I'm thinking its time for our other 3 judges to do a round of judging. You guys have time this weekend?

I've got half finished notes, I just need to get through the rest of the submissions and revisions before posting any of them like last time.

IX (10Dollar) - Not my cup of tea but it's pretty good in certain ways. I pretty much agree with lurker here, it's a bit on the hard side. Pending

Collision Point (??) - There are a lot of very clearly missing notes for some reason, so I'll outline them here.

m2 beat 3: there's a missing blue note
m11 beat 3: missing first yellow note
m14 beat 2: missing second yellow note
m16 beat 3: both yellow notes are technically missing, but these I can see justification for not having
16th note before m18: missing
m21 beat 2: rhythm here is just totally off to the point where it actually feels wrong
m23 beat 2: 16ths are missing technically
m24: technically missing a note right before the downbeat, but it's subtle enough that it could be ignored
end of m33: the riff sync is off, at least the first 4 notes are

In general, the rhythms are a bit off because you misinterpreted where the downbeats are. Fortunately, this is a non-issue because almost every accented hit/double is yellow, so this probably looks nicer, and it's hard for most people to tell anyways. As for things that matter, in general the chart feels weird. A lot of strong notes aren't accented, which by itself I find strange, but often times this isn't consistent with what your own choices. In addition, the patterns you use don't really reflect well on certain things. For example, beginning of m22 there's a very distinct switch from the top of the piano to the bass, and this transition is in the middle of a 16th run. And yet, you put the transition between the two lines on the same hand. Things like this show that you're not really paying attention to what's going on in the song, you're just throwing random patterns down with the correct rhythms, and that's not what you do with piano songs. Fix everything and maybe it could be good enough to go in. Pending

Catastrophie (XelNya) - Okay m6 is interesting LOL you think it's following pitches but it's just accenting and it feels a bit weird at first XD. Piano section is a ways off. Too many riffs push to the left, and snare fills are done by rolls, which feels a bit strange in the first place and coupled with the fact that it's in the middle of a piano melody section, you think there's some piano line there and there isn't. Accenting and chord usage could be cleaned up too, which should free up pattern choices to let the piano melody out a bit more. One major gripe about the chart as a whole is that more intense sections of the music are actually some of the easier ones, significantly. And it's not even an issue of "there's nothing going on here so I can't make it harder", there's plenty of possible techniques you could take advantage of if you're thinking cleverly. And finally, I hate how this fades out, it feels like it goes on forever. Rejected

Atropos (rCaliberGX) - m39 beat 3 I'd like to see that blue note be a double, as there's a pretty rich piano chord there. I'm also wondering if the 8-bit 24th riffs could be done differently to feel more "crisp". Otherwise, this is excellently done and incredibly fun. Playing it was actually really refreshing. Accepted

Hakugin no Datenshi (Ghakimx) - m102 beat 3 last 16th there's a guitar note, not sure if you wanted that. m126 would've been sweet if you changed the patterns to push the modulation (fancy term for key change), but to be honest it's not easy so don't worry about it if you don't think you have any ideas for that. Otherwise I see nothing else wrong with it. It's pretty oldschool, which is probably fine since it's an SSH song LOL Accepted

Story 2 (rog) - Solid. I like the mine thing at the end. Accepted



will edit this post as I do more

Twirl (MrTea) - Some of the xmods make it almost impossible to dodge some of the mines, like in m29. You see a hold so you're inclined to hold at least briefly, ready to release early in case it tries to speed up, but the mines hit you so fast you don't have time to react. Some other xmods are borderline not sightreadable but I'll let them slide. Accepted with minor fixes

City (10Dollar) - Overall there's nothing particularly wrong with it. It's pretty solid all the way through, and any improvements on it are going to be minor. However, it's pretty repetitive and doesn't have a lot of interesting things going on, so I don't know if it's necessarily noteworthy enough to accept into the pack. I'll let other judges decide on this. Pending

THE CEILING SUCKS (MrTea) - I really wanted to quit out of this. Technically speaking there's nothing wrong with the chart (but I still absolutely hate 32nd+ rolls going to buzz sounds), but the song is so bad and it just drags on for what seems like an eternity. A few sections were done well, but it's not enough to salvage the thing as a whole. Rejected

Danger Danger (blind) - Right before m11, that's a 24th drum roll, not a 32nd, and don't use a double for the first note of that roll. The entire thing just feels bland and uninspired. The big important sounds weren't really sticking out, and the ending is one huge difficulty spiked clusterfuck of jacks. Rejected

Dream Express (Rebarf) - The section at m83 beat 4 differs from the one at m91 beat 4. The m83 section has a totally different 16th ostinato pattern in the back, one with a lot of repetition and jacks, and the patterns should be crafted around that. The m91 one is fine the way it is, though it feels lackluster compared to the rest of the chart, which is nicely done and hella fun. Accepted after fix


lemme know if I missed anything, cause I feel like I did

I apologize. That being said,

Divine Comedy Reverse (James May) - I only recall having one problem with the chart, and it didn't crash until the very end so I assume it's fine now. I still hate this song and would preferably not want to listen to it ever again. Accepted now leave me alone

this implies that he most definitely played rcaliber's file and not yours since you submitted it first. you also didn't have a cdtitle or any credentials anywhere so no one even knew you made the file in the first place, lol

this is probably because rparty's file (the first one) uses the real title (Atröpøs, note the o's) in both the folder name and the .sm file, and stepmania likes to have problems with non-standard characters
i was able to play it but the title was glitched on the song wheel
haven't played rcaliber's yet

honestly i'd say just put it in cringefest, it's going to stand out like a sore thumb if it gets into this pack

Submitted something. Been six years since I've stepped my last file. Let's see if I can get back into making files and stuff. Wish I had more songs from all the crap I listen to, but most of it aren't fit for stepping. Whomp.
