Difficulty 1-9 Special Batch

[bob bob]

So I just read through the batch notes

Looks like a fairly decent acceptance rate (looks like both my files are conditional, galaxy9 got 28/40, The tunnel got 20/30 and a pass)

[VisD]

5 5 6 7
4 5 6 10

gg

@MN, regarding the ending in HIMYM - imo, since the last note in the roll pattern is definitely the highest (and is of roughly the same pitch as the very last note in the file), I defined it as 4. That's why it's 12314, and not 12341

[bob bob]

Time to go through this thing, look at everyone scores and the like.
Also the scores are in order on the batch review thread, so for example the first score in set 1 is bmah's rating of the file.
Also if your file has a + with its final score it received a 10 from 1 or more judges

Set 1: (Judge order: Bmah, Samurai, MN, Gnr)
A Sloth's Song / PrawnSkunk: 3,7,6,6 (22)
Bodies In The House Next Door / mi40: 5,8,9,7 (29)

I Wanna Rock Your Body ('til the break of Dawn) / rayword45: 5,4,6,8 (23)
Iced Innocence / Reshiram: 8,7,6,7 (28)
Infinity / Elite Ninja: 8,6,8,7 (29)
Insomnia / nois-or-e: 8,7,7,? (22, could not find gnr's review)

My Name is Jankenpopp / 00Razor00: 7,5,[PASS],7 (19)
New Rave / Silvuh: 8,6,7,7 (28)
Nocturne / Silvuh: 6,8,8,7 (29)
Warai / DossarLX ODI: 7,5,7,[PASS] (19)

Most files scored around the 27-29 mark in this half, so if your file scored around this or higher, looks like its gonna be accepted, anything lower and it might not be (or conditional) This also depends on the second half.
Ill do the second half later.

5 9 8 9
8 8 9 9
9 9 8 8 8

sweeeeet

I have to say that Dossar's judgment for Pork and Beans was what I was expecting for the file tbh, the patterns drag one quite a bit.
Actually, I was expecting it for most of my files
My other file I didn't send because of it; it was in the D/VD area, I suck at stepping anything lower than an 8 xD

Anywho, thanks for the amazing notes, you all suck [10/10]

[Reshiram]

Hey dossar. Color shift due to the change in instruments, just sayin'. Intro course in instrument theory

Also, I think I know the exact reason Jesse passed on my file :P

[iironiic]

I'm happy with the ratings Colors received (: Very consistent and the criticisms in bmah's review is logical. I'll fix it shortly! (:

Thanks for the reviews and your time!

[MarioNintendo]

Here are the reviews I got:

DossarLX ODI / Silvuh / Niala / 00Razor00

FF7 - Theme of Aeris - 7 / WHATTHE FOUR / 7 / 7 (damn you, silvuh!)
Redirected Moonlight (FFR Cut) - 7> / 6> / 7> / 8>
ULTRAnumb - 8 / MOTHERFUCCEN TEN / 8 / 8 (thank you, silvuh!)

I guess because there were only four judges the 4 on Aeris will have to be calculated ;_; awwwwww maaaaaan!

[Elite Ninja]

=/

Heard my files were good.... Doesn't look that way though.

Fire: 8, 6, 6, 7
Infinity: 8, 6, 8, 7
Need You: 5, 7, 9, 5 (lul)

[rayword45]

The Hop: 1 3 5 7 (wtf)
I Wanna Rock Your Body: 4 5 6 8

IWRYB did better then I suspected.

The Hop did NOT deserve a 1/10 in my opinion. That is completely ****ing unfair.

Also, are we still dropping highest/lowest ratings here?

[megamon88]

29 for Find a Pet and 30 for Hearth's Warming, not bad :P

[YoshL]

7 6 7 7 (27) - electrolosys - yeah, this was an old file, still a couple mistakes i overlooked, can easily fix
6 () 9 7 (??) - politically correct holiday song - lol i love you anyways silv <3, and thanks jeff hah
8 7 8 8 (31) - pollyanna - easy song is easy

[yo man im awesome]

Carrots / yo man im awesome: 7,5,8,8 (28)

[Hateandhatred]

Collab file got DESTROYED.

Sad, but ok. I wanted people not to deliberately reject because of song choice and Im happy with the fact that only one judge did it, but looking back, yeah. Consistency is balls, minijacks are just no, sync is shit and could be cleaned so it can actually flow despite the assness of the song.

I didn't expect this to get smashed so much, however I obviously didn't have endless hopes about this. Im simply surprised it was that bad lol.

I might resend this with a major rehaul in the future.

Thanks to all, nothing to argue against the reviews. I know better and Ill put it to work.

It would make sense.

[PrawnSkunk]

judges can't handle my lv1 file. too intense for them.

[MarioNintendo]

Holy shit @ Lunar Landing, this must've been really good.

[DarkZtar]

Set 1: (Judge order: Bmah, Samurai, MN, Gnr)
Calling Mars / DarkZtar: 8,7,9,5 (29)
Countdown / DarkZtar: 8,8,8,8 (32)
glaciate / DarkZtar: 8,7,7,8 (30)


Glad to see Countdown and glaciate do well, honestly surprised at how well Calling Mars did(was expecting more reviews like Gnr's tbh). Probably gonna send minor fixes for Mars based on judge reviews.

[MarioNintendo]

Idk if this could work, but I had an idea for a system to calculate if a file passes or not. It's pretty primitive compared to Wilson's, but I wanted to find a way to keep the "disregard most severe and lenient judge" system since it didn't seem you guys already decided for an actual 4 judge per group system.

Instead of just not taking into account the most severe and lenient ratings, you could simply half their value to make them weight less in the final equation. Roughly, it would look like this:



A: averaged grade
L: lenient grade
M1, M2: middle grades
S: severe grade

All that's left to decide is which value of A is the limit for passing. If I try it out with my own submissions, here are the results I would get:

FF7 - Theme of Aeris: 6.5
Redirected Moonlight: 7
ULTRAnumb: 8.3

Just a suggestion~
