ait gotta get in on this maybe. i'll try to finish a file

[C1004A]

How many files is (20%)?

Since it's 30-40 files, I'm assuming around 6 max per person?

It depends on submission flow, but assuming I get that much yes. Since OD8 had 75 files and 30 were from aloola, that's why I'm restricting this. I just don't want too many files from the same person, I prefer to select the best and have more stepping variety.

[Gundam-Dude]

this pack

yes I'll send plenty of shit later

Oni
Great file, fun and nice layering. Yes


Gengaozo (Crazy Star)
Heavy
I will consider this your main chart. Song gets repetitive and dumpy. Not a kind of file I was expecting for this pack, it looks like something IcyWorld would accept lol. M50 you could've layered those drums instead of same jump layering. Layering is pretty solid but there's not much more I can say about this. No

Oni
Same as heavy with added difficulty. No


Me wo Tojite Gyuttoshiyo (Higguy)
Standard
Same issues as Oni + Simplify more. No

Heavy
Same issues as Oni + Simplify more. No

Oni
0.439 missed 16th though i can understand why you didn't step it. M3 onwards please decide what your jumps are going to, guitar, bass or drums, they feel randomly placed and don't emphasize any of those, they feel like you just put them there because of it. If they're going to guitar sounds they're inaccurate. 17.500 why you didn't step anything there. 18.000 I don't think there's a need to layer the first two as jumps. 20.000 isn't same sound as above recheck. You used phantom 16ths while you missed a lot of possible 16th sounds during the file. Beat 87 why did you decided to layer all jumps there while you weren't doing that before. Recheck some hands. 116.500 that section breaks the song flow, also the 16ths shouldn't be there. Inconsistent use of jumps during the second part of the song. No


Poseidon (kors k mix) (CHACHA)
Standard
Good as an easy chart. Yes

Heavy
Transition between jumpstream and the next section is iffy. Otherwise good as an easy chart. Yes

Oni
11.250, 19.250, etc 16ths shouldn't be really there, but it's still a passive use there and it isn't a really big deal regarding phantom notes. If you're using 16ths minijacks at the first jumpstream at least layer them to the same sound consistently, they feel randomly placed. I would've liked to see a bit more of hand usage, especially for cymbals since in some parts of the songs you're just not putting them, while you are doing so in some other parts which breaks consistency. Some transitions are iffy but not much of a problem. 218.500 24ths jumpstream seems too much of a difficulty spike for the real difficulty of the file. 226.000 onwards you could've just stopped stepping after the jumpfreeze, there's no really need to layer those 3 last freezes, it makes the ending awkward. Go and fix at least your jacks and i'll consider passing this. Pending


Rock-Mode (Higguy)
Standard
Same as heavy. No

Heavy
Inconsistent jump placing, bad 16th placing. Same issues as your other file. No


(XC) Senbonzakura
Please cut this song for god's sake

Standard
Simplify more. No

Heavy
Please be consistent with your hand chord layering throughout the song. If you're gonna omit some of them do it in the same place. 118 and 134 same sounds, different freeze usage, please be consistent with it. Be consistent with freeze length for same sounds. 387.000 invisible 24ths. 439.000 jack was supposed to be 223 not 233, it's the same sound as the ones before. 449.500 That jumpjack transition was unnecesary. Needs tweaks before I can pass this. No

Oni
I suggest you remove this chart since it makes the song dull and dumpy and there is a huge difficulty gap between the song and transitions, especially the solo part. No


Shiroi Kokoro (Gundam-Dude)
Heavy
Nice 6key conversion. Get your easier chart when you can


The Sampling Paradise (CHACHA)
Please don't mind my suggestions I'm ****ing biased with this song since I would've stepped this soooooooooooo differently. I'll try to go straight to the point.

Standard
Good as an easy chart. Yes

Heavy
Good as an easy chart. Yes

Oni
59.000 those should be 24ths not 32nds. Similar issue to your other file, this one was more hard to notice though, try to use your jacks consistently to same sounds (in jumpstream). 110.250 is 16th space 48th space 16th (measured in 48ths). Again, I would've liked more hand usage in some parts, maybe some mines too. Really fun scoring file. Fix that minor shit and I'll pass it for sure


MEGUMEGU (WTP)

20.000-21-22 hands don't emphasize much. Hand vocals is gay and doesn't emphasize anything. Putting holds in jumpstream like that you lost the opportunity to use pitch relevancy which the file itself doesn't have much. The chorus could've been a lot more densly layered (with 16ths) since there isn't much going in the song and you're removing the only parts that the song has something decent to step to and you changed it with holds and vocal hands which makes it worse. Also the song it's too long it's boring to play after the 2 min mark. You stepped the guitar solo really plainly and could've been better. I suggest you work on cutting the song, making the file more interesting with 16ths in some parts, not focusing that much on vocals especially and focus on pitch relevancy. No

