I spent a long time on this. Hope you guys like it :)

01- Beginner

03- Amateur
04- Novice
05- Trainee
06- Apprentice
07- Junior
08-Senior
09- Expert
10- Professional

11- Champion
12- Elite
13- Prodigy
14- Veteran
15-Master
16- Guru
17- Savant
18-Legend
19- Divine
20- For Virgins Only (I'm kidding, a "???" would be appropriate).

I really like these. It does give a sense of accomplishment like TK said and it does give more motivation. I can see this one working.

Subin, your list looks very professional, you got my +1. I enjoy how you created the almost "school system" type of levels through 1-10 also.

**iironiic** · 05-23-2012, 01:03 PM

If we were to adopt subin's list, the next question we need to look at is what files are considered "Legend, etc." Not only do we run into the problem of giving each file a numerical difficulty, but we need to make sure the names of those difficulties do indeed match up to the file's difficulty.

We could foolishly convert the 1-13 scale to the 1-20 scale where 1 --> 1 and 13 ---> 20 uniformly, but that would imply that a current 6 is considered "Professional/Champion". I'm sure most of you would disagree with that. What difficulty best matches the qualities of a "champion"? etc.

EDIT: I think qqwref's idea avoids all of this. But I really do like subin's adjective choices :((

Also requesting all the [heavy]s and [oni]s be taken off everything to be replaced by either nothing or v1, v2, etc. if there's multiple versions.

**psychoangel691** · 05-23-2012, 01:24 PM

Here's my issue with Subin's (no offense meant of course) Words like trainee and recruit and such to me would be good for ranks for a person, but to me sounds silly for song difficulties.

**25thhour** · 05-23-2012, 01:28 PM

I like the For w/e only, just because they are cool acronyms. :P

Same here. They would be great for some sort of ranking system, but I don't see them as song difficulties.

To be honest though, I'm indifferent to what the names are. As long as the number rankings are good then I'm fine.

Alternatively just have tiers. Tier20 being the easiest and tier1 being the hardest

**Mike Weedmark** · 05-23-2012, 01:53 PM

Lists so far are descriptive and appropriate, but horribly boring. I want to see a list that starts at 01-Potato and ends at 20-Michael J. Fox. Someone, please.

^THIS for sure haha.
I agree with Find's list, except I think 20 should just be ridiculous, also #8 and #9 should be switched.

**deadpony** · 05-23-2012, 02:04 PM

I like the idea of getting rid of "for only" but we gotta keep master and guru and I like grandmaster also.

**tofurox** · 05-23-2012, 02:21 PM

Someone should come up with a space themed level ranking system. Difficulties like supernova, quasar, black hole, white hole.

Yeah, this is my thinking too. Also would rather we didn't have any "For X Only" difficulties if it can be avoided.

14- Demanding
15- Very Demanding
16- For Experts Only
17- For Masters Only
18- For Gurus Only
19- Ridiculous
20- ???

Putting the "Very Heavy" in at 11 allows every title to be bumped up a difficulty up to 18, in which case For Stepmen Only gets completely overwritten with otherwise minor modifications.
