silence & caprice are gr8 files wtf

[j-rodd123]

caprice is kinda eh but silence is awesome

Beethoven Virus is better than some of the charts being accepted today.

I'm 100% serious about that, too.
It was WAY ahead of its time and flows really well.
Someone doing a v2 would probably have to over- or under-step it compared to the one in the game because, while the one in the game certainly has a few minor issues, anything that corrects them but leaves the fun parts intact would be rejected for being too similar. That's just a testament to how few issues the current version has, IMO.

i love a lot of the old files like secret zombie room & beethoven virus

+1 for a legacy v2 stepping event/batch. The game sorely needs these, and it'd be cool to see a few in the next tournament.

[Doug31]

Beethoven Virus was good although a bit easy so I preferred to play other songs.

I also thought NeoMax, Molto Vivace, and a few others were well done.

Edit: I want a legacy stepping event, too. But where can I download legacy songs?

[bmah]

Legacy songs like those from DJ Kankaoh are often very hard to find. I honestly don't know where you'd find them now. I would like someone to step a proper version of Pwned!

[Wayward Vagabond]

Just rip from the .swf lol

[One Winged Angel]

I miss playing Pwnd!, fuc whoever ripped that from the game

Also post #6666

[popsicle_3000]

Their quality is like 60kbps or something though.

Also Pwnd! was a file with a retarded jack at the end with a zeroframer on the last note

[One Winged Angel]

and the scoreboard had players in the trillions !!

[DossarLX ODI]

Also if you guys are serious about the legacy batch idea I could rip the mp3s from all the .swf files, but just a word of warning: the sound quality is pretty bad to begin with. Antinomie had a higher quality mp3 of Euphoria and his other songs on his new site nemystic.

Mega Man II Dr. Wily Theme #1
Rondo Alla Turca
Vertex Beta vrofl if it counts, although it wasn't intended to be good.
And worst of all, Chrono Trigger, although it's gone now. It had 8 notes that were so horrible because they were zero framers and might have even been 3 notes in the same spot they were just so ridiculous.

yeah i don't know how hellbeat even got accepted unless it was a synthlight file

[DossarLX ODI]

Herogashi intentionally put in 300 BPM 64ths for the zeroframers in Chrono Trigger. The file runs at 300 BPM 8ths putting aside the 64th minijacks.

Back in legacy times there weren't any simfiling standards. A stepfile recorder was used where the person tapped and it worked like Ctrl+R in stepmania, and clearly this caused the offsync nature of the files. The alternative was to use notepad for the dwi files.

[bmah]

I never understood why Pwned! was a hidden song when we clearly had permission from DJ Kankaoh. I've asked this many times before, and my question was always dodged.

[popsicle_3000]

can't we bring that file back then?

[DossarLX ODI]

You don't want Pwnd! back in game, especially for public ranks. Like I mentioned it has a stupid Revolutionary Etude jack at the end (but faster) and then a zeroframer on the last note right at the end of the jack.

I do. For shits.

Pwnd! was a funny song
