Southern Cross [10 or 11]

[rushyrulz]

I realize we're getting a lot of these threads now, but there's that many super borderline files xD

Southern Cross is very high-end 10 + length, which equals 11 and should have never been bumped down to 10 in the first place IMO. With a bit of consistency this song can be nailed, but it's a decent speed (guessing around 180?) jumpstream for the vast majority of the song with little 32nd blips to throw you off even more.

I don't see why this was ever lowered to begin with. It's DEFINITELY an 11. There's lots of 11's that are only labeled as FMO because of their song length (despite the chart being a high-end 10), and this should be one of them.

Agreed with OP (Except in regards to length boosting it, but whatever)

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

I have to agree that this song should still be an 11. What Rushy said in the OP sums up my thoughts.

11, I thought the reason that some of the FMO's got bumped down to VC was because of framer issues back in the day of avmiss. This issue was fixed making some files easier bumping them down in the difficulty scale. I don't see how this applies to southern cross though as it's still as hard as back in the day.

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

Southern Cross is a pain in my ass to play, and is harder than songs like Choprite or Largiloquent Dithyramb for me. Fast-ish jumpstream with 32nds, some awkward patterns imo, and it is long as hell ;__;

It is an 11 in my opinion, a very low 11, but an 11 no less.

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

Like Max Forever, this chart should (if upped in difficulty) be the lowest one allowed.

I agree on bumping it back to an 11.

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

Mmmm...

I don't care for this either way. It's simple enough in terms of structure to be a 10, but hard enough in terms of pattern choice and density to be an 11. I guess this is the reason why it's considered a borderline file.

(Also, don't feel bad about making a lot of threads, the fact that they're all being brought up in separate threads is a great thing because discussion can go on without disappearing/getting lost in the mess of other arguments.)

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

With the files that were lowered, and the ones that remained, I agree that this particular file should still be an 11. It's long, consistently tricky, and those damn 32nd blips don't belong in a 10.

Low 11. Long, stamina draining JS file with the occasional rolls.

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

I actually disagree, I think it's a 10. There's really no hard patterns, it's just a matter of consistency for the whole song.

I think the length and the sheer speed of the patterns make S.C. an FMO, but a low one at that

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

This is definitely an 11. It's a long and tricky JS chart that is very stamina draining.

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

IMO this songs one of the easier songs for me to play, sure its stamina draining but other than that its not too bad. Keep er a very high 10

Re: Southern Cross [10 or 11]

I always wondered why this song was bumped down to a VC.

Maybe I'm just bad at this song, but I find this one being a little harder than a few FMOs. imo it should go back to 11.
