I need alternative songs for getting VANESSA extra stage

[Blackraven]

Anyone care to suggest some songs which have charts that are easier or at least as easy as my current lineup below:

1) Marmalade Reverie - another - level 7

2) Under the Sky - hyper - level 7

3) Crossroad - hyper - level 8

Personally, the above are songs that I can AA many times.......but not all the time simply because I have a problem with consistency. Just to give you a specific example, last night, I was trying to do this. I AA'ed FC both of the two stages........but when I went to Crossroad [h], I come short. Heck, I've done that routine for around five times already and it was the last song that made me falter (sometimes 5-15 points shy of the AA mark). Yet four days ago, I was not having a problem at all playing this.

Unfortunately, this doesn't just apply to Crossroad[h] but to the other two as well. This week alone, my consistency for Under the Sky [h] has been slightly faltering a bit (as probably I can't take playing this song again-and-again). As for Marmalade Reverie [a], usually it's very easy to AA........but there was this one time where I played it and was 3 points shy away from it.

So yeah, I hope that you guys could probably suggest something else so that I wouldn't have to play the same shit again in order to get through VANESSA extra stage.

So the conditions:
As usual, the song must not be lower than 7 (GENERAL RULE for Vanessa extra stage). Also, the conditions for the final stage have to be accomplished (ie. clear an 8, clear a 7 with FC & 100% gauge, hard clear a 6 with PC, etc. etc.). Most likely, I'd go for the 8 since it doesn't have any other conditions other than just clearing it.

Oh and if possible, pls. suggest songs that are around 160 BPM-200 BPM as songs of this tempo range are well suited with my use of High Speed x2.0 so yeah.

Thanks

P.S.
Oh and please don't suggest HONEY PUNCH as this only available in the machine 2 kilometers away from me (which is a BEAT FREE unit). The one closest to my house is a beat#1 unit so no Honey Punch, Yoshida San, Captivate Sabaki, etc etc.

[Dara-G.]

love <3 shine. almost anything terra. and maybe oml h thats pretty on beat too.

[Alonso]

I usually play Second Heaven as my last song.

[Pinoy_Bb]

HONEY PUNCH is really easy to AA

[Quantium]

I usually just play it in free mode.

SigSig [H], So fabulous!! [H] and Close my Eyes for Me [H] (7, 7 and 8 respectively)

The first two are fun for me. The last one may blow you away with the scratching.

So Fabulous!! [H] is an 8 I'm pretty sure, but I'll agree that's a good one to AA. Another good 8 I like to use is the AAA-able The Smile of You [A].

[unknown1412]

Well, for me:
The Smile of You (h)
Yoshida-San (h or a)
Hoshi Wo Kono Te Ni (n)

[Jops]

remember, he's playing beatmania IIDX Gold Beat no. 1 so No Yoshidasan...

-High School Love
-INORI
-Love Again...
-My Only Shining Star
-op.31 JOJOU

-REGRET
-YOSHIDASAN
-VANESSA
-Fascination MAXX
-all VIP ROOM songs

[Blackraven]

^^

Well yeah, basically none of the above stuff.

------------

Anyways, it looks like Love Shine [h] is the best candidate so far as it fits my tempo range perfectly and it's a 7 (or 8) so it must be easy......hopefully.

But that's just one song, so let's see what other songs you guys suggested:

1) Second heaven [h]

I usually get a high B or a low A (with my usual HS 2 mod). If i apply 200 units of Sudden+, the highest that I can only get is around 168k (still a 'A').

So it's a no go I'm afraid

2) The Smile For You hyper and another

From what I've seen, the charts look easy. Unfortunately, the song is so boring that I could just fall a sleep in less than a minute.

3) Nine Elements of a Star (by Kanako Hoshino)

No go either. The runs on that thing are quite tough which makes my HARD gauge deplete to 60%. No chance for AA atm.

4) DoLL [a]

This has a chance for me (as I've already got a mid-AA on the hyper chart twice) for the jump from hyper to another is quite manageable and not too far (unlike Les Filles Balancent where the 6<->7 gap is WAAAY BIGGER).

5) OML [h]

Probably. Though I play it more for combo than for grading.

Besides, if I need to AA this song, I'd probably have to lower my HS mod a bit to HSx1.5 (as the monitor in the nearby machine tends to display 190-200 BPM notecharts way faster than other machines).

Probably something to add:

I forgot to mention Double Loving Heart [a] and I mention it because it's the only level 9 song that I have AA'ed so far. Unfortunately, it has been like five months since I've gotten that AA and I couldn't seem to regain it back.......though I'm constantly working on it. Hope I can regain that AA grade again.

Anyways, thanks guys for the suggestions. These are greatly appreciated indeed.

Why are you complaining about this if you're looking for easy ways to get the extra stage requirements?

BTW, LOVE <3 SHINE is a 9.

[tornupsock]

Stop playing those songs in general. Or stop playing in general. Come back 3 weeks later- should be consistent.

Isn't the difficulty limit for VANESSA extra stage above 20 total for the Hyper? That would allow you to replace a 7 with a 6.

As for a song suggestion, I think Stars could be a good choice.
