wtf were those minijacks for? This looks bad imho :/

gonna be a struggle to even FC this sucker

[Herogashix]

Is it just me, or are your newer files getting just dumb? Get back to your roots.

[EtienneSM]

Yeah, I'm going to be honest, this doesn't really look all that fun, sorry. x:

[icontrolyourworld]

cmd+ctrl+c is fun, this one i just wanted to make stupidly hard, sorry if you guys don't like it

[EtienneSM]

I just think it's too bursty. It would be a lot more fun if it was just constant hand/jumpstream for the most part. The burst parts could be for breaks.

icyworld is getting korean

[Riotpolice]

Icy, I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure the first 2,000 arrows of that song, my hands would be absolutely beat. Great file, looks fun but it's not for my skill level yet ;_;

Edit: I made the above comment without reading anyone's comments, I just skipped down to the bottom so you can tell that I am not biased or just stating the obvious or anything. And neither am I good at judging if a file is "good" or "bad" because I've not gotten the chance to step as long as most of you guys have.

nah bro, i always make some off putting files, just look at these as examples
11Eleven
Color of Giggles
Disturbed Relationship (IcyWorld)
Snow Goose
Sunny Street Piano Rush A (IcyWorld)

not many people play these files because of how densely or awkward they are (or maybe they're just really horrible song choices), but I still made them in the past because I like layering really really heavy every now and then

it's ok if you don't like my file, but to say i'm slipping is inaccurate imo

for the people that are looking for a challenge, and maybe develop new skills to DOMINATE this game, maybe this file will be for them too. personally i like it

[Dynam0]

It's a good file for a challenge yes, but for a handstream/jumpstream skills file the mini-jacks are really out of place (just a side note). I think the "slipping" thing is understandable though because to me, it looks like this will be in NB5? If it is that makes about 4 Sharpnel js/hs files that are layered in an almost identical way. In my opinion, these type of files are losing their luster a bit and making an increasing amount of them gives the impression that nothing new or unique is being brought to the table. I look at NB3 and 4 and although the packs are very similar in terms of layering structure and there's heavy emphasis on density, the files are quite diverse and have their own unique qualities to them. I have the NB5 preview pack and have only touched a handful of files in there..the ones that seemed new and different: Dark Matter, First Flight, Pandemonium, Soldiers of The Stamina (the length made this unique imo). Also I tried a few others like Magic Cycles, Nergal Burning, etc. but they feel so close to WLL clones that I haven't bothered trying them again. It also doesn't help that a ton of these don't have gfx yet which might seem superficial but really does make a difference so I'm sure the pack will still be kick-ass when it's all done.

tl;dr I think Sharpnel js/hs files are getting beaten to death so it's always important to keep variety in packs. (this is starting to remind me of when people made constant stream Rhapsody simfiles that were basically Emerald Sword clones in 2005)

Cut icy some slack. Sure, the file is anything from traditional however he's setting the finale for what's even relevant to skill progression these days.

Sunny Street Piano Rush A and Snow Goose are actually pretty good and among the more played files in nuclear blast from what I understand.

I don't think you can compare this file to those for several reasons.

This file is really, really long, and for how long it is, it doesn't offer anything in variation. It's literally just dense handstream for six minutes.

The only thing it does offer in variation are those minijacks and 32nd rolls which, instead of keeping the file interesting, just serve to kill scoring opportunities and thus any desire to replay and try to get a good score, which is really frustrating for the player.

This file has little to offer as it plays so similarly to countless other marathon handstream dj sharpnel files, except that it has those annoying difficulty spikes.

But for example, Sunny Street Piano Rush has a more unique structure and although it's pretty repetitive, it's short enough so that people don't get bored with it and are still interested in trying to get a good score. It doesn't really matter that it's extremely densely layered.
