A lot of what makes people think the timing changes is because of the lane flares that happen when you hit a note correctly. 8th Style in particular has really tall lane flares that cover up some of the notes a bit. I guess that affects some people.
it sure as hell effects me, after playing 12th style(and then 13th, and 9th), i find it really hard to even think about playing 8th again. i mean, i knew i couldn't read notes too well when i started the game with 8th, but it was only after i played another style that i could be positive it was the note flares obscuring my vision of the notes. my skill got drastically better when i started playing 12th, but thats a different story.
played some 13th, still worse than i was some month ago. i did end up improving several scores, but nothing major enough to remember.
*edit* hey something decent
go beyond [h] A
also, i just realised that i can activate sudden plus by hitting the start button twice
