Re: Rarity Attempts 400 Dresses (LOOMING MIX) [75 or 77]
I've petitioned for this twice, reasons being that everyone uses the old 1-13 title ratings with the new 1-99 in-depth ratings, and no one uses 1-20 at all. Was told it's probably not going to happen. Still don't see why not, 1-13 titles with 1-99 ratings seems like the best of both worlds.

Although either way, I feel that people will eventually just start flat out using the numbers instead of difficulty names for posting accomplishments. So I guess no matter what happens, less and less will people start saying FMO/Expert/Master, and more and more will start saying their first 66 or 67. EDIT: While I'm here I should note that I agree with stavie33 about this file. This was in my opinion much easier to not only keep combo, but to also AAA than the majority of the 76's that are in the game currently. If you can jump-trill, and deal with some minor awkward transitions after the rolls, you are pretty much golden on this file.

I think I already suggested this when we were sure we were going to move to 1-99, but if we are using a more detailed system, there's no reason to ALSO change the 1-13. The *only* thing wrong with the 1-13 system was that there wasn't enough detail.

Re: Rarity Attempts 400 Dresses (LOOMING MIX) [75 or 77]
I agree with Foxfire about the 1-99 usage because, hey, signature. QQ's doing it too.
About the topic in question, I found this surprisingly difficult to FC because the file requires no small amount of vigilance--you can't let up until the WHOLE pattern is finished. Exacerbating this problem is the fact that in order to get good PA on the 32nds you have to keep your jumps coherent, not unlike the wall in Press Start (another 75) and then transition right out of that into two-handed trill patterns while maintaining that frenetic 1000 tpm rate. Those without the necessary control and anticipation will fall for the bootraps coming out of those...my best is 7-2-0-7, and going into the middle I had 4-1-0-4. Speaking of, while the middle is a refreshing break, those with less stamina will nevertheless be worn down by whoring this file. The BPM change means that 32nd streams now have to be hit as 8ths, which can be flag bait. And when the song comes back, at around 1050 combo, it does so with a vengeance...8th trill right into a 32nd burst. More flag bait. As the fast parts aren't as long as in most other songs of its level, combined (I want to write "comboed") with the difficulty inherent in PAing the bursts as intended, I'm fine with this song staying a 75. It has no business breathing the same rarefied air as Lolo and FN. |

Re: Rarity Attempts 400 Dresses (LOOMING MIX) [75 or 77]
The thread isn't going to be locked just because you've made up your mind over it. There has been still a lot of debate as to whether this file is even a 76. I've seen many reasons for it to be a 75. It seems that most people can agree it isn't a 77, but whether it's a 75 or 76 hasn't been made clear.

Re: Rarity Attempts 400 Dresses (LOOMING MIX) [75 or 77]
I'm still unwilling to settle even with a 76 rating, honestly. The song has considerably less density than a song like NEED, which is a 74. The 32nd rolls are barely relevant because you will be jumptrilling them 99% of the time, and even if you try to roll them, the patterns into and out of the rolls are simple. As it stands, rating this file as a 75 accounts for the little sprints of 16ths/bits of jumps a bit too heavily, but I won't argue the file being any lower than 75 because the entire community will go in arms against a 74 rating.
There simply isn't anything in this file that can justify a 76 rating on its own, let alone as an entire cohesive simfile. Nearly every other 76 has something that is notably difficult in it: Blooddrunk: huge one-handed trills Momentary Life: easiest 76, has some 16th trills but carries some heavy layering and strange/choppy patterns Silly Symphony: infamous 24th note stairs Ripoff: 64th bursts that go into and out of triples Flesvelka: many tightly placed jacks/tons of bursts/choppy patterns Crash Up Against the Inevitable: many many bursts, lots of them having rough entries or really difficult patterns on their own Kono Spoon, suteki desu ni: tough rolling patterns, many of them split handed without notable percussion to keep even timing Mermaid Island: lots and lots of trills, some of which are one-handed, occasional jumpjacks PxFxS: very long, extremely technical, contains some flourishes with colorful patterns and has a lot of jacks Rarity simply does not fit with these songs. At most, Rarity Attempts 400 Dresses tosses short sprints of 16ths, or occasional 8th note jumps that are chained. The difficulty never ramps to an extreme point, it just holds constant. This file needs to stay at 75 like it was before. |

Re: Rarity Attempts 400 Dresses (LOOMING MIX) [75 or 77]
Both OWA and I want it to be a 75, but ultimately it's up to what the majority of the community thinks so more input is desired. Thanks for all your discussions so far!
Press Start is a 74, and a song I think should be a 72, max a 73. Compare it to Infinity Hyperspace, which is just all around a harder file.

This thread should be locked; the file was recently changed to a 76.

Re: Rarity Attempts 400 Dresses (LOOMING MIX) [75 or 77]
It's been a 76 for a few days by this point. Although 76 seemed to be the most 'agreeable' difficulty at first (averaging 75, 76, 77, the three potential difficulties in question), those who supported a shift of 77+ either changed their minds or provided weak arguments. Although thread activity's died down, with 77 out of the picture, there hasn't been a clear cut decision between 75 or 76.
Leaving this open for a few more days. If a decision can't be agreed upon for 75, it'll stay at 76 to compensate for the few outliers who find this file FGO-worthy in difficulty. Or if the thread stays dormant, it'll be locked. Either or. |
