Cool, you're finally gonna meet another FFR/SMer!

Also, did you see my previous post? What did you think about that?

[mi40]

i saw your post

i still stand by the fact that i think you should remove the hands at least for the 24th burst sections, the difficulty spike is just too much (even if the rest of the file is pretty even)

the other difficulties are fine imo

[bmah]

Ok, I'll modify that, but will send the original heavy chart as an edit chart. Is that ok? [I like it too much to change it permanently]

edit: whatever, I sent it

[roundbox]

Submitted my file. I'll look at stepping Ambidexterity later, not entirely sure how I would step it atm

[XelNya]

I tried my hand at sending something.

On the off chance you are a little perplexed, the standard chart is supposed to be one handed while the heavy chart is fully intended for spread play.

Looking forward to the review.

@ XelNya As long as the one handed chart makes sense when played on spread, i say there is nothing wrong with it, especially if it's an easier chart.

@Emanresu pad play is radically different from keyboard play... depending on the song it may be a problem. I'll let you know in the next batch of reviews.

I feel it does, but I am not completely sure how it translates for you. But it is most certainly on the easy side.

favorite daughter (emanresu13) - accept with mentioned fixes
good song choice but there is lots of room for improvement
first off in the heavy chart...
- please step all the sounds, aka 16ths throughout the song that you didn't step, for example: at the intro up to the first cymbal, and instead of stepping parts like 4s ~ 5.5s as three jumps, just step them as normal 16ths notes and layer properly, using jumps only when needed (ex. cymbal sounds, at places like 4.498s, 5.417s, basically at the end of every 3 jumps that you have at the moment)
- 13.233s could probably be a hand, also make sure to step all the sounds that come after
- starting from around the 33s mark, please make to layer all the BANG BOOM cymbal sounds with proper jumps and maybe even hands, it'll fit the song very well
also after the 33s mark you begin to step the 16ths from time to time but you then leave out some 8ths

i think at the moment you were too afraid of the charts being too hard
so i think what you should do keep BOTH charts at the moment and shift them down one difficulty, and create a new HEAVY chart (so you'll have light, standard (the old heavy), and a brand new heavy chart)

you can even copy paste the current heavy chart into the new heavy chart, just make sure to step every sound you hear and layer properly because the cymbals and violin sounds really shouldn't go unstepped

for the win v2 (thesilentlord) - fixes needed
dont know why i didnt point this out before
but for the first ten seconds you have jumps with holds but the only sounds that warrant jumps are ones like drum @ 10.533s and @ 12.584s, the rest should be just singe holds, this goes on til about 37.5seconds

also i think the consistent repeated notes for around from 20.79s to 37s are really unnecessary - the file gets harder after this point so what's the point of stepping barely audible sounds?

- 39s ~ 72s : i would like some pattern variation, esp near 53s ~ 55s (you could probably do something 2-note minijacks here), also for these 30 or so seconds i know you're trying to make the file get harder as it goes on but i think you should just layer all the sounds consistently (drums etc) since it kind of doesnt make sense to be hitting the drums latter 15 seconds of this part and not hitting it for the first 15 seconds

- 73s ~ ending: rework all of the patterns, the jacks when combined with jump+holds are really unfriendly, also make all the holds shorter (dont make them end and make another start right after, give people some room) - also all throughout this part you have some ghost notes and you miss a lot of sounds, look over this part again and tone this down a lot more, make friendlier patterns (one handed trills and a minijack leading into a jump isnt friendly), i know i mentioned that having holds + notes on one hand is hard but so are unfriendly patterns, so i think you can HALVE the length of the holds in this section and because you've halved (you can even cut the holds EVEN MORE) - with this change not only can you open up your chart for MORE PATTERNS, you'll also be able to express the vocals through the holds (the point will get through), but this part seriously needs restepping, put the steps down on 1.0 rate and dont miss obvious sounds

guren no yumiya (thesilentlord) - rejected
i don't see much hope for this kind of song, it's basically the same short melody for like 80 seconds and the vocals are pretty annoying, there are good anime OPs/EDs out there but this isn't one, not to mention the song will pretty much be straight 8th notes with lackluster melodies, this isn't right for the pack!

4.5 (0) - why man why
you probably already know what i'm gonna say
too hard and songs like this should be sent to mad packs instead nichijou is still cool

[Mollocephalus]

why arent u testing my file.............
