Interesting files this month

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

I'm seeing Punkture as a 88.

Should be interesting to see the leaderboard for these files.

Punkture ending is pretty brutal because of the length of the jacks. I wonder how the others do here. I'm assuming FCs will be rare on that file unless you can nearly AAA.

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

That one reeallly long jack towards the end is where I dump most of my goods. It's very difficult to control yourself on a jack that long. 87 seems like way too low of a rating; I think I have a way better chance of AAAing Grist than I do this song.

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

I had asked for feedback on Punkture's rating in our GM chat because there's very few difficult jack files to compare it to and it's biased towards my skillset (I sightread AAA'd it)

I don't think it's deserving of Derby but I think 88 is probably better suited

87 is a good initial number to see more scores on it though it rightfully should be 88

Fun chart though even if I can't sub40 it :p

Gosh the longer jack when the ending loops is 💯

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

So it's pretty much Poison of the Earth intro on rates stuck on repeat, and Club v2: Electric Boogaloo.

fyukin A+ filez

literally my left and right crutches.

Dossar still loves acks and I dont have the control for these right now, they're very fun files however, I didnt think my sesh would start with such hardcore umpacks

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

umpacks

I am extremely happy Caffeine is in-game.

also not gonna lie, Punkture is a lot harder than it looks OWA. It's probably equivalent to You Time in terms of difficulty. Definitely at least 88, personally I'd see it as a Derby unlock with You Time. I see what you mean on it, but even without your bias it's harder than you think.

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

I'm personally uncomfortable with it being rated that high, but yeah, given the scores I'm seeing on it I might have to push it to 90 or something (relying solely on scoring data it looks like it's playing harder than 90 but I'm super uncomfortable with giving this a rating of 91+)

Both assrod and I think it isn't Derby-tier but again we're both pretty biased so w.e fam I'm fine with 89/90 if that's what everyone else wants

Also yeah Caffeine is fucking hilarious and I'm glad it's finally live, though when I was playing it earlier yesterday Maggie very loudly expressed her great disdain for PSYCHOSTICK when I was less than 5 seconds into the song and not even knowing with certainty it was them

Something along the lines of "wow it's these shitlords again, who the fuck keeps stepping their bullshit" (heidy)

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

LOL Psychostick is top tier for shitposting jack files

And I wouldn't go so far as to put it as 90, I think 89 is about as far as I'd say. When I said it was equivalent to You Time, I meant in relation to their difficulty of their styles, ie jacks vs burst/streams. I would only extend to 90+ if you were relying on score data and it continues to show extremely outlying scores compared to other 88/89's.

Also a reminder that assrod is still one of the great nicknames to ever come out of FFR

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

personally surprised to see Punkture higher than 87

EDIT: oh i thought it was rated 88 oops

87 is the right rating imo

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

The problem is that it looks (and really is) incredibly simplistic in design. The problem is that even in it's simplicity it's hard as fuck, it's a way more intense Club.

Re: Songs of the Month (May 18, 2016)
 

It's harder than turbo for a fact, though I don't think it warrants derby but scores tell a different story
