      Expurgation is EASIER than Hellclown on a slower scroll speed. The mines in Expurgation are much less conspicuous than the ones in Hellclown, but they lose effectiveness at a slower scroll. Take into account that because of the increased danger Expurgation mines pose, theres a smaller number of them, meaning they lose even MORE effectiveness. Hellclown isnt really affected by slower scroll speeds because the mines are plenty in the chart, and it can overload the amount of information placed on the screen, and the lack of an easy to follow rhythm (time signatures always changing) makes it tricky.

    Any sort of FNF fandom that doesn't involve some notable mod devs have been garbage for a while now.
    There's a reason scroll speed is an option there. The developers aren't going to force it upon the players and let them figure it out (unless you want to challenge yourself). Not everyone has superb reaction times to prepare for the very fast upcoming notes.
    Acai is built different as he's played Guitar Hero a _very_ long time and can hit notes on reaction really well. But the Tricky fight was meant to discourage mashing at Phase 3 and (especially the) unlockable 4th song since most players pass it using that method. Again though, not everyone plays the same nor do they share the same skill floor/ceiling.
    Anyways, it's nice you enjoyed the mod, Acai. Don't think much of the FNF fans and you'll have a good time.

    In terms of rhythm games and options, there's a reason options are there. To customize the player experience. If people are mad over that, that's their issue.
    Btw, scroll speed doesn't equal difficulty. Sure, a huge part of the "difficulty" of Expurgation are the death notes. Not having a lot of time to react mean you hit those notes more often, bit on lower scroll speeds, it's less about reaction and more about an obstacle to traverse.
    Both are valid ways to play.

      that said, it's p a i n f u l l y clear none of them have ever touched a 4k mania type game for more than like, 5 minutes. Scroll speed's really cool in that it's not just a customization and preference option, but effectively changes what type of player you are. People that are really proficient in these games have different scroll speeds, but it doesn't change the difficulty, but it does change the *type* of difficulty.
      High scroll speed players have to react quickly, but after the muscle memory is worked out, they have a lot more visual clarity for hitting the notes, and timing them.
      Slow scroll speed players may not have to react quickly with reflexes, but they have the luxury of having a sea of notes on screen at a time, that they have go read and decipher the order, while also timing everything as it flows into the slots like molasses.
      They're different types of difficulty, but they're both at the same level.

Having a high scroll speed can make it a lot harder and i hate it when mods do that because then you've just gotta rely on you reaction times instead of actually being good at rhythm games.

      In my opinion it really breaks the terror of hitting the halo notes. The people who made this aren't really evil to the point where they spammed it everywhere. There's barely in the beginning where most of them are in beginning or end of your turn ( there's literally just some placed out notes during the hold notes in the midway where Tricky yells Hank) only the end part was really hard because they increase the number of notes to avoid and start putting some of them in between normap notes. As evil as the final stretch looks like, it actually isn't as hard if you remember that the first notes of this whole song is the same as the ending and all you literally have to do is tap them again without missing most of them.

      Expurgation (and to a lesser extent, HELLCLOWN) is kind of a rare exception to the usual unspoken rules of scroll speed, mostly because of its use of "mines". Part of the actual difficulty in Expurgation is the combination of the mines plus a default scroll speed of roughly 3.5 or so, as opposed to the actual chart itself. Coupled with the distractions thrown in, it creates a difficult chart. When you lower the scroll speed, you remove a lot of that difficulty (albeit unintentionally) because there is no longer a need to worry about the mines when you have ample time to process them coming and avoid them, as opposed to having to anticipate them and avoid them.
      That difference is huge when it comes to the difficulty of the chart. The distractions also lose some of their effectiveness when the scroll speed is lower, as well, thus making them less of an issue (yet another drop in difficulty). It just so happens that Expurgation (and to a lesser extent, HELLCLOWN) is a rare exception where the scroll speed actually matters a great deal.

    Even ignoring the fact that people can play on whatever the heck note speed they want, I always found FNF, Stepmania etc harder at higher speeds because the notes scrolling straight down instead of at an angle means they take up more space on the screen and it’s a little harder (for some people, myself included) to focus on a wider area of the screen. Rock Band and Clone Hero take up less screen real estate and are at an angle so it’s easier to process even at higher speeds, and even something like DJMAX RESPECT, which is presented similarly to FNF, is easier because notes aren’t huge and they don’t travel right from the top to the bottom of the screen.
    But that’s just me I suppose. Either way, people who whine about note speeds have never played a rhythm game themselves. You do you dude

    fwiw, I always try on the "default" note speed - I think it's the most "cinematic" and generally the dev's or charter's "intended" note speed.
    I think a higher note speed *generally* makes the game harder....but then there's the opposite where super low can make it likewise harder. They're both, well, difficult to read.
    And I think, sometimes, that's designed to be part of the challenge.
    Because of that, I *do* think changing the note speed because it's hard to read "is baby," but at the end of the day, it's a game, you should have fun, and "baby" is okay. And honestly lower (or higher) note speed is a completely valid option for practice even if you think it's not "legit."
    But also, theoretically speaking... if you manage to memorize the whole chart, the note speed *doesn't matter at all.* So maybe that just invalidates my entire opinion.

      To be fair, it does meaningfully change the difficulty of a chart with a gimmick where you have to have to react to avoid a specific note. A slower scroll makes it easier to avoid said notes since you have longer to react. Nothing against doing it, I myself am so shit at rhythm games I had a hard enough time getting through normal base fnf, but it's disingenuous to say it does "nothing meaningful to the difficulty" of this particular case.

    Why are people upset at the scroll speed being slower?
    It's still the same song, just moving slower. The inputs are the exact same >.>;
    It might be some misconception about Rhythm Games that things going fast = hard

      That's kind of how it works, fast goes indeed equal harder

      Doesn't justify people being so upset about this, but technically true.

      Scroll speed is more a matter of personal preference and accessibility rather than something that’s meant to be part of the difficulty. Just like how for controls some people prefer arrow keys, some people prefer WASD, some people prefer DFJK, and so on, it’s also the case that for scroll speeds some people like it slower and some people like it faster.
      Slower is easier to react to but harder to read. Faster is harder to react to but easier to read.

    Scroll speed? DOWN? how dare you. Play it on note speed 30000000. That's what I beat it on, because I'm GOOD.

    everyone is going insane because he changed the scroll speed, lmao.
    But seriously, if there's an option to change the speed to your liking, why not use it? It would me a *very* limited mod to play if it wasn't for the options.

    I think the scrollspeed thing is because FNF brought a LOOOT of people who are new to rythm games that haven't had the time to figure out all the stuff that people have been figuring out for years already. Especially when a lot of the earlier mods championing their difficulty weren't very complex but had really high scroll speed. They'll get there, in the end all that matters is that you enjoy what you're playing.
