Divinity - So glad they put in the version with rolls. A ton of fun and everything is the way I want it.

Excite Bike - LOL. Offsync, which is especially impressive considering the song length. It makes me all fuzzy inside to know this song tops the most played list day after day, for some reason.

Forza Azzuri - This should have been a great file, but I don't think it is. Can't put my finger on it, but I guess it's not stepped enough for my tastes. Could use a few more arrows, maybe?

Destiny v2 - Better than the v1 dump but I not-so-secretly wish I could have gotten the version Shash played in his video onto FFR. The file itself is meh. About the best this song can give I guess.

Piano Etude (Demon Fire) - Great song, sloppy steps. The jacks are really weirdly used, it's offsenc as hell (holiday colored notes anyone?) and it's mostly just badly stepped. Would redo in a heartbeat.

Endless Dream - 100% generic. I made this to be in the stly of Rebirth and I think the results shows I was sucessful: nobody plays it.

Calm (Short 'n' Slow Mix) - Very chill. Steps are okay, I actually managed to get them completely offsync, too.

July - This file waited almost half a year to get into the game (I stepped it like the day after I stepped {Rose}) It's a good file, really fun and has interesting indexable pitch relevancy.

Party 4 U v3 - The only v3 on the site, that's cool I guess. File is good.

Prison Break - What was I thinking? Terrible steps and not too good of a song choice either.

lolharp5000 - It's not stepped perfectly (I had a lot of trouble syncing because when I lowered the music rate it just became a jumble of noise) but I like it. The jack to trill to roll is very cool.

Otaku Speedvibe [Heavy] - Watered down and lame. Okay steps I guess but really not all that great.

Otaku Speedvibe [Oni] - Much better. Has some good fast stream and very fun rolls. I'm annoyed so few people get to play it.

Incognito v2 - Honestly why is v1 even in the game? Then again this file isn't all that much better, just much easier. Not too proud of this one.

Sail AwaY - Generic. I wish I could have stepped those jacks in the chorus, mwahaha!

Trisection - Lame. Needs a v2 with 150bpm jumpjacks and 24th jumpstream a la Yesssss.

Kyuin - Honestly I have no idea what possessed me to make this. Trust me when I say it was a painful to step as it is to play. The steps are actually very good and quite fun if you turn off the speakers, but man the song choice...

Hatten Carnival! v2 - Fun-ish. I was dissapointed with the utterly random patterns in v1, and at least this corrects that issue well.

Melonman's OP - I put zero effort into this and it shows. Someone else's file should have beaten mine out, I really don't know why mine was chosen. It doesn't deserve it.

Midnight Dragon - Semi copied from Patashu's file, but it's all good because I had to FFRize it and that's basically like making a new file. I find this to be very fun and one of my better files. There's a few patterns I'd change and a few BS colored notes in the piano runs that don't belong, but hey.

Infernoplex - Another 16ths at 180bpm file. Very well stepped and fun, but a tad too generic to be anything noteworthy.

Ice Candy Pop - Pitch relevancy over a lame song choice. I like the song itself, but it really didn't need to be stepped.

Ninja Turtles Theme - Uhhh w/e.

Dragon's Bane - Purely technical stepping makes the difficulty fluctuate a lot within the file, but it's good. I find it fun, especially the climax :)

Legendary Etude - More climax theory at work. The beginning is boring, and I'm unhappy with the way the 48ths fit in with the 16th triplet patterns at the end. But all in all this is one of my better files, which is odd because I really didn't put any thought into it when I was making it.

Reality - Best Reality file out there? Getting the jumps to go with the "vocals" was a bit of a crapshoot but it felt right. The 16ths couldn't flow better. Perhaps the only thing this suffers from is being too easy!

M.A.M.A. - An invigorating idea spices up what ranks among my worst song choices. Just fun for the novelty factor, plus trying out totally different key setups just for this song.

Metal Gear Solid Piano Remix - Something for the kiddies. Pitch relevant, too, I guess.

