Context: "Quantization, in mathematics and digital signal processing, is the process of mapping input values from a large set (often a continuous set) to output values in a (countable) smaller set, often with a finite number of elements."

I know people are going to complain, but this chart is goddamn brilliant. It doesn't ask you to move at lightspeed -- it just asks you to pay attention, use your ears, trust your gut. It's among my favourite 10s already. EDIT: Yeah, CC is a fair critique. But I've always maintained that CC isn't something we're meant to know about, much less game? This is an unpopular opinion definitely. But I haven't even AA'd this yet, although I chalk at least part of that up to luck. So I get criticizing the CC. I didn't actually know what the criticisms were going to *be* when I wrote this comment; I was pre-empting doing so.
Yeah, people (including me) aren't complaining about the gimmick and the chart itself. I loveee the gimmick. But the fact that this is a 10.6... like, I'd genuinely be fine with it being a 10.7..
y'know for the part after the rain of conflict jack/trills i wanna disagree with the "moving at lightspeed" part unless you meant the really fast trills like the ones in #1f1e33 and not the "funny big slams" and a wide 8ths also what the guy above said and please don't make me recite an entire essay of why this is higher than 10.6/other CCs should be nerfed i have a tendency to do exactly that
It's really fun when you get the hang of it, but honestly I get it, lose the rhythm a tiny bit and your accuracy may easily drop a lot. I think people are complaining more about the difficulty number choice and not the chart itself. I've seen lots of people saying this is a 10+, and not a 10
@s1logen Having learned how to read Manic Jeer I consider them very similar in difficulty, Astral Quantization is just much easier to read (unless you suck at the visual gimmick for some reason)
10 seems fitting. after many retries, you really get to memorize the beat (as a rhythm gamer should) and you realize that the chart is pretty simple and the actual challenge is with the slam arcs. i love this song and i enjoyed this chart so much lol
people, this is a 10 at most, the patterns and rhythms are quite straightforward, with barely any rhythms to be seen, the only actual challenges are the arc zone near the beginning, the gimmick zone and the ending (if you have a reading skill issue, just learn the rhythms lol)
to everyone saying 10+: y'all have gotta remember that as of late, lowiro has been rating a lot more on execution difficulty than reading difficulty. this is a solid 10.6! it's got simple patterns that you'd see in a 10.3, and the fucked up thing about it is the gimmick, which is what pushes it to the top of the difficulty block! y'all just need to learn it, it's not that bad
who cares if it's 10 or 10+ or what constant this should have (if you teenagers care about numbers so much you'd better work on bumping up your school grades instead lol) this is such a banger of a chart regardless of the number written on it and is really fun to learn
I like this song and chart a lot(maybe a little obsessed with the memory gimmick) but how is this on the tier of cyanine, [X] and axium(and how the heck is halcyon lower than the aforementioned songs)
@@user-hu8g7riy5v I'm not that one guy that somehow thinks a chart that's 11.5cc is actually 10.3cc. this chart is mostly straightforward, even the stutter sections to some extent, so yes even 10.5 would be a very fitting cc for it and y'all just need better pattern recognition and shit
@@TalosMistake nah ouroboros is currently a 10.7 and that's completely fine, notice how y'all so far tried to make an argument by mentioning OLD charts instead of actually saying why THIS chart should actually be 10+
If it wasn’t for the gimmicks that kind of buffed it (which I wholeheartedly disagree), this would certainly be a free reign 9+. Personally I think it’s a 10.1, I bet it was so close to being rated as a 9+.
they didn’t make this a 10 because it was too easy, they just made 10+ harder instead (lie, my lament rain and designant ftr scores are half a mil higher than this wtf)
The gimmick is fine as a 9 (See The government knows fanmade chart as the ref), but not for the arcs... I am super surprised by the arcs in this chart. Personal cc: 10.7 (Hate the arcs). One of the torturous 10s I have ever seen! I know why it is a 10. The triplets are seen in lots of levels. Like Lethal voltage, bookmaker, but hugely extended and some slam arcs also appear in present and lower future levels. See Designant in PRS 9, then you would see why. The ground trill seems resembles the latest ak+q song ftr pattern, replacing skyholds to one-note hold. Also, this level triplets prove that ouroboros real difficulty should not be 10+, it should be a 10 (10.4-.5) instead. Edit: I seemingly like this chart more and more!
for once i actually agree with your judgement but for all the wrong reasons stuff like “Good bye, Merry go round”, magnolia and pentiment have similar over-the-top slams that makes this look really tame(unless you play on lower refresh-rate which they’re about the same) also do you not like alternate trills(the things you call a triplet note which should really only be applied to the kyoren hearts)
@mechanicalmacbook Interesting take. I have a hottake, but please don't attack me if I am wrong, the over the top slams in the charts you mentioned should be around 10-10+. Using this standard, the slams in Astral Quan are justified to be a 10. I usually called triplets as the visualization looks like that, rather than alternative trills.
@@arcaea_guythat take feels like it’s just been put in the drink compartment of the fridge and slams are put in 10-10+ charts anyways(except trap crow[that song’s more about flow than “how fast can your hands go”, it’s on the easier spectrum of “sightread hell” compared to third sun ETR and any of kurorak’s slow charts, also it being in the free pack only means this is meant to be slam tutorial] and hypnotize ETR[same as trap crow for that specific part but if you stretch it really hard it could be a 10.0, i mean vicious heroism is the baseline 10.0 and it’s easier save for the X jacks]) also i may have misunderstood your terminology regarding triples(what’s the grievous lady jack/trills called if 1:11 trills are trips)

The arcs, too, follow paths which are quantized into steps following the tempo, and the way to play them is to interpolate their path.
