PR wasn't really used and jumps were used arbitrarily instead of by layering sounds together, which is something you'd see in a DDR chart for example.

Usually when someone says that a file feels like pad stepping, it means that the chart was stepped very loosely to the music at best. Charts for playing on DDR/ITG pads do have some correlation to the music, but more often focuses on beats and do not necessarily follow the music to a T. On FFR though, there's more meaningful impact to step more closely to the music - we're not using our feet, and our fingers are more capable of hitting arrows in a variety of ways.

What to do next? Step more closely to the music. Start with the main melody, and structure things from there. (Consider a simfile like layers of an onion.)

I see; thank you very much! I'll make sure to match the different layering in the song more closely for my resubmission. ^.^

This could make for an interesting pack idea. Step beginner files and the pack is consisted entirely of those types of files. (Stepping Stones of Stepmania seemed to be carrying this out, but I don't know what happened to that pack)

Also posting anime gifs don't help your situation in any way midnight they're just annoying. Your posts don't focus on productivity, just baiting.

Hey guys, just a little update.

I was in the process of trying to update the SAP and got a bit fed up with how it was organized, so I condensed everything into a nice spreadsheet.

SEE THIS SPREADSHEET FOR YOUR CURRENT SAP AND SUBMISSION CAP.

That link appears identically on the first post of the original post as it does here, so it should be easy to find. My hope is to be able to archive a bit further into the past, but for now, this will do.

Maybe I'll make files again.

Do it.

make another 17 minute piano medley

It feels "right" to have TGWPv2 as my last released file. I could either just not care about that or start submitting files under a different username. Not sure what I'll do

I'm more waiting to see what the judging system will be like for this next go around. I'll attempt to start judging again and if I end up being one of them, I'll be more inclined to make files again

[hi19hi19]

fyi I will be making minor fixes to all my files as soon as possible (probably not this week, moving into new apartment and have a big econ test) but can you not throw my files into the game until I fix em

thx

[M0nkeyz]

Most of my files were me getting used with stepmania edit and I think I took way too hard and generic files, with alot of BPM changes. However I really wish to make phase 1 into something good.

I wonder if I can still resubmit it now?

[VisD]

Yeah, you can keep resubmitting it as many times as you want, batch after batch until it gets in. However if it's your first few times submitting to fiffer you might want to just get more immediate feedback outside the batches with PMs and fix it up properly first before submitting, because otherwise you're only getting feedback like 1x/4 months, which is hard to improve through.

[ilikexd]

I sent 2 files back in Nov-Dec period and 3 this Jan-Feb period, but it's been so long I'm just gonna send a new e-mail with 6 (2+4) files I want to use for the current batch to replace the old ones.

At this point I'll only be sending one chart. No motivation to chart anything else.

Hey guys, I apologize for neglecting to update this thread; my mind hasn't been on FFR the past few days.

I'll update the OP with all of the accepted files and those that have resubmission privileges as well later today, and I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused
