Re: Jumpstream on Pad
I think it's also worth putting out an additional disambiguation between what charts like what I'm working on are doing (which utilize jumps in this way) against the idea of jumpstreaming: despite the chart visually appearing to utilize heavy amounts of jumps, the motion in concept literally has no jumps whatsoever, it's just to add an additional layer of precision by forcing hits along diagonals between panels. And I'm certainly far from the only person to do this -- even lower level (relatively speaking) charts have started to utilize corner jumps with the intent of them being hit with a single foot.
When I went to Champions of the Coast a few weeks ago, I sightread Sudzi's Pitagora's Kiss (SX11), and it utilized jumps with the intent of being done along the brackets. It's becoming more and more common place because pad stepartists are looking for ways to be creative, and unfortunately... with only 4 panels, you can only go so far.
It looks aesthetically strange from a pad-play perspective to have something like above when there's no intent on doing jumps at all. That's one of the reasons why I, among many other pad-oriented content creators, are very excited about Rhythm Horizon. Hell, I had a bit of fun just working on Technomotion-styled charts for pad a couple of years ago and wished there was more that I could do to actually span away from just ITG, heh.
