[Poison-]

Yay PHALANX

EDIT: Phalanx is terribly off sync

[SC_coolguy44]

Daybreak: This was a fun file.
Kirlian Changes: This is your typical generic difficulty 4 file.
Phalanx: Fun file, bursts galore.
Super Signal Force: Holy crap, more ZeroFuser! But on a more serious note, this is a fun file and the song is awesome.
Pitch Black (FFR Edit): I don't have enough credits (only have 2876), but when I do get enough credits, I will play the song right away.

[Reshiram]

Wow, Phalanx got completely rape-a-daped on the conversion. Were there stops in the file? Because that can cause something like that.

[jimerax]

well, an error due to 48kHz mp3. might re-convert.

Done now.

[VisD]

Pitch Black was really fun. Super Signal Force might be a bit too easy to be a 10?

[Reshiram]

Damn. I got better scores on the off-Phalanx than I do on the on-sync file. :<

If any of you don't recognize Super Signal Force immediately, then it means you haven't played FFR R2 :monkey:

Ah yes, R2. Hopefully someone steps the menu music (Zanzibar Green by FGJ! feat. The Fats Sabobah).

[Plan_Bsk81127]

Daybreak - Pretty cool song, fun chart too

Kirlian Changes - I like these kind of Flashbulb songs, nice easy chart

Phalanx - Song wasnt anything special, chart was meh

Super Signal Force - Song reminds me of Guitar vs Piano lol, not much variation to that song, chart was decent I guess

Pitch Black (FFR Edit) - Song was pretty boring, chart was meh, not too fond of it.

I've tried. I know Dossar had a file for it as well.

PS.

Pitch Black felt like one of those charts that start out well, but progressively get worse and worse the further you get into it. Chart was pretty okay for the most part. The repeating anchor/rolls turned me off and the song forces repetitive concepts; nonetheless.. solid stuff, but I won't be touching this one again.

Phalanx, lol. Dunno what's up with this file. Awkward 32nd bursts and minitrills everywhere and whatnot. Honestly though, I appreciate you trying to make it less generic, but I just wasn't feeling it at all. Mediocre at best, really.

Kirlian Changes, not much to say. Easy, laidback Flashbulb song and chart. Cool beans.

Daybreak has to be my favorite release of this week. Song was great, despite it having the same composition as every other 'trancecore' song in the game. Chart was fun and relevant enough to my taste. Good stuff.

~reviewz~

[TC_Halogen]

I'm really fond of Pitch Black - the technique required to AAA it is quite difficult and it tests a lot of concepts while being relevant to the music. Frame issues make it a LOT tougher, but I definitely appreciate the challenge.

Didn't like Phalanx much... really unorthodox patterns; not my kind of thing. Nothing wrong with how it's stepped, but not my cup of tea.

EDIT: played the others:

- Kirlian Choices was a nice taste for a 4 - interesting pattern choices overall.
- Super Signal Force was alright, there was one section in particular where I wondered why the guitar was being followed and not the 5-note repeats in the synth, but that's entirely subjective. File flowed well; no real complaints.
- Daybreak was nice, but uh... not an 8.

[AlexDest]

phalanx i found fun, the bursts aren't generic and the layering was very well put but seems to get the song anticlimatic afterwards. still nicely done with this 8/10

pitch black was annoying, the transitions aren't fun and causes it to be unnecessarily excessive on technicality. 5/10

super signal force - seems simple and old school, nice patterns to it and easy to play 6/10

kirlian changes was a nice easy listening file to play through

haven't played daybreak yet

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Daybreak
8.3/10

Kirlian Changes
9.5/ 10

Phalanx
Dear god why?!

Super Signal Force
7/ 10 (Best Doss chart to date)

Pitch Black (FFR Edit) [Veteran]

[DossarLX ODI]

lol Middie I think you'd be interested to know that one of those 12th/16th polyrhythms is a zero frame interval

[Magicturbo]

Pitch Black - I'm not enjoying this one :/.... the rolls and patterns in and out of things.. not for me

Phalanx - Still trying to make up my mind about this... quite the colourful step... feels like there were some regular patterns and their notes were suddenly randomized. It's unique though

Super Signal - not overly fond of the patterns. They're correct, but it felt a bit repetitive. Meh :P

Haven't tried the others

Maybe it was overdone with technicality but it wasn't unnecessary, the various patterns makes it more interesting as well. Pitch Black could have had more variety in it, and less abrupt patterns.

[DossarLX ODI]

Pitch Black surely did get butchered in a few parts from frame conversion making minijacks 2 framers but it's still alright.
