Stepmania Online

So I was curious since I first DLed Stepmania 5, its default difficulty is 2 but I switched it to 4; is Difficulty 4 still the status quo for SM5 as it was for the previous versions?

Honestly the only thing that is important for your scores would be your judge difficulty (which by default already was 4) if you want to show screenshots of your performances to others for comparison. Unless you are concerned with knowing if you truly passed a file, when failure is a definite possibility for you skill wise (tons of CB's and whatnot).

If you want to keep consistent though yeah Judge 4 / Life 4, but I haven't seen anyone bat an eye for those who never bothered to switch from 2 to 4.

All of the scores I have posted use Life 2 which was stepmania 5's default. No one has ever commented on it, and it doesnt really feel very different from Life 4 anyway to be honest.
