Expanding the difficulty spectrum

Re: Expanding the difficulty spectrum

330bpm stream is brutally fast. I'm sure most lower level players find that to be the toughest file in the 90s.

In the 80s, you mean? 330bpm stream is pretty fast, but Eclipse's stream is really smooth, so it's about the same tps as, say, heavy 220bpm jumpstream, which is in a whole bunch of other files. Plus Eclipse has a lot of sections that are no more than FMO level, as compared to some other FGOs that are (for lower-level players) unplayable all the way through.

Oops I meant out of the 90s on that new list, worded poorly.

I have no ~*~QuALmS~*~ about knocking Eclipse down to 89 on the new list. The scoreboard is pretty damn sick, and apparently everyone can do this damn file so lol why not. The stream is incredibly smooth and even though it still looks like a jarbled mess of arrows to most players, for some reason their fingers know what to do without spamming boos. I really don't have anything else to add haha, 89 works.

p.s. JX gave the new list the 'A-ok' last night, so we'll prob see rating changes sometime in the near future possibly? :O

p.p.s. I'm knocking Vortex down like 4 points, get at me (so 87 on the new list). I'm honestly tempted to go lower but that seems like an awfully large point reduction just for frame fixes. Then again, the file as a whole is a lot more manageable now... I'd love to keep the rating higher but it honestly doesn't feel anywhere near FSO material right now

edit: temp-placing it at 88, feel free to discuss

Vortex is still pretty damn hard to FC with those kinds of walls. It doesn't need to be bumped down a lot. It has segments of 32nd stream etc. that are hard to read with the mix of 48ths too, so it's not like the 64ths are everything, just it's better to play through now

Re: Expanding the difficulty spectrum

I would almost think that Phi-dentity Crisis should be a little higher on the difficulty scale. I don't know how everyone else feels about it, though.

Re: Expanding the difficulty spectrum

Vortex is pretty hard to FC but so are almost all other mid-high FGOs, so that doesn't mean much. For what it's worth, I don't find Vortex all that bad to play/PA, especially now (I just got ~50 goods and one boo, and there are several files around that level that I could never do that on).
