Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

[FontSize72LOL]

This file is pretty unique in FFR, It may not be that dense, but it sure has an assortment of patterns that really pack a punch to your PA. First of all, the first 860 notes or so of this song is arguably a mid 9. Nothing really here besides some hands and quads. Its after 860 when the aids begins with 3-note jump trills. These are extremely easy to split and get goods on, but these are fairly short.. with some luck and skill you can glide past these without much problems. Then the Anchor Trill starts. You have to watch for jumps and hands splitting off a long one handed trill which starts on the left hand then with a nasty transition to the right hand for another long anchored trill with more jumps/hands. After that it transitions into a mess of 3 note jump-trills that alternate around. This section is extremely easy to split jumps and will destroy most people's PA and/or Combo. I think this section alone qualifies this file to be a low 12.

Taken in 1x (To show patterns not density)

The rest of the file isn't super hard but you have plenty opportunities to split more jumps.

PA wise, this song has been out for a little while and i think it compares to other easily accessible low 12's.

Just looking at the stats, it is easily comparable to several FGO's of a similar time period with a ton more players and plays. Based on this information, i believe this file should be a 12.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

I'm not going to go into a TON of details because I think these are sufficient, but I agree it should be a 12. It's awful with those trills, ugh.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

I have no problem with this being an FGO.
It's easier to FC than other low FGOs for people with slower reading skill, but as far as PA goes it's FGO level in terms of getting good accuracy.
Plus it is LONG.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

I'm okay with Blooddrunk being FGO - the jumptrills are quite AIDS inducing.. :P

However, the file density and speed doesn't strike Blooddrunk as quite the FGO.

Lolo, NNT, Mozgalom, and FN require consistent amounts of speed that Blooddrunk doesn't require. Just because a pattern is AIDS doesn't mean the file itself is super hard. :P Plus, the file can be played on mirror to make things a lot easier.

I think..... Blooddrunk should be a high 11, in all honesty.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

The trill section alone isn't enough to warrant a 12. I'd stick with 11 on this one.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

played it, it's a high 11
it tests consistency with the trill section, but the trills aren't really that fast.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

Blooddrunk's density doesn't compare with the other low FGOs in the game such as Frictional Nevada or Nomina Nuda Tenemus. It's better to let it stay a high 11, despite the one handed trills.

Bumping

While it doesn't have density, FN's patterns are easily cheatable and i can easily get Teens PA/Low 20's by jumptrilling alot of the faster parts. Blooddrunk is easily harder than FN, and you cant cheat the trills without getting extremely sloppy PA. I'd also like to note i have trouble FCing this without mashing, and can easily FC a handful of FGO's now with Single Digit boos.

Too long didn't watch:

It's an 11.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

Pretty weird considering Songs like Reality/LOLO/TTE are pretty easy to some, yet Blooddrunk as well hits a certain skill limit in Trilling and gets unnoticed.

To be honest, I think it might pass off as a low 12, this file is incredibly harder then LOLO and with accuracy is close to Reality's difficulty.

+1 to make it a low 12. (Which, would only force He's A Rad Rat to be a 12 in this case too :/)

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

I'd stick with an 11 despite the scores shown in the high score tables. Scores can be improved overtime and part of the reason why scores are relatively worse than the low FGOs you mentioned is due to the length. Length contributes to the difficulty of the file but not enough for it to be a FGO.

That being said, it all boils down to the patterns of the file. Long trills are certainly difficult to be consistent on, but if one has the stamina and speed to attack it, one would agree that this file isn't as fast and stamina draining as the FGOs you mentioned. Like what Sean mentioned, the patterns after the long trill is probably the hardest part of the file. However, the patterns (in terms of speed and similarity of pattern choices) are comparable to many FMOs that I can't think of at the moment.

I would say high FMO. Since the difficulty system is changing, I would also say that this file is not comparable to the low FGOs in the game. Therefore, I would agree that this is at least one difficulty below the new ratings of Lolo, FN, Nomina, etc.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

I don't see how this file is easier then LOLO wilson lol ... lolo is a joke haha

[yo man im awesome]

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

I also agree on this staying an 11. It's just another pattern spam on FFR really. If we went by this logic, then AIM Anthem would have to move up but lolgay anchors. But we're not.

Basically, i'm saying we can't judge it based on that little section there. Some people believe AIM Anthem should be a 12, and Blooddrunk an 11. Others think otherwise.

Again, I vote 11.

Re: Blooddrunk [Heavy] [11 or 12]

yeah its an 11, you can hit the trill section as jumps.

Getting x-x-x-x on Blooddrunk is generally harder than getting x-x-x-x on Lolo. I'll agree with you there, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Blooddrunk is harder than Lolo. It just means that people are generally weak in skill when it comes to one handed trills, but that reason shouldn't be enough reason to bump it up to the FGO level.

Also, keep in mind that people who don't normally play VC+ would say that Blooddrunk is much easier to read than Lolo.
