I wholly oppose any effort to do this to all songs, including those not included in JD4's Workout Mode. For one thing, it would become arbitrary very fast since we'd have little guidelines to go on (and Ubisoft don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to rating their own songs by difficulty. There are plenty of songs that were originally rated Hard that were re-rated as Easy once they were added to JDN), for another, no clear guidelines.

So who decides how to rate, say, "What Makes You Beautiful"? And what guidelines do we go by? Soon, we'll have long debates for most songs. "Is this really a Hard?" "No, I think it's an Easy." "But why?" "Because of X, Y, Z." "But what about A, B, C?". And at the end of the day, whatever consesus we reach would still be arbitrary.

There's a reason why we don't rate every song since Just Dance 2014 on an Easy to Hardest scale, even songs that were never rated by Ubisoft themselves. That logic should apply here. No arbitrary community-based ratings of songs.

Well, since there are only solo songs in Just Sweat 2012 edition, then I think there would just be "none" under duets and dance crews, and if you find a solo routine under intense, then rate it intense and same thing with the cool songs. In the end, I think it's a good idea. Re-read the blog post linked to in the original post. Master Hydraffe says he's suggesting we do both what's in the OP of this thread and the original blog post he linked to. I very specifically said that I support what's suggested in the original post of this thread (simply noting down what classifications songs had in Sweat in JD4) but opposed what's suggested in the blog post (doing this for all songs, even those not in Sweat in JD4).

It's why I mentioned "What Makes You Beautiful" since it wasn't included in Workout Mode in JD4 and we'd have to classify it from scratch.

So, again, simply noting down which songs were in Workout Mode in JD4 and what classifications they had in Workout Mode? Yes. Inventing ratings based on Workout Mode in JD4 for all songs in JD4 or all songs in the series ever? Hell to the naw. Well, this is probably going to be a real bad idea, but just see how much they move their body, and how much you have to actually work out during the songs, like if they barely move their feet, like Disturbia, then we rate it Cool. If they're like jumpin all over the place like Oh No!, then we [falsely] rate them Intense, but this idea might get turned down fast, anyways. Don't wanna upset the master.......
