Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Oh my... my file made it...

:')

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

OMFG, OMFG, LOLWUT, OMFG.

Xkur:
Psychoangel691 [+]: Well you already know this is my fave file from you. There's really not much to point out the only thing I see to mention is the jump at the end of the burst in m72 forces a mini-jack but it's completely doable so no big deal there.
dore [++]: fun as hell, like the red note thingies a lot
Who_Cares973 [+]: im sure this song has an actual song title rofl try getting it. file was fun and those speedups were a nice touch
Bmah [+]: Whoa, crazy speedups! How did you figure these out?
- Some ghost 16ths in areas like the second half of m2,8, should be avoided; just focus on the main melody.
- Technical stuff: probably misplaced jump at beat 35.25,258.25; 16ths, not 24ths at the end of m17; 32nds, not 24ths, at the end of m25; sound at beat 165 lags a bit; probably don't need 16th at beat 185.25; missed 8th at beat 188.50; missed 16th at beat 218.25; missed some arrows at last measure; also don't need jump at the very end
- suggestion: Just little minor things. Unique file. Love those speed-ups!

... dies happy

:'''''''''')

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

No, jimerax determines that (maybe it'll be the same, who knows). Due to the differing opinions of judges, the cutoff line changes. Some batches might be more lenient/stricter than others.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

This ^ I was surprised Obscene got in :O

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

dude... +1 for the ++, +2 18/20, +1 20/20, and +10 for getting a file in the queue!

BEAST

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

congrats man

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

awesome job bro ;)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Congrats <3 I wasn't kidding when I had said "psychoangel691 said: you're gonna be one hell of a stepartist." like you have in your sig there. You already have such a strong grasp on things and you're only gonna get better. Can't wait to see more from you.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

on another note

bmah, you cockblocked my 20/20 </3

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

eek, think my resubmitted file barely got through. Thanks for mah ? kommi. =]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I must say, there were a lot of varying opinions in this batch, and for varying reasons. I don't think simply tallying up points is going to do it this time.

@Halo: :)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

:evil:

On another note though, I'm really happy that it got 19/20; that boosts my simfile points up two, which means I can send 4 files now. :)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I got a ++ and a ? on my resubmission. XD My file was good and bad at the same time.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Hey, last batch I got a + and - on the same file. TWICE. You guys got nothing on me :]

This makes me feel a lot better.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

so baq stepped that file then. That explains the patterns.

Yeah I'm submitting a v2. We need another ridiculously hard skill token


and rebound: for the third time, the version I linked on youtube is NOT the one I stepped. I stepped the same one. I just happened to see that other version and thought it was funny

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Excellent.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I'm feeling accomplished. My dream came true tonight. Can't wait for the summer to come so that people will be able to try it out!

EDIT: This is my 69th post, and it is filled to the brim with over-exposed joy... I see what I did there.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Congrats Phoenix! You deserve it!

And I lied, I actually have 16. I'm still happy even though it didn't really get accepted xD

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Requesting to put old Batch review thread, even v2, links in OP.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Do 3 +. = accept? (they should iirc)

I might fix up Altair, maybe not. (got pretty shitty reviews :/)

Also, good to see A Quick Death will be finally accepted. About time.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

jx needs to determine the cutoff still (and therefore point reqs) - as I said, there were ridiculous variances in opinions in this batch.

Just give some time.

So three +. depends. If the forth score was [+?] or lower, jx would have to determine the overall validity of the difference. That person may have had a good reason for that grade, or he might've just said it was "boring", which is nondescript and often not a valid statement on its own.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I got + +. +? +? so I'm thinking that's 14 points?

And I really question the sync on my song because for me it's perfect and for rare others it isn't. So I never know what to do with that.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

+/+./+?/+?
5 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 15 points :)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Gene Gadget's in.