That is Fair - The song had a ton of potnetial for nifty jacks and cool rolls to all the electronic sounds. I remember my v1 was awesome but deemed too jacky for old FFR (curse you avemisses). I really wish I could redo this.

Video out A - Another vospi song, but I'm more proud of these steps. A bit overdone and sloopy in a few places but overall it's fun and it fits. I really like the song.

Silence v2 - Far better than Arch's v1. A pity that so few find the token.

Jurs OP - I've been accused of stealing this file from Blurk a lot. Much like Hardcore of the North, I really did sit down with a blank slate and step if from scratch myself, but it just turned out similar. Sorry Blurk :x That said, it's a cool file.

That Tethnic Vibe - SUCH a good song that I felt I had to step it, but there wasn't much potential unfortunately. The 32nds seem a bit BS in retrospect, but I feel no regrets because FFR does need more of this type of music.

Brightone - Released specially for my birthday, at the time I was really proud of this one. It's not all that good but it flows really well which is why I was so excited by it at the time. In hindsight there's some BS arrows and some missed potential, but hey it's very fun so that's okay.

HELLBEAT v2 - Better than v1. Took a while to get some of the rhythms in the drums right, a lot of thanks goes to Kit- for helping me!

Roller Coaster Ride - At the time the trend was everyone fawning over stupid 16th stream files so I thought I'd make one too. It got released as a token and now nobody plays it, the end.

My When Clones I Am Out Many - Okay what the hell was I thinking..?

Dazzling Soul - At the time I knew this was my best file. I had asked Kit- to help me a lot with it, then she discovered Dazzling Destiny and started stepping it. We got into a freindly competition of sorts as to whose was better and she won hands down (in retrospect, I can see why, her's is really good!) This song just doesn't have as much potential and I did a pretty bad job with the jumpstreams. A lot of people didn't like it, especially in the face of Dazzling Destiny. Would I redo it? Probably, if I were allowed to. That said, it's by no means bad compared to some of the rest of the stuff on FFR.

Idol (Aniko is Pojinju Mix) - rofl 32nd rolls and Japanese lyrics. This was just practice for making mass-produced Rebirth-style sims to annoying Japanese songs, a form which I would perfect with my later masterpeice Kyuin.

EternuS - SUCH. A. GOOD. SONG. The steps are lame, but hey, there's not much else you can do with it. The steps are mostly an excuse to listen to the AMAZING SONG over and over and over...

Comments are welcome.

So maybe this is a little egocentric but I'd like to get down my own thoughts on the way I think of my files, some of them being more than two years old.


{Rose} - My first FFR file (and really my first publically ready file, to be honest). I had no idea what I was doing, maybe I got lucky? This one seems to polarize people, they love it or they hate it. Me, I'm really proud of it.

World of Dreams - I liked the song so I stepped it. It's unfortunately rather boring, but I've heard of it being used as practice for doubles. I don't regret it being in FFR but it's not a favorite.

Science Genius Girl - The opening wait annoys me to no end and the song is kinda weird. It's one I have no idea why I stepped it and I'm not too proud of it really.

Hardcore of the North - It's cool that it's the one token that most people actually bother to get, but its resemblance to the ITG chart is sorta embarassing. I really did start with a blank slate and step it myself, but it seems that there's really only one way to step this song, lol

Tsugaru 180 New Version - One of my favorite songs and favorite files. It's a pad file at heart, so indexers and pad players get the most kick out of it. I really like it.

Anubis - For a while this was the only file on FFR to actually have hittable jacks. I'm very happy with most of this file. The one part that goes from pitch relevant melody and degenerates into a 16th stream with jacks and 32nds in it is just not cool. I wish I could redo that part.

Improvisation et Chien - Hilariously offsync but a cool song and one of the only songs of its type on FFR. I like it for its uniqueness, but from a file-making perspective it's pretty poor.

Let Me Be Your Pirate - Awesome song, decent steps for what the song offered me. It's not the best, but no regrets really.
