Re: New Songs: August 8th, 2011 - New Skill Tokens!

I agree :] Whoring for the AAA on both of these files will be really fun since both songs and steps are amazing! :]

1-0-0-1 on JULIA, 2-0-0-0 on JULIAN. Hopefully I'll snag them before I head back to college.

Metro is ridiculously fun for a 13. Glad this got in as well. I just wished I had stamina to actually play through the file xD

Julia and Julian are amazing songs and solid files :')

not gonna do 3020 rofl

[yo man im awesome]

Re: New Songs: August 8th, 2011 - New Skill Tokens!

Even after my complaints about there being way too many elitist skill tokens, even more are released.

Getting a full combo on an epic song to get another epic song is elitist?

actually hi19..

the rolls (16ths) in metro with one missing arrow isn't aids at all, since they're not fast at all (not 24th/32nds)

Just got the FC on JULIA, really liked it, quite an awesome 11.

Gonna try JULIAN now.

Edit: JULIAN was a really fun file too, but I preferred JULIA.

fyi everyone, this is a reference to Dazzling Destiny and Dazzling Soul. Remember?

FC Dazzling Soul to get Dazzling Destiny.

Well, I've only FC'ed 2 FMO songs and it took me at least 15 tries to do so on each one. Also, the anti-skill token is way too rage inducing for me. So, how does the song's epicness have anything to do with the difficulty?

Re: New Songs: August 8th, 2011 - New Skill Tokens!

Well, straying from the main argument a little here, wouldn't you agree that skill tokens in general are a bit elitist? Asking for a skill token that isn't elitist would simply be asking for regular tokens again, but I'm pretty sure they've discontinued that.

I'm not talking about regular tokens. I'm talking about skill tokens that range between user difficulty to experienced difficulty.

It doesn't. Generally speaking, harder skill token songs have harder requirements (with a few exceptions of course). It just happens that both JULIA and JULIAN are "epic."

Very true, very true.

Also, I believe they hadn't added skill tokens in so long because of some technical difficulties, so these are probably just test skill tokens (they'll stay in-game, but were used to test whether they work or not), there will be easier to unlock skill tokens in the future, there's no doubt about that. They're just trying to keep the so called "elitist" group happy at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if the next couple skill tokens are easier.

Re: New Songs: August 8th, 2011 - New Skill Tokens!

I think OMGWTFTOKEN has one of the hardest requirements..

and anyone can do it. :P

But stuff like St. Scarhand are for the "elitist" group I guess..

Then what are you missing by not having JULIAN unlocked? A little circle on your profile? If you are having a lot of trouble FCing low FMOs, you probably don't have enough skill to be able to read and enjoy the chart for JULIAN. Which means you're not missing out on much by not being able to play it yet. It doesn't affect your public ranks, after all. I think that token is a pretty good one to work towards - it's not intensely difficult (like Metro/Scarhand/Oni) and by the time you're able to unlock it you'll be able to appreciate JULIAN a lot more than you could now.

Also, the anti-skill token is way too rage inducing for me.

Unlocking that token is really 95% skill - you basically need to be able to get 3 goods clean on 3020 to get it, which is pretty difficult. Only 40 people have done that (or better) on that chart anyway. I personally think the requirement's a bit harsh, but still, you probably won't be able to really enjoy Metro if you don't have the skill to at least nonmash FC a mid-high FMO like 3020.

This might be bias talking because I -am- a speed player, but I'm going to have to agree with ninjaKIWI; Metro plays more like a high 12. I might be wrong, though.

Re: New Songs: August 8th, 2011 - New Skill Tokens!

I haven't played Julia/Julian (and probably won't get Julian in a while) but from what I saw on Doss's replay, it seemed to be an easier 13 than DP/RATO since talking in terms of highscores, the leader boards won't be as clean as WWE, OMW, Molto, or any of the high FGOs. But still, Metro COULD be AAA-able if you don't derp up in a few difficulty spikes that there are in the file. But I won't be getting that ST (besides, I wouldn't say that its an Anti-skill token since its not like the Marisa token or any other anti-skill tokens that require you to get a high amount of misses and shit PA or whatnot). But, I might enjoy Julia if I'm not too lazy to get on xD.
