Free Space [1 or 2?]

[Choofers]

Even though Free Space is a very short file, I think the usage of 8th notes during the ending is grounds for a low 2. The majority of the file is easy 4th notes, and then all of a sudden, 8th notes. Surely, this has cost more than a couple people an AAA.

I actually legitimately see this as harder than Trip to the Moon, which is apparently the go-to high-end 1

Edit: Probably should've been more specific; see it as hard than TttM but I believe it should be listed as what's borderline because the end is rough.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

if this is legit
I see Free Space as the bridge between 1 and 2. I see it as a 1.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

Even with the 8th notes, I still see the file as being a 1, maybe a high 1 at best.

High one, this is like saying the wall in Skeletor makes it a 12. It's just some extra difficulty to spice things up.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

It's so hard to accurately vote for a file like this, without the opinion of people who have just started the game.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

Always thought this was a 2 myself, but whatever. Needs the opinion of someone JUST starting the game, which is always hard to find.

What is it 2 NPS max? it's a 1.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

i see this as easier than TttM actually. the jump usage is a lot more forgiving in comparison - even though it's not LR/UD which are considered to be easier jumps, there's no pseudo jumpstream.

rofl lag meaning i can't AAA a 1.

Of all the files, Free Space has the most AAA's by FAR and the second least amount of notes. Plus, it's only over 1 minute long with a low bpm. I think the main criteria for beginners is the lenght of the song and the number of notes. Rhythms and patterns aren't a problem for 1 and 2s. I say it should stay at 1.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

It was my first AAA, back with 1-hand arrow keys and 1.0 speed.
Even the very first day I started, where I played all the 1's, I had zero trouble with it. Trip to the Moon, iirc, was the hardest one, and free space...

free space is a 1.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

The only apparently easier file than this would be power. I say 1 (I don't think this is arguable).

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

Feels more like a 2, and when I got my sibblings/parents/friends to try out the game before, the difficulty they had with it compared to other songs seemed more like a 2.

Re: Free Space [1 or 2?]

- Song choice and difficulty choice should be appropriate. If the song isn't considered to be in the borderline difficulty, or difficulty choice is considered to be out of place, the thread will be locked/deleted.

I think this 'serious' discussion isn't going to make much, if any impact on changing the songs difficulty.
