To point 3.) You are mostly right. Just let me mention that it is easier to play patterns which have more main notes than semi notes?
Easier: kdddkddk
Harder: dkkkdkkkd
Everything else I would personally agree to. The more irregular a pattern becomes, the harder it is to play.
- SV is also an elementary factor here, especially when playing with mods. The scrollbar is after all the playfield.
- Well, you showed now some patterns which might be hard/easy, but the question is rather which play-style do we considere. Is it ooxx or xoox ? This is important to be able to determinate what patterns are hard/easy. So if you ask me, the authentic style (xoox) should be considered in the calculation, since this is after all a game based by a drum which is played in this way. So are oxxoxxo really hard patterns since the alternate way of them is really complicated.
Considering the alternate-play way, I say the controversy about some patterns you mentioned before:
oox / xoo > oxo / xox
oxxoxxo -> really hard pattern for alternate
oooxxxo -> ^
ooo ooo o ooo o ooo -> easier since you have rest moments (the gaps)
oooooooooooooooo -> harder, have to play frequently with constant timing
I hope I wasn't too short with my explanations. I want to keep it as short as possible.

So again, for someone who doesn't alternate, this pattern can become hard. Those who do, they feel totally okay with it. Monotonically streams are a bigger problem since you have to keep the hit frequency and can't swap to another finger. I'm an "alternater" and I never had a problem with these patterns. Neither do others of my "kind".Loctav wrote:

- As I stated above, I think FL is not really needed here.

If FL is disabled or gives no points, this problem will no longer be existent.Luna wrote:
1) SV - Extremely high/low SV is hard to read, but should probably only give a small bonus since DSing is a thing and not provable =/