Edit
LOOOOOOOOOOL mines. No

[NeoMasterPie]

cool i will have something for this

Apollon (XxdbxX)
Oni
Hold abuse, excessive use of long freezes and some short freezes in streams. Unnecessary use of hands in some parts of the song. Dump song, too long, nothing special, phantom 16th streams at some parts of the song. Again not a kind of file i'm expecting for this pack. No

blossomdays (Shizuru+ccc901010)
Heavy
I suggest you to avoid jump patterns during freezes usages and jack usage (112.500). Needs to be more simplified in some parts since it's the only easy chart. No
Oni
M6 i guess you decided to change layering in that section to percussion instead of synths but it's irregular and at the same time that transition is too iffy. If you want to do it start after beat 17.
Hand at 60.500 isn't really necessary
Beat 65 i would personally layer at least a jump in that first step it feels weird.
Not sure what miniholds during the song are going to.
Beat 80 there isn't really a 16th transition there, it's only the background sound. and that hand isn't really necessary
Beat 87 hand isn't necessary either
Beat 93 stream starts there not before.
Beat 96.500 you could've layered that 16th transition for less awkward transition in that section
118.500 there should be a vocal jump placement there.
Beat 57 217 jump transitions shouldn't be really there since you're stepping same sound with different layer but i can pass this if you're doing it for climax theory.
Overall a really good attempt but needs fixes before I can pass this. Maybe

Chase the World (DARK)
Heavy
Worse freeze abuse than Yume's old files lol. Try to limit yourself to layering the most important ones. No
Edit
And this lacks holds lmfao.
Beat 47 section is tecnically innacurate. If you're going to diminish that part making it easier try using half notes.
Try to be more more careful with patterns cause sometimes they end up being only rightish or leftish.
Not much to say about this. Try to mix both charts and add a couple of freezes or use this as your main chart and add an easier one since I cannot accept this as an easier chart compared to your main. Needs to be more simplified. No

Days of Anger (XxdbxX)
Oni
Dump. Too Long. Boring. Not much variation. Not a file for this pack. Sorry. No

Hyadain no Joujou Yuujou (SonicX)
Heavy
M6 I consider this borderline dumpy for a file like this.
Some sections of this file are clearly underlayer while others have a very different grade of difficulty. Decide if you're going to make an easy or a hard file.
Some 8ths are innacurate stepped to nothing
To be short file doesn't flow with the song and it's one of the most important things. No

Standard

Heavy

To be honest I think you're just rushing to get a file in and resending things fast or maybe you want my advice, but sometimes it's better to discover some things on your own (looking at other files, experimenting yourself, listening closely to the song).
If you want comments well yeah I see a lot of improvements, though I feel file is very generic and underlayered at some points: for example you could've layered beat 61 16th transition (and a lot more in the file are like this)
Jump and hand placement are a lot more solid than last time, there are some mistakes but no big deal. (try figuring out yourself if you can, it serves as good practice)
Honestly I was going to pass this but since the mix just started you've got time. Take your time finish your file don't rush and come back at me later. Pending

Miracle Rush (Kommisar)
NOTE TO MYSELF: Get a better audio file.

Oni
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Achiga-Hen. Fun MA file. Beat 83 and 84 shouldn't be double freezes? (the 8th and the 16th one). Honestly I just happened to find that out by playing. Maybe you have a reason for not layering it there. Yes and get your easy chart when you can.

Party Love ~ Okkiku Naritai ~ (SonicX)
Same issues as your other file. No

Sakurane (DARK)
Edit
Good as an easy chart. Yes
Heavy
Worse freeze abuse than Yume's old files lol. Try to limit yourself to layering the most important ones. File without holds could've be more heavy layered, since edit is the same without holds so it feels kinda plain. No


T.O.P (SonicX)
Inconsistent and innacurate tap vocal layering.
Sometimes doesn't flow well
Offset is a bit late . No

Whimsical, Rock Paper Scissors! (SonicX)

Just in case I'm not against hard files or borderline dumps like kore ga umi e no ai janai ka from OD8 but keep the file somewhere between dumpy and not dumpy.

Sorry if I'm not checking easy charts for the files I failed since I've been spammed a lot with files to the point I need a daily review since I won't finish other way lol.

