boutch: die zauberflote (dm) is down in the 80s on V3. they downrated it quite a long way from V2 (adv. went from 80s to 70s, ext. went from 90s to 80s).
checky, I guess it's a style difference - I spam a lot more =) when I'm playing level 80+ stuff I generally play maybe 20% more snare and cymbal hits than actually exist in the song, and even more bass. I tend to default to just hitting the bass on every beat and concentrating on reading the drums. So I do better on songs like Cockpit, DD3, and You Can't Do It which have kinda regular beats and are hard mainly because there are a lot of hits and they're fast, and worse on a song like Tamayura whose difficulty comes from odd patterns (I lose more than half the health bar just on the opening snare roll). |
