Hey! I should thank you in return for sparking my stepcharting career. Your music has also improved amazingly over the last few years.

Funnily enough, I just spent an hour today making a v2 of one of my old KgZ files (ReRicked). Should be uploaded as soon as I get graphics for it.

I HAVE SO MANY. list excludes like 20 other files I love + my own files, but this should give you a good idea. also it's one file per stepauthor so some really good files got shafted

(bmah) Tabibito Rerun - perfect song, perfect steps. I'm gonna be whoring this one for a while.

(CosmoVibe) Black Light Machine - best marathon file ever? quite possibly. I cannot wait to see how people will react to this.

(Don) Luna's Tower - just really solid file with some very ~artistic~ flourishes, nothing you wouldn't expect from Don

(eastsideman09) Wolfgang's - well it would be one of my favorites if my computer could process it but well fucking done anyhow. I said damn

(Gundam-Dude) Leia - this one's going to be plastered all over the Brag Board for a looooong time

(mi40) Amber Shores - future Stepmania classic imo

(Roar) Hayate - I think this might be my favorite Roar file tbqh

(rog) Am I A Psycho - easy but super-dynamic. the rap sections are an absolute treat to play

(wc) Machine - he calls this his quintessential file and I'd be hard-pressed to argue against that

Chain Dumbin' (Detrimentalist) - something this stupid shouldn't be this fun

o'er the flood (IcyWorld) - absolutely brutal but surprisingly intuitive. IcyWorld's files in this pack have made me a huge fan of his work, honestly. he has so many good files in this.

Thrillseeker (IcyWorld) - yeah I'm breaking my own one-file-per-person rule deal with it

Training Mode (ferrari) - if you loved Clock Tower Stage/basically any Capcom vs Marvel file ever, you'll have a blast with this

Tsugaru Apple Mix (Torrent) - hooo boy good luck FCing this

but the really important thing is that this pack has a friggin' Taylor Swift dodgeball file so it automatically beats every other pack ever released

oh, wow. this is going to be long.

SO when we first began, we had ~50 good singles files. I was planning on adding around 20-30 unreleased submissions for a decent-sized pack (and given how lenient I generally am, I was expecting that it'd take around 40-50 submissions to reach our goal), but then submissions began to flood in.

in the end, we got over 100 files from tons of different places; I still have no idea what happened. my theory is that a lot of the files from lurker's cancelled pack ended up here, and that the generally more relaxed standards for this pack motivated many people who wouldn't have submitted otherwise to submit tons of files here.

and then there's Puppet, who gave me a secret stash of 20 files dating back as far as like 2008--you'll see a few files from veterans like iamme and dondon151 thanks to him.

[Gundam-Dude]

did you mix up leia and bird sprite lmao

'cause the latter is the one that seems to be played from the pack teaser

[moches]

Nope. both files are dope; Leia really grew on me, though.

[moches]

It'll be my first NB pack, but okay :3

I always thought it was your very well done advertising.

ahaha, maybe it helped that we were the only active pack for a while (other than Xoon 6 but that's a different beast entirely)

I'm just glad that the community has been so enthusiastic about this entire project from beginning to end.

[Snowcrafta]

Nope don't know you

reviving this 8)

[AlexDest]

what do you think is your best file that you've stepped?