Lemme guess, I don't get Simfile Author's credit for a collab. X.X

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

correct

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

SUP <3 I'm sitting here like "dammit I dunno whether to count that + as 4 or 5" so I undercut myself :] thanks thar kjw :3

That one little point gave me that much more joy XD

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

By the way, something I feel like I should point out:

Are [++] rated files going to still receive that +1 bonus if they don't get accepted?

EDIT:
Oh, one more thing: because I don't have the two seconds of silence in my file, does that mean that I have to resubmit it in the following batch? Or can I add the two seconds and then just hand it to JX/bmah -- the only changes I made in the file were changing the 5 note bursts of drums to three notes/two notes (respectively), and of course the addition of 2 seconds of silence.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

lots of varied opinions

++ +? +? +. and + +? +? + for my two files lol

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

So for me it's 5 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 16...

Is the cutoff...17? ASOIDUGASVPFIUGVASF
My file tends to have issues with personal preference.
I find that +. is used VERY rarely. Most judges just tend to throw out +? instead.
I'm not complaining though.

Oh, btw, most of my day was shitty.

But:

Arch0wl:

Phalanx (FFR cut) [+]

I liked the descending jackhammer / 48th-note motifs you used here. For sure, I'm going to remember your file because of that. It didn't feel like a generic spread file, which is great.


This seriously made my day. <3

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

CS, you'll likely be accepted since the cutoff is 16/17 depending on your notes. Plus, they're discussing the point system being too subjective this time around so you may get an accept.

And nice comment there :] hope it gets in so I can play it.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

When I wake up tomorrow, I'll submit my files.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

lol [ + / +? / ? / - ]


I really thought I was going to get grilled for my JS patterns not the intro section . . .

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Same with mine. Quitting the arrows, bye FFR.















Haha lol jk, actually I kinda had the feeling my file would get rejected and mostly for one of the things almost all the notes had a similarity at: "Technical Errors" lol. But, like I said before, this motivates me even more to keep stepping and hopefully I'll get this chart in by next batch.:-D

drtrantastic (9:22:01 PM): +. the 32nd burst is a bit much and you couldve used some jumps in the first half of the file


My 20/20s and 19/20s are really awesome, thanks! <3
I'll send any necessary fixes and stuff~

And I'm just woooondering a little bit though about like...
For Above, from Gundam-Dude:
So if there are no real complaints, I was wondering what the unreal one was... So close to another 20/20 here.

And for {Lazy Summer Days}, from Kayla:
I know it's just two more Simfiler points in contest here, and that ain't a big deal, but I reeally want to ask.


And of course, if anyone wants to ask me about my judging, I got the links in my signature... (or ask on AIM.)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

connect is suppose to be an easy file :dwi:

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Alright. I did fix up a few minor things on my file. For example, a missed jump and removed the jumps for a couple grace notes. I didn't agree with some things changes, since it makes the file a lot less fun and unique, so I kept a few things the same. It may not look 100% accurate but it FEELS accurate. The chart is meant for playing anyway ;)
So, if my file does get in, let me know so I can send the newer version :)

(bye the way, Silvuh. It was hard to understand what you meant by all the b___. I figureed it out but then it wasn't accurate in my sm editor)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I can't find i love you's notes on my resubmit :(.
According to his judgecount here it should be a + though, which gives me 17/20 and a first file in the queue :D.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Oh sorry, forgot to send the notes to that file.

Bmah, would it be okay if i just copy/paste his notes here?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

sure

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

[Resubmission] Mysterious Desert [+]
• This file was rather enjoyable. Glad you fixed those errors.
• Very nice PR usage. Some of the patterns were kinda off but wasn't that bad.
+ Offset should be 1.575

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Mind = blown

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Wow...

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Oh, that means I get the musician title soon. :D Btw I apologize for the song EQing, I made it back when I didn't know a thing about it.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Oops, sorry. I got my beat values from ddreamstudio and assumed that it would always be one off the SM beat value, which is the usual. (I wrote the beat values for SM because I thought more people use that.)

