|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 千年ノ理 [SPA] | 12★ |
if you're out of touch on charts below C or D tier, maybe you underrate this, but if you're just breaking into 12s this is in no way shape or form easier than SSC, steel edge, icarus, etc. nonran is 12.2ish, my luckiest rran was like 11.8
(Scales, Chord Scales, Chords, Difficult End) |
Regular, R-Random | 12.2 | -- | -- | -- |
| ICARUS [SPA] | 12★ |
the year is 2007. the IIDX producers are sitting in a room deciding how to rate four pieces and icarus. somehow, icarus becomes a 12 over four pieces. god, wearing a shit eating grin, balances the universe by giving us icarus black another.
(Speed Changes, Rolls, Difficult Middle) |
11.8 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Steel Edge [SPA] | 12★ |
as @YungVoltaire said. the last run of HCNs and density at the end are basically the deciding factor. but if you *are* a glazed over boomer, try primitive vibes instead
(Scratching, Charge Notes, Rolls, Chords) |
Regular | 11.8 | -- | -- | -- |
| SPECIAL SUMMER CAMPAIGN [SPA] | 12★ |
honest chart; relatively consistent density throughout but no gimmicks or bullshit ending. Definitely a fakecel 12; my 2nd after steel edge
(Denim, Chords) |
Regular, Random | 11.9 | -- | -- | -- |
| Honey Trap [SPA] | 11★ |
it's a sota chart - by now you probably know what that means. if you get this you can definitely go for stoic hypothesis too
(Scratching, Scales, Rolls, Chords, Difficult End) |
11.2 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Nothing but Theory [SPA] | 11★ |
the first goated lapix another most will clear. scales as all hell but nothing terribly tricky, and easy to hold your gauge from the last drop onward. I have never randomed this or felt the need to
(Jacks, Scales, Chord Scales) |
Regular | 11.1 | 11.2 | -- | -- |
| Empire State Glory [SPA] | 11★ |
my last E tier 11 because I suck at scales, but generally randoms pretty nicely and will eventually click if you grind it
(Scales, Difficult End) |
Random | 11.2 | -- | -- | -- |
| DAWN -THE NEXT ENDEAVOUR- [SPA] | 11★ |
as long as you don't fall asleep because you're listening to dawn the next endeavour and you're decent at chords it could be a sightread AA
(Chords) |
Regular | 11.1 | -- | -- | -- |
| 〆 [SPH] | 9★ |
a reasonably dense 9; throws a little of everything at you and doesn't really let up for a break. I played this a couple times per session until double stairs clicked
(Scales, Chord Scales, Rolls) |
Regular, Mirror | 9.7 | -- | -- | -- |
| 獅子霞麗ノ舞 [SPA] | 9★ |
simply do not drop HCNs to inflate charge on your notes radar
(Charge Notes, Chords) |
8.9 | 9.0 | -- | -- | |
| BroGamer [SPH] | 9★ |
the scratch+chord combos are a REALLY good check as you're leaving 9s and going to 10s. rampage hyper's little brother
(Scratching, Chords, Difficult End) |
Regular | 9.7 | 9.8 | -- | -- |
| COSMIC☆WONDER☆REVOLUTION [SPA] | 9★ | one of the many great chord charts in the 9 folder. good practice for confident hitting (gachi as the kids say) and timing. also flips the kick drum between 1 and 7, keeping you from getting complacent with the beat | Regular, Random, R-Random | 9.3 | 9.5 | -- | -- |
| GENOM SCREAMS [SPA] | 9★ |
as is the case with many charts from older styles the chad way to clear this is 5 beers deep with s-ran
(Scales, Chord Scales, Chords, Difficult End) |
S-Random | 9.8 | 9.6 | -- | -- |
| Temple of Anubis [SPH] | 8★ |
probably should be a 7. if you already know the song's rhythms from the SPN it's free
(Scratching, Scales, Trills, Rolls) |
7.9 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Nothing but Theory [SPH] | 8★ |
this song is the shit. if you fancy yourself good at streams and stairs coming out of 7s this is a great first 8 to clear
(Jacks, Scales, Rolls) |
8.0 | 8.2 | -- | -- | |
| HAT TRICK [SPH] | 8★ |
the charge notes are barely worth mentioning
(Scales, Chord Scales, Rolls, Chords) |
8.2 | -- | -- | -- | |
| FUTURE is Dead [SPH] | 8★ |
if you can do on the fm you can do this
(Scratching, Scales, Rolls) |
8.6 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Chemical Cookie [SPH] | 8★ |
can you staircase? this chart will not sugarcoat the answer
(Scales) |
8.4 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Best of Me [SPH] | 8★ |
chord focused with a few interesting scratches
(Scratching, Jacks, Scales, Chords) |
8.6 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Amor De Verão [SPH] | 8★ |
interesting because loads of syncopation and not obvious rhythms. don't get distracted by the anime girls or choke the jacks
(Scratching, Jacks, Scales, Rolls) |
8.4 | -- | -- | -- | |
| PAPAYAPA BASS [SPH] | 8★ |
oddly similar to blust of wind now that I think about it. fishes
(Scales, Chord Scales, Trills, Chords) |
8.4 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Music is The Answer [SPH] | 8★ |
these c show songs man. challenges your horizontal reading but once it clicks it's easy
(Scratching, Scales, Rolls) |
8.6 | -- | -- | -- | |
| La dolce primavera [SPH] | 8★ |
everything that ain't scratching
(Scales, Chord Scales, Chords) |
8.0 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Glitch Nerds [SPH] | 8★ |
streamy chart with some CNs and scratches thrown in. if you flub the streams in the middle you can pick some gauge back up before the song ends
(Scratching, Charge Notes, Scales) |
8.3 | -- | -- | -- | |
| do the thing feat. Kanae Asaba [SPH] | 8★ |
Nice all rounder chart. good for managing syncopated rhythms between multiple keys
(Scratching, Scales, Rolls, Chords) |
8.1 | -- | -- | -- | |
| Flash Back 90's [SPH] | 8★ |
throws some interesting streams and scratches at you, especially in the eurobeat section. awesome roll practice tho
(Scratching, Scales, Rolls) |
8.7 | 8.9 | -- | -- | |
| On the FM [SPH] | 8★ |
One of the most fun 8s. Like most CShow songs has "fast" and "slow" sections, with a little bit of everything
(Scratching, Scales, Trills, Chords) |
