I personally think that Buffalo is pretty easy scoring wise, except for a few parts. Route 80's is pretty straightforward to me. Summer Vacation isn't too bad, although it's not the easiest flashing 7 to score on. I think V is the easiest to score on, flashing or not.

I find 20, November and Buffalo to be the hardest 7s to score on. I end up around 140,000 every time. Route 80s isn't as bad as those two, but I'm certainly not going to get anything higher than an A on it for a while.

The only other 7 Key song I havn't been able to get at least an A on is The Safari. Well, that and Changes, but I don't think I've played that song for... months.

Yes, I do have a hard time with slow songs. It really shows when my 5th style scores are compared to my 6th style sccores, since 5th style has slower speed options. I actually play buffalo with hs2 or hs3 with sudden on rather than hs4 to try and make it faster.

With the flashing 7's I have an AAA on dxy! and get on beat done on random, G2 done on mirror, and take it easy, b4u, and V normally. The reason I say summer vacation is hard is because there is a scratch on my disc that prevents me from playing it (along with nemesis and something wonderful) and the last time I had a chance to play it, I couldn't even AA it. I played it a bunch of times in a row and got around 172000 each time. That was a long time ago (right when home 6th came out), so i'm not exactly sure how I would fare now. I would definatly be able to break 180000, but i'm not too sure I could do the AAA yet. I need to grab someone else's 6th style for a day and play summer vacation and nemesis sometime..

Flowtation is pretty easy, but my definition of easy is any song I can pass

. The only challenging part is the ending, which I couldn't read to save my life until I slowed it down in training mode. Once you see what's going on and get it under your fingers, it's not too difficult.

Am I the only one who doesn't find Route 80s THAT easy? I never play things one-handed, and something about the akward scracthing gets to me. I mean, I passed Absolute and Presto before I could to it...

And the end of Flowtation is just you playing two rhythms at once. It's pretty easy if you know what they are.

And the easiest 7star is 250bpm, IMO.

I have to disagree. I can't clear Summer Vacation if I wanted to, even with two hands! For some reason I just can't play that song.

Flowtation is really easy on 7keys, and just like Pong said, once you get both beats down, easy A or above.

I honestly don't see how Route 80s could be a 7* when I had more trouble with songs like 19, November, and Dissolve, or even The Shining Polaris. Let's not even mention Hyper Boundary Gate....

Hyper Boundary Gate was upgraded to 7 stars in 8th Style, FYI.

And unfortunately Starmine was changed to a 7 star in 8th Style. Lame.

Same with Macho Gang, according to this website I found.

R5 Light 7 needs a 6th star. R10K Light 7 needs not a 5th star.

R5 is easy on l7 and 7 key, it deserves the 7 stars on 7 key, but it deserves a 5 on l7.

I actually found a couple six stars on L7 to be disgustingly easy, like VJ Army, and especially Frozen Ray. The should really be fives. And R10K was also suprisingly easy. But The Strong Jaeger should be a six on L7, I still can't pass that thing , even though I've already passed its counter-part, Theme of Denjin J. But on another note, does anyone have any good ideas for going from playing five stars on 7K to playing sixes? Thanx.

~Peace~

I got to practicing buffalo a bit, and increased my score to 1297, which is pretty close. I kinda cheated though; I covered about an inch off the top my TV screen with a blanket to make it easier to read. It also improved my high scores on route 80's, and kochi o muite yo. I need to find a more effective way to read slow songs better...

I still say Flowtation is worth 7 stars.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I can't pass hardly any of the harder songs I used to: R10K, rottel -da-sun, strong jaeger, theme of denjin, and many other. I used to be able to pass those fairly easily, and now I can't even come close. One day it just happens. I'm inept at passing it. It's really starting to piss me off.

Yeah, that's happened to me a few times. I beat Get On Beat Wild Style Another once, then couldn't do it for two months after the first time.

It may have to do with the fact that when you're trying really hard to pass something for the first time, you concentrate harder. Then, after you've beat it, you're more relaxed because you think "Oh, I can beat this thing now."

Of course, you could be having good/bad days, too.
