That Carlos stream...

It's visually awkward, but plays like a beauty, as usual.

Nice files this week

There's a jump missing here in TFE that bugs the shit out of me, but other than that I enjoyed it

DESIRE DRIVE [Heavy] was my favourite file this week by far.

Re: Songs of the Week (Sep 21, 2013)

TFE seems like a conspiracy to make me AAA a 81 that's actually a 78 at best.

Re: Songs of the Week (Sep 21, 2013)

I didn't even notice the missing jump until OWA pointed it out. Now it's gonna piss me off every time I play it. Awesome file otherwise.

Agreed that this really shouldn't be an 80+. 77 or 78 sounds more accurate IMO

Quick, everyone get scarhand before it's bumped down!

(I kid, but I do somewhat agree.)

Re: Songs of the Week (Sep 21, 2013)

I think either the vast majority of D5+ players are disproportionately good at jumpstream compared to most other high FMO+ patterns, or we're going to need to come up with a new standard for rating hard files with jumpstream as the main focal point in difficulty. Too many files in the 80-85 range are apparently overrated (Casino, MFDFY, this file, Return to Fire, among others...), and I'm inclined to agree if I only focus on how difficult the file feels, as most of these jumpstreamier files have been significantly easier to AAA (take something like Tageri vs. TFE). Trying to rate these jumpstream-heavy files creates some dissonance between how hard the file seems and where it should be objectively rated on the scale (e.g. 240bpm jumpstream with jumps every quarter note seems at least mid-FGO in difficulty, and certainly less than 8 points away in difficulty from something like Extratone, whose ending is twice the length but only 10bpm faster, but most of us realize that MFDFY doesn't feel like an 84 at all...)

Gonna have a chat with Eze later and think about what should be done with these files in particular. Because yes, I agree, something like Casino feels like a low 80, but I'd be pretty uncomfortable creating a potential 14 point gap between that and something like Winter Wind Etude (constant 210bpm jumpstreaming with polys...I'm not saying it isn't much more difficult, but a 14 point seems a little absurd)

Anyways, yeah...
