Default Re: TOP Players / Tier Requirements Thread - Updated 4/16/09

Two things

Is the 8/8 req for nomina really 3 or fewer? I've yet to see a max req that isn't BF or AAA for something other than a X/9

And La Campanella has no req for 5/9, but has reqs for 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Actually, I lied, there's more. I'm confused about the max tier points that several songs give. For instance, why is Dead and Direct out of 8 when something like World Tour is out of 7? I've heard many people complain that Dead and Direct should be high VC, (although it definitely shouldn't) but obtaining '4 or fewer' for seven points on D&D is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier than BF'ing world tour for 7/7. Plus D&D is only a 79 on the new difficulty list, and the lowest songs on the difficulty list to receive X/8 reqs on the last list were 82s. Now we've got several 80s (FFR hates jacks, yeah I know) and a 79 with X/8 reqs. I just imagined the same unwritten rule would've been followed for the update. Also, why did songs like Ninja Lad make the cut for the new tp list, when songs that'll probably get removed from the X/5 section are probably harder? I can guarantee most of the X/5 section will probably get wiped (if not all of it) and I would rather re-AAA Ninja Lad over something Vertex Beta or Sympathizer anyday.

A lot of the songs seem to follow a '50 or fewer', '25 or fewer', '12 or fewer', '5 or fewer', 'BF/AAA' progression towards max tier points, and I'm not sure if any songs on the other list shared reqs that were even remotely similar (although I could be wrong). I'm not attacking rebound or anything, we're all very grateful for the update. But I'm curious as to how some of these reqs were determined.

edit: I just realized I used rather long songs as my counter-arguments. Ignore that, the files themselves are technically more demanding. That's why I chose them, not because of their lengths.
