Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

4th year in a row where i get put in d5 then moved to d6 last minute

goodbye, i aint playin that cancerous garbage

Placements aren't done until last minute, which was stated over and over and over again. Nobody was actually looked over until after signups were closed because people improve and it's better to look as close to start as possible.

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

TL;DR What exactly went in to this tournament? I have no place to say anything, but I've followed rhythm games for ages, and analyzed a lot of 4k maps. Is the idea here, to knock as MANY people as you can round 1, and then lay off in difficulty a little bit?

Like I said, I have no place to even comment on this, based off the division I'm in, but christ...
The D2 should be a D4/D5
The D4 should be a D5/D6
So on, so forth...

This has no bearing on everyone say... Rank 1-150ish, as the D7 file is appropriate, but it seems like you're expecting people to play at the top of their division, whether it be D1/D2/D3/D4, which is not the case.

I'm almost scared to see what the other rounds are like.

Regardless, best of luck!

I'm not staff but I think the idea is to stop the AAA-fests that have been common in previous tournaments

In the past, say the D4 difficulty file was in D6, and literally everyone AAA'd it
Every single person in the division.
And we would have to create tiebreakers that were actually hard.
Entire divisions AAAing, or cutoffs that were like, one boo happened way too often.
This format is just skipping to the "song that is actually hard" step.

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

too bad if the lower end players cant do them its a fucking tournament its not a fucking tee-ball game for 5 year olds where everybody wins

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Oh, preventing AAA-fests? What exactly is D6 turning out to be? I can already see 8-9 of them, and the rest are pretty much almost there.

Of course it's not a tee-ball game, and I never said that it should be one. However, having that much of a gap in relative difficulty, to ACTUAL difficulty, will turn a lot of people off.

I understand where you're coming from though, hihi, the first song should always be a "weeder". I'm not sure why that wasn't the goal in past tournaments.

Wait so you are complaining that the songs are too hard, but also pointing out that they seem to not be hard enough, at least in the case of D6.

What exactly are you saying?
Because I think D1-5 and D7 are perfect, and yeah D6 should have been harder.

Every round should weed people out!

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

Every round should indeed weed people out, but what I'm getting at, is the d2 and d4 files are miles ahead of say... d1/d3/d5.

I don't think d6 should have been harder, but if the goal was to prevent AAA-fests, there's already one forming in D6, so I'm not sure why that principle didn't apply to d6, but it did to the rest.

The same amount of people will be eliminated each week regardless of whether or not the cutoff is 2g or 50g

In order to avoid far too many people getting AAAs we have harder songs to start out such that it's not a chore playing a boring song that people should be able to easily AAA in the first couple weeks accomplishing nothing

Also, the skillgaps across upper divisions are much larger than those of the lower divisions, each level is so much harder to achieve at the higher rankings

D6 is just a blender where several people are a couple levels off of D7
(also we have a pretty short file)

Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

The D3 song is excellent imo coming from a mid-tier D3 player. It's hard enough where I'll never AAA it but not so hard I can't FC it which is exactly where the difficulty should lie imo and should get slightly harder as the tournament moves on.

I shouldn't be AAAing the first 3 rounds.
