What do You Think is the Highest and Lowest Skill Jump from one Division to the Next?

[cedolad]

D5 to D6 is probably the highest skill jump. I've been working on getting past that barrier for a really long time.

D5 to D6 is also a pretty tough jump, since you can be tossed in D5 with one low FMO AAA (66-69) (which, keep in mind is very diverse in skillset) and a couple of FGO teens scores. The FGO area becomes more strict when it comes to skillsets, so it becomes harder for you to SDG files in the FGO area even if you have the skill for it. For example, there's a load of jumpstream files in the low FMO range alone, but there's only several (~10) jumpstream files in the FGO range (most of them in the lower range), some of which are pretty debatable if they're even FGO or not.

Though, D6 to D7 is by far the hardest jump, in order to get into D7 you need to have really good scores on higher FGOs/lower FSOs (89-94) to begin with, I personally don't see difficulty of best AAA as too much of a factor when it comes to D7. When you're low D6 you usually have like one or two low FGOs (77-79) and your best SDG might be an 83 or 84. In the higher FGO range they don't really test much at that point, it's either really tricky bursts (Schmollbluk, CCCP, Stinger) or just plain out control with higher-level files (Shrooms, Eclipse, Slashmaid) at that point.

D1 to D2 is technically the hardest jump though, since you can start with absolutely nothing and you have to work your way up to D2. The thing is that when you're D1, you have tons of room for improvement so usually you could breeze by D1 pretty quick, I honestly think it's the easiest jump due to how much room for improvement you'd have.

(from hardest to easiest)
D6-D7 > D5-D6 > D4-D5 > D3-D4 > D2-D3 > D1-D2

good keep playing it then, those songs are supposed to piss you off.

Seriously D3-D4 is a CRAZY jump
Like in the 8th official, I couldn't AAA past 45 in the beginning in D3 and now I have FMO SDGs and I'm still in d4
that's crazy shit

Have to agree with mostly what you're saying here Eze.

just want to mention that D6 - D7 may be a bit easier simply because at D6 you have this sort of "enlightened" reading ability. Can't really clarify will do in the morning.

D5 to D6 is ridiculous. :/

tbh i actually miss being in the lower divisions

[Untimely Friction]

D5 to D6 is retarded

[Jonlovesddr]

I say 4 to 5 is the lowest though since some D4ers are getting oni while some D5ers aren't, and the only thing that really separates D4 from 5 is a little speed

I played FFR and SM for less than 2 years...it really does not take that much (and I don't even consider myself good compared to most players on this website)

Why would you want to be D3? In TheSaxRunner05's tournament, there's only three-four people in that division, and in the MP tournament, there was only six people placed into that division, while all the other divisions had at least twelve people who were placed (not counting the people who didn't show up for the tournament). It seems like D3 is lonelier than D7. >.<

[HalfStep]

People say 5->6 cause they didn't do 6->7 lol. The highest tier of players are always miles above the 2nd highest tier, it's like that in every video game.
