that's one of the problems with how AAA equivalencies are established in combination with how difficulties are determined

difficulty values are heavily based on how hard a file is to AAA, and there are many charts that are relatively simple to SDG but astronomically much harder to AAA than the average file (husigi and schmollbluk both come to mind)...however both of those files scale exactly the same in terms of AAA equivalency scores as other files with the same difficulty rating

schmollbluk is probably one of the hardest 91s to AAA (if not the hardest), but it's typically the first one players will SDG out of that group as the 'high FGO' difficulty in heavily concentrated in only three or four 32nd bursts...as a player progresses in skill, they're able to tackle the other 91s more effectively and eventually will likely reach a point where they'll very consistently score better on the more 'structured' 91s like drunk optimus compared to schmoll

the only way around this issue is for the charts in question that are affected by this to have their own individual scoring curve with harsher diminishing equivalencies, or to re-rate files weighting AAA difficulty less heavily...and there's problems with both (though issues with the latter are largely due to FFR's incredibly low difficulty ceiling, otherwise I'd fully embrace such a shift)
