[-Tim-]

caramel soundwave - this really didnt need a chart. utterly boring. 1.5/10

thanks ice choob

[lurker]

freedom why v2
pretty interesting set of reviews, i'm totally not seeing what people like about EM tho
also you can beg for detailed criticism all you want but if someone decides the basic premise of a file is flawed there's not much else they can say

[Kraezymann]

What the fuck is a meme file

[Shxfted]

Just going to post some quick thoughts on what I played, I've probably only played 1/3 of the files so far though.

Absurd Gaff - Would have been better to not use the extended version, I almost fell asleep out of boredom. 3/10

Bassdrop Freaks - Surprisingly decent map of a denpa song. 7.5/10

Betsuni - Only file I have gotten an AAA on lol. betsuni/10

Blastix Riotz - Probably the best Blastix map I have played, but I personally dislike this song and don't think that it should be mapped in the first place. 6.5/10

Burn This Moment Into the Retina of My Eye - Only problem I have with this is the length of the song, but I found it to be fun otherwise. 8/10

Chanelier - Really only played this to AA it, not a fan of the patterns really. 6/10

Cruciform Dachshund - Will play this on 0.9x from time to time because it is challenging, nothing else to really say. 7/10

Dopamine - Really did not like this map at all, it is very inconsistent, inaccurate and underwhelming, I kinda want to map it myself now. 1/10

Freedom Dive tpz Remix - Another map that is challenging on rates, will probably play it a lot for practice, but still pretty meme. 7.5/10

Frozen World - One of my favorite maps to play like, ever. Super fun to play imo, and the jack patterning is really smooth to play. 10/10

Goodtek - Fun map to play, will have to try later on rates. Not much else to say. 8/10

I'm Your Daddy - Ugh why, same problems I had with Dopamine really. 1/10

Ice Angel - Quadstreams are pretty meme tbh. quadstreams/10

Kakushinteki Metamaruphose - Burn in hell trash hamster. Was fun to play, but also fucking annoying, disliked some of the patterns too. Not bad though. 7.5/10

Kakuzetsu Thanatos - It's okay, but kinda boring imo. Might try it on rates. 6/10

Kinetic - Fun dumpy map, but really not much else to say. 7/10

Licca - Tbh not going to play this again, not enjoyable to play, some of the patterns are really questionable. 3/10

Looming Shadow of a Tree Long Gone - Gotta try this on rates, fun map to use as a warmup. 8/10

Mittens is Angry - Had more fun with this one than I did playing Kinetic, liked the patterns a little more too. 8/10

Odoru Mizushibuki - Patterns are really smooth to play, I enjoy playing this one. Nice bg too ;^) 8.5/10

Ooi - Wew, this map is really fun, and I like the patterns a lot. Definitely need to play this on rates. 9.5/10

Overcomplexification - This is some good shit Starry, gotta try it on rates. 9/10

Powerflux - Oh man this is brutal, I can barely play this on 1.0. The chart is really fucking good though. 9.5/10

Raise Your Flag - The holds gave me cancer, and I enjoy your other dumps a lot more than this one. Not too bad though. 7/10

Rave 6 - What the hell is this. br/10

Sayonara Planet Wars - By far the best map of this song that I have played, good stuff. 9/10

Sigma for the Delta - Played this mainly because it is challenging, didn't like the one hand trill bursts, but other than that this is an okay dump. 7.5/10

Speed of Link - Nice challenging stamina file here, pretty simple patterns, not much else to say. 7.5/10

Sun Valley - I can't fucking play this, so idk if I can judge it right lol. br/10

Toilet Story - Only will play it again cause it is challenging, not really fun to play, harder than it should have been. 6/10

Tomato Leaf Breaks - Better than your other maps in this pack, pretty fun on 0.9 rate, kills me on 1.0. 8/10

Trooper - Really enjoyed this one, nice patterns too. Good shit. 9.5/10

Why do you Hate Me? - I would like this a lot more if you didn't have that [24]32[13]23 part, I fucking hate that pattern. Other than that this is pretty good. 8/10

Yura Yura - What the FUCK is this/10

._Pulse - Liked Powerflux a little more, but this one is really cool too. 9/10


I'll get around to playing more of the maps later. I tried to play only the challenging maps or the maps that I heard are good though, so idk how good the other maps in this pack are.

toilet story 5 - overlayered for the sake of being a hard chart. wasnt fun. 2/10

james may, guil, lein, leo137, and kingfisher all have some serious potential.

Welcome back choofers

I have no idea what sidechaining means.

Apparently I need to catch up on my StepMania lingo

[ilikexd]

sidechaining is music production lingo not sm lingo :^)

[Kraezymann]

Oh, thanks. Guess I misread what he wrote, should have known.

remember, all of my reviews were personal opinion. if you want me to go more in depth, feel free to send me a private message, unless I said your chart is totally boring. if that's the case, just chart something more exciting

Makes sense! Thanks for the great review choof :*

While I don't agree with that rating, given the fact you gave no proof of why the file should be rated THAT low, I do agree with what you said about Aha! in general, and the overall rating given to it.

Thanks for taking the time to write this out.

my rating on that is mostly due to how boring the song is, how long the song is, and how boring I felt your patterns were

Understood. Some patterns are maybe cool but most of them are totally meh. Precising those 'meh' patterns in that file could make it quite better but I haven't reconsidered before.

[Leo137]

@lurker: blame bemani lame simplistic charts, like, just look at ddr
bemani is more easy to step also and if you feel without ideas you can always check at the 13123 other charts of the same song

gotta agree with you on this, this file has amnesic powers. Still i remember having fun playing this but i don't know of what

this was my most interesting submission and it's sad because the preview isn't catchy enough so most people skip it

is a sexcy smiley

I also felt how some submissions ooze o!m vibes, and as i hate so much how the 4k ranked maps are going at osu, this is a bad thing. Apparently is something that has to do with hold overusage and inconsistent layering techniques. Of course i also had some nice surprises and great files (and i haven't played the entire pack) playing this, but yolo4 has been a little bit different because of that. I think i'm an "oldschool" yolo3 fan ("yolo chancellors")

well, thanks for the reviews choofers, that was fun to read

osu!mania's hold and release style mechanics for LNs are responsible for the liberal use of holds. Most of the o!m players that submitted files and got ones accepted still have the habit of subconsciously putting down holds and not taking into consideration of how they play out in SM (as well as most of the o!m files in yolo4 being converted over with little to no changes).

of course i could be wrong and gay but only one of those things are 100%

yeah i probably should have elaborated in the review but i didn't want to be too pretentious

the song quality sounds like a garbage dump

[choof]

update: played shokuji or however it's spelled, that j-rock skwid chart
7/10

[PhilGh3]

niec pack

[James May]

Mhm, thanks for the reviews Yoshl and Choof. Also Choof, if you want, you can Skype me a more detailed review for both DANBO and Juicy. I want to polish them up a bit more before I release my pack.

[[TeRa]]

w1sh is =))

[Wafles]

Thanks everyone for the reviews and comments, I know I appreciate any feedback on my files still so it was nice to see, and I'm sure others feel the same way.

Nice to see that my dump files are somewhat well received in this.

[eldente]

I fucks with it
