Course Creation Questions

[ogami1972]

Can anyone explain the difference in gameplay between "effective", "excessive", "blastive" and "permissive" gauges? Further, what effect on a course would a player experience if I were to select "Do not allow player to use (gauge type) gauge? Similarly, what does "Force RS (gauge fallback)" do and what would be the advantage/disadvantage of "Do not allow player..."?

From a discord chat:

• effective is the default one, goes from 0% to 100%, 70% and above is clear
• excessive (aka. hard gauge) goes from 100% to 0%, when it reaches 0%, you crash; much harder to recover, very easy to lose
• blastive is IIRC SDVX's Hexadiver difficulty, goes from 100% to 0%, you can set a level on the gauge from 1 to 5, level 1 is very easy, level 5 loses gauge even on nears
• permissive is SDVX's skill analyzer difficulty, goes from 100% to 0%, and retains it's percentage between songs
  [9:01 PM] Hersi: ARS (aka backup gauge) is when you would crash with a hard gauge, it switches you into effective gauge, so you can finish the song on the normal gauge
