I wouldn't really know. Again, does anyone know how many game plays or about how long it would take to move up?

This is so true. Going up to about difficult, it's pretty simple. Once you hit very difficult, you start seeing many different colored notes, much more difficult patterns, faster songs...an even tougher curve is going from 7's and 8's to 9's and 10's. It REALLY starts to get tough.

And if you actually get high enough, there is a HUGE change going from 11 and 12 too. It's like an exponental growth of difficulty.
