Pre-Christmas updates, hopefully the last updates for this.
Khelly/Yuudachi-kun has decided to redo the first 3 dan courses, due to the lower chart quality in the first three courses. The first three dans should be around the same difficulty, though you can find some patterning to be frustrating due to the anchory nature of some of the charts in the courses. I should be uploading these courses in the next few days - so this is a forewarning for anyone who is going for 1st to 3rd Dan in the next 48 hours.
This also means that all scores for 1st to 3rd Dan v1 will be invalidated.Dan courses in this range are OD7.5 and HP8. These courses have 10 second breaks between songs.You might notice that the MP3 quality of some of these songs are garbage as well, Soul Destructor is the most notable example. All complaints go to Khelly for that.
Second update, there will now be backgrounds for
all 4K dan courses. Sparx555 and sinewave have made backgrounds for these dan courses to make them easier to differentiate from other dan courses and to create a more "professional" presentation. You are of course, still allowed to use the ones with no background or the ones uploaded by pikechu (and other people who have uploaded the dan courses online), as long as the dan courses are the most updated versions.
This should be the last update for any dan course. While there is a notable error in 8th dan (Kaguyahime/Brute Force being too difficult), I don't think it's fruitful to really change it further. 5th dan is by far the most popular dan course played (and is received very well) and it will be a really bad idea to change anything about it. 6th dan doesn't seem to have any notable errors, maybe sans Bangin' Burst.
Thank you to everyone involved, and apologies for the inconvenience to players who are currently 1st to 3rd Dan.
Oh yeah, there are 4K LN dan courses if that tickles your fancy too. Give
arcwinolivirus' 4K LN tier courses if that tickles your fancy.
