Special stepfiles

mhss1992 · 03-21-2009, 05:44 PM

I don't know if this should be in the stepfiles thread, it's just a suggestion, but I'll create it anyway.

I think there should be more unique stepfiles like M.A.M.A., which uses only 3 buttons the whole song. Something like a song with just 1 button full of jacks that requires a good rhythmic sense to PA, or songs with different and strange patterns. I know that the possibilities are a bit limited for 4 arrows, but I think it would be interesting to have these in the game.

i kinda agree lol, 4 arrows is getting old.

maybe a song full of jumps replacing single notes and quads/hands replacing jumps.

no single notes lol.

sure itd be hard, but i mean, pretty much every stepfile these days is the same.

but anyway, you'd have to contact stepartists about this sort of thing.

if a song was made that was just a long jack then yes

and a song with all jumps and hands would be cool

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. For me, the backgrounds are distracting, and can make it very difficult for me to see the arrows.

i definitely vote for getting jackhammer madness in the game, and more interesting/different patterns in general.

there's only so much you can do with 3 arrows tbh

combinatronically less than what you can do with 4, it's so constrained

we don't need another MAMA

btw we already have an all jumps song. it is called turkish march and really gay

Backgrounds = yes only if they are able to be turned off. (kinda like sm)

Also no more special stepfiles. MAMA sucked, we don't need another one.

**DayMan951** · 03-21-2009, 07:49 PM

wasn't MAMA just an april fool's joke anyways? we don't need anymore files like that.

**Bluearrowll** · 03-21-2009, 08:11 PM

Let's make a 6 arrow stepfile. :won't happen:

**DossarLX ODI** · 03-21-2009, 08:18 PM

I have a RunnyMorning (SGX MIX) stepfile that's 16th hands/ doubles

I wonder if it will get accepted

**customstuff** · 03-21-2009, 08:33 PM

I don't know why it wouldn't...

**Patashu** · 03-21-2009, 09:09 PM

If you want to do something different you can always double or quadruple the bpm of a file, push it 3/96th of a beat forward and step one instrument with green notes, the other one with cyan.

**jimerax** · 03-21-2009, 11:30 PM

if another 3-arrow file is added now it's not unique at all anymore.

also, this concept only works for joke files (you can still use this in a part of the file like {Rose}).

**Patashu** · 03-21-2009, 11:36 PM

is there a minimalist song out there that uses only pitch?

That's what I said in the beggining.
Maybe we can do that in a song that's basically drums.

OMG... that's me... =P

I see you like my file... =P

**dore** · 03-22-2009, 12:43 PM

There's still plenty of stuff people can do, you just have to be creative. My next file if I ever get the balls to start/finish is going to have some fun experimentation.

Vote4Nixon · 03-23-2009, 07:11 PM

Every time I try to be creative, my files get rejected as fuc

**Patashu** · 03-23-2009, 07:46 PM

creative like made-up rhythms or creative like focusing on an unusual pattern type?
