Difficult Songs

[TehWhack]

Hey, Teh Whack here, I was wondering if there could be better balance between difficulties in each genre. For example, the genres Funk, Hip-Hop, and Rock are really lacking in difficult songs while Classical seems to be the cow of difficult songs. What I'm generally saying is if Funk, Hip-Hop, and Rock could have difficult (or extremely difficult) songs in them. I would be pleased to see it happen as the Funk and Rock fan like myself.

Regards,
Whack

So uh...I don't believe synth just has a big magical pile of songs, and he feels like making certain genre's unbalanced.
It's the people who make the step files, so if you can get some of them to make songs-there you go!

[Privateer]

Well sounds like serious, he means maybe he can specifically aim for harder song in those genres rather than adding any easy ones. Synth could easily request the stepfiles people are making for him be harder or easier and I'm sure a couple could be.

I think we need to completely rework all the difficulty ratings. They're too subjective at the moment. And explain to me why there are no 1-foot songs? That doesn't make sense, Mario, etc. should be 1 foot

Maybe the difiiculty of FFR songs are based on DDR's ones.
Mario, etc are harder than DDR's 1-foot songs.

I think the difficulty should be determined in FFR original standards, and
adjusted refering to many player's opinion.

yea...the difficulties are a bit off.

and....there arn't many hard songs there....because there arn't really songs in those genres that can support hard stepfiles.....unlike classicals....theres tons of INSANE classicals.

also....alot of the good rock and hip hop stuff we couldn't get permission for :P

Yeah, I dunno WHAT they base the difficulty on....

I just wanna say this: If at any point in the song there's more than 4 arrows on the screen, it loses the right to be called "very easy". The reason SOME of us suck at these kinds of games is due to not being able to process a lot of information at one time. Five or more arrows flying all over the place, and i feel like im about of go blind =P

SO mebbe i shouldnt be playing this... but its fun and adictive, and i FINALLY beat the ff7 one a few nights ago (after trying for months and never making it through the third minute), but bleh.

I think maybe they should impliment some kind of voting for each level so it can be graded more accuratly by people who can't hit 100 arrows a second. I dunno =P

The difficulties are off, deal with it. We all know that. Besides, everyone has their own difficulty ratings. What I think should be an 8, my friend might think is really easy and should be a 6. Play to your strengths.

And the only way to get better is to practice constantly. Oh, and play SM. A lot better than FFR, more onbeat, more songs.

Tonight I'll work on re-difficultying the songs.

Yea, I like stepmania a little bit more, but if FFR had online mutilplayer, like the twoplayer ddr screen then that would be awesome. Yea, but I think the songs have been on a gradual increase in difficulty over the past month, but Synth is mostly adding songs in Secret and Dance. I mean Holy Night Remix is really super easy like most songs.
