I would go for [Expert] as well, but since we can rename to whatever we wanted, I would name it something suitable to the song itself though.

For some reason, I see the letter "X" as a shuriken. :P

I believe it was made available before, and now it isn't anymore.

Sorry, my only point was that the graphic exists. It's not currently implemented, and I don't believe it has ever been. It's just there for the sake of future expansion.

And yeah it looks like a ninja star. I think it's pretty cool that way

Louis Cyphre's diff names are boss.
Beginner, Middling, Advanced, Experienced, Champion, [color=?????]God[/color]. I have never mapped something that i could name it as God. Champion yes, it's some sort of Extreme.

Also more suggestions:
Light, Normal, Heavy, Severe, Massive, Ultimate
Novice, Moderate, Professional, Expert, Master.

Well, i don't think that someone will change difficulty icons, so i support using 'Extreme' as highest difficulty in the mapset with 4.97 ~ 5.00 star. But you know guys very well, that star rating system works not perfect, so such maps like http://osu.ppy.sh/s/32661 , http://osu.ppy.sh/s/29691 , http://osu.ppy.sh/s/28158 would still have "I" icon, which is really incorrect. So it's better to make better star system and then start to make new generic difficulty names.

I got more:

[Badass]
[Epic]
[Cruel]
[Savant]
[Wizard]
[Legendary]

About [Expert] idk, when peppy talked about it the first time i always said that the "Expert" name didnt give me the impression of being harder than Insane, i'd prefer something like Xtreme or something, but if not then Expert should be below Insane tier (and be what Insane is now), and Insane would be the really, super hard/impossible difficulty of a map.

Other than that, yeah.

Why don't we just use [Madness] and be done with it?

I like Extreme as it's been used a lot
I hate Extra because every map I've played with that name was right down horrible
Expert is nice because it fits with osu!stream
I was thinking of Mental, actually. May seem a bit far-fetched but I kinda like it.

Extra. It's one of the few difficulties that has historically only ever been used to identify Super Insanes/Insane+++/whatever in ranked and approved maps.

Expert, Another, and Extreme have all been used a number of times to name difficulties that are merely "Insane".

For example, "Expert" is used in In the Groove. It's been used as a difficulty name that merely means "Insane" multiple times. Example: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/7983. This is possibly true of other songs from game sources as well such as Rock Band/GH.

"Extreme" is used in Jubeat. We've got a number of existing "Extreme" difficulties that are just filling in for typical insane level: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/32523 http://osu.ppy.sh/s/17812

Same with "Another" and IIDX.

"Extra" has, as far as I know, only been used in osu! maps on difficulties that are considered to be "beyond insane" and are often even featured alongside Insane difficulties. Examples: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/25922, http://osu.ppy.sh/s/4404, http://osu.ppy.sh/s/8593, http://osu.ppy.sh/s/31343, http://osu.ppy.sh/b/26726 etc etc

Granted, most of those are Touhou, but the reason it works is because "Extra" is featured as a difficulty alongside E/N/H/I levels, hence it makes sense in regard to osu! as a 5th difficulty name, unlike Normal/Hyper/Another or Basic/Advanced/Extreme, which doesn't really translate well into the idea of osu! having 5 difficulty levels. Ironically, Extra is easier than Lunatic and usually even Hard in touhou games.

And another to the list... to me, Expert is the difficulty below Master in F-Zero games... i.e., it's Hard. Extra might sound dorky to some but if we're shooting for consistency it's probably the best choice.

I use 'Ridiculous'.

On top of that, I think "Insane" is a stupid name for a diff, makes you think that it's an impossible map for some kinda fucking insane morons
It's true. We did kind of paint ourselves into a corner with that one. Pretty much every name people use to mean "above Insane" is really just a synonym...

New name ?
Uhhh...

[Total Insanity] ?
[Cursed] ? <= This applies to Gezo maps only
[Hell] ? (Like Rainbow Tyle)
[2000] ?

[OSU!] Difficulty

Not very original, but it makes sense gaming-wise.

Skyrim has another good example of difficulty names:
Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Expert, Master

[Extreme], [Expert] and [Extra] are all self-explanatory and don't sound fruity. [Crazy!] is used by Larto, but the exclamation mark makes it gay.

To be honest, I'd prefer [Intense] instead of [Insane]. I kept calling it the former initially and I see more of a difference between [Intense]/[Extreme] than [Insane]/[Extreme]. Food for thought.
