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.

You had like 20 goods at the ending gluts of Death Piano, it's a low 13 dude - just that you decide not to mash it like a retard. You also had 35 goods on RATO, remember? 8D

It definitely is a lot more straightforward than those two files though

Very good point, I suppose.

I think I actually stand a chance at AAAing Metro with a little bit of practice. It's not the 16ths that give me problems, because I can sustain 300+ with no real problem. Those 24th/32nd bursts are pretty nasty.

The 32nds are rough but at least the frames are consistent (300 bpm on the dot)

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.

If I unlock it that is, if I don't get overly fed up with FFR from people not helping me out with any simple favours I ask of on my profile/if FFR doesn't interfere with my LIFE.

so yeah, sightread...I feel this is VC but eh I know you disagree.

Julian: really fun great file, right one to be the skill token, one of the best files in weeks
Julia: Gay ass one handed trills. My right hand is weak and can't last through the long trill but if I mirror the 24th one gets me. Damn you bmah...the songs so easy other than that

Don't have the other skill token yet, I keep getting either 2-0-2-0 or failing at 4 goods

^this

****. Seriously bmah? I'd say it was a low FMO, but because of that right hand trill right about at the 900 Arrow mark I automatically think it's almost an FGO.
Also, yeah, It's almost AAA-able without worrying about the right hand trill there.

[yo man im awesome]

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

The trill really isn't that bad...

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

It really isnt

[yo man im awesome]

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

Seriously, it flows extremely well, and just isn't that difficult to hit despite the speed.

This. Be grateful it's not as aggressive as Sonata's or Kyrie's trill.

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

The trill isn't really "Fast", it's another It's Only Natural Scenario (easy to hit, hard to AAA)

[qqwref]

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

Hey, It's Only Natural is hard to hit too :'(

The long left handed trill really isn't all that bad for an FMO; if you can't do it well, I suggest warming up with some mid speed js.

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

Bad scores on both JULIA and JULIAN because I can't not get a lag run. They both seem like pretty generic files to me, nothing special about them. I like the beginning of JULIAN with the 64ths, but other than that, lame files. The songs are bad and annoying IMO, but I've never been a fan of Cranky.

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

I'm not saying they're ou of place, I'm just saying I have a hard time preparing for it lol. Maybe I was on edge because I was TRYING to FC it. Pretty sure if I just played it randomly and was unaware of the token I would've done just fine *shrug*
(also if I try to hit something I try not to "mash" just to hit it.)