Standard
Good as an easy chart. Yes
Hard
Good as an easy chart. Yes
Oni
Beat 96.750 breaks completely your layering, since you never stepped to bass drums as jumps in the whole song. Consider removing them and leave them as single taps or at least switching patterns (12 34 ,13 24, etc).
Good file, easy flowing, more meant for intermediate players. A bit on the repetitive side since you could've layered more densily especially in the chorus, with jump and hand usage + some violin string streams, to vary the simfile more. Yes

Dead END (AnTiHoLiDaYs)
Oni
Generally it's better to layer the most important and prominent sounds as jumps in a file, in this case you did the other way round since it would've been better if you layered drums as jumps and the ones you layered as jumps as single notes.
Beat 113 to beat 126 you completely broke your layering and you aren't emphasizing any sound in particular.
174.500 you missed a jump there.
Careful with patterns cause sometimes they end up being too rightish or leftish.
Seeing that you didn't do much different than Sargon's and file has some mistakes, I don't find enjoying myself this file over Sargon's in OD8. Which was in my opinion one of the best files of the pack. No

Funky Sonic World (SonicX)
Oni
Song is annoying.
Subjectivemanias aside.
16ths beginning are innacurate. File is underlayered for a Keyboard file, layer your file more.
Beat 112, if you're stepping single taps that's a huge difficulty spike for someone of that lvl.
259.500 That long hold + jumps are a huge difficulty spike for the file, and really aren't emphasizing anything.
Please be consistent with layering, as I told you before, decide if you're going to make an easy file or a hard file. No

Future Gazer (AnTiHoLiDaYs)
Oni
1.375 jacks feels completely random if you look at the rest of your layering in that sound.
13.500 should be a single tap.
18.625, 19.375 can't be heard at 1.0 rate don't step them.
Some patterns are really awkward to play
Some 16ths are badly placed or not loud enough to layer them.
M21 onwards, NO it's a huge difficulty spike, holds could be shortened in length.
M25 you suddenly decided to layer those vocal holds.
Some jumps during the file are badly placed while you didn't layer some other you've been layering.
A lot of mistakes and again I cannot find myself enjoying this over Kaneh's version in OD7. No

Hello (MazEi)
LOLOLOLOL THAT COLORED LAYERING LOLOLOLOL
I think song is a bit off in some parts, recheck this plz.
Heavy
You could've layered some bass so the song could be more interesting at some parts. I honestly don't see anything wrong with this file. It's just that it's a bit lackluster for me in general. I DUNNOO

The Least 100sec (SonicX)
Heavy
Work on your layering, instead of sending me hundreds of files finish one and take your time. Making a good file is hard (unless you're Kommisar) if you're not used to it, try working on your layering, some sections are empty while some others are filled with jumps (and sounds didn't change), try to be more consistent. No

Heavy
Good as an easy chart

Since you're layering jumps to bass sounds some of them are a bit of during the first section of the file, no big deal but recheck them.
159.000 that section is a huge difficulty spike, layer it as rolls if you want it to be easier or freezes if you want to remove them.
Chorus could be more layered with jumps.
249.250 should be a jumpjack much less a jump
259.000 feels weird not having anything there. Besides the same section at the beginning of the song is differently layered compared to the end.
Ending could've been stepped with a freeze to prevent a sudden ending.
Could've used some hands since this is your main difficulty, that's why there are easy charts to include the charts for intermediate players, but that's my call.
Needs Tweaks. Not for now

STOP RESTEPPING SONGS DSADSADSAFSFAS, ALSO WHY ALI PROJECT WHY
Oni
I don't see much difference with what Shizuru did in OD8 (despite those 24ths minithrills) plus there isn't much to step to begin with. There are a few mistakes here and there but nothing important. But yeah. No

Last Fortune (AnTiHoLiDaYs)
Oni
Some mistakes in the introduction with jump placement.
Those jump transitions are a huge difficulty spike and don't really emphasize anything (you don't need to be that faithful to layering in these cases lol, or at least layer them as non jack transitions).
If you're going to use hands use them consistenly.
Some 32nds aren't really loud in normal speed to layer them
Some mistakes here and there with 16ths.
No

Magical Generation (Zelda-YEH)
Heavy
Good as an easy chart. Yes
Oni
Those long jacks are a bit of a difficulty spike (especially the last one) but no real big deal.
Jacks at the end are a bit iffy (not the long one), you could layer them as single taps and leave as jacks the important ones (the ones with a transition or drums sounds).
Fun solid file. Kawaii song. Yes