I looked again and in Phalanx, for some reason SM starts at 12 and ddream starts at 8. So add five to all the beat values I gave and that should work.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

kommi...what was that bro? xD

EDIT: REJECTIONMANIAS

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Also, just a suggestion to throw out there:

After the notes are posted up, how about giving a week for all resubmissions? That way since the notes are up, the steppers can make changes and then submit during the week - if they don't resubmit, that's unfortunate and they will have to wait until next batch. This could be a good way of reducing clutter since resubmissions seem to be mixing in with regular submissions a bit too often - and this method is more organized.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I resent a different version of Colibri before the batch closed and it didn't get judged, because a lot of people complained about the jumpjacks which I had gotten rid of. Can it be resent and rejudged, or do I have to wait until the next batch?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

probably the latter, sorry

Arch, not gonna make this file another Energizer with nonexistant notes heh

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Nice accept thar ;]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Thanks, it's mah first.
Look out FFR! New stepartist :twisted:

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

:)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Famicom Selecta: I already judged this
Mysterious Desert: see above :)
Gotta Catch 'em All: yes with small fixes (some guitar not stepped accurately, mostly in 1st half of song; also, if you could somehow deviate from jumpstream and introduce it later via climax theory, that'd be nice too, but I don't mind it as is)
Scavenger: no (PR is terribad - and this is a piano file too, so PR stands out a whole lot more)
Metro: This one's hard to say. This song caters to people who are able to enjoy files of this difficulty, yet it's a legit stepchart. It's like I want to say yes w/fix and no at the same time. I won't give an official opinion on this one.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I know either dore or bmah said this before, but I think that the conditional queue grading number should be a little more lenient. One reason is there are only 4 songs to say yes/no to, and to be honest, what's a couple more songs going to do? Okay, they can get no's, it's not like it would be forcing the judges to say yes on the ones that got 15's. Also, as dore/bmah [I know it was one of you with a 4 letter name] said, subjectivity seemed to be pretty eminent in this review session and it wouldn't be fair to those that got 15's because of preference.

No, I'm not only saying this because my file got a 15. I had been thinking about it for a while, ever since [dore/bmah] had mentioned it before. And then I thought I had only a 14.

I just think this thought got ignored and should be considered.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

(I said that)

And you're probably right, since I doubt jx actually went over any specific song within only a few hours. The foremost important thing right now is to get an initial tallying of files that should definitely be accepted, so that's what jx was doing.

I think if you want an appeal, now's the time to ask.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

This should definitely be considered - fishy ratings should also be looked into.

Personal preference can really screw over a file's rating. I've seen this happen way too many times (and no it's not just because of my Metro file although it is pretty funny that one rating screwed it over from a 17 haha). Some borderline files don't even have legit suggestions - I looked at a few from other files in this batch and was a bit disappointed.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

How exactly would you go about an appeal? Because I considered saying something to the judges who gave me 3's and see if what I would say would change their grades.

And yea, I agree that the main focus should be to get the definite ones fully accounted for and then we can see what happens from there.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I posted this before when I was making some rules on resubmissions, but jx has yet to emphasize this part. Generally, this is how it goes:

1) Resubmissions should be labelled in the song folder.
2) If you have an issue with judging on a resubmit, you must let us know.
3) We will not consider complaints on judging with the point equivalent BELOW +.,+.,+?,+?
4) We will not look at any file if you do not let us know you have an issue.

So basically, you can appeal if a file is 14/20 or higher. However, two grades must be at least [+.]. That's the only catch.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

ok then it's an accept.

fixed.

