Oh, that's not hard at all.

Phew none of my files were names

[DossarLX ODI]

In no particular order:

-Vertex Beta vrofl
-Reluctantly Accepting Temporary Overexhaustion
-Party4u Holy Nite Mix (v1)
-Crowdpleaser
-Death Piano
-Revolutionary Etude
-Winter Wind Etude
-Marisa Stole The Precious Thing
-Pants
-World Tour 2004 (This file really irritated the shit out of me, even I didn't find RWOB nearly as bad)

[emulord]

I'll agree with Dossar except for Crowdpleaser and vrofl. Those charts have to exist for flavor reasons!
Marissa is a okay chart, definitely not the worst.

[qqwref]

The chart to Marisa was incredibly disappointing to me. I wouldn't call it specifically, but it didn't feel like it followed the feel of the song at all, and the note recoloring was really not my favorite decision.

PS: I actually really liked Mephisto Waltz, October, and Einstein-Rosen Bridge. RAN is icky on FFR but really fun in SM (or in FFR if you don't care about scoring).

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

1. Blue note Syndrome files as a whole
2. M.A.M.A.
3. Everything by Xandrax with the exception of Streets. And yes this includes Clockwork.
4. ALL FGOs except: Tagrei, Holy Orders and La Campanella.
5. EHHS
6. 300
7. 90% of the newer stepfiles put in game
8. Doomslayer [Heavy]
9. Chaotic Sound (You ****ing idiot red on red was stupid.)
10. The Final Fantasy

condensed list is condensed.

C'mon baby I'm a rolling stone
I want to conversate
I want to take you home
And if you want to take up on and ride its on
I want to shag baby (Shag baby)
Shag baby (Shag baby)


but seriously, I don't know why so many of you despise certain charts. I like the variety and I never truly understood how a song could be stepped wrong without being offsync/completely offlayered.

[who_cares973]

Stepping is very complicated. Its not just notes to a song its about visual/pseudo-physical representation of the songs energies and emotions.

Think of stepchatts as interprative dances

[Phlegmatism]

Stargroup's essays could make any game look intricate. And Kommisar's drama filled action pack video adventures induce passion within the game.

I know stepcharts relay the song's emotion but how WRONG can a person's interpretation of a song be? I just never understood how people can be so critical of a file without letting unjust bias interfere. Not even talking about index/prehistoric/sharpnel files. I believe if someone hates a file so much they're indirectly expressing hate towards the song itself more. /rant

[kommisar]

almost there
any file that thinks harder means a bunch of 32nd bursts
almost there
hardkore atomic
silence
almost there

[leonid]

hey hardkore atomic is one of the best charts..

I guess it's different when a stepartist dislikes a file as opposed to someone that just plays the game

[championanwar]

Nova Pulsar. . . .
The rest suck, but not as hard as that one file.

Interpretation is like any form of art. It's both subjective as well as objective. While some interpretations might not appeal to all people, there are some interpretations you can say are just flat out bad in almost every respect.

Not everyone likes bacon ice cream, but you can't say that it's a bad food. However, you can say that human feces is bad food. You can say that rat poison is bad food. These are extreme examples but some of the gray lines aren't as gray as you might think.

Looks like someone hasn't played a lot of hard index charts


I find that chart preferences change a lot over time, and it's often based on what you're good at or focused on. People who can't vibrate start to hate files with vibrating jacks, people who play index start to hate files that are extremely non-index-friendly, people who step artsy songs start to hate generic js files, people who are really competitive start to hate files that are awful to score on. Pretty much every serious SM/FFR player grows to hate easy DDR type charts that don't closely follow the music... and yet those are probably enjoyed by more people than a typical SM community pack

I guess the point of that is - different people (or, the same person at different times) will enjoy totally different things, so don't assume your opinion of enjoyability is objective, because it's literally impossible to make a chart everyone will like.
