Songs of the Week (May 14, 2014)

Re: Songs of the Week (May 14, 2014)

For those wondering about grind2 v2, it is composed substantially differently than the original file -- it [the original] was heavily reliant on bursts, had a number of incorrect/arbitrary BPM structures and changes, and more importantly, was incredibly spiky in multiple areas due to absolutely ridiculous patterning. For those of you that haven't unlocked it, take a look at the differences in difficulty: grind2 v1 is an 88 in difficulty, but grind2 v2 is an 83 that manages to be considerably more fluent and jam in another 100 steps as well.

It feels very different and actually tests a different technique than the original, making it a bit more warranted as a v2.

I'll append a tag when hi19's is released don't worry.

My understanding is that Dossar's grind2 was accepted because blu's is just...really messy and pretty bad. Dossar's chart is structured very differently and as such, is much more playable despite having a higher notecount, but it's still at least a mid-FGO (AJ even thinks I'm slightly undercutting its true difficulty at 83). The req is fitting given the difficulty of the chart, anyone who's at least mid-high D5 can unlock it.

mid-high D5. Incredibly spiky. Ridiculous patterns.

And you want guys like me to pull off an X-X-2-2.

For anyone that hasn't seen the thread of my frame fixes on grind2 v1 you should take a look at it:

grind2 v1 is mostly single notes (which is why the notecount is lower), while grind2 v2 has more structured layering and has less logical absurdities with BPM changes (the original had a lot of unnecessary BPM changes that were even wrong at times). Both files are still hard, but the way they are structured are very different.

See I'm satisfied with this explanation. Thank you

Except I'd like to point out there's no way to grasp the fluency of a chart when we don't have it. Previews only work when you have the chart, and you can't use a preview to completely grasp fluency

If you're curious, here:

idk why previews don't work if you don't meet the unlock requirements, kinda defeats the purpose...

Certainly a less frustrating file, worth the unlock.

okay grind is technicaly corect but is it fun cause we need 2 know bfore lunlock

Re: Songs of the Week (May 14, 2014)

grind2 v2 is -way- more fun than grind2 v1 in my opinion. It's much more about technicality within consistent speed as opposed to technicality through near-impossible bursts.

Re: Songs of the Week (May 14, 2014)

It's fun. There's one part of it though that I don't quite dig.

It feels like a 1234 roll happens and then suddenly a 1324 roll happens.

The file can definitely use some frame tweaking, some parts didn't come out right (especially that 16th triplet near the end that turned into a zero frame interval, god dammit)
