The only songs I can think of not being meant for C300 are Lawn Wake and Strangeprogram. I'd say this song is still tolerable

[Shashakiro]

I personally can't say I've ever agreed with the whole notion that anything "doesn't belong on C300". FFR's jack syndrome makes stuff like LWIV and SP a gignatic pain, but that has nothing to do with C300.

Screenshrink.

[Afrobean]

Screenshrinking is retarded.

The fact that you have to do that should be evidence enough that it's not the best choice for such a slow scroll rate.

[hi19hi19]

I screenshrink a ton. You know that.

Arg. I can't really explain what I mean, but... It isn't right. Something about the 1-handed sections really ticks me off, coupled with the highly generic 16ths.

I screenshrink on Mario, too. Has to do with the scroll rate itself, not how specific songs "fit" the scroll rate.

As far as I'm concerned, every file ever made for SM or FFR fits equally well on C300, C500, C700, C800, C10, and C3000.

[jimerax]

k, most of complaints here are concerned about the FFR skill problem.

Patterns are still way more kind compared to other 190bpm songs like splash beats, legend, maybe except for some doubles. and I don't think doubles are overused for this level.

Missed a lot of sounds? tell me where.
Basically I didn't go with the vocal section entirely, which would make it just boring.

[Kagome]

If Afro was into screenshrinking he would like a lot more of the harder FFR songs.

[blindreper1179]

i'm not technical or anything.
i can't full combo as of now due to forced of quietness.
but i like the steps.

[Shashakiro]

According to Afro, every file above a difficulty of low 5 is bad. It "doesn't fit for C300".

[Doug31]

I completely can't FC this. I always get a bs miss on those jack-like patterns, even though they don't even look like jacks to me, I still always hit the first one a little too late, so I miss. I really don't like this file, but I admit it's really that it's bad or anything.

Also, I disagree with Shash on the C3000 thing. The only files made for that are the mash songs, like blur speedy mix and stuff. If it can't be done by mashing, I don't think it's made for C3000. The rest of those speeds, however, I do agree with, you'd just have to screenshrink different amounts with different ones of them. C3000 is above the maximum readable level, and no screenshrinking could make it readable, maybe screengrowing up to the size of a movie theater's screen or something.

I just don't like that stupid right hand trill in the middle of the doubles, if it wasn't for that I'd say this file was great.

[TS_SonicMaster]

That trill is annoying, I'll combo past that maybe 1/20 of the time.
If it wasn't there, all I would have to worry about would be the 16th burst jumpy part after the chain, and the majorly rollish streams that really take down my left index finger.

[-Fallen-]

If I combo it I can highscore it. Once I get to that point and try to pass it, all of the sudden I have 10+ goods =\

[gogohappiness]

I didn't do that good on it but I liked it.
It's hard for an indexer with the trill.

[eurostud4]

That's true about the "C300" thing. It's more the bpm that screws people over

[dore]

I can't play it because it's synced a little early for me. I'm not behind at all and I'm getting BS avmisses.

EDIT: Cleared my cache, which moved it back 1 frame which helped but it still feels a frame early. I'm having to hit everything hella early to combo it at all.

As for the steps, they're pretty good. The only part I don't like is where the vocals first come in. That could have been handled a lot better (I don't even hear anything that trill goes to lol). But overall not bad. Just impossible to play with the syncage (which could very well be this piece of **** computer).

Possibly.

However, even if I could AAA them everytime easily without screenshrinking, I'd still feel the same way, because I realize that not everyone in the game is super awesome at this game.

[Silver Metallic]

The song is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING

I despise it on SM, so there's pretty much no way I'm going to play it on FFR.

[Exag0n]

I have to disagree with anyone who claims that a song isn't suitable for a particular scroll rate. Perhaps in extreme cases (where you're under C100, to give an arbitrary figure) then perhaps you wouldn't be able to discern the spaces between the arrows, even with screenshrink. I personally have never had trouble reading LWIV or SP: my only problem is average-miss syndrome. In fact, I've non-FC SDG'd both, so I can read them perfectly well.

The great thing about screenshrinking is that one tailors the amount to your own needs, just like the towel in IIDX (or SUDDEN+). No one ever criticized that. In fact, many pros need it on slow songs like 5.8.8. I towel FFR for the same reason.

[LJRoX]

Holy **** Jim, it's harder than the original. I got it from the F5 Collection (from the DDR SIM forum) and damn I BF'd the original but not this one.

I think it's shorter than the Original. And it wasn't called Be Princess o.O
