Ranking factors for difficult song

  1. Song length
    Longer songs can be more challenging as they require more stamina and consistent focus from the player.
  2. Beats per minute (BPM)
    Faster songs with higher BPMs are generally more difficult as they require quicker reflexes and hand-eye coordination.
  3. Complexity of patterns
    Difficulty increases when there are intricate, rapid, or unpredictable patterns that require players to use a wide range of motions and timing.
  4. Song difficulty rating
    The in-game difficulty rating system (Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert, Expert+) provides a general assessment of the challenge level.
  5. Density of notes and obstacles
    The number of notes and obstacles (like bombs and walls) in a given time frame can impact the difficulty, with higher density leading to increased challenge.
  6. Mapping quality
    Well-mapped songs follow the rhythm and structure of the music, making them more enjoyable and easier to anticipate compared to poorly mapped songs.
  7. Required skillset
    Songs that demand a wide range of skills such as crossovers, drum rolls, jumps, and one-hand playing tend to be more challenging.
  8. Player feedback and community rankings
    Listening to feedback from other players and checking community-created rankings can give an indication of how difficult a song is compared to others in the game.
  9. Personal preference and skill level
    Some players may find certain music genres, patterns, or beats more challenging than others, so individual preference plays a role in determining song difficulty.
  10. Number of retries and practice required
    The more times a player needs to retry a song or practice specific sections to pass or master it, the more difficult the song can be considered.
