Nice, a P*Light song, definitely playing that sometime.

ah man I didn't know we had permission from lindsey stirling

sick

HEY-YO CAPTAIN JACK

brb playing

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Did anyone else have troubles recording the scores for these songs?

I can't wait till the token works. I'll definitely give it a try to unlock (if my scores want to record). Of the songs I played Poppin' Shower was my favourite. I didn't even know we had permission for P*Light. I'll be hoping to see more of their music in the game in the future. The problem with Captain Jack (even though it's a temporary file) it won't play in the veteran beta engines and I had to play it in the regular velocity engine. The other songs I felt had nothing special to them and were ok. I found cheerful forest a little hard for a 71 and Poppin' Shower a little easy for a 69.

cheerful forest

Ooooh, I like this file. Too bad I was playing it so early in the morning. I got quite frustrated with this song, haha. It's fun chart, I love the 24th bursty notes as well as the jump haven part. Overall, pretty nifty chart ya got here, Mr. Bmaaaaaaaaaaah.

Countdown

+1 for another piano piece, love them.

+1 for a constant BPM, most of the time they're not. Nice find!

-1 however for putting in those grace notes. I mean, they fit and all, but for a relaxed chart like this, I don't know if that sudden spike should even be there, regardless if it makes sense or not, haha.

Endless Tewi-ma Park

Oh my god, the voices! They burn my head! OH MY GEEEEWD!

But no, this chart is really quite the fun one despite the vocals being very... erm... unique so to speak. The entire chart flows very well and I like how we're tapping to these vocals in fun successions.

Nice first chart in the game, Zak!

Poppin' Shower [Veteran]

I don't even know what the heck was going on in this song, lol.

I liked the rolls, but because it was so early in the morning that I played it, I got frustrated with this song the most. Simply because I felt like I couldn't play the chart right no matter how many retries I did.

It's a fun chart though despite my inability to play it right. It looks fun at least.

Walking on Water

Can I say this is the first time a rock song had a "swing" pattern to it? That's exactly what this chart did and I love it for it.

The song itself is not my cup of orange soda mixed with koolaid, but I digress.

Nice chart all around!

CAPTAIN JACK (GRANDALE REMIX)

Saying something about this because I never played it before, lol.

I don't know how old this file is, but if it's old, it's pretty good old file. I really liked how the patterns flowed. The only thing I didn't like was the background dammit!

Rest in Peace, Captain Jack!

cheerful forest seems off-sync for the first half. had to play with sound off. seems on-sync at the end. don't know if it's me or the song.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Endless Tewi-ma Park? Shut up and take my money.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Cheerful Forest is so great <3

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Pretty cool files this week.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

too soon, man

...too soon :'(

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Yeah, the token works now.

Endless:

Easily one of the best "first charts" I've ever seen. I rate this even above my own. This chart is simple fun. This is the kinda stuff we need back in the game. Even if the song choice isn't something you like. Fantastic first chart in game Zak.

Cheerful Forest:

First half: Yay.
Second half: Bmah chart.

Countdown:

Teach me great one.

Poppin' Shower:

Didn't enjoy this at all really. Song choice is awesome though I give you that.

Walking On Water:

Musical preference aside, chart's not bad.

Shadows:

First off, making me refc a 3 minute song is ass. Jerks.

Also the chart's not really interesting. That weird ass like 4 14 1 14 or whatever it is, is stupid pattern wise.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

captain jack was the best chart ive played in months rofl

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

ah captain jack, still cant believe its been 7 years since he died. Grandale remix and In The Navy were 2 of my favorite songs to play on pad

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Overall, I enjoyed the releases this week. I did get a bit sleepy (speaking literally, because I was exhausted when I played these files) with Countdown and Walking with Water, but the files themselves are well done.

Favorites of the week are the two hardest files - Poppin' Shower and cheerful forest are both files I can see myself playing leisurely. Nice work to both of you guys.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

finally got a FC on Electric Daisy Violin and played Shadows. Fcd it 1st try and thoroughly enjoyed it except the weird 14 1 14 4 part mentioned before and the mini jacks that were thrown in there briefly. Lindsey Stirling is an amazing artist imo and ive been listening to her music for a good while now. we need more of her music on here

Endless: I actually enjoy this, both the chart and the song though (except the middle part, the screechy lyrics give me a headache xD) Very nice first chart is game Zak, it was simple and fun, it made me smile while I was playing it :3 I look forward to more of your charts. :)

Poppin' Shower: I liked it. Flows nicely for the most part. Will play again :)

Cheerful Forest: I don't like this one...felt over-layered in some parts. Most of the bias is from me being bad at this song though.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

cheerful forest (bmah) - This file is just tricky for me. I like the challenge presented in it. Good chart overall. 7/10

Endless Tewi-ma Park (Zakvvv666) - Ah, a touhou song. I'll try to be as unbiased as I can on this. I like the little jumpstream action going on in it. I had to put down my volume as the high pitched voice of the singer is a bit too much. A well done chart. Congrats on the step author title. 8.5/10

Poppin' Shower (MrPopadopalis25) - I like this one. The chart seems to fit the music very well. I like the speed and flow of it. Nicely done. 8/10 (This week's personal favorite)

Walking on Water (Silvuh) - I like me some 12ths and 24ths in a chart. Makes chart flow very well for me. Straight forward. Nice job. 7/10

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

do I sense some

bootlicking

i've been playing skyrim recently rofl don't h8

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Kinda hard to explain like, it's not a "bad" chart, but I just don't enjoy playing it myself. In short it's just not my cup of tea.

I bootlick for no one

everyone licks my boots.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

>don't like the files of people you don't like
>love the files of people you do like


oh, okay

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

I like Bmah

and some of his charts drive me mad (Gair / Anti Aeris)

Halogen

Most of his DF engine charts are awesome

But I ****ing hate Beware The Purple Water

That's just not how it works.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 21, 2012)
 

Endless Tewi-ma Park is a pretty unbearable song to me (I'm sorry but after like 500 of them in FFR already I'm a bit sick of high-pitched loli voice wap music, but that's just personal preference)
That said I will agree with the assessment that it's a very solid first file. A few patterns could have been better, there was one part with lots of "hidden 1-hand gallop" -for lack of a better term- which is something you learn to avoid in JS. Was layered simply but appropriately and the decision to not put the minijacks at the end was a good one lol

Overall, file was quite fun... on mute.
