Why is everyone so skilled at Charlene?

Really, I just don't understand it. People score on this song as if it's an easy 10 or even a 9, but I just can't get anywhere near where I should be on it by now. Seriously, my current score on Xuxa outmatches that of my top percentage on Charlene. Sure, the runs have easy patterns, but it's difficult to concentrate on getting a good score because of all of the mines. I don't play it that often, but I have at least done it more than some other stuff, so why does everyone else score so well on Charlene, but not me?

Perhaps because you suck at mines, like I do?

Hit mines = score goes down = awful score.
Although I will admit that it's definitely a very easy 11, it could pass as a hard 10.

Yeah, Charlene could definitely be a 10.

A lot of people find it easy to score on because it's not that fast and has simple patterns. It's a lot harder if you have trouble with mines, though. I wonder if that's why Roxor decided to make it an 11.

So um, is it bad that awhile ago I was watching Family Guy, and when Quagmire came on, I thought something to the effect of "Whoa, It's AA Bob!" (I don't remember if the exact thought was "It's AA Bob" or "It's AA Bob's avatar", but I don't think it matters in this case)?

I got an 82.xx on it if I recall correctly. The runs are very simple and straight forward, but I honestly don't think that it could be a ten. All the other tens are much easier than this.

I think its an eleven. There are a lot of jumps in it.

I got a 99.02 on this the other day.
I haven't even gotten half of the 9's ***'d yet.
Trust me, it's a 10.

Trust me, it might not even be the mines.
Usually everyone has a tendency to rush on this song especially at the beginning.

Just kinda get that down.

Then during the mine section's, just put a little more hop in your step, thats all there is to it.

Whether Charlene is a "10" or "11" depends entirely on what the understood medium for both difficulties is. If you're going by the logic of the average 11 being the difficulty of say Xuxa, then its an easy 11. If Monolith/Destiny/HxC Symph is your idea of the average 11, then it'd probably fall into the lines of a harder 10 by comparision.

Me, going by the people i've seen that are currently struggling with that difficulty range, i've seen people passing Robotox before they could get through Charlene, and I doubt too many people deem Robotix a 10, so i'll say it's an 11.

Though granted, this is one of my higher scored 11s *99.80*, it's still an 11 nonetheless.

who cares about the difficulty ratings, they are just numbers
