"Not likely / impossible!"
...
"Nope jk totally got it"

"Wait how are people NOT able to do this now?"

Re: Data Drain Oni

I think it's AA'able.

Re: Data Drain Oni

What bothers me most is the patterns at that BPM. I will take a look at this in the editor now...

the pattern of the amount of arrows in each measure is 10 notes one measure, 11 arrows the next measure, 10, 11, 10, 11, etc. so I'll just estimate it to 12th notes.

12th notes at the top speed of 680 bpm = 510bpm 16th notes (that's if you were to think of it all as one giant stream and that being the top speed needed)

Pardon me if my math is wrong. It's not accurate with the actual speed since I'm just rounding off the 10-11 notes per measure to 12th notes to make it more even. I also notice a LOT of down and up arrows when it reaches 600 bpm.

simply put: it's pretty much 300-340 bpm 8th note mini jacks all over the place

More like 16th note mini jacks D:

I do actually think this song is AA'able but it'll require some specific training and top-notch reading ability (not to mention speed obviously). I think Staiain or Dossar are the closest in terms of the skillset required.

Re: Data Drain Oni

Have you guys even tried to do the ending with a lower cmod? I mean, since the goal is to AA and not AAA, it's definitely a realistic approach.

Re: Data Drain Oni

Man this thread is like a genius stepman meeting:

The FFR think-tank has convened for a roundtable discussion on how best to tackle the national issue of Data Drain Oni. A short opening statement will be given by retired stepmaster Reincarnate, followed by the main presentations. Topics will include AA Feasability and Note Density Techniques. Short lectures from Profs. Qqwref and Samurai will take place in the main presentation hall, followed by a summary by chairman Staiain. After a brief question and answer session with the candidates, the symposium shall nominate one of Dossar, Staiain, or Leonid to apply the discussed techniques and produce the desired score.

Re: Data Drain Oni

I've never passed it, and it annoys me because it's not a file that you can score well on. It gets to a point where I just wrist jack for the last 10 seconds and everything becomes a blur. I've only gotten past 800 combo (full combo from the beginning) and somewhere after I fail miserably.

Somewhere around 500-600 combo, I ignore the timing and just hit straight streams (as if they were 24th notes), and then I start to locate where all the 8th note mini jacks are to help me, but eventually it just becomes too fast for me to read.

exactly this; it's stupid and not really worth playing, honestly.

That would sure help with reading a bit. Kinda.
