FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness - Page 15

I usually just take away a layer. Seems to work.

moches · 01-20-2013, 10:55 PM

advice on easy charts:

-focus on accents, not layering. figure out how you can simplify patterns/rhythms without taking away from the song
-try to stay away from hands as much as possible. jumps are fine, but in general it's not good to have a bunch of fast consecutive jumps--can get very very hard to read very fast.
-generally, anything over 8th notes should be used for very strong accents. beginner players can't read dense stuff very well.
-climax theory is doubly effective in easy files. the farther in you get, the more liberty you have to make the file a bit harder.

The problem I am having is that taking away a layer doesn't remove that much, since the file isn't that heavily layered in the first place. Even if it was mostly single notes, it still wouldn't be what I would define as an "easy file", since it has 200 BPM 16ths.

EDIT: Thanks moches, I'll give some of those tips a shot.

if you want to get a better idea of how to step an easy file, I can show you a few of the easy charts I made. lemme PM you in just one sec

moches · 01-23-2013, 09:45 AM

idea: release ~6-8 files in advance as a teaser for the entire pack, post in Chit Chat thread to raise awareness about the pack (especially because we still need tons of easy charts, playtesters, and graphics)

good idea or bad idea?

Wayward Vagabond · 01-23-2013, 10:01 AM

I say yes

moches · 01-23-2013, 10:15 AM

alright, then. sending out notifications right now (since some people might not want their files to be released beforehand)

**blindreper1179** · 01-23-2013, 08:00 PM

moches · 01-23-2013, 08:05 PM

that should be plenty of time

moches · 01-26-2013, 07:08 AM

WE NEED PLAYTESTERS, GUYS!

If interested, please PM me with the following information!
1. Your skill level (attaching a few SM scores might be helpful)
2. How much free time you have from February 1 to February 7!

We especially need beginner players to test the easy charts, so please please apply if you're interested.

buizel8888 · 01-26-2013, 10:33 AM

I'd help but odds are I'd end up bitching to remove half the pack.

Maybe I'll still apply for easy charts. Must look at my availability.

intensez · 01-26-2013, 05:30 PM
