I find it weird that World Tour 2004 (which I've SDG'd) is ranked as an 80, above songs like AIM Anthem, Night and Day, Strangeprogram, Kyrie, and Brandish Headless which I think are all significantly more difficult (I can't see myself ever SDGing any of them). I mean, it's long and pretty tough to AAA because of that, but it's not THAT long and there aren't any parts that are really fast or difficult to hit, just stuff that is tricky to PA because of colored notes and a handful of minijacks. I honestly think a 77 or 78 would be more appropriate.
Incidentally I think I could see Death Piano as being ranked equal to or slightly higher than RATO (and both being 13s). Although RATO's faster overall, it seems that RATO is much more straightforward to FC (53 FCs vs 22 FCs not counting iVROFL) and maybe slightly easier to PA (the rank 1 score for RATO is closer to the AAA than the one on DP), because it's just vibrating walls rather than the complicated patterns of DP.
Fei Longer. WAY harder to AAA than Starlight. Should be a low VC
300. Come on people, look me in the eye and try to tell me this is easier than Silence and Lawn Wake IV. Try it. You can't do it. It should be at least 77, maybe 78.
Runny Morning. I don't think 80 is high enough. It's harder than all songs 82 or under, so I'd say the hardest 82 or even an 83. Right now it's the same as Hellhounds. REALLY?? The jack is just so so fast. I can't even FC that anymore.
Probably others but those are the ones that stood out.
"Running is a mental sport...and we're all insane!"
Learn to run when feeling the pain: then push harder.
I think some of the low VCs (Fighting For Control, Pure in Asia, P4u, Fake Jazz) don't belong all the way down there. There are some really easy VCs and stuff with weird 32nds or tricky jumpstream doesn't belong in the same class as those.
Best AAA: Policy In The Sky [Oni] (81)
Best SDG: PANTS (86)
Best FC: Future Invasion (93)
If the AAA count for runny wasn't so piss poor, I'd argue 80 is fine, but honestly, only 10 AAAs after being out for so damn long...bump it to 82, I guess
I also think Dead and Direct should be 80 but w.e
Also, qqwref's VCs should probably be a little higher too...honestly, P4U should probably be 75. The stepfile itself is like a low challenging at best, so assuming the background bumped the difficulty to where it is right now, it's still wrong.
Alright, time to cover comments! Most of these difficulties are based upon previous discussions, ex. why World Tour is 80, I wanted 78, but long discussions with like, 4 pro players had me change it to an 80, so time for comments:
Gym Leader is definitely C, if it becomes low VC, then Ivaltek (which is much faster and has many more 4 framers) becomes mid VC
Fei Longer and Starlight are same IMO, Starlights just not on the list, I don't do jacks so I don't care either way, both can be C IMO. I'll change that.
Umm...300 is MUCH easier than those you listed. Not changing.
Umm...party4u a 75? Hell no. Background issues make it hard to AAA, but the file itself is low VC. Hence why I put it where it is. Not changing.
Runny morning has one annoying jack, but the rest of the file is low VC, so no way is it harder than where I put it, unless you want me to put Crowdpleaser above DP. Not changing.
DP and RATO, I personally think RATO should be 95 but since it's logged as a 96, it's 96 for now, but it's still open for debate.
Fighting For Control should be a C, you should be thankful I made it VC after a long argument with a friend of mine. I think it's a 65, but I changed it.
Pure in Asia. I played through all the VC's again, and I found Pure in Asia easier than Carrousel Paradise, but not Dot Death, so it's still a 68.
ABCDeath is really easy except for 1 trill. It's easier than Far From Home, so unless you want that to be a VC, then no. Far Away From Home's 24th rolls thing is difficult as hell in comparison.
Fake Jazz, changed. It's lowest 70.
Dead and Direct can be 80, sure.
qqwerf, go back and play Fighting for Control, look me in the face, and tell me it's harder than Carrousel Paradise, I DARE you. That song is the lamest excuse for a VC EVER. I'm leaving it there just to avoid complaints like this, but it's not being moved up.
Pure in Asia's easier than Tambourine Chinois, the BPM makes Tambourine Chinois annoying and it has patterns that are way more annoying overall than the one jumpstream in Pure in Asia, but what/ev, someone else will have to judge cause' I think Pure in Asia is easy peasy.
For those that say there are a lot of problems with the list, there are probably only around 10 misplaced songs. I've taken comments from the past 30 pages in this thread and played every C and VC song again to go over this, and everything seems fine, and if anything they're off by one difficulty at the most. We need EAG to check the list
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school (No, I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool (No, I can't complain)
You're holding me down (Oh Oh)
Turning me round (Oh Oh)
Filling me up with your rules (Oooh)
Woah, I didn't realize I had p4u at a 68, changed to high 69, sorry bout' that, guess I left it where JX had it

ok bpm and 4 framers have nothing to do with why i say its a vc. patterns

fei longer and starlight arent the same ?_? you really cant be comparing the long ass jack lines in fei to the short ones in starlight and call them the same. fei is harder than starlight and both should be vc
Fighting For Control should be a C, you should be thankful I made it VC after a long argument with a friend of mine. I think it's a 65, but I changed it.
fight for control a c ?_? the js and the really gay use of pr make it more than hard enough to have it be a vc
Pure in Asia. I played through all the VC's again, and I found Pure in Asia easier than Carrousel Paradise, but not Dot Death, so it's still a 68.
ok im not sure how many times i have to say this but i'll say it again. YOUR ****ING OPINION ON HOW EASY A SONG IS SHOULDNT BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE DIFFICULTY OF A FILE
ABCDeath is really easy except for 1 trill. It's easier than Far From Home, so unless you want that to be a VC, then no. Far Away From Home's 24th rolls thing is difficult as hell in comparison.
that triplet section and the speed up trill leading into a left hand jump jack should be enough to make it a vc

i really dont think you're qualified to be judging difficulty when you keep doing the same thing over and over again
Pure in Asia's easier than Tambourine Chinois, the BPM makes Tambourine Chinois annoying and it has patterns that are way more annoying overall than the one jumpstream in Pure in Asia, but what/ev, someone else will have to judge cause' I think Pure in Asia is easy peasy.
tambourine chinois' rhythms flow a lot better than the ones in pure in asia making it easier than pure in asia

you're really dumb if you think getting one of the top three players on this site to check the list for difficulty when he could probably AAA every single one of the songs first try.
how about this get 3-4 people varying from a below average player to a top teir player and have them help you out because its pretty obvious you cant do it alone
