Default Re: A real guide on how to make a good simfile

The easiest way to cater to all styles is to make multiple charts. This way, you don't have to water down a spread chart or buff the difficulty of an index chart to satisfy everyone.

I usually make an indexable heavy and a spread oni chart. It's hard to make ONE chart that'll satisfy everyone because most spread players these days like steps that follow the music very closely and have some semblance of difficulty to them. It also allows the sim author to take liberties with their steps rather than have to be conservative to satisfy the indexers.

EDIT: Also, I played index for three years before switching to spread, so I know how annoying spread files are for index. Just thought you'd like to know. :P
