Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)
"That beginner is just out of his league submitting his work to that competition and until he/she has gained some sufficient knowledge to be able to compete with the others, he has no right to complain about any of the feedback he receives either."
I seriously just lost a lot of respect for you with this statement, I'm sorry. That statement made you look more of an elitist then anyone I know dude, and that's hard to do. So you're saying that a beginner like myself shouldn't even THINK of stepping for this site because I'm a beginner and way outta my league? What in the hell kind of an opinion is that?! How do you expect someone like me to get better with stepping? KEEP STEPPING. I appreciate any and all feedback I receive for my files, but don't ever tell me or anyone else we're outta our league in stepping here. Knowledge is essential I gather that, but in order to gain MORE knowledge in an aspect of life, you have to continue it and research it and make mistakes to learn better from them. ~C'mon man. |

if you're submitting files to the batch that means you are saying that you have enough of a grasp on stepping that i shouldnt need to tell you about basic fundamental flaws within the file itself. this isnt the same as someone messaging me separately and asking me to review their file because they arent sure whats wrong with it. if you are new to stepping and are still barely getting the hang of things then i -dont- recommend submitting anything to ffr or any sm pack because you wont get any feedback worth seeing because the judges for sm packs and for ffr are going to assume you have at least a firm grasp of stepping concepts and what not. if you want to get better step more and have people review your files individually do not submit to packs because you'll get bashed for making shitty files and you will end up getting even more discouraged that way. |

I'm elitist and I enforce it.
because if i'm just nice and lenient with everyone nothing of quality ever gets made that being said I am not an unfair asshole. people just paid WAY more attention to simfile detail and quality back in the dcp days.

Basically, you'll want to do your research and read up on existing theories etc. practice a lot and get critiques from random members before "applying to the big companies" or in this case submitting it to FFR or you'll have to deal with criticism that is completely valid but doesn't help you on your way.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)
I, obviously have a sufficient amount of knowledge when it comes to stepping. I've stepped files enough to know what's going on with language regarding it. I'm not talking merely about me, but come on, I'm not saying to write a damn essay on one file, but at least mark SOME examples when reviewing a file. One liners are unacceptable, Carlos and you shouldn't even disagree with that statement. Give examples to back up your reasoning behind your targeted rating and "one-liner" note. It's really a simple concept once you figure it out...
EDIT: Okay, Spitfire, that last post was in much better form then the first one. In the manner of how you wrote the other post it came across as personal and would to anyone who is a beginner or intermediate level stepper (in this case I'm included so naturally...) I do understand where you're coming from, but if I may, some people like submitting to "big-time companies" because normally the "big-time companies" will give a really detailed list of what is exactly wrong with this mediocre piece. Yes they may laugh at it, but I find that finding all the errors and writing them down and presenting them back to me will only give more motivation to shove it back in their faces with a fully revised and reformatted piece better then ever.

edit: In art (I just pick this because I'm also experienced with this) for example, beginners want explicit details critiqued which are all wrong since the fundamentals are wrong to begin with. So why should I go into those details when that person should focus more on the fundamentals? Once that person understands the fundamentals better, he'll be able to understand why the details are wrong too. ex: I can go into detail, saying how walls, doors, windows etc. are straight edges if you're going for realism, or if you're going for a stylization, your drawing still needs to be believable. At this point, I can't tell what material the door is made of, so I can't critique on that. Nor can I comment on the materials of the other objects in the drawing. The shapes are wrong, the perspective is nonexistant, and the scaling is off as well etc. etc.. I can comment on the details but that would be hellish task, and I'd be doing the work for that person. Instead I'd tell him it's not a believable drawing and the perspective is nonexistant, which in turn points him to draw from life and read up on perspective.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)
If this was truly the case, you wouldn't need elaboration on what the judges are talking about. You should be able to understand what they are talking about when they say "Your file is repetitive."

if you submitted a file to, say, smgroove 2. if it was a good file but that needed fixing, it wouldn't get put in the pack until ALL fixes were done. then the file had to be re-submitted, re-judged and once all the judges agreed, it would be put in the pack. people broke down files much like we do on FFR, except it was mandated that you fix them completely before it even being considered to be put in. but we don't do this anymore because not enough simfile artists or people are getting lazy idk. not worth the hassle I guess.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions CLOSED)
When I said "sufficient" knowledge, I was able to step the song, sync the song and send it in along with understanding "lingo" when it comes to judging. I'm not a total newb.
Again, it wasn't necessarily ALL for me when it came to the notes being "one-liners" and not descriptive. It's just more or less a formality coming from people who call themselves professionals and stuff. It's basically more for the beginners to intermediates as I stated before. EDIT: And again, Carlos, that is not the case all the time, and I know that much seeing as I've worked and seen it first hand myself. |
