Z-I-V's 10 hardest IIDX songs 2014.

We've all seen that one video on YouTube that ranks the 10 hardest IIDX songs. But it's a bit out of date and some of the ordering was questionable.

So I've decided I'll try to make a new one. But I would need a consensus from the players on this site.

WHAT TO DO:
- Make a list, from 10 down to 1 (the hardest) of which you think are the 10 hardest songs in IIDX.
- This is SINGLE 7-key ANOTHER charts only, from games up to and including SPADA. They can be songs which debuted in IIDX or crossovers, just any song which appeared in any version of IIDX. Special charts (Black Another, Leggendaria etc.) are not included.

Here's a little template:

My picks will come later. Over to you.

It's actually really hard to make a top 10 chart in this day in age when there are so many different types of difficulty based on what an individual player is good or bad at, such as Scratch-Heavy songs, Charge Note songs, Scales, or Chord-Heavy songs.
There's also differences based on whether you are trying to Normal Clear or Hard Clear a song.

However, This Post is a good place to start, as it's a good run-down of what most of the top players in japan think as far as the difficulty breakdown for level 12 songs goes.
Might be a bit too comprehensive for what you are looking for, but it's a good look-through all the same.

All I got from that is that Hard Clear > Normal Clear and Himiko is a bitch.

Hmuh, I still can't easy clear any of the top class 12 (except quell for an unknown reason), so it's completly a "I don't know when I'll be able to clear it" scale that I can give

For an easy clear

10. Confiserie
9. Plan 8
8. IX
7. Elemental Creation
6. Timepiece Phase II (CN ver.)
5. IX
4. Perditus Paradisus
3. 嘆きの樹
2. 卑弥呼
1. Sigmund Legendarria

Some charts like 3y3s, 冥, 煉獄のエルフェリア, 灼熱 Beach Side Bunny, Thor's Hammer or Almagest would jump in if it was on Hard rating, but I seriously don't have any way of knowing what would the hardest here

The 2ch rate is actually pretty accurate I think, and gives a good idea of your level (I'm around B/B+ in normal and C/B in hard with some exceptions, ashamed to say I can't hard clear 黒髪乱れし修羅となりて)

Iunno man, the only exposure I've ever had to Another 12's was through seeing people who are way better at the game than me play them in RL, and even those guys can't do most of them, so this is purely from a spectator's viewpoint:

10. Almagest
9. Elemental Creation
8. perditus paradisus
7. DIAVOLO
6. Thor's Hammer
5. IX
4. G59
3. Beachside Bunny
2. Himiko
1. Sigmund

What happened to V?

V is a lower level 12 around AA's difficulty. It's nowhere near as hard as the songs mentioned in this thread. Also nice bump.
