troublesome fox girl

hello i like to make video games and stuff and also have a good time on the computer. look @ my pinned for some of the video games and things. sometimes i am horny on @squishfox



in what world is Everytime We Touch a 9 but 8-bit is only an 8. the former is easy as hell but my legs literally give out two-thirds of the way through the latter. is it because the former has like two sixteenth notes, is that it, does that really justify the highest non-ludicrous rating

OK SO

On my setup, 8-bit is rated a 13, which puts it around hard 8, easy 9 territory in old money. It's for sure a 9, it's 209bpm with a ton of bullshit, only good thing is it's not TOO heavy on streaming but it's a toughie.

Everytime we touch is interesting. The charts from Universe and X2 are different and the X2 chart is rated a 9, which is about right for the new scale. The Universe chart has a lot more steps and is rated a 7 on the old scale. Interestingly, the X2 expert chart did not have any 16ths in it, so you must have played the Universe chart. I'm assuming then that you're in stepmania and someone pulled the Universe chart and gave it the X2 ratings for some reason.

Wow what

yeah this is universe on stepmania, which i... assumed meant it would be a straight consistent dump?? i guess the ratings must've been pulled from a third-party source instead, and some confusion happened. 7 seems extremely reasonable

high-8 for 8-bit seems reasonable. i don't know if it's bad enough to deserve the cartoon heroes bucket

I had literally turned the computer back on to check before I stopped but forgot to mention it. Cartoon hereos is a 14 on the new rating scale, although that's not "canon" ratings.

The other important thing about DDR ratings is... they've never been accurate lol. You've gotta learn to read the groove radar to avoid getting ganked by a song that is way too hard for it's rating, or just has too many jumps.

EDIT: My case for 8-bit being an 8 would be Be Lovin. I'm curious what the doubles for 8-bit looks like since it was rated a 9, but not curious enough to try and play it. :)

And most people haven't even experienced the hell that is old doubles charts! The difficulty means nothing on those because they tend to not account for any doubles specific fuckery.

I saw the Doubles charts as being along the lines as the Another Mix charts in Beatmania, which were originally hidden as an easter egg and were meant as an extra-special challenge for the ridiculous people, until that ended up taking over the whole series eventually.

Of course Beatmania also had a Doubles mode which was... sometimes only slightly harder than singles mode, surprisingly, but most of the time it is definitely, yeah
