Exotic Ethnic or Afronova

Some people told me that they think that Afronova is harder than Exotic Ethnic. I really think that thayre wrong Exotic Ethnic requires a lot more skill than Afronova and by the way Exotic Ethnic sounds a lot better.So tell me which one you think is harder and why.

I fell a pontential thread treansformation... this might turn into "which is better? EE or Afro?"

I personally think afronova is a harder song. My legs give out half way while playing!

i think afronava is a little harder cuz the steps vary but in ee once the cross-overs start they basically dont stop till the nd but its still a tough song ..................for begginers

Doubles, I think Afronoops, this is the first Afronova right... well I only play doubles (more better of a chamce to fall) And I havent passed Afronova Yet(Afronova Primeval was number23), EE was my 9th 9 footer song I passed guess I should try Afronova later today and see whats harder befor I give a verdict....

EE is a constant run with a basic twist and thats it.

Afronova is not constant but has more twists and variations and it gives you breaks. plus, It has those jumps.

So as for technical difficulty, and difficulty to perform accurately I would say Afronova. As for stamina EE but only by just a little

EE is harder than Afranova hands down.

afronova and Exotic Ethnic have both been fav. songs of mine as some point in time. Differences.. afronova is a little tougher to read at some parts, and you need to know just how to play it at others. It takes a lot less energy however.. but PA might be completely different. Ofcourse, there are those last airsteps which are a doggy. Exotic seems simple at first.. i mean just streams right? But then again those are a lot of damn streams. It is certianly more tiring then afronova hands down. Now basically the answer lies depending on what kind of a player you are. If you use the bar to play, chances are you dont get tired too easily.. in which case you might think exotic ethnic is easier. if you get tired easily and are good at reading steps you will probably find afronova easier. They are both hard at their own frields.. i mean its like comparing apples to oranges. holy crap thats a long reply.. someone stop me

Wait... now we're getting into the technique and skills needed to beat these songs... wouldn't this then go into the gameplay forums?

Afronova is a bit easier cause you mostly jump and do some turns, and as for EE it's mostly turns and runs.

EE >>>>> Afronova

I don't crossover well at all, and that makes EE an absolute nightmare for me...i've FCed it double stepping..but eeek it's tiring....Afronova is cool if you can do the runs properly (turning around backwards and looking at the pad like my friend does..and he sdgs it too

)

IMO, Afronova is quite a bit harder than Exotic Ethnic in the sense that you are forced to shuffle your feet. Although EE has more steps, its much much easier to PA. Because EE consists of many long runs, its much easier to keep the beat..... but with Afronova, the steps are much more chaotic.

I've SDGed both, and have 3 less greats on EE...... but I don't doubt it could be more of a challenge than Afronova for players that don't have as much stamina.

Exotic Ethnic because it seems/is (?) faster and has harder steps

IMHO EE is a cooler song to play cause the steps makes the player look good... but difficulty wise, I think Afro has more random steps rahter than a pattern... so I think that makes Afro harder. When I played both songs on my Stepmania on my laptop, EE seemed harder cause i didnt know the pattern, but after a while i got it and on foot, its easier than afro for me now.

I think afronova is harder to PA...i cant get lower than 90 greats on it (while i can AA exotic ethnic)...and i think afronova is harder to full combo because of the end.

afronova is harder cuz its got some random stuff, and wierd tougher steps....and those doubles at the end i have yet to get....exotic ethnic is a bunch of twists and turns, which is my area pretty much...i can AA exotic ethnic, and B afronova....every now and then A it.