Nekuraholic (Zelda-YEH)
HOLY SHIT IT'S A TRAP
Heavy
Good as an easy chart. Yes
Oni
Really fun file. Those thrills gave the file scoring value. M53, that section could've been a lot better if jumps were layered in 8ths and not 4ths. Yes

Towa no Kizuna (AnTiHoLiDaYs)
Oni
Beginning would be a lot better if you didn't omit the lower piano sounds
Song could be a lot better if hands were layered on cymbals and maybe some drums.
M15 all those jacks don't really emphasize anything.
This section feels empty and dumpy at the same part. Could've layered jumps.
Could've layered transition that starts in 74.250
75.250 is really dumpy and doesn't flow with the song
85.750 Missed another transition
114 jacks don't emphasize anything and section is too rightish.
Overall the file is lacking and doesn't flow well in some parts.
No

M6+ that beginning layering is kinda awkward and it has WAY TOO many right patterns, flip some around.
M14 I would prefer layering those mines as jumps in that situation, also missed a couple of piano grace notes in that section.
67.250 jacks there don't really emphasize anything and check that transition, cause sound continues till 16th and stops there.
M26+ , i would personally layer piano chords as hands there but that's my call.
M30+ Those quads (and of course jacks after quads) are a HUGE difficulty spike and really awkward to hit at those speeds.
135.000 transition doesn't really emphasize anything, make it easier, at least with single jacks ending with a hand not a quad or jumpjacks.
File is fun, borderline dumpy but acceptable, remove those quads in the jumpstream section and fix the rest and i'll pass this. Pending

All your files have very index like patterns, do you play one handed or something? Not much to say here. Good file for intermediate players. Yes

Good file, decent jack practice, jacks made the song more interesting to play. I know a lot of ppl will complain on this due to song choice but, there isn't really anything wrong with the file. Yes when you remove jacks from easier charts.

Really fun file, I can't really listen to this but i have no problem while playing lol. Where all the single holds (the vocal and the synth ones) before the burst really necessary? Same issue with the end. Try to flip around patterns in the brass part with short holds, since holds there aren't really the problem, if you make patterns easier it will make that section easier to read even with holds. Other than that no real comment on the file. Yes

Those thrills are a HUGE difficulty spike, consider trimmin them down to 32nds. Also i don't really know why you decided to use half bpm.
Chorus section has a bit too much 8th jack patterns but that's my subjective opinion.
Well layered and enjoyable. Get an easy chart

I don't know what weed were you smoking when you did this, M9 thrills aren't 16ths but 12ths, there is another sound there but there aren't really 16ths.
101.750 you missed a 16th there, not sure if it was done on purpose or it was just accidental. If it was on purpose don't mind me.
I loved your layering on those background sounds at the beginning.
Great file, enjoyable overall, only that minor issue with that section but i'm not failing this for that, just fix it when you can. Yes

File is underlayered as ****, there isn't much problem with the chart itself but, it really has no appealing even for intermediate players (it's almost a beginner chart lol). Also song choice isn't helping much in this case. No

Hyadain no Joujou Yuujou (SonicX)

Same problem with your other file, but this time some sections are enough layered while others are completely empty, this is a keyboard oriented pack for at least intermediate players, with some beginner friendly charts, your file is made for people to play it not to just stand there in the pack cause no one thinks it's appealing. My advice: work with one file at a time, look at other files and come back later. No

Party Love ~ Okkiku Naritai ~ (SonicX)

Same issues, not enough layering in some parts, + some 16th notes are really off. Please try harder, you really are making me just look around at your files, I don't even have to do a full check of it to reject it, work harder plz. No

Good file, well done and enjoyable. Please try to avoid some holds lol. I'm gonna watch this later since I can't play at this late. I'll tell you the details on irc if I see something weird while playing. Yes

I guess this is your easier chart. Simplify more plz. And please switch difficulties. No

Your jump layering is weird overall and doesn't really flow that well with the song. Some transitions are kinda hard to play at those speeds for intermediate players. I'm not sure yet I'm holding my decision for now. I'll update later in main post

File queue is at 15 files. I guess this is improving bit by bit

are you okay with hard charts, or is otaku's dream geared towards beginners / mid level players? i always had the impression otaku's dream had easy songs only

I'm ok as long as they don't pass the dump limit. If you want a reference I'm ok with most FFRCP submissions except of Maniera, cuz i have to aim to the OD community too. But I can be ok with a Leonid type file or something that is borderline dumpy but not too repetitive itself. I dunno but I don't think you lose anything by trying lol. And well yeah most OD packs are anime songs so there isn't much to do really lol

[leonid]

hey that's offensive. my files have much more than that
