Its got its faults but I think its quite good nonetheless. I got bored of sorting out the offbeats - which is terribly obvious, but Id like to know what you lot think. dont be too harsh!

FYI the song: I just ripped the audio straight from the PS2 game. Its about 6 different parts basiclly stuck together. As there is no roylites attached to it I thought about submitting it for FFR, whaddya think?

i voted based on just the song... im at school and i cant play SM here... i like the song but.... the begining starts off a little too slow for my likeing... 50+ seconds just for an intro into a breakout.... i'll come back later today with an actual review of the arrows....

Well done I'd say, for a first song - a few offbeats like you said, but most of it was on, was a good first song to the day, now for more finger-killing ones..

I'm sorry, but I'm going to be completely honest.


The steps were off. They were going to nothing.

The bpm was off.

The whole song was off.

I give it a 2/10 for effort. :?

I still take that as high praise from the Arch...

1) be sure to find the right bpm! If you can't find the right bpm or sync your song right then you shouldn't be making your song

2) Use the stepmania CVS editor, along with tick, they are your friends. Go to sourcefourge.net and type in stepmania and dl the newest one.

3) Be sure to go over your dwi A WHOLE LOT and I mean a WHOLE DAMN LOT by the end of it - don't rush it unless it's just a joke

Yea mega....sorry, it's just......not cutting it. But don't worry, keep trying, but get the real bpm and take your time making sure everything sync's. You should of seen my First DWI's I made one called Holic Other, and I didnt know anything about stepfiles, and i desperately needed really hard dwi's. So it was like 350 bpm and had ton's of gallop's doubles streaming pivet's. ETC, it was insanely retarded.
