What is your suggestion, and why should it be implemented?
To every song that has an insanely low scroll speed, I simply ask you to raise it. It doesn't even make sense to me why it gets lowered at all because a lower scroll speed past a certain point does NOT make the game easier, it makes it harder! With more information on screen, things are more cluttered, patterns are harder to recognize and follow, and on top of that because of how slow the notes are the delay of your finger pressing the key makes you press a little bit later more often then not. There is obviously a point where fast scroll speed becomes harder than slow, but I don't think any song in the game thus far, except MAYBE like South Erect reahces that point where being fast is why it's hard. In every other song it just makes things more difficult. You don;t understand the frustration of easily GFC'ing a song in Psych Engine (Which buffs scroll speeds), but being incapable of doing the same and getting a P-Rank in base game simply because I can't tell what the fuck is going on because the notes move too damn slow! I suggest raising the scroll speed of EVERY SINGLE SONG that currently has a low scroll speed by a decent amount at least and also lowering or removing entirely how much scroll speed is chipped off by lowering difficulties, because there is no reason Normal & Easy should have absolutely anything about them that's more difficult than Hard.
Scroll speed should stop being based on BPM in my opinion... it makes more sense. 2.5 scroll speed on a 120 BPM song won't be the same on a 200 BPM song. Most rhythm games already do this
This issue has a draft PR.
This did not actually happen. There were no significant scroll speed buffs for the songs with problematically low scroll speed as far as I can tell.
Really? That's a bummer since they told me they actually did this. Can you list a few songs that are still too slow?

As far as I can tell, none of them have significantly changed. I've only played a handful of the slowest, most problematic ones, but I'm not really seeing anything being made more readable.
That could be their intentional choice not to buff scroll speeds too much, but I can ask for confirmation

The scroll speed for songs isn't consistently based on BPM though. One of the most egregious examples is between Spookeez and Pico. Both songs have a BPM of 150, but Spookeez has a scroll speed of 2.4 on hard while Pico has a scroll speed of 1.6 on hard.
(Pico is one of the songs that I think has too low of a scroll speed)

That's true, I was just confused that this was marked resolved is all
Rejected by the charters. Looks like scroll speeds will stay this way.

Fuuuck, it is so embarrassing that I can FC the hardest songs in the game, but not roses 😭💔
the game had a overall buff for all difficulties for pitstop 2. Will keep this in mind for the future though!
