New Song Artist's Special Batch - Submission Closed

[Xayphon]

That was fast xd

[I like it]

Samurai, once again fast in all aspects of life.

[i love you]

Done judging, will send once I play the other files in the batch 8)

[Xayphon]

God damn you guys it'd take me forever to judge files lmao

[bmah]

Psychologically, it's natural for a lot of people to hold off on something until the deadline nears. So I'd expect some notes to come pretty much near the last minute.

However, if we do get all of the notes early, the notes can be released earlier as well. That'd be awesome.

I'll try, but I'm busy prepping for the meet up plus apartment hunting this week.

[Ziergdsx18]

Might want to change the topic title cause it says submissions are still open.

Also, which teams are judging what? What are the set of files that were assigned to each team?

[i love you]

I'm not sure if we are supposed to tell you that lmao

@Xayphon: When you get to the point where you fully understand a file without even questioning yourself that you do, judging files are rather simple. You just know exactly what to look for without ever having to think about it. For example, there are some people in the FFR judge list who have only made like one or a few good files in their lifetime and have little/no judging experience. Those judges would take a longer time finishing their notes then the ones who have been judging forever and have made several good files. (Also, when I mean good files, I mean good 4-key files and when I mean judging experience, I mean people who have been judging 4-key files for a while and when I mean a while, I mean at least over a year or two.)

PS: Also, how strict and picky you are plays a part in that too hehe

If this pertains to me I can get them done just as fast as anyone else when I don't have a ton of stuff to do.

[jimerax]

updated judgement information.

Be patient, guys.

I have very little judging experience outside of FFR/KBO and I've never been a judge for a keyboard pack that actually finished, so I find that to be an incredibly elitist statement. <_<

Just because a person has slightly less experience in a general aspect of 4-key charting doesn't make them less suitable for judging, and I'd also like to make it clear that past two years of 4-key charting on an SM level have been incredibly monotonous and boring for the most part, due to people expecting/wanting the same thing over and over again.

EDIT: also counter-example to Byron's point - FFR was my first true judging job and I was the first person to finish notes for the first three batches I had while having the most detailed notes

I was not trying to make it sound like a threat or anything. I was just being realistic. Also, I was not only targeting to you btw

I do not understand how I was being elitist. All I said was that people who have more experience judging files tends to finish judging files faster. Just because someone takes longer to judge something does not mean that they are a bad judge.

Maybe I totally confused you guys but when I mean "faster", I meant by how long it took the person to finish judging the files not how long it took them to submit their notes...

in before 50+ posts asking for the judge results and then shitfest on the rejected files

[iironiic]

Well I don't know how you guys do it that fast xD. I'm judging at a rate of about 3 files a day so far lmfao. I'll try to get it done asap though.

I would not be surprised if this happens. FFR is like a cycle, it never stops until something huge were to interrupt that cycle and that "something" is extremely rare.

[psychoangel691]

Judged all but 7 files before the baby started fussing. So I'll prob have em done tomorrow night if I don't get caught up with meet up stuff.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

So looking forward to this

I barely have any judging experiences. All I can do so far is point out misrythms, jump inconsistency, syncing issues and fun factor of course, which have to be the basics I bet. But giving suggestions on how to change certain aspects or parts of a file is not possible for me without serious thinking, haha. Even when I start thinking about it I still have a very unconfident feeling whether it's being correct or not. I'm even unconfident with my english being correct or not all the time, so yeah. Also I'm pretty sure I'd be extremely biased with song choices when judging files. I'd find, for example, Terminal 11 songs good and Techno stuff boring etc.

Gosh even this little amount of text took me some time to write down lmao

[bassCannon]

when's the hard songs batch going to open? august? september?

thanks in advance for the response

[TC_Halogen]

From what I remember, the hard songs batch is going to be after this one? I'm not entirely sure about that though, so don't hold it against me.
