expert too hard, hard too easy

[jayfreck]

can we have a difficulty inbetween these two?

It would require building entire maps for the existing songs, so it wouldn't be a easy task and most likely would be way after they finish working on the PSVR version.

Maybe I can help in another way, what about hard makes it too easy and expert too hard?

Once you get used to the game expert will be too easy and expert+ songs will be too hard.

[Darkability]

yeah, the difficulties are really messed up with the spacing

I just feel there's suddenly a lot more boxes to cut and can't keep up with them. since they block the view of the ones behind, it feels like quite a difficulty jump

The important thing to remember for the boxes that are right behind other boxes (i.e. you can't see the arrow), is that, at least for the original song set, they're always in the opposite direction of the block immediately proceeding it. Aside from that, it just comes down to practice and building up the strength/coordination.

If you find Hard too easy and Expert too difficult, my suggestion would be to try and go for all ranks S (or SS) for songs on Hard mode; if you were just going for a full combo in hard mode up to this point, this will up the difficulty considerably. If you can already do that and are still hitting a wall with Expert, the best way to practice is to turn on "No Fail" mode and just run through the songs until you break through that wall.

I thought the jump was really big too, but not too much if you work your way towards it.

ive said this too! i agree. there is too big a gap between dificullties

[ropman]

I had the same feeling once. I recommend to try to beat legend first as it is the easiest expert song. Or install custom songs. Some of them on hard can be more difficult, or maybe some expert songs will be easier for you.

[jayfreck]

good advice, thanks!

i'll give those suggestions a try

[Penther Sechs]

I was looking for that, I have exactly the same feeling!

I went easilly through the campaign up to the songs in hard, but I quickly lose all the expert songs.
I went through all the songs several times after that, in hard rank S with full combos... but expert is still way too hard, and I don't have any feeling that I'm starting to get it...

I guess I'll try custom songs to find an intermediate difficulty, but that's not a good thing to require that to close the gap. (or maybe I'll add modifiers ?)

Maybe the shock is due to the progression between easy/normal/hard that is very very smooth... maybe those gaps are too small and the hard/expert gap too wide ?

Maybe they should add another difficulty between hard and expert?

Used to think the same thing, but it gets even worse between expert and expert +. Two things I wish they'd remove: Expert +, and no-fail mode, since even if you're on no-fail, your score goes up on the board anyways. It's pointless and reflects nothing.

But yeah, the skill jump can be pretty bad if you aren't 100% in-tune with your inner lizard-brain.

[Archangel]

They need an "advanced" level between "Hard" and "Expert"

[Kissaki]

Use the increase and reduce speed modifiers to get two in-between options.

How long do you have in the game? It took me a while to be confident with Expert, but now I find anything below Expert way too easy and quite a few songs on Expert are too easy too,

[adwan]

Guys there is extra speed check box? Why dont you use it? It work really well, start on expert and play with higher speed. In some songs feels much better then expert + !!!!
