Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

[BlueCoon]

I AM a Beginner, I know that, and I'm proud of it :P
So I'm playing mostly Difficulty 1 to 4 at the moment.
Doing that I tried to play "Excite Bike" (Arcade, Page 1, Row 1, Entry 3) which is labeled Diff 2. Sorry guys, that cannot be Diff 2, can it? I just played a Diff 4 easier than that.

Can you fix it to a higher Difficulty (like Difficulty 5), or is it just the 10 arrows at the beginning, that are killing?

It's rated 2 because it's only 9 seconds long.

Re: Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

Like Silver_Brian said, it's only nine seconds long and it contains 32 notes. That song is usually everyone's first AAA. That's why it's rated so low.

It seems tricky but once you get the hang of it you'll start going for the AAA. Play it a bit more, it's a very "long" song.

Re: Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

to confirm.... yes. if the song was 90 seconds long and similar difficulty throughout, it would be around a 6, maybe even a low 7. but because it's 9 seconds long and only 32 notes, it gets a big ole 2.

it may actually help you improve a lot faster, as you'll get the hang of faster stuff with minimal worry of failing.

Am I playing like the wrong FFR? I see no grades, when I clear a song.

I've seen grades in FFR2, but that's not the one "Excite Bike" is in

By the way: I cannot stand the music of Excite Bike, so it is good to be only 9 seconds

I'll never be able to AAA Excite Bike. There's just something about it.

I can FC diff 8+ songs but I'll always get a 31-1-0 on Excite Bike. Bwahaha.

11-0-0-21-0

PS it's not even worth a 2, 9 seconds = auto easiest...

Re: Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

There are no grades in FFR R1... but when you get all perfects on a song, it still is referred to as a AAA.

In my Stats (Profile) I can see my AAA's (0 -.-) but there are also FC's (4 and counting) What are those ? Flash Cleared ?

Full Combo (No misses in a song)

[FallenXxRaven]

Re: Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

FC= Full Combo. That means you went through an entire song without missing a single arrow.
And might as well just help a little more

SDG= Single Digit Good. When you fc a song and have less than 10 goods anf the rest perfects

BF= Black Flag. Same as an sdg but with only one good (thanks breakdown.. i really gotta stay up to date on stuff lol)

AAA= Highest possible score on a song. ALWAYS all perfects. (thanks fido =P)

FMO/FGO= For Master/Guru's Only. 2 hardest song difficulties.
Thats all i can think of atm but feel free to PM me if you have any more questions

Re: Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

AAA= Highest possible score on a song. Usually all perfects, but there are some songs where all perfects is impossible due to 1-framers (2 notes on top of each other that are so close you NEED to get an average on the first note to even hit the second one)

Actually that was recently fixed (Av-Misses Fix) so now a AAA is ALWAYS all perfects in a song.

[Breakdown16]

Re: Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

A blackflag actually is getting exactly one good and the rest perfects. For AAAs, with the new bug fix, the maximum attainable score for any song is all perfects.

Edit: Wow, I've been ninja'd in two consecutive posts now.

Re: Excite Bite "For Beginners" (Diff: 2)

BF= Black Flag. Same as an sdg but with only one or 2 goods

I'm pretty sure 2 goods is still consider an SDG, and a BF is only one good.

Anyways yeah, like everyone said it's a short song, etc.
