Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Small heads up that Qrrbrbirbel's 'Hiccup FFR' is a folder name error.

'Hiccup' by Knasibas is the true name.

Thanks gs :)

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Has there been a judge set to this one? I can take care of it if needed

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

This one was still waiting for a judge, Aj was about to pick it up as a 2nd since we had no one else on it.

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Set has been picked up by bmah

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

After some more discussion, it looks like Rebirth is working on Set 4 today and tomorrow. bmah will be a backup if further help is needed.

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Not finishing tomorrow...

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

True, he said working on it. Updated my post as well.

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

I'm mostly done. Special work week this week so my free time is limited.

Edit: at least as for now, I can post what I've done.

Ascension for Owls (Matthia) 7/10
- It almost isn't worth having any notes until 13.59s because the music is so faint. A suggestion would be to leave everything before that out, and start with a single note instead of the jump.
- Missed jump at 22.59s. I know why you left it out but there is still SOME kind of music change and it keeps it consistent with the rest of this section of the file.
- The red notes for two measures at 49.55s should be the same 4 note pattern repeating. The music is exactly the same.
- 121.88s the jacks seem unnecessary. You don't have them anywhere else during the same parts in the music.
- The file is almost there. Just needs some minor tweaks



Dracula Man X2 Alpha Turbo (Psychotik) 8/10 Accepted
- The two beat part starting at 76.91s seems wrong. It's difficult to tell what it should be but I think it needs to be tweaked.
- That's really all I had. File is very fun, HOWEVER, I think you could do more layering and make this file more technical and I think it would be even more fun. There is a potential for a v2 in this down the line that could be a lot harder.


Hiccup (Qrrbrbirbel) (7/10)
- File is great, I have basically nothing
- 126.69s, why isn't this pink note a hand like all the other times you did hands to that sound?
- The section at 50s to 73s lacks hands where you placed them in a similar part of the song at 140s. Why is that? To progressively make the file harder or were they just missed?
- I want to make sure these two things are addressed before I give final say because this file is great and I want it perfect.


Hopeful BlueSky (DarkZtar) 9/10 Accepted
- I basically have nothing. Great file. Reminds me of some DonDon and Dew files from 10 years ago


Hysteria (Oberon47) 4/10
- Missed a chance at some 16ths/32nds at 44.07s
- The section from 64.07 to 76.87s can be done better. The patterns are generic for a part that has a lot of potential to be fun.
- The section at 78s to 88s has mostly hands on the downbeats and some jumps. Either alternate, or keep them all the same, since the sound is the same at each note.
- Some missed 16th opportunities from 89.67s to 99.27s
- Overall I think this file could use some more creativity in patterns during most of the file.


Pictured as Perfect (Pizza69) ?/10
- Shows "Unknown Artist" as song author. We need to actually know who made this song so we know if we have permission to use the song or not. Don't even need to look at the file until then. If you know the song author and it's permission is ok, let me know. I'll take a look at the file and update this.

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Pictured as Perfect is by Frums, whom provided blanket permissions.

It's also submitted to BMSofFighters, which falls under open source audio permissions. BMS page is at http://manbow.nothing.sh/event/event...=336&event=123

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Google doc I sent w the set has all the comments from the submitters and where you can find most of the permission info

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

I'm afraid without a clear example on what's wrong, I'm not too sure what you mean by this. The only inconsistency I see looking the following section over is missing jumps on the hi-hat crashes on 78.666 and 80.166, which is stepped as a jump on 82.666. I guess I can also make it more pitch relevant. If you have further advice, please let me know.

I did think about this while making the chart but felt out of my depth with the layering here so I didn't attempt it. If someone else wants to, be my guest.

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

i can't find the pink note you're talking about, but i did find 3 other hands that i missed lol

and as for the 50-73s lacking hands, the part that starts at 140 has a "hey!" vocal in the background that accents the hands. the beginning one doesnt have it tho.


let me know about the mystery pink note and i'll make the change/explain the note!

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

@Psychotik - I was referring to how it just sounded offbeat, as in the notes might have been placed in the wrong spot. It was hard to tell but it just felt off to me.

@qrrbrbirbel - The note I'm talking about is a 23 jump right before 5 32nds.

Sorry guys, rest to come tonight I hope. I didn't have as much time as everyone else to pump out notes and life is hard.

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

found it! and you were right it was missed.

everything else has been addressed, (i did make some of the ending chunk a bit easier to try and balance out the difficulty a smidge more, but all I did was change patterns up, didn't add or remove anything) so i'll be resending the updated file shortly!

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Was focused on putting jumps whenever that one sound effect played, 22.59s note in particular didn't have that sound, so no jump, however I still put it as a repeated note to make up the music change.

The rest of this file's notes have been fixed

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

Apologies for taking some time on this.

At The Speed Of Light (snaphap) [10/10] Accepted
- Great file. You could use some better patterns during some of the streams but I can tell the music makes sense in your justification. My favorite from this batch



Dracula Man X2 Alpha Turbo (Psychotik) [8/10] Accepted

Pictured as Perfect (Pizza69) [8/10] Accepted
- Technically all correct and it looks good sync-wise. I think it qualifies as a "dump" file of which I don't really like. I'd suggest hold this for a hard file batch or release.


Present World Dance Engine (DourGent & Deamerai) [5/10]
- At 30.47s there are still some mini jack sounds that you missed. Same at 42.78s
- At the section starting at 123.16s you have some patterns that you use twice then mirror them, then go back to the first set, etc. Make them all different. Mirroring once is ok, but don't go back to the same patterns for a multiple measure area for the sake of getting to the next section of the file.
- The file is close, but I think altering some patterns on a lot of the streams during most of the song would help make the file more interesting. You use a lot of the same patterns during a lot of the file, and yeah the music doesn't give much to work with but that's your opportunity to be creative with your own simfile.


Sarcophagus (M0nkeyz) [9.5/10] Accepted
- What justifies having minijacks at 31.52s and 34.95s when you don't have them in the other similar spots in that part of the file?
- Literally everything else with the file is great.


Sibling Rivalry (storn42) [6.5/10]
- There's nothing wrong with the file, really. It's a good easier file, but I can't stand the song itself. That makes me want to say no alone because I like to try to put non painful SONGS into FFR.


Sikertelenseg (Deamerai) [7.5/10] Accepted
- This makes my pervious statement for Sibling Rivalry seem like I'm clinically insane. The song itself is trash but I believe we need more super easy short files in the game. For that reason, I'm overlooking the song.


Tap Tap Tap (ositzxz369) [8/10] Accepted
- You guys are really testing me with 3 painful songs in a row. This is the best file of the 3 bad songs at least. Makes it easier to accept.

Re: Nov/Dec 2019 Set 4
 

My file "Tap Tap Tap" should actually be automatically rejected, since we don't have Drumcorps perms for albums that AREN'T related to the label Cock Rock Disco (currently, we can only step songs from one of his albums "Grist".)
