Mou Uta Shika Kikoenai [56 or 57]

This song is a bit of a weird one since it's in the one chain of skill tokens. so looking at AAA/FC stats isn't quite the best idea.

anyways, this song is too easy for a 57. I AAA'd it first try today (haven't played it in months)... which made me question its rating.

this song requires control (there are slow one handers), and there is some med density JS (pseudo JS actually). Much less dense than Gacha Gacha Cute Figu atto Mate, a 56.
Normally jack chains can be annoying if you're prone to split (as am I), but in this song, the chains are slow enough (8th notes, and song is only 162bpm) that they are quite effortless. Yes there are a few [3][34][3][34] anchors thrown in, but anchoring with an index finger (for spread) i've always found easier for some reason. and these are all 8th notes at 162 bpm. nothing quick here

there are 5 note 16th sections w/ a pause between them, which can often be quite tricky to PA when the music for that isn't obvious (as is often the case). It gets easy to play as if there isn't a pause (think hey hey monkey until you figured out that there was a pause every second sequence at the beginning) not the case here: obvious guitar, so makes this only a matter of control, no guessing or approximating, just control.

The densest parts are when a jump gets thrown into the 5 note sections. but this isn't continuous JS

max NPS is 14, compared to 15-18 of other 57s in token songs. fastest notes are 16ths, so no trouble with speed on this song. 16th trills are always two handed, and their ending jumps never pose a problem.

so no awkward patterns, very manageable speeds, and only control needed. Not a recipe for a 57. lets bump this down

I actually agree with you Pop, i USED to think this song was hard as hell(when i played one hand) and now that i have switched its really not that complicated and IMO the hardest parts to PA for me at least are the damn trills lol
It doesnt really have any awkward patters as you mentioned and is fairly straightforward.
Definitely way to easy to be a 57.

lol I agree completely, this is definitely one of the easiest ex-VCs. Nice catch.

[popsicle_3000]

possibly even bump this down to a 55... but that can be discussed. I'm sort of ambivalent about it

LOL funny you say this. I was actually gonna say that it could easily be bumped down to a 55 in my post originally but didnt because i thought people would say that was too much. I agree though XD

Very very easy 10, just from memory. There's really nothing inside of this file that most ex-9s don't have. It just makes up for the lack of difficulty within the patterns themselves by adding some awkward transitions here or there.

I'm actually alright with this being a 55, personally.

[popsicle_3000]

bump! anyone else fine w/ this being a 55?

Eh I have to agree it's easier than Over The Fail Dream (the old 9/10 boundary) so yeah lower it to a 55.
