it IS idm tho, so i'm not sure how it will come out since its nothing like songs i usually step

This is an excellent song and would likely make for a great stepfile.

It's also 100% through-and-through stepman music lol
I'd love to play the file if you do wind up stepping this, but it does not fit this particular pack.

Song choice rules:
-- No restepping a song already in FFR or ThirdStyle. Period.
-- No songs from commercial rhythm games (Beatmania, DDR, Guitarfreaks, Jubeat, etc etc). This includes base Guitar Hero/Rock Band songs (but not DLCs lmao)
-- No songs from BMS of Fighters. Not technically a commercial rhythm game but FFS please branch out from Bemani style music.
-- No songs from ridiculously overstepped artists. Sharpnel, Renard, OSTER Project, Venetian Snares, S.S.H., Dragonforce... you know what I mean here.

lol

I absolutely reserve the right to reject stuff that is pretty clearly too "mainstream Stepman" music.

lol

Seriously there's a world of music out there with limitless styles that haven't been stepped before.

didnt know Downtempo IDM was overstepped but hi19 makes the rules here not me :<

(but i bet you could still find some other cool tunes)

I'm trying to get people to really branch out here.

I'm sure people could nitpick genres because I'm by no means an expert, but in general it's hard not to agree that IDM as a broad genre is pretty damn frequently stepped.
I'm honestly fine with being a little bit picky. A lot of these songs would definitely make for good simfiles (which is why the genres are so often-stepped in the first place!) but I am willing to turn down good files in order to have the pack really represent something different from the norm.
I definitely don't mean to talk down anyone's musical tastes or anything with this pack, only encourage experimentation.

Is there a difficulty requirement? Because some songs might be amazing even if they're easy, since good music makes the game more enjoyable in any way

i already know where you're going with this and dont worry im actually going to finish the file for this pack specifically haha

[EzExZeRo7497]

lmfao I'm so tempted to step, but I'm not even good lmao
Was planning to step this, don't know if you would accept it though

[SKG_Scintill]

Seeing all these people step music only slightly out of the ordinary, I stepped this:

[skorpion9x]

Would Blacklodge be acceptable for this?

Sample in spoiler (maybe even the song I would step)

My general rule is nothing easier than Power on FFR and nothing Staiain can't pass.

I think that's a suitable difficulty range, no?

A bit "OSTER Project fake jazz-ish" but honestly I will have no problem accepting this. It's a great song and will almost surely make for a nice file.

I'm glad this pack is motivating you to step, there's no harm in trying!

Yes.

Extremely yes :P

This is quite suitably "different" sounding metal. As Scintill noted it is only slightly out of the ordinary but it works for this pack I suppose.




Anyway reviews tonight, sorry. Been busy.

[hi19hi19]

Reviews:

Transparent World (eiddiM)
Rejected straight up for song choice.
Vocaloid speedmetal, really bro...

I was charitable and gave the oni chart a play anyway and it's got potential.
Stay away from so many split triplet-jump patterns (such as 3 1 [24], instead use 2 1 [24] or 1 2 [34] that kind of thing)
Your stream patterns are... weird. They don't play like a cohesive stream, instead lots of little gallops and triplet patterns. Reminded me of the way Dossar used to step streams, look at his old Brutality Tournament stream files haha. Try to "connect" the patterns of your stream a little more, as a general rule the more adjacent arrows there are the easier it is to read and more flowing to play... I can't really explain it with words well but suffice it to say the stream patterns are kinda awkward.
Also the fact the intro was all weird colors and there were some sections that clearly had blue note syndrome means you should check the sync.

Maybe fix it up a little send it to another pack, good luck man


Reefer Man (Scintill)
Yes.
Seriously I ****in love you Scintill.
I honestly have nothing bad to say at all about this chart. I can only hope the rest of the pack is this good.

I'd appreciate if you made another chart though broski <3


EDIT- I'm trying my hardest to find something wrong with this file lol
22.5 those jumps should have a little swing IMO, straight 16th jacks plays a little weird. The third chord is after the 8th beat. Same with 26.1 etc.
I think you missed a little bit of piano at 55.7 but then again I can also see why you could have consciously chosen not to step it.
Sync also seems about 15-20 ms early in places but perfect in others, not a huge deal with a live song like this though.

Really though this file is amazing haha, so fun and the song is just the kind of thing I had in mind for this pack.

[DossarLX ODI]

Is there an email I can send my file to for this pack?

[SKG_Scintill]

Was stepped to feel like the song, not to be 100% accurate :P

[xVaLoRx]

Can I send in 1 chart now and make the easier chart later?
