Flash Flash Revolution - Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

in case you didnt notice spitfire, judges apparently don't like hands and heavy layering

better add more random difficulty spike and awkward pattern files into the game instead

why are triples called hands if you press all the buttons with your hands anyway

Tequila (Anaru)

Code:

who_cares973 : (8/10) 

- offset is wrong the notes are early. 34.960 this pattern blows maybe change it to 4[34]4[34] 



samurai7694: (5/10)

- 34.918s, that's a really awkward anchor pattern

- layering is all over the place, didnt really like the second half of the file



kommisar: (8/10)

- Ah man this is too short. Awesome file, sweet accentuation (bedtime story theory ahoy).



kjwkjw: (4/10)

- Two of your own songs for this batch? o.o

- m. 18 - I can see what you did with the layering here, but it'd be better if you emphasized the percussion instead (changing beat 70.75 to a single note, and the next 4 notes [14] jumps).

- Towards the end the chart started getting somewhat repetitive.

- m. 42 - ending this with a quad feels pretty weird.



megamon888: [7/10]

- b30 and 30.5 should be single notes

- b46, b62, b78, b90, b94, 102 should be a jump

- one-handed jumpjack anchors in m17 are a no-no, change it

- missing notes at b107, 135, 163

- good file, feels very-jump heavy though

So I'm sure there has to be more reasons for the file to be dropped to 4/5s besides a really awkward anchor pattern (I'll admit - the pattern is stupid and all the judges note it) and too many jumps..
First off the song isn't fast at all (122 BPM) and 16ths jacks at 122 BPM don't sound too hard.. :( I don't know what happened but I want to know!

Luis says my layering is all over the place, but kommisar says there's "sweet accentuation" (wtf? contradictions everywhere) etc..
I still don't see why I got a 4 from kjw though :/ Yeah it's repetitive but the song's not even 1:30 long.

Whatever, the judges know better I'm sure. Thanks for the reviews (I wish they were more detailed though!)

obviously I'm fixing what was mentioned (to judges, the original sm file had mines during the blank part that said "LETS HAVE SEX OK")
blank part I'm stepping the strings, that little easy part I'm keeping as-is (in terms of layering (or lack of))

actually I'm not fixing the blank part because I literally cannot bring myself to put anything there (tried stepping the strings, felt really awkward)

other than that, everything should be fixed. sending fixes whenever I'm able to

I honestly got a chuckle out of this because I think I just argued this in the blaze chat like an hour or two ago.

And YES. Oh my god **** yes.

I know I've always come off as a hater to you Spitfire, but this is absolutely one of my biggest annoyances with charts as of late (not that I vocalize what I dislike about charts usually.)

And I guess in the interest of being more helpful than snickering in the background and being angry at you...

Wilson when you said "Seems a little overstepped. The quads and hands are really unnecessary in my honest opinion. It’s a great tricky file though, so well done! 6/10"

I will admit this actually pissed me off. I find it absurd that you say it's well done but then pretty much bomb me harshly for what seems like a disagreement in hand/quad usage and it coming off as "slightly overstepped." Also for the record: There's not a single quad in this chart, your neglectful phrasing makes me want assume you didn't look very hard, which with such a large batch I understand, and I do thank you for taking the time to review it don't get me wrong, but it just is frustrating to see such an outrageous mistake. I'd realllllllllllllly like to see you do some actual notes rather than actually just typing an opinion and a score to be honest with you.

I apologize if this comes off as rude and outrageously out of place, but this is just something I would like you to be aware of.

Honestly, me too. They're what I expected.

Not what I wanted, but definitely what I expected.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submission Closed)

I am very happy with my low grades, was running out of time with the batch filling up fast (60hr batch LOL), with 3 out of 4 of my upcoming epics not worth rushing, I touched up sections on this purely so I could use it as a re-sub next batch so it doesn't cut into my submission cap ;D

^this is exactly what I wanted to hear guys, that section was blank when jimi closed the batch, but then he extended it by an hour or two, so I busted in this as placeholder notes for a re-sub ;D

Pretty stoked to see some of the reviews on specific files that we shall be hopefully seeing in-game very soon, good job all-round guys!

Thanks for the reviews. I was actually gonna lol if Chipscape got accepted for a few reasons but it didn't.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submission Closed)

Wow that's ironic. The file that I threw together in an hour on submission day did the best and the file that I was expecting to have a running shot at getting in just tanked

so anyway

Intensive 1 (lol) 2 3 5 5

wow that 192nd jack

Orange Juice 2 3 6 6 6

haha that's some strong grading diversity...2 and 6

Tomorrow Untrodden 4 5 6 7 7

Nice notes, one thing:

It's actually just the dominant keyboard?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submission Closed)

404th: 8 / 8 / 7

Louder: 8 / 3 / 5 / 2

Pokàmen: 8 / 8 / 8 / 9

I love the 8 and 2 on the same file.

404th did better than I expected. I guess my pattern choice was better this time around.

Can't say I didn't expect that rating I got for louder though. The ending was pretty brutal in terms of patterns and layering.

Pokàmen was a nice surprise. I'm glad people found it as fun as they did.

Also, I need someone to judge the last two since I passed them for being my own files.

In the Iron Stepman battle over Rainbow Tylenol, I'd QQ if neither of them got through.
I'm sitting with 7/7/5/7 with that one.. e_e hopefully the score readjustments will do something beneficial for me ;_;

Oh, and my refined Neopandemic file got an even worse score than last time. cool. 7/5/4/7/7

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submission Closed)

6 / 5 / 8 on my first file, I hope to improve on this next time (Hmm, maybe I could find a less repetitive song to step)

Edit:// I incorporated some of Bmah's suggestions, can I send the updated file?
