Well I dunno if my eyes were cheating on me (or if my eyesight was fucked up a while ago when I played in the arcade) but........

If I saw it right, Sunkiss Drop expert is a 7

And Captivate was a 9 (which explains it as I was so tired after playing that song).

I was sweating like hell (which is similar to how I sweat the first time I played AA expert).

Though I still passed it without danger and thankfully with a B (at least).

Boy I tell you though, Captivate is one hell of a workout (to the degree of a person sweating so much after playing Drop Out expert)

P.S.
Poseidon is simply awesome

I think I played that song around 5 times during my visit to the arcade.

Though I only got to get a full combo at my 5th try (it was kinda hard using x1.0 speed and DARK mode )

But I still had real fun playing this song (and getting to hear the Poseidon ending credits as well)

Crap, my absence at the arcade is causing you to become better than me. MUST GO THERE TOMORROW!

I hate it because of its stops right on the arrow then it starts up at 300bpm and screws you up with the beat.......

But it is good to me because it is Naoki Underground and sounds awesome for a trance.

Once it stops tap the arrow of the next arrow in rhythm like 5 times and you will get it.

Okay I got it......played all of them. Poseidon was fun and Uranus was furious. Lol at Uranus challenge doubles......... I played CaptivAte like 3 times. I loved it entirely. I got the ending down and it isn't that hard.

the more you talk the more i disagree with everything you say

also my problem with captivate is that the ending just doesn't fit the rest of the chart. the rest of the chart is a hard 8/easy 9, and then after the U/D freeze (where i think it should fade out because it'd be the perfect ending point for the song) it turns into a hard 9 for no reason

@Kiri_No_Haku: How does Uranus - Challenge play like? I haven't tried it cause I was too damn tired when I noticed it had Challenge mode T_T...

Poseidon is actually a bit easy because the beat and the stepchart really match (not to mention it's a totally awesome track) with only 300+ steps, but the BPM shifts and the right stops screws... When do you actually step on it? Do you like count (like Healing Vision Angelic Mix)?

Captivate ~chikai~ is kinda like Sunkiss Drop with some gallops (if I remember correctly) and a bit less abdominal pain and prolly a bit more tiring and a lot more confusing and I really can't get the ending...

Agreed

Heck, I think that it is because of the ending that makes me sweat and tire myself more than compared to AA expert.

Damn tiring

Personally

I've heard a few comments about this.

Many people in the local arcade have said that this is indeed very tough.

*Definitely not for people who cannot even pass Sakura which is the easiest lvl 10 song out there*

I'm kind of replying to all of your opinions on these songs......

Uranus: The song plays pretty okay on singles Challenge. It definitely isn't 10-footer material as we all know, but it still plays as a medium 9. I almost Aced it my first try. It just has a lot of streams which is awesome but the air stream is completely annoying.

Poseidon: The chart was definitely fit for the song. I'll say what they told me to do the other day which worked, just tap to the beat of the song on those stops and it will be perfect.

CaptivAte ~CHIKAI~: ORGASM!!!!!! >_>
The song wasn't as hard as originally thought. Sure, I sightread it on foot but I almost had a full combo with the second try....third try I was already tired out from the other songs I picked. I absolutely loved the ending....that's when "bar raping" is really beneficial. But I tried it without too and it wasn't that hard if you know how to play gallops.

Agreed on this

This technique helped me get an FC on this song (after my 5th attempt at it )

I still gotta check on Uranus Challenge

Probably by this Friday, I'll know for sure.

P.S.
How hard is it when compared to Sakura (lvl 10)? Or to A for extreme challenge?

I would say it feels like A challenge.

I see I see.

Well at least I know what I'm up against then

I guess I better bring with myself a bottle of ice-cold Gatorade with me for this.

P.S.
And I hope that I can pass this song without danger.

Maybe I'm skewed in my opinions but Uranus Challenge singles is an easy 9 and that's only because of the spam of jumps. On Doubles, Uranus Challenge is more like a tough 9.

And where do people get the idea that Sunkiss Drop and Captivate are similiar? Captivate has a lot of 16ths and Drop doesn't have very many, if any at all. It's not even that hard because it flows very well. On Doubles it's a little tougher because it forces you to change sides very fast with 16th triplets.

Poseidon could have left the pauses and speed ups out. The pauses start back up on a 32nd note so it's kinda awkward to hit.

And comparing Uranus Challenge to A Challenge? Meh. Uranus isn't nearly as fast or as streamy nor does it have fast step-step-jump parts. I say Uranus Challenge is easier than Dynamite Rave Challenge, harder than Irresistiblement.
