Xoon Mini Pack 2 Released

[kommisar[os]]

Quick pack, yet quality remained. I was baffled by the fast response of the community as I received quite a few submissions. Huge props to the graphics team Scylaax and Mr.Bob that made gfx within a few days for the pack's quick release. Thank you to all who submitted such fun files and hope you'll all submit when Xoon Mini Pack 3 is launched in the next 3 weeks.

All the bgs are pretty nice except one really pisses me off.
The Shadow Queen Battle has just an abstract bg wtf

EDIT: Look guys it took me a whooping 12 minutes to make this, but it's a dozen times better :/

Epidermis and Knowing it = Breakcore

Files here are ok. I wouldn't play most of them though. Escpecially Plain Asia... Stop stepping that song plz?

Giving a review on this, using weighted and unweighted ratings. (Weighted ratings take other factors into play, such as song choice, expectations/delivery, length, etc.)

Ferrari - Alive
Strange song, to say the least. File is straightforward enough, but is killed by the song, which just isn't that steppable. Still surprisingly decent and I might play this again.
weighted rating: 8/10
unweighted rating: 6/10

Synexi - BLN
If this is your first real file, I'm surprised. Actually quite fun--the jacks provide a nice challenge, although I'm utter **** at hitting them. Nice moments like the triples and jumps in there too. My only complaint is that the freezes could have been much more sparsely used and that the file feels somewhat generic without any factors to boost it up a notch or two. I still like this, though, and the song is pretty amusing. Those German chicks can rap!
weighted rating: 6.5/10
unweighted rating: 5.5/10

Puppet - Dazzling Destiny
Didn’t like this as much as I thought I would, to be honest. Some parts feel overstepped and it doesn’t flow as well as the song does. The calmer parts were very nice, though, and nice to see this song finally having a decent chart.
weighted rating: 5/10
unweighted rating: 5.5/10

Scylaax – Epidermis
VERY impressed with this, however. Other than one part where I had to hit a looong series of 8th jacks, this flowed perfectly, felt playable, everything just came together. Feels a little generic but whatever. Scylaax is getting better.
weighted rating: 8.5/10
unweighted rating: 7.5/10

Scylaax - Knowing It
Not bad. This was pretty much sound in terms of accuracy, but I still don’t like it much. First of all, we get freezes for a full minute, and then suddenly into a trill. That took me by shock. At least give me a warning sign by adding in mines or something. Whatever works. The fast part is okay, not great but okay. The jumpjacks are just annoying to hit, though. I can’t complain that much about the file itself, just that the song isn’t too hot for stepping. Decent.
weighted rating: 7.5/10
unweighted rating: 6/10

Mr.Bob - Night and Day
This is great. For the most part, flows very well, feels right on my fingers (balanced very well), and never abuses anything, instead bringing things together to make a very fun simfile. The graphics are awesome, too.
weighted rating: 8.5/10
unweighted rating: 8.5/10

Gundam-Dude - Plain Asia
I wasn’t looking too forward to this from the beginning, but it’s not that bad I guess. Just generic steps to an awesome touhou song (who is this DARK Phoenix you speak of?) The entire thing just seemed a bit rushed. You could do better.
weighted rating: 4/10
unweighted rating: 5/10

moches – Roar
my file. I thought Kommi said he was going to fix the pianers, but whatever it’s cool either way. Thanks for liking it guys; I’m pretty damn flattered.
N/A

Kommisar - Saddest RMX
Hard file, but it’s okay I guess. I laughed at the graphics, seriously. And the sample. Some jacks are annoying, but hard files can do that if they want to.
weighted rating: 7.5/10
unweighted rating: 7/10

Malice - Shadow Queen Battle III
I legitimately don’t remember much of this, it was standard Malice stuff. It seemed pretty okay imo. Other than some parts that are a bit obnoxious compared to the rest of the file, playable.
weighted rating: 6.5/10
unweighted rating: 5/10

Kommisar vs. MacGravel - Subterranean Kamikaze
Light is very cool. Simple, but flows perfectly, makes sense. I love how it never breaks into solo, but instead edges on it: that’s about as close to art as Stepmania files get.
weighted rating: 9/10
unweighted rating: 8.5/10

Puppet - Szamar Madar
Doesn’t flow that well, but I really like this for some reason. One of the better VSnares files out there I suppose. Love the mines and bursts.
weighted rating: 8/10
unweighted rating: 7.5/10

Patashu - Take This Life
What Puppet said. It was okay if it was half the length it was. Also those jacks are just plain annoying to hit. I know they’re technically correct and all that jazz (actually rock), but can’t you at least make an easier difficulty?
weighted rating: 7.5/10
unweighted rating: 5.5/10

moches - Tokyo Banging
my file, kind of cool I guess?
N/A

N.T.M. - Vadrum Meets Super Mario Bros. 3
I loved it. Almost everything was spot on, the jumps, the flow, even the sync was nailed (I would have liked to see less color notes, though). Fantastic either way; this is the first file of yours that I will play more than once. Just keep this up.
weighted rating: 10/10
unweighted rating: 9/10

nutshelled: Happy to say that this was even better than XM1. Lots of fun files, nothing standing out as terrible or dumpy. Surprisingly high replay value for a speed-pack as well. Looking forward to XM3!