[Borderline Files] (4)
Famicom Selecta (D) - 12+N (4/4/4/N)
Gotta Catch 'em All (SKG_Scintill) - 16 (5/4/2/5)
Scavenger (Plan_Bsk81127) - 16+ (4/5/2/5+)
Metro (DossarLX ODI) - 16 (5/5/1/5)

For Judges: Let's vote for borderline files (Yes/Yes with fix/No).

ps should we expand the borderline zone?
we already have decent percentage of accepted files.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Doesn't sound too bad. [Sorry I'm asking so many questions] With the appeal, who will be looking at the file? And am I allowed to say reasons for why I stepped it the way I did for a better understanding?

And jx, it's mainly because of subjectivity. Plan got a [++] on his file but also got a [?] on Scavenger. Granted, I have not read the notes on the file, but it seems like there are some extremes in that. Also with Dossar's 3 [+]'s and 1 [-]. Maybe the notes should be read more in depth in choosing what could be considered conditional.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

appeal for (you guessed it) White Walls!:

for the first part, not a bad suggestion. for the second, I mainly want the two hands to be disjointed, because the snare drum is almost like a background metronome for the impact points of the rest of the band, so I was going for left hand=guitars/bass/bass drum and right hand = snare drum. but I could also switch left and up or something to make it less one-handed.

fair points all around, there's hard enough stuff throughout that I figure the difficult patterns aren't too much, especially since it would break consistency with some other places where it's slower and more manageable to play, but I usually don't like to base my patterns around what's considered to be comfortable :D

ty :)

I kinda feel like since the file will have to be broken up anyway, it's not going to be unmanageable to play for score (at least no more than all the other long files in ffr). but I really don't think "the game might lag" is a good reason to reject a file. yeah it may be tough to hold a combo, so what? if your computer sucks (like mine) and you want to get a good score, get a better computer. if you break your combo in one particular spot, get better at that kind of pattern. I just don't see why people having difficulty comboing a song is a legitimate means for rejection, especially since "If this had been shorter (I know, I know) I would have given it a [+.]", which would have gotten it into the accept range.

TLDR version:
Why I feel I should have gotten 17 points: I lost three points for the file being long.
Why I feel that is not legitimate: I am going to have to break up the file anyway, which it will still be long, but more manageable to play for score, which was a large reason for losing points.

For my other two files, I didn't really expect either of them to go through cuz they're kinda weird, but I'm glad half the judges enjoyed them at least :D

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

I seem to be getting a pattern of song choice complaints (above are from 3 different submissions). Probably just bad luck, but it is getting pretty annoying at this point. If anyone's wondering I didn't cut any of them myself, and the "not really worth the v2" was a song with clear 180bpm stream that had a difficulty 4 ingame. Subjectivemanias ?_? Not saying all these songs should have made it in and didn't because of the song, just pointing out some weirdness.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

5/5/5/1 could be in accepted zone, I'll look at it anyway.
And borderline files aren't conditional queue'd, they are moved into second vote system.

[Grades of potential borderline zone]

(A)
16 (5/5/4/2)
16 (5/4/4/3)

(B)
16 (5/5/3/3)
15 (5/5/4/1)
15 (5/4/4/2)

(C)
15 (4/4/4/3)
14 (5/4/4/1)

(D)
14 (4/4/4/2)
14 (5/4/3/2)
14 (4/4/3/3)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

O.O Is this something completely new, jx? I've never heard of this one before.
4/4/3/3 would be what I was describing earlier as the minimum for an appeal (14/20).

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

ok fixed.

Grade C-D will hardly be considered, compared to files in higher grades though.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

Not sure what my 5/4/3/3 would be considered as XD looks to be potentially a B.

Writing up my appeal now though based off of dore's. Will probably finish in the morning so I can actually look/listen and see some of the points that were made.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
 

In that case, I'll just mention why Metro is a bit fishy:

Original note fixes




Resubmission:

After seeing the -, I relooked at this post:

Not sure if there was a certain misunderstanding with the resubmission but this doesn't look right. Judges said the patterns were fine, then "bad patterns" came up again. It's contradictory and doesn't make sense.
