Is Blitz more fun with four lanes or five?

[nascargo19]

What if we prefer one lane songs? where is the option for that? :P

I'm asking you to choose between two things. Not pick your favorite from all conceivable possibilities.

[nascargo19]

I know. Voted four because nearly everything I've played with the added keys is impossible to level up.

I picked four because I don't like jumping three lanes to hit a purple note.

5 throws me off. I'm used to vocals being on the right end so if I forget there are keys, I fly off the vocal track .

I voted five.

If we had wrap-around (drums <-> keys), it would be a lot easier. Four is just an Easy Mode.

Ha...yeah, I do that often too, especially when the keys lane is "dimmed" because it doesn't have any notes in that particular section. When I've been playing a lot of legacy DLC I sometimes find myself continuing to tap the button when I'm going to the drums or vocals track, and it's especially easy to forget the vocals isn't the rightmost track all the time, especially when there aren't notes at that time.

It's generally easier to use specific power-ups for four-lane songs to get really high scores. So I find that there's a little more freedom to experiment with five-lane songs, which makes it more fun for me so I'm not using the same power-up combo all the time.

I'd probably have put the keys between drums and vocals on 5-lane tracks instead. Not only because it would make it easier to level up sparse key tracks (since you could switch between guitar/keys and also keys/vocals), but because it would provide a definitive "bookend" feel to the majority of songs, with vocals always on the right and drums always on the left.
